Examples Of Safety In Night By Elie Wiesel
In Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, he describes how the Jews of Sighet, his home town, have an illusion of safety up until they reached Auschwitz. In the
beginning, they felt safe while the war went on thinking that "the Germans will not come this far"(9) into Hungry as the Jews believed that the
Germans "could not harm [them]"(8) thus creating a false sense of safety. They turned a blind eye even when Moshe the Beadle, a Jewish town
member who witnessed the reality of Nazi atrocities come back to warn them of the Germans. Yet when the Germans arrived into Sighet, they were
kind to the Jews as the Germans brought "a box of chocolates"(10), creating the false illusion of safety. The Germans are "distant but polite"(9) to the

Modern Anti Semitism : Anti Racism
MODERN ANTI–SEMITISM:
Term anti–Semitism created by Wilhelm Marr in 1873, a German political campaigner. He believed that Jews were conspiring to run the state, thus
should be excluded citizenship.
In Russia the police forged a collection of documents called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which is a secret plot by rabbis to take over the
world. Further anti–Semitism rose from the idea of social Darwinism that Jews were a different race.
In 1984 Alfred Dreyfus, a Jew who was a caption in the French army was falsely accused of selling military secrets to the Germans. When evidence
was discovered of his innocence, it was quickly covered as they wanted to use the Jews as a scapegoat. Dreyfus was eventually vindicated, however
this scandal showed the extent to which anti–Semitism was at large in France. Herzl who was reporting this case decided something had to happen,
leading to the idea of Zionism.
Origins and Scale of the 20th Century Holocaust
The main origin of the holocaust was anti–Semitism
In the 20th century after the First World War, the world was in political and economic crisis.
Jewish people were part of the community, wealthy, and often considered of same social standing as the Germans after 1919
But still underlying anti–Semitism existed in Germany, after the Russian revolution, the Bolshevik government became the first ever government to
make anti–Semitism illegal as some of the Russian leaders were Jewish themselves. There was peace

Elie Wiesel: The German Invasion Of Poland And Jews
Wiesel had a typical childhood until 1939, the year when Germany invaded Poland and Jews were forced under Nazi rule. Elie Wiesel was born on
September thirtieth 1928, in Sighet, Romania. He wanted to grow in his relationship with God as a young man and even had a spiritual mentor.
However, during this time Jews were being prosecuted. His family was forced into Jewish Ghettos under the Nazi regime. The ghettos were a part of
a city, especially a slum area occupied by a minority group. The family was not able to escape in time and had to deal with the loss of their home and
possessions. Elie and his father were prisoners at Auschwitz, the main concentration camp, here, Wiesel witnessed the death of newly born babies and

Hitler 's Second World War II
September 1, 1939: Silence in Europe is brought to an abrupt end! German forces storm the Polish borders, and break the Non–Aggression Pact laid
forth over five years before (EyeWitness). The Fuhrer spoke of the Poles breaking down the peace talks, and of the atrocities committed upon the
Germanic people by them (Hitler, Adolf), but these highly exaggerated claims veiled Hitler's true intentions: Though Hitler's primary goal was the
conquering of Europe, hindsight shows that the removal of groups of people he disliked or thought of as 'lesser' were included in his plans from the

It has been my observation that the Germanic peoples have always had an affinity for battle and glory. Hitler plays into this with his constant use of

Social Effects Of The Holocaust
The Holocaust was the persecution and the murder of six million Jews by Hitler, the nazi party and its collaborators. The meaning of the word
holocaust is "sacrifice by fire." During the holocaust the government was the Nazi party. The Nazis, who came to power in Germany, believed that
Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so–called German racial community. Germans
thought the Roma's (gypsies), homosexuals, and the disabled people were a threat to the Germans as well. They used these groups as a scapegoat due
to the depression after the loss of World War II. Hitlers goal during the final solution aimed to isolate Jews from society and drive them out of the

Many of the troops found the massacres to be difficult. Some of the perpetrators suffered physical and mental health problems, and many turned to
drink. Himmler realized this during a visit to Minsk in August 1941, Himmler witnessed an Einsatzgruppen mass execution first–hand and saw that
shooting Jews was too stressful for his men. The result of this problem was the gas van, a mobile gas, which employed carbon monoxide called
Zyklon B from the truck's exhaust to kill victims. Gas vans made their first appearance on the eastern front in late fall 1941. Einsatzgruppen killed
about 1.5 million innocent Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and anti– Nazis.

Why Did Nazi Persecution Of The Jews?
History
Why did Nazi persecution of the Jews Become more extreme between 1933–1945?
When Hitler came into power in January 1933 he set out to implement his ideology which included anti–Semitism and the enforcement of an "Aryan
race". There were many reasons that contributed to the persecution becoming more extreme between 1933 and 1945 such as: The Nuremberg Laws,
Kristallnacht, little or no opposition, the Wannsee conference and the idea thatGermany should be germanised. The invasion of Austria,
Czechoslovakia and Poland leading to World War 2 were also the reasons why the Nazis put more extreme measures against theJews in place. To begin
with, the Nazis faced relatively little open opposition during their twelve years in power. In private, Germans complained about the regime and its
actions. These included refusing to give the Nazi salute, pass on anti–Nazi jokes and rude stories about senior Nazis. Ultimately, this would have made
it extremely easy to severely persecute the Jews as there would be few who were able to rebel or stand against their actions. This was made easier,
knowing that Hitler 's close enemies and leaders were executed by his elite bodyguard on 30th June 1934 by the event known as "Night of the Long
Knives". Source A (OCR, GCSE, Modern world) supports this as it shows soldiers saluting with two hands instead of one, giving the opinion that

In one of the laws it stated that if you were not of German blood then you were not a citizen of Germany. There were "citizens" and "subjects". A

a person could be a Jew. People became confused about how to classify who were Jews, especially mixed Jews. A law passed called Regulation to
the Reich Citizenship Law. In this law a Jew was defined as someone with three or four Jewish grandparents. Also if the person had two full Jewish
parents, belonged in the Jewish community, or was married to a Jew, then that person was a Jew. As for mixed Jews the law classified them as
someone who was descended from two Jewish grandparents. Another law was that no German girl under the age of forty–five was allowed to be
employed in a Jewish house. In section four of the law Jews were banned from raising the German Reich flag, but were allowed to show Jewish colors.

What Are The Causes Of A Holocaust?
The Jews were always a target of the world. Other nations always made them feel less then they were and they always made them think the least of
themselves. Jews never did anything to deserve this treatment but things like the holocaust made the world think that the Jews were the blame for the
hatred in the world. Jews were lead into sadness, physical abuse, and being emotionally uncomfortable, which made them think their lives were not
worth the trauma. Jews were forced into labor, beat to death, burned alive, separated from their families, and so many more traumatizing things that
we can never even think to imagine are possible. Living as a Jew was never easy but the Jews always kept strong and always kept their spirit alive and
that is why we are here today.

Germany. Hitler's goal in life was to eliminate the Jewish population. With his rise to power in Germany, he would put into action his plan of
elimination. This is not only why German Jews were the main target of the Holocaust, but why they were a large part of the years before, during, and
after the Holocaust. Hitler's "final solution" almost eliminated the Jewish population in Europe during World War II. At the end of the war and along

2). Even though this was not a violent treatment of the Jews, it was an attempt to bankrupt and dehumanize them of everything they had worked for
their whole lives (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). As a result, Jews became a segregated people. They had to ride on buses and trains only in the seat that
were clearly marked for them (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). Jewish children were allowed to be bullied at school in an attempt to keep them from
coming to school. Hitler used this to brand the Jews as a lazy people (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). The Nuremberg Laws passed in 1935 gave even
more power to the Nazis and took away more dignity of the Jews. The Jews were stripped of their German citizenship and marriages between Jews and
non–Jews were not allowed (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). At this point, the Jews who could afford to pay a fine to leave the country were allowed
to do so, but the ones who could not afford it had to stay behind and were not allowed to get food or medicine (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). Hitler's
campaign against the Jews escalated in 1938 with "Krystalnacht" – The Night of the Broken Glass (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). After a Nazi

Anti-Semitic German Propaganda
During World War II, anti–Semitic publications circulating throughout Germany display clear evidence of pervading the minds of young German
children. Julius Steicher, editor of Der Stumer and the agent responsible for many of the anti–Semitic publications (Mills), helped dramatically initiate
the German resistance toward Jews early on in a child's life. It is important to understand the severity of anti–Semitism taught to the future Nazi
generation in order to maintain the National Socialist state and further it's agenda. By examining the ideas, and publications aimed towards children
that express those ideals, it is clear that the National Socialist state wanted to indoctrinate a hateful, militant agenda into young children. Ultimately, the
final result was to maintain the prejudice view that the Jewish people were the inferior race, and therefore the enemy for future generations.
One of the chief ways to target young German children with Nazi propaganda was through the school systems. A German educator wrote in The
National Socialist Essence of Education, that mathematics was "Aryan spiritual property, an expression of the Nordic fighting spirit, of the Nordic
struggle for the supremacy in the world"(Hirsch, 119). Children were given slogans to learn and recite such as: "Judas the Jew betrayed Jesus the
German to the Jews" (Mann, 90). Furthermore, by 1937, about 97% of all teachers belonged to the National Socialist Teachers Union (Mills).

The anti Jewish sentiment was already strong in many parts of Germany and whilst anti–Semitism might not have been in the forefront of everyone's
mind, it was already a conscious part of everyday life. And in early 1935, a second wave of anti–Jewish agitation followed, once again , following
pressure from within the lower party activists within the SA and Hitler Youth. This renewed violence, whilst sanctioned by Hitler, once again
proved relatively unpopular amongst the German people and Hitler recognised the need to draw this damaging campaign to a swift conclusion. But
at the same time, Hitler did not wish to lose face with his party activists, which led to the Nuremberg Laws of September 1935. The Nuremberg
Laws effectively banned the Jews from any citizen rights. The 'Blood Law' or Reich's Citizenship Law banned Jews from marrying Germans, it
banned them from sexual relations with Aryans, it banned the Jewish people from displaying the National flag and effectively stripped them of their
rights to citizenship. The debate about what defined a Jew tested Hitler in the weeks following the Nuremberg Rally eventually creating the

Holocaust Research Paper
1.1 Background
The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, and deliberate persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime. It is a word of Greek
origin and means "sacrifice by fire" 
Shortly after Adolf Hitler gained power in the Third Reich, he began to implement horrific measures designed
to disempower the German Jews from economic and social positions. Life for the Jews became increasingly worse when the onset of WWII came
along in 1939. The Germans began to strip the Jews of their lives, and began deporting (or resettling as the public believed) them to the East to Ghettos
and later to concentration and extermination camps. At the camps, the Germans either worked the Jews to death or gassed them in massive gas
chambers, then destroyed the evidence by burning the copious amounts of bodies at a time in the colossal crematoriums. 
During the six years of
the War, there were around 6 million Jews, including 1.5 million children that were murdered by the Nazis, and around two million other "undesirables"
also exterminated. Hitlers annihilation of the Jews killed one third of the Jewish world population, and two thirds of the European Jewish population.
1.2 Treatment of the Jews

was based on political beliefs. Even though the hate against Jews was not accepted by everyone anti–Semitism was common and provided for an

Unlike the Jews of Eastern Europe, German Jews considered themselves no different from other Germans, but in religion. They were merchants
and scholars and professional people who went to the same schools and gathered in the same places as other Germans. And, for their part, the
other Germans were used to dealing with Jewish businessmen and having their ailments treated by Jewish doctors. When Hitler came to power he
could not expect the masses of ordinary German people to agree to his program of extermination. Instead the Nazis led them to that end by gradual
steps. From the day that Hitler took power in January 1933 there were efforts to terrorize Jews and exclude them from German life. As soon as
Hitler eliminated his political opposition in Germany and suspended the Weimar Constitution, he and his associates started to build a brick wall
between Jews and the other Germans. Jews were expelled from schools and fired from their jobs because of their beliefs. There were organized

The Holocaust: German National Pride
National pride was a key factor in the German people's indifference to or participation in state–sponsored genocide and murder. There are five main
reasons why. Jews were among those blamed by German military officers looking for excuses as to why Germany was defeated in WWI, and thus
were linked to the loss of national pride. Jews were seen as bringing down the economy by taking up space and manipulating other Germans into giving
the Jews their money to fuel the Jews' inherent greed. Hitler had helped to create national and cultural unity in Germany which included strong feelings
of anti–Semitism at its base. Jews were generally seen as inferior and impure genetically so improving one's nation would include removing them.

As Jews were generally seen as genetically impure and inferior during this time period, it would be shameful to admit that your country had such
people as Jews living in it. Hans Gunther, a respected German professor of anthropology, classified Jews as a racial group as well as a cultural and
religious group. This classification made it so Jews were further seen as polluting the German gene pool ("Anti–Semitism in Germany: Historical
Background"). With the fascist belief that their country must be "pure," and Hitler's belief that there was a great Jewish conspiracy to dominate the
world, there was no place in Nazi Germany for the Jews. Many Germans might consider it a source of pride to help expel/murder the Jews, as they
thought they were helping to speed up the natural selection process. Additionally, getting rid of the Jews and other minorities in Germany to leave only
the "Master Aryan race" would certainly be something to be proud of for a German during this time.

The Anti-Jewish Policy Leading Up To The Holocaust
The anti–Jewish policy was one of Hitler's main concerns during his time in power. The evolution of the policies against Jews leading up to the war
included three major events: boycotts, the Nuremberg laws, and Kristallnacht. The war was also extremely important in the genocide of Europe's
Jewish population as it helped blanket the Holocaust and the "final solution".
Boycotting Jewish individuals was the first major step for Nazis in creating a "racially pure" nation by excluding the Jews from the Germans. The
Nazis began boycotting the Jews by prohibiting them from holding government offices. Jewish teachers, professors, lawyers, judges, and many
other occupations were forbidden from holding their jobs any longer. This action let the Jewish Germans know that they were no longer welcome in
German society and lead to "voluntary" emigration. The Nazis created many harsh laws for the Jews and in response the U.S. citizens protested Nazi
policies and called for an international boycott of German goods. This led to the Nazis beginning the boycott against Jewish owned businesses
(Epstein 84). The Nazis called all Germans to boycott Jewish businesses and avoid shopping at any business that was not German owned. This did not
go as planned for the Nazis. Many Germans had formed close relations with the Jewish business owners and trusted their business. Also, many German

This basic information that the Germans had made the Jewish community an easy target. The fact that the Jews could partake in these horrible acts of
sacrifice and murder is what made Germans believe they were in the right. When trouble comes around, there has to be someone to point the finger
of blame at and who better to point the finger at than someone who was believed to have done horrible things in the past? The Butcher's Tale only
emphasizes the idea the all was well in the community until something tragic happened and the blame had to be placed somewhere. The easiest
solution was to blame the Jews. While they had lived together without trouble for so long, there was still that lingering idea that the Jews were
trouble of some sort. Once the blame of the young boys death was all but put on the Jewish community, it was that much easier to place the blame of
other issues on them as well. This deeply rooted hatred for the Jews brings us to the cause of anti–semitism and more specifically the rise in the late
nineteenth century, jealousy. As a period of industrial growth began, many changes occurred in the every day life of German and Jews. Because of

This essay explores the Holocaust's connection to modernity and postmodernity. The objective of this study is to explain the reasons why and how the
Holocaust occurred and if it could have been avoided. Comparing this event with other genocides that occurred in recent history, this essay proves if
the Holocaust was by and large spurred on by the conditions of modernity or would have occurred regardless.
During the Holocaust, Germans extinguished the lives of six million Jews and other "undesirables" including gypsies, communists, homosexuals, Slavs
and the physically or mentally disabled. The Holocaust defined German politics and political culture during the Nazi regime in 1933 to 1945. What
shocked the world most was the fact that such a barbaric and inhumane act was carried out rationally and systematically by an entire state of seemingly
civilized and "Westernized" people. The Holocaust took place ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This called into question the merits of modernity and the environment it created that planted the seeds for such cruelty and destruction.
One of the main reasons the Holocaust came about was the presence of anti–Semitism, bolstered by the rationalization and logic that justified the
treatment and murder of the Jews. Before the Nazi Regime, anti–Semitism was no doubt present, even rampant, in Germany and the rest of Europe.
However, this anti–Semitism took a form of an underlying hatred, which was rarely acted upon. It was only during the peak of modernism that this
hatred erupted into a fully formed organized, rational and powerful political force. Anti–Semitism and modernity proved to be perfectly

Thievery Quotes In The Book Thief
Imagine you are a poorly fed citizen, who is living in Germany, during the World War II, what would you be doing, probably stealing something to fill
up your tummy right? It is true that at the economically unstable period mentioned in the book, thievery is understandable, anything could be stolen
and anyone could be a thief. However, for those who have read and understand the book thoroughly would acknowledge the importance of Liesel's'
thievery characteristic.Markus Zusak, in The Book Thief characterizes Liesel as a thief to compare her theft with mutiny against Nazi Germany, other
rebellious German people and the development of her personal identity. First, Zusak describes Liesel as a curious girl to create a metaphor for those

Zusak as the author, demonstrates Liesel as a thief to compare her with other rebellious Germans. Throwback to the book Arrival On Himmel Street,
death has written "Her knees entered the ground. Her moment had arrived. Still in disbelief, she started to dig. He couldn't be dead. He couldn't be
dead. He couldn't–" (23), these words indicate the similarities between Liesel and many other Germans during the period. As we all have known,
during World War II, many German families has to suffer from separation. Childrens are separated from their parents, siblings are supported by
each others. Just like Liesel, many in the time were departed from their parents on their way to their foster parents. Unfortunately for some of them,
their siblings, who share the same journey with them cannot make it to the destination. Not only Liesel shares faiths with the rebellious German
who are affected by the World War II, she is also experiencing the same feeling that they are sensing. They are all angry, they are in disbelief, that
their loved ones have left them behind in the lonely world. Correspondingly, in the book The Woman With The Iron Fist, Issa has spoken "This is
what I have to put up with, these rich bastards, these lazy swine..."(43). These words have spoken for the majority of Germans at the time. Through
the words, the abusive tone of the character Issa, we can clearly see the spark of rebellious. Although these words were not directly from Liesel, we all

Dehumanization In Elie Wiesel's Night
Night, by Elie Wiesel, is a memoir that recounts his horrific experience of life during the Holocaust. Wiesel is only fifteen when German soldiers
invade his home town of Sighet, Transylvania. Before long, the Jews of Sighet are forced into cramped ghettos until they are all sent to concentration
camps. For over a year, Wiesel suffers various forms of inhumane treatment as he moves between different concentration camps, eventually ending up in
Buchenwald where he is freed along with the rest of the prisoners by the Americans in 1945. Throughout Wiesel's telling of this story, similes and
metaphors really emphasize the dehumanization that Jews and Wiesel himself faced at the hands of their German captors by creating a correlation
between the Jewish prisoners and animals.
These comparisons between Jews and animals start when the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Upon Wiesel's arrival in Birkenau, an inmate announces that the line he and his father are in will likely be heading to the crematorium. This
causes the people around Wiesel to break out into whispers, one claiming that they "should revolt" because they can't let the Germans kills them
"like cattle in a slaughterhouse" (Wiesel 31). This connection is a good description for all of Wiesel's time in concentration camps because, like
cattle in a slaughterhouse, the Jews are regularly herded in large groups from one place to another and are simply waiting to be killed by one of
their German captors. Another notable comparison occurs when Wiesel and the other Jews from Gleiwitz travel to Buchenwald via cattle cars. As the
train passes a German town, people begin to throw pieces of bread into the train cars. The starving Jews throw themselves at one another as "beasts of
prey" were "unleashed", all with "animal hate" shining "in their eyes" (Wiesel 101). This

German Jews During The Holocaust
When the Nazis settled that the Jews were the primary cause of Germany's problems in the Second World War, they launched a mission aimed at
torturing and killing them (Rosenfield 28). In particular, they sought to wipe all the Jews out of the surface of the earth. To gain political mileage, Hitler
faulted the Jews for Germany's economic woes following the First World War. This further created a lot of negative feelings required for Hitler to
come and rule Germany. He embarked on a mission geared towards imprisoning the Jewish people in concentration camps. In January 1937, 214,000
Jews by religious definition lived in Germany. The persecution of the Jews in 1940s took ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The needy Jews would on some occasions be given hand–me–downs of neighbors who had taken committed suicide or had been summoned for
deportation. Getting such hand–me–downs was illegalized because the government confiscated all the Jewish possessions (Kaplan 145). Besides
withholding food and clothing from the Jews, the Nazis turned rendered the Jews into refugees within Germany. Government bodies compelled Jews
out of their homesteads and into new ones on short notices, keeping them migrating from one point to another. Jews had to sell more furniture with
every successive migration to tighter and tinier areas of residence. Normally a whole family would be squeezed into a compact room. In some cases,
total strangers were jammed together. Renowned poet Gertrud Kolmar, who shared an apartment with her father and some strangers, said that since
her bed was in the dining section, she no longer had refuge, no space for herself, and the feeling of homelessness had become more painful. In
addition, the new lodgings reserved for the Jews were under–heated and dilapidated. During winter, frost would develop inside the rooms, because fuel
deliveries were insufficient. Normally, in old and abandoned buildings, the rooms were infested, especially with bedbugs and other parasites (Kaplan

It is hard to picture that along with others that, 6 million Jews were targeted and killed during the Holocaust. It is astonishing to realize how racist and
cruel the Nazis acted towards the Jews. According to A Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust, once Hitler was in control of the German government "he
translated his harsh feeling toward Jews into many policies and statutes which eroded the rights of German Jews from 1933–1939" ("Victims"). The
anti–Jewish racist legislation passed The Nuremberg Laws in September, 1935. These laws made an extremely in depth Nazi definition of who was
Jewish. A lot of people who did not think of themselves as Jewish were now being seen as targets of Nazi discrimination. Jewish is not seen as a race,...

I think many German people and Nazis were pressured to join the Nazi Party in this mass murder because, if found or caught helping out the Jews
in any way they were considered traitors and possibly killed as well. Jews and only the Jews were singled out for total elimination. Even though the
Germans did not want a few groups in their way, they did not want to kill them off. The ideal of reducing inferior Polish and Russian populations to
create space for a stretched out German Reich would not be realized, but the elimination of as many Jews as possible from the world stage stayed
Germany's all time major concern, to which resources sustained to be directed even as the war was being lost. Nor were the Jews given a
opportunity to change or correct their customs. The Nazis did not want the Jews to inner mix with Germans so they created a law. At no point in
time, for any reason was a Jew allowed to break these laws, or they would be torture, maybe even murdered. According to the Commentaries to the
German Racial Laws of 1936, "The Blood Protection Law deals with the segregation of Jewish and German blood from the biological point of view...
As an acute danger threatened the German people from Jewry alone, the law aims primarily at the prevention of further mixing of blood with the

Amsterdam and lived a normal, quiet life. Otto Frank, Anne's father had worked in a bank in Germany but after moving, he opened his own company
called "Opekta" where he sold spices. Both Anne and Margot went to school while their Mother Edith took care of the home. As the war
progressed,becoming worse, the Frank family tried to emigrate to England or the United States of America, but all attempts failed. Slide Two– Seven
year later, after moving to the Netherlands the German army invaded. As the invasion happened, laws and legations against the Jews came into
force. Anne and her family were not allowed to take any form of transport. Anne and Margot could only attend a school for Jews and when they
walked anywhere they had to wear a star with the words Jew on it on their sleeve. All Jews had a curfew. This is a certain time when and when not
they could be out at a friend's house or out in the streets. Once again the family tried to emigrate to the United States of America but failed again
causing the Frank Family to go into hiding. They weren't the only people in hiding in the location they were in. They shared a small, hidden annex

Holocaust : The Role Of Wealth And Nationality
Marnix Croes ' groundbreaking study entitled, "Holocaust Survival Differentials in the Netherlands, 1942–1945: The Role of Wealth and Nationality"
thoroughly entails the brutal persecution of roughly 140,000 Jews in the Netherlands during the Germans ' attempt to kill a majority of the Jewish
population throughout Europe. Marnix Croes is a researcher at the Ministry of Justice in the Netherlands. He frequently writes about the genocide that
took place back in the early 1940s.
This article discusses how wealth and nationality played a key role in withstanding the persecution from Germans for an extended period during the
Holocaust era as opposed to a traditional Jew. The two elements were essential for the Nazi in deciding when and where the Jews would be sent to meet
their excruciating death. However, those of the highest socioeconomic status were ironically sent to camp Wester Bork transit camp after the Jews of
the lowest socioeconomic status. This analysis goes against the usual assumption that having a higher social status would provide a chance to survive
at a better rate. Evasion through hiding was also a route Jews could embark on in that would allow a better chance of survival. However, this article
presents statistical evidence that shows a survival rate similar for those who chose to the hideout and for those who did not. The deportation of the
Jews to Westerbork was often evaded through the obtainment of an exemption. These exemptions meant nothing because they

He persecuted and executed social groups such as the Jews, gypsies, disabled, and people who were of different religious background as they were
regarded as 'inferior'. In the year 1933, Jews numbered approxiamently 525,000 (0.8% of the German population) (Museum, German Jews During The
Holocaust, 1939–1945, 2015). Hitler had firm racial policies and believed that non Germans should not have any citizenship rights. Many of these

Forced labor was often pointless and humiliating, imposed without proper equipment, clothing, nourishment or rest (Museum, 2015). Despite signing
a contract with the pope, The Catholic Youth League was broken up, Catholic priests were arrested and religious teachings were banned. Not only
did Hitler set up a Protestant Reich Church with Nazi Bishops, but Ministers such as Martin Niemoller, who resisted were sent to concentration
camps. Therefore, the Holocaust created by Hitler was such a compelling program as it gave Hitler the power to persecute or execute any individuals

Children During The Holocaust Essay
In Germany, Jews were forced into deadly and inhumane concentration camps by the Germans. They've been dehumanized through the torture of hard
labor and medical experiments, which is very cruel since no one's right to life should've been taken from them. It's interesting how the Germans got
away with forcing the Jews and other racial groups to work long hours in factories with no breaks for food or water, leading to starvation and lack of
dehydration. People shouldn't be treated as non–humans because they had the right not to before it was taken away from them, and the effort that the
Germans put to torture the Jews is really horrific but fascinating at the same time. As far as forced labor, people didn't have a choice about how they

"The German law restricted the number of Jewish students at German schools and universities," as stated in the article, "Children During The Holocaust
." Without education, many Jewish children would have to live with not being able to have better jobs when they are older because the higher the level
of education you finish, the more job opportunities you'll have that pays a high salary. Additionally, taking Jewish education affected their level of
intelligence since they weren't able to learn as much as the other German children that were given the right of having an education. Another major thing
that Germans did to Jewish students was that they examined them in schools to see if they belonged to the true 'Aryan race,' the Germans had
"measured their skull size and nose length, and recorded their pupils' hair and eyes" (Nazi racism). This examination in the schools embarrassed and
humiliated those who did not fit the standards of the Aryan race, which is blonde, blue–eyed and tall. These high expectations of the Germans probably
lowered the self–esteem of these excluded children, which can affect how they view other people around them because other people are judging them
about their appearance instead of their intelligence. ("Children During The Holocaust," "Nazi

Examples Of Dehumanization In Night
The Holocaust was a tragic event filled with murder, abuse and dehumanization mirroring its true meaning sacrifice by fire. During the Holocaust

dehumanization are reflection through, mental abuse, physical abuse, and starvation.
During WWII Germans tormented Jews by dehumanizing them. The Jews were forced to give up their prize possessions. Some people buried their
valuables or sewed jewelry in their clothing. The Jews were then moved from their homes into Jewish ghettos surrounded by fences. The Jews found
themselves living in cramped homes with multiple families. Then the Jews were moved to concentration camps where they were forced to work. The

What I do not know is why did the Germans starve the Jews if they wanted the Jews to work. The average human can only live 3 weeks without
food so that's another way the Germans killed the Jews. It is like the Germans wanted a reason to hurt the Jews when they fail at their jobs because
they did not have any energy. Seriously, the Germans should have fed the Jews if they wanted them to work. It is just that starving is one of the
worst ways to die. Do to the Germans giving less food to the Jews, the Jews had to fight over the food so they probably injure each other or killed

The Holocaust And The Holocaust
The Holocaust was a genocide which lasted from 1942 to 1945 in which around 6 million European Jewish people were killed. It was the result of
the Ideals of the past chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler. Hitler came to power in 1933 by capitalising on worldwide events such as the great
depression in 1929 resulting from the Wall Street crash. He began spreading his ideas of anti–Semitism to the German population in preparation for the
'Final Solution' with the assistance of distribution methods like propaganda, violence, and an economic boycott. Most of the impacts resulting from his
methods proved to be extremely valuable to the success of the preparation as they efficiently and effectively carved a hateful image of the Jewish
population into the minds of the German people and aligned them with Hitler's ideas of anti–Semitism. However, some of his methods were not
valuable to prepare the German people as they were not able to depict a strong enough bias against the Jews.
Propaganda was arguably one of the most effective ways for ideas to be spread around rapidly, this was shown in Hitler's autobiography, Mien
Kampf, in which he states: "Propaganda tries to force a doctrine on the whole people..... Propaganda works on the general public from the standpoint
of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea." It shows that Hitler understood the effectiveness of propaganda and utilised it to spread his
anti–Semitist ideas towards the German people to create a negative image of the Jewish population. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Webpage states that the Nazi propagandists "exploited pre–existing images and stereotypes, and portrayed Jews as an "alien race" that fed off the host
nation, poisoned its culture, seized its economy, and enslaved its workers and farmers." This hateful depiction of the Jewish people was enough to
create fire in the minds of the German population and drove them into an anti–Semitic frenzy, resulting in the German people expressing their rage
against the Jews through violent means. The impact on the German people that was created by the slanderous depictions of Jews was extremely
valuable to prepare them for the Holocaust, as the hatred for the Jews was so deeply

Ghettos During The Holocaust
"Jewish civilians offered armed resistance in over 100 ghettos in occupied Poland and the "Soviet Union"(Jewish resistance). The holocaust lasted from
about 1939–1945. In that time frame, jews were forced to wear stars that labeled them as jews, lived in ghettos, and did labor. Many tried to escape
this way of living but ended up being killed. During the Holocaust, Jews used armed, spiritual and unarmed forms of resistance in order to retain their
humanity.
Jewish armed resistance started around 1943, the Jews fought against the germans while in the ghettos. The Jews Retallied back on Germans when they
were stripped of their human rights and everything was taking from them. "As a desperate effort, after it became clear to those who resisted that the
Nazis had murdered most of their families and their coreligionists"(Armed Jewish). For instance the jews resist against the germans because they were

How The Re Education Problem Of Germany Much More Than...
The re–education problem is related to Germany much more than other Axis countries, which they are considered as the victims as a result of their
alliance with Germans. Since Jews were the exposure to violence by the Nazi practice or education, discussed later, the United Nations supported and
assisted the Jews and considered the Germans as the murders. It is not known whether Hungary and Rumania were part of that nations or not, but they
can claim that the Nazi doctrine was something strange to them and was forced on them by the fear of the foreign nation force. Germany, however, has
no way of using this excuse to reject the Nazi, but they are able to show their rejection because of Nazi atrocity. In addition, even if we narrow the
subject to concern Germany only, it will still be, as Strauss said, "an iffy question" because we have to assume that the war will end by winning, and
the large parts of Germany are not invaded by the Red Army. Also, the Anglo
–Saxon–Russian cooperation should across the cessation of the hostility.
Moreover, the re–education of Germany concerning the Jews in particular is the hardest part of the re–education of Germany in the general form. Also,
when it is said "re–education", it gives as a hint that the bad education which is in practice should be replaced by a new good education, and it is

The Between Nazis And The German Jews
Whether it is turning off one's alarm and getting off of one's bed, making breakfast, taking the bus to school, tying one's shoes, or sitting down in the
same room for the same class at the same time, all of these are examples of rituals in day–to–day life. Different people have different interpretations of
what the word 'ritual' exactly means. A particular film, the likes of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas conveys many of these meanings; analyzing the
characters in this story, more specifically the contrast between the Nazis and the German Jews, their personality can be sufficiently explained via
Malory Nye's theory regarding symbolism in ritual, Emile Durkheim's idea of ritual as being a society–based action, Harvey Whitehouse's thought
about the relationship between ritual and memory, and Nye's perception of ritual as being a means of attaining power. Pulling these theories together,
the message in this film becomes, as commonly stated: what comes around goes around, and as such, regardless of another person's belief, one should
not discriminate against that person based on their beliefs and values. Throughout the film, it is the Jewish Germans who are dressed with the striped
pyjamas in the movie of discussion. And with deliberate reason. As such, it is not surprising that Nye has developed a theory of ritual which he labels

lived in countries that the Nazis controlled during World War II. The Germans killed almost two out of three EuropeanJews due to the "Final Solution".
The National Socialist government established concentration camps to watch the Jews and later deport them out of the country. Between 1941 and
1944, the Germans deported millions of the Jews from Germany to killing centers also called "extermination camps", where they were killed in the
gassing chambers. Many survivors of the Holocaust wrote a book about how life during this time period was for them , and what type of experiences
they had.The book Maus was wrote by Art Spiegelman to inform many readers of how life was for his father during the Holocaust. There were many
issues in politics throughout this book.
Communism was a major issue in politics, Spiegelman describes a lot of communism in his book. For example," The Germans intend to make an
example of them." (Spiegelman, #83) "Many of the Jews did not survive in the gas chambers at the death camps"."Anja and Vladek were brought to

Examples Of Safety In Night By Elie Wiesel

  • 1. Examples Of Safety In Night By Elie Wiesel In Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, he describes how the Jews of Sighet, his home town, have an illusion of safety up until they reached Auschwitz. In the beginning, they felt safe while the war went on thinking that "the Germans will not come this far"(9) into Hungry as the Jews believed that the Germans "could not harm [them]"(8) thus creating a false sense of safety. They turned a blind eye even when Moshe the Beadle, a Jewish town member who witnessed the reality of Nazi atrocities come back to warn them of the Germans. Yet when the Germans arrived into Sighet, they were kind to the Jews as the Germans brought "a box of chocolates"(10), creating the false illusion of safety. The Germans are "distant but polite"(9) to the Jews which fuels the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Modern Anti Semitism : Anti Racism MODERN ANTI–SEMITISM: Term anti–Semitism created by Wilhelm Marr in 1873, a German political campaigner. He believed that Jews were conspiring to run the state, thus should be excluded citizenship. In Russia the police forged a collection of documents called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which is a secret plot by rabbis to take over the world. Further anti–Semitism rose from the idea of social Darwinism that Jews were a different race. In 1984 Alfred Dreyfus, a Jew who was a caption in the French army was falsely accused of selling military secrets to the Germans. When evidence was discovered of his innocence, it was quickly covered as they wanted to use the Jews as a scapegoat. Dreyfus was eventually vindicated, however this scandal showed the extent to which anti–Semitism was at large in France. Herzl who was reporting this case decided something had to happen, leading to the idea of Zionism. Origins and Scale of the 20th Century Holocaust The main origin of the holocaust was anti–Semitism In the 20th century after the First World War, the world was in political and economic crisis. Jewish people were part of the community, wealthy, and often considered of same social standing as the Germans after 1919 But still underlying anti–Semitism existed in Germany, after the Russian revolution, the Bolshevik government became the first ever government to make anti–Semitism illegal as some of the Russian leaders were Jewish themselves.

  • 3. Elie Wiesel: The German Invasion Of Poland And Jews Wiesel had a typical childhood until 1939, the year when Germany invaded Poland and Jews were forced under Nazi rule. Elie Wiesel was born on September thirtieth 1928, in Sighet, Romania. He wanted to grow in his relationship with God as a young man and even had a spiritual mentor. However, during this time Jews were being prosecuted. His family was forced into Jewish Ghettos under the Nazi regime. The ghettos were a part of a city, especially a slum area occupied by a minority group. The family was not able to escape in time and had to deal with the loss of their home and possessions. Elie and his father were prisoners at Auschwitz, the main concentration camp, here, Wiesel witnessed the death of newly born babies and the killing of hundreds ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Hitler 's Second World War II September 1, 1939: Silence in Europe is brought to an abrupt end! German forces storm the Polish borders, and break the Non–Aggression Pact laid forth over five years before (EyeWitness). The Fuhrer spoke of the Poles breaking down the peace talks, and of the atrocities committed upon the Germanic people by them (Hitler, Adolf), but these highly exaggerated claims veiled Hitler's true intentions: Though Hitler's primary goal was the conquering of Europe, hindsight shows that the removal of groups of people he disliked or thought of as 'lesser' were included in his plans from the start. Two days later, on September 3rd, Great Britain and France declared war onGermany: This was it, the Second World War had begun (EyeWitness). My three ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It has been my observation that the Germanic peoples have always had an affinity for battle and glory. Hitler plays into this with his constant use of propaganda, inspiring the German people to fight for honor, bravery, glory and all such related terms. Finally he concludes his short speech with a bout of Nationalism: "Long live our people and our Reich!" (Hitler, Adolf) My next source is the Diary from the Years of Occupation 1939–1944, by Dr. Zygmunt Klukowski a Polish chief physician of a small hospital south of Lublin, Poland. His first entry is on October 11, after the Germans have settled in: he starts by stating the Germans are trying to clean up the city, but then details that they're using the Jews as laborers for it. "Jews must sweep the streets, clean all the public latrines, and fill all the street trenches." (Klukowski) He continues on to say that they must de–arm and finally adds that there is a police curfew in effect. Finally he surmises that "it seems most of the orders are aimed at the Jews." (Klukowski) Another entry states that the Germans have been executing mentally ill patients from the nearby hospitals. "It is so hard to believe anything as terrible as this." (Klukowski) October 21, 1942, he witnesses the beginning of the "so called German displacement of the Jews" (Klukowski) Here Klukowski speaks of the indescribable atrocities he witnesses and hears.

  • 5. Social Effects Of The Holocaust The Holocaust was the persecution and the murder of six million Jews by Hitler, the nazi party and its collaborators. The meaning of the word holocaust is "sacrifice by fire." During the holocaust the government was the Nazi party. The Nazis, who came to power in Germany, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so–called German racial community. Germans thought the Roma's (gypsies), homosexuals, and the disabled people were a threat to the Germans as well. They used these groups as a scapegoat due to the depression after the loss of World War II. Hitlers goal during the final solution aimed to isolate Jews from society and drive them out of the country. (ushmm.org) ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Many of the troops found the massacres to be difficult. Some of the perpetrators suffered physical and mental health problems, and many turned to drink. Himmler realized this during a visit to Minsk in August 1941, Himmler witnessed an Einsatzgruppen mass execution first–hand and saw that shooting Jews was too stressful for his men. The result of this problem was the gas van, a mobile gas, which employed carbon monoxide called Zyklon B from the truck's exhaust to kill victims. Gas vans made their first appearance on the eastern front in late fall 1941. Einsatzgruppen killed about 1.5 million innocent Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and anti– Nazis. ...

  • 6. Why Did Nazi Persecution Of The Jews? History Why did Nazi persecution of the Jews Become more extreme between 1933–1945? When Hitler came into power in January 1933 he set out to implement his ideology which included anti–Semitism and the enforcement of an "Aryan race". There were many reasons that contributed to the persecution becoming more extreme between 1933 and 1945 such as: The Nuremberg Laws, Kristallnacht, little or no opposition, the Wannsee conference and the idea thatGermany should be germanised. The invasion of Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland leading to World War 2 were also the reasons why the Nazis put more extreme measures against theJews in place. To begin with, the Nazis faced relatively little open opposition during their twelve years in power. In private, Germans complained about the regime and its actions. These included refusing to give the Nazi salute, pass on anti–Nazi jokes and rude stories about senior Nazis. Ultimately, this would have made it extremely easy to severely persecute the Jews as there would be few who were able to rebel or stand against their actions. This was made easier, knowing that Hitler 's close enemies and leaders were executed by his elite bodyguard on 30th June 1934 by the event known as "Night of the Long Knives". Source A (OCR, GCSE, Modern world) supports this as it shows soldiers saluting with two hands instead of one, giving the opinion that soldiers were too scared to do anything to oppose him.

  • 7. The Holocaust: The Nuremberg Laws Have you ever wondered what the effects were on the Jews because of the Nuremberg Laws? In other words what rights were taken away from these innocent people? Ever wondered who made these laws just to discriminate Jews? The Nuremberg Laws had a large effect on the Jews, striping Jews from their everyday rights, and specifically segregating the Jews. The effect that the Nuremberg Laws had on the Jews were drastic. Since some laws were put into place, Jews were not considered citizens of Germany. Jews were racially discriminated and were not able to keep their Reich citizenship. In the laws it never stated what a Jew was, so many Jews quit their practices and lived a mainstream life. Some would celebrate Christian holidays or even marry a Christian and convert religions. Then the Nazi parliament made laws that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In one of the laws it stated that if you were not of German blood then you were not a citizen of Germany. There were "citizens" and "subjects". A citizen was a person who was descended from German blood. Then a "subject" was someone with Jewish blood. The laws itself never defined how a person could be a Jew. People became confused about how to classify who were Jews, especially mixed Jews. A law passed called Regulation to the Reich Citizenship Law. In this law a Jew was defined as someone with three or four Jewish grandparents. Also if the person had two full Jewish parents, belonged in the Jewish community, or was married to a Jew, then that person was a Jew. As for mixed Jews the law classified them as someone who was descended from two Jewish grandparents. Another law was that no German girl under the age of forty–five was allowed to be employed in a Jewish house. In section four of the law Jews were banned from raising the German Reich flag, but were allowed to show Jewish colors. All and all these laws were specifically made for Jews so that they could have a miserable ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 9. What Are The Causes Of A Holocaust? The Jews were always a target of the world. Other nations always made them feel less then they were and they always made them think the least of themselves. Jews never did anything to deserve this treatment but things like the holocaust made the world think that the Jews were the blame for the hatred in the world. Jews were lead into sadness, physical abuse, and being emotionally uncomfortable, which made them think their lives were not worth the trauma. Jews were forced into labor, beat to death, burned alive, separated from their families, and so many more traumatizing things that we can never even think to imagine are possible. Living as a Jew was never easy but the Jews always kept strong and always kept their spirit alive and that is why we are here today. Dehumanization lead to sadness, anger, confusion and so many different emotions. The Germans made the Jews feel the most insignificant they can ever feel and would ever feel. They tortured them by burning them alive, splitting them from their families, making them march for long distances, torturing them until death, and so many other things that we can never eve picture to occur in this world. Little kids had to leave their houses and go to live in places like concentration camps, or death camps, and they had to learn to take care of themselves even from a young age.

  • 10. The Holocaust's Effect on the German Jew Essay Adolf Hitler came to power over Germany in January of 1933. He hated Jews and blamed them for everything bad that had ever happened to Germany. Hitler's goal in life was to eliminate the Jewish population. With his rise to power in Germany, he would put into action his plan of elimination. This is not only why German Jews were the main target of the Holocaust, but why they were a large part of the years before, during, and after the Holocaust. Hitler's "final solution" almost eliminated the Jewish population in Europe during World War II.

Even though this was not a violent treatment of the Jews, it was an attempt to bankrupt and dehumanize them of everything they had worked for their whole lives (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). As a result, Jews became a segregated people. They had to ride on buses and trains only in the seat that were clearly marked for them (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). Jewish children were allowed to be bullied at school in an attempt to keep them from coming to school. Hitler used this to brand the Jews as a lazy people (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). The Nuremberg Laws passed in 1935 gave even more power to the Nazis and took away more dignity of the Jews. The Jews were stripped of their German citizenship and marriages between Jews and non–Jews were not allowed (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). At this point, the Jews who could afford to pay a fine to leave the country were allowed to do so, but the ones who could not afford it had to stay behind and were not allowed to get food or medicine (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). Hitler's campaign against the Jews escalated in 1938 with "Krystalnacht" – The Night of the Broken Glass (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2).

  • 11. Anti-Semitic German Propaganda During World War II, anti–Semitic publications circulating throughout Germany display clear evidence of pervading the minds of young German children. Julius Steicher, editor of Der Stumer and the agent responsible for many of the anti–Semitic publications (Mills), helped dramatically initiate the German resistance toward Jews early on in a child's life. It is important to understand the severity of anti–Semitism taught to the future Nazi generation in order to maintain the National Socialist state and further it's agenda. By examining the ideas, and publications aimed towards children that express those ideals, it is clear that the National Socialist state wanted to indoctrinate a hateful, militant agenda into young children. Ultimately, the final result was to maintain the prejudice view that the Jewish people were the inferior race, and therefore the enemy for future generations. One of the chief ways to target young German children with Nazi propaganda was through the school systems. A German educator wrote in The National Socialist Essence of Education, that mathematics was "Aryan spiritual property, an expression of the Nordic fighting spirit, of the Nordic struggle for the supremacy in the world"(Hirsch, 119). Children were given slogans to learn and recite such as: "Judas the Jew betrayed Jesus the German to the Jews" (Mann, 90). Furthermore, by 1937, about 97% of all teachers belonged to the National Socialist Teachers Union (Mills). Established in 1929, the Union ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 13. German Attitudes Toward the Jews and the Final Solution Essay German Attitudes Toward the Jews and the Final Solution There are those that claim that Hitler's conscious personal hatred of the Jews, his unique and central role in the rise of Nazi Germany were fundamental in the development of the anti–Jewish policies that emerged leading to the final solution. However, there is strong evidence to suggest that the anti– Jewish feeling in Germany reflected a much stronger, widespread support amongst its people and this essay will examine the role and attitudes of the German people towards the Final Solution. On the 1st of April, 1933, the boycott of Jewish businesses reflected evidence of widespread anti Jewish feelings amongst the lower bureaucracy of the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The anti Jewish sentiment was already strong in many parts of Germany and whilst anti–Semitism might not have been in the forefront of everyone's mind, it was already a conscious part of everyday life. And in early 1935, a second wave of anti–Jewish agitation followed, once again , following pressure from within the lower party activists within the SA and Hitler Youth. This renewed violence, whilst sanctioned by Hitler, once again proved relatively unpopular amongst the German people and Hitler recognised the need to draw this damaging campaign to a swift conclusion. But at the same time, Hitler did not wish to lose face with his party activists, which led to the Nuremberg Laws of September 1935. The Nuremberg Laws effectively banned the Jews from any citizen rights. The 'Blood Law' or Reich's Citizenship Law banned Jews from marrying Germans, it banned them from sexual relations with Aryans, it banned the Jewish people from displaying the National flag and effectively stripped them of their rights to citizenship. The debate about what defined a Jew tested Hitler in the weeks following the Nuremberg Rally eventually creating the 'mischlinge' category of 1st or 2nd degree half Jews, all of which were subject to less but varying degrees of discrimination. The two years that followed were also relatively quiet as far the Jewish question was concerned ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 14. Hitler: The Most Influential Person In The 21st Century Throughout history Hitler was seen as an iconic figure for his achievements and for his ruthless ideals; such as the holocaust and reforming Germany. Today in the 21st century Hitler is still controversial, as there are memes, arguments and research still being done on him. However despite the majority of people today condemning Hitler on his actions of violating human rights and for attempting genocide on the Jews, what many people fail to realize is Hitler is still the most influential person in the past 600 years because of his charismatic leadership ability, his motives for dictatorship and his ability to gain ones trust. It is evident that Hitler had charismatic leadership ability because he was able to twist his words and manipulate the minds of people. Hitler's leadership skills empowered the morale of the German people with his unique style of speaking to the masses. Hitler's unique style of speaking shook the people of Germany.

Shortly after Adolf Hitler gained power in the Third Reich, he began to implement horrific measures designed to disempower the German Jews from economic and social positions. Life for the Jews became increasingly worse when the onset of WWII came along in 1939. The Germans began to strip the Jews of their lives, and began deporting (or resettling as the public believed) them to the East to Ghettos and later to concentration and extermination camps. At the camps, the Germans either worked the Jews to death or gassed them in massive gas chambers, then destroyed the evidence by burning the copious amounts of bodies at a time in the colossal crematoriums. 
During the six years of the War, there were around 6 million Jews, including 1.5 million children that were murdered by the Nazis, and around two million other "undesirables" also exterminated. Hitlers annihilation of the Jews killed one third of the Jewish world population, and two thirds of the European Jewish population. 1.2 Treatment of the Jews The Jewish people in Germany never were treated with the same respect and kindness as those not of Jewish descent.

Most of the anti–Semitism in Germany was dated back on religious beliefs from over 1000 years before Hitler came into power, secondly the hate for Jews was based on political beliefs. Even though the hate against Jews was not accepted by everyone anti–Semitism was common and provided for an audience for Hitler and his anti–Semitic views.

Unlike the Jews of Eastern Europe, German Jews considered themselves no different from other Germans, but in religion. They were merchants and scholars and professional people who went to the same schools and gathered in the same places as other Germans. And, for their part, the other Germans were used to dealing with Jewish businessmen and having their ailments treated by Jewish doctors. When Hitler came to power he could not expect the masses of ordinary German people to agree to his program of extermination. Instead the Nazis led them to that end by gradual steps. From the day that Hitler took power in January 1933 there were efforts to terrorize Jews and exclude them from German life. As soon as Hitler eliminated his political opposition in Germany and suspended the Weimar Constitution, he and his associates started to build a brick wall between Jews and the other Germans.

There are five main reasons why. Jews were among those blamed by German military officers looking for excuses as to why Germany was defeated in WWI, and thus were linked to the loss of national pride. Jews were seen as bringing down the economy by taking up space and manipulating other Germans into giving the Jews their money to fuel the Jews' inherent greed.

As Jews were generally seen as genetically impure and inferior during this time period, it would be shameful to admit that your country had such people as Jews living in it. Hans Gunther, a respected German professor of anthropology, classified Jews as a racial group as well as a cultural and religious group. This classification made it so Jews were further seen as polluting the German gene pool ("Anti–Semitism in Germany: Historical Background"). With the fascist belief that their country must be "pure," and Hitler's belief that there was a great Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world, there was no place in Nazi Germany for the Jews. Many Germans might consider it a source of pride to help expel/murder the Jews, as they thought they were helping to speed up the natural selection process. Additionally, getting rid of the Jews and other minorities in Germany to leave only the "Master Aryan race" would certainly be something to be proud of for a German during this time.

  • 19. The Anti-Jewish Policy Leading Up To The Holocaust The anti–Jewish policy was one of Hitler's main concerns during his time in power. The evolution of the policies against Jews leading up to the war included three major events: boycotts, the Nuremberg laws, and Kristallnacht. The war was also extremely important in the genocide of Europe's Jewish population as it helped blanket the Holocaust and the "final solution". Boycotting Jewish individuals was the first major step for Nazis in creating a "racially pure" nation by excluding the Jews from the Germans. The Nazis began boycotting the Jews by prohibiting them from holding government offices. Jewish teachers, professors, lawyers, judges, and many other occupations were forbidden from holding their jobs any longer. This action let the Jewish Germans know that they were no longer welcome in German society and lead to "voluntary" emigration. The Nazis created many harsh laws for the Jews and in response the U.S. citizens protested Nazi policies and called for an international boycott of German goods. This led to the Nazis beginning the boycott against Jewish owned businesses (Epstein 84). The Nazis called all Germans to boycott Jewish businesses and avoid shopping at any business that was not German owned. This did not go as planned for the Nazis. Many Germans had formed close relations with the Jewish business owners and trusted their business. Also, many German farmers worked with Jewish business owners to sell their crops.

Nor were the Jews given a opportunity to change or correct their customs. The Nazis did not want the Jews to inner mix with Germans so they created a law.

Additionally, taking Jewish education affected their level of intelligence since they weren't able to learn as much as the other German children that were given the right of having an education. Another major thing that Germans did to Jewish students was that they examined them in schools to see if they belonged to the true 'Aryan race,' the Germans had "measured their skull size and nose length, and recorded their pupils' hair and eyes" (Nazi racism). This examination in the schools embarrassed and humiliated those who did not fit the standards of the Aryan race, which is blonde, blue–eyed and tall.

  • 35. The Holocaust And The Holocaust The Holocaust was a genocide which lasted from 1942 to 1945 in which around 6 million European Jewish people were killed. It was the result of the Ideals of the past chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler. Hitler came to power in 1933 by capitalising on worldwide events such as the great depression in 1929 resulting from the Wall Street crash. He began spreading his ideas of anti–Semitism to the German population in preparation for the 'Final Solution' with the assistance of distribution methods like propaganda, violence, and an economic boycott. Most of the impacts resulting from his methods proved to be extremely valuable to the success of the preparation as they efficiently and effectively carved a hateful image of the Jewish population into the minds of the German people and aligned them with Hitler's ideas of anti–Semitism. However, some of his methods were not valuable to prepare the German people as they were not able to depict a strong enough bias against the Jews. Propaganda was arguably one of the most effective ways for ideas to be spread around rapidly, this was shown in Hitler's autobiography, Mien Kampf, in which he states: "Propaganda tries to force a doctrine on the whole people..... Propaganda works on the general public from the standpoint of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea." It shows that Hitler understood the effectiveness of propaganda and utilised it to spread his anti–Semitist ideas towards the German people to create a negative image of the Jewish population. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Webpage states that the Nazi propagandists "exploited pre–existing images and stereotypes, and portrayed Jews as an "alien race" that fed off the host nation, poisoned its culture, seized its economy, and enslaved its workers and farmers." This hateful depiction of the Jewish people was enough to create fire in the minds of the German population and drove them into an anti–Semitic frenzy, resulting in the German people expressing their rage against the Jews through violent means. The impact on the German people that was created by the slanderous depictions of Jews was extremely valuable to prepare them for the Holocaust, as the hatred for the Jews was so deeply ...

The holocaust lasted from about 1939–1945. In that time frame, jews were forced to wear stars that labeled them as jews, lived in ghettos, and did labor. Many tried to escape this way of living but ended up being killed. During the Holocaust, Jews used armed, spiritual and unarmed forms of resistance in order to retain their humanity. Jewish armed resistance started around 1943, the Jews fought against the germans while in the ghettos. The Jews Retallied back on Germans when they were stripped of their human rights and everything was taking from them. "As a desperate effort, after it became clear to those who resisted that the Nazis had murdered most of their families and their coreligionists"(Armed Jewish).

  • 37. How The Re Education Problem Of Germany Much More Than... The re–education problem is related to Germany much more than other Axis countries, which they are considered as the victims as a result of their alliance with Germans. Since Jews were the exposure to violence by the Nazi practice or education, discussed later, the United Nations supported and assisted the Jews and considered the Germans as the murders. It is not known whether Hungary and Rumania were part of that nations or not, but they can claim that the Nazi doctrine was something strange to them and was forced on them by the fear of the foreign nation force. Germany, however, has no way of using this excuse to reject the Nazi, but they are able to show their rejection because of Nazi atrocity. In addition, even if we narrow the subject to concern Germany only, it will still be, as Strauss said, "an iffy question" because we have to assume that the war will end by winning, and the large parts of Germany are not invaded by the Red Army. Also, the Anglo –Saxon–Russian cooperation should across the cessation of the hostility. Moreover, the re–education of Germany concerning the Jews in particular is the hardest part of the re–education of Germany in the general form. Also, when it is said "re–education", it gives as a hint that the bad education which is in practice should be replaced by a new good education, and it is under political consideration. The Nazi diplomacy, Nazi rearmament and arms educated Germans. Germans, however, were guided to their actions by implication of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 38. The Between Nazis And The German Jews Whether it is turning off one's alarm and getting off of one's bed, making breakfast, taking the bus to school, tying one's shoes, or sitting down in the same room for the same class at the same time, all of these are examples of rituals in day–to–day life. Different people have different interpretations of what the word 'ritual' exactly means. A particular film, the likes of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas conveys many of these meanings; analyzing the characters in this story, more specifically the contrast between the Nazis and the German Jews, their personality can be sufficiently explained via Malory Nye's theory regarding symbolism in ritual, Emile Durkheim's idea of ritual as being a society–based action, Harvey Whitehouse's thought about the relationship between ritual and memory, and Nye's perception of ritual as being a means of attaining power. Pulling these theories together, the message in this film becomes, as commonly stated: what comes around goes around, and as such, regardless of another person's belief, one should not discriminate against that person based on their beliefs and values. Throughout the film, it is the Jewish Germans who are dressed with the striped pyjamas in the movie of discussion. And with deliberate reason. As such, it is not surprising that Nye has developed a theory of ritual which he labels as being "a symbolist approach to religion and ritual" . Delving deeper, what Nye tries to argue is that "the importance and significance of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Between 1941 and 1944, the Germans deported millions of the Jews from Germany to killing centers also called "extermination camps", where they were killed in the gassing chambers.
