1. PERSECUTION OF MINORITIES

2. PERSECUTION OF MINORITIES
In the years of Nazi rule before World War II, policies of persecution
towards German Jews were focused on expelling them from
Germany. After the Nazi party took power in 1933, the Reichstag
generated anti-Jewish legislation, boycotts, "Aryanization," and
massive street violence, for example the Kristallnacht (commonly
known as the "Night of Broken Glass"). To do this, the Nazi leaders
kicked out the Jews out of Germany by isolating them from German
society and by eliminating them from the German economy,
removing any opportunity for them to make a living in Germany.

3. CONCENTRATION CAMPS
• They are called “Concentration Camps”
because the victims imprisoned were
physically “concentrated” in a specific
location.
• Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany
established about 20,000 camps to
imprison many millions of victims
(German Communists, Socialists, Social
Democrats, Gypsies, Jehovah´s Witnesses,
Homosexuals, persons accused of
“asocial” or socially deviant behavior).
From the transit camps, they were taken
to extermination camps which were built
primarily for mass annihilation.
• After Germany's annexation of Austria in
March 1938, the Nazis arrested German
and Austrian Jews and imprisoned them
in concentration camps.

4. FINAL SOLUTION
• They used the term “Final Solution” to
refer to their plan to annihilate the Jewish
people. It isn’t known when the leaders of
Nazi Germany definitively decided to
implement the "Final Solution." The
genocide or mass destruction of the Jews
was the culmination of a decade of
increasingly severe discriminatory
measures.
• German SS and police murdered nearly
2,700,000 Jews in the killing centers either
by asphyxiation with poison gas or by
shooting. In its entirety, the "Final Solution"
called for the murder of all European Jews
by gassing, shooting, and other means.
Approximately six million Jewish men,
women, and children were killed during
the Holocaust , two-thirds of the Jews living
in Europe before World War II.

5. GAS CHAMBERS
The Nazis built gas chambers, that were rooms that supposed to
be filled with poison gas to kill those who were inside. This
increased killing efficiency and the process was more
impersonal for the executioner. At the Auschwitz camps there
were four gas cambers to annihilate the Jews . During the height
level of Jews that came to the camp, there were 6,000 Jews
gassed every day. Carbon monoxide gas was introduced through
the showerheads.
