Essay on Genocide in Germany
Genocide in Germany
Beginning in the early 1930's, officials in Germany saw that they could put the blame of their
troubles onto the Jews. After the First World War, the German public was extremely angry with the
government officials, especially because of the aftermath of the war. The German economy tumbled
to a point that children could use blocks of German Marks as building blocks, French from right
across the border could get pastries and other goods in Germany for less than an eighth the price of
the same goods in France. Added onto that was the fact that Germany owed many war debts to the
Allies. Adolf Hitler, a man who fought in World War I, saw that he could use this hatred to his...show

Due to America's own depression, many American's felt resentment toward the Jews also. The
papers only talked about oppression towards Jews and the beatings, something that was occurring in
the U.S. in smaller numbers than in Germany. The information given to the American public wasn't
enough to make them care too much, and due to their own problems Americans didn't feel the need
to go looking for information that might have been readily available.
Many Americans, because of the depression during the early 1930's, had long hated the Jews. In
America during the depression, like Germany, many people saw Jews as a people who succeeded
in anything and for that they hated them. Jews have been known throughout history as great
businessmen. When Americans read that Jews were kicked out of their businesses in Germany,
Americans secretly enjoyed hearing news like this; it meant that not only was the depression
hurting them, but also Jews who were known for their success during the depression were now in
the same boat as the rest of the country. A 1933 London Times article reputed "In a public appeal
dated Nuremberg, April 7, a group of Nazi physicians and lawyers in Bavaria favored the complete
elimination of Jews from all the liberal professions."[2] When one is feeling down about their life,

Genocide Genocide
History
Genocide is a term that can be defined as a planned and systematic destruction of whole or parts of
certain national, religious, race, ethnic, cultural or political group (Akhavan 21). Genocide is
deliberated with a different set of actions for a purpose to destroy an essential foundation of life.
Genocide is characterized with the massive killing of members of a group, causing mental or bodily
injuries to a group of people, imposing mechanisms to prevent birth, removing particular group
children and putting conditions of life in order to bring to an end existence of a particular group.
Therefore, genocide is an illegal action and a crime recognized and punishable by international law
(Charmy 35). For instance, Rwanda genocide is characterized by ethnic tensions within the country.
Initially the definition of the term genocide as by genocide convection only comprised of racial,
ethnic, national and religious groups. They argued that inclusion of other groups cannot strengthen
but rather weakens it. This definition failed to recognize other groups such as political groups,
economic and cultural groups that are essential elements of genocide. Genocide therefore, is
generally considered the worst moral crime the ruling authority can commit against those it controls
Naimark (2017).
Inclusion of Other Groups
Initially, the term genocide covered national, racial, ethnic and religious groups as the only groups
protected by genocide convention (Naimark 41). However, many

Genocide In Germany
Genocide has been classified by the United Nations as:
Any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical,
racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental
harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to
bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births
within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group (Nagdy).
Many people believe that genocide is not a common occurrence, and are educated on only a few of
the substantial genocides, but they are terribly wrong. "Since the end of the Holocaust in 1945, over

When Pol Pot took hold of the Cambodian government, he planned to kill off everyone who didn't
meet the requirements for his communist civilization. He believed that all citizens should be
hard–working, uneducated peasants who were loyal to the government. "Pol Pot declared the
year zero and began to "purify" society. In support of an extreme form of peasant communism,
western influences such as capitalism and city life were expelled. Religion and all foreigners
were to be extinguished" (Amendola). Pol Pot considered cities and citizens who lived in them to
be the center of capitalism, and therefore determined that they had to be eliminated. He began
mass killings of what he believed was left of the "old society," which included educated and
wealthy citizens. Pol Pot attempted to murder anyone in his way of a "perfect society," including
people of the same ethnic and religious group. Instead of wanting a hard working and uneducated
population like Pol Pot, Hitler's "perfect society" was an Aryan race of people that he believed were
superior to all

genocide Essay
Genocide is an extremely broad subject with various different definitions. Genocide could be one or
more leaders trying to get rid of a large group of people by killings or attacks, or it can be against a
smaller group of people in a less violent manner. Genocide has been a very extreme problem in
society and various reports of genocidal events have been recorded in history, but how does one go
about finding the precise and accurate definition of a "genocide"? Genocidal acts are placed into
different categories and are defined in different degrees. The Commission on Human Rights has set
up seven treaties that describe acts of genocide. Regardless of committees' attempts to limit or
abolish acts of genocide, genocide was a very important...show more content...
Once they have the items deemed necessary, it is more likely for these acts to become more violent
and more destructive, depending on the amount of items palpable. This being said, weapons being
more prevalent in the twentieth century have lead to an increase of genocidal acts in society.
Genocide is an important human rights issue. When a person or persons take it into their hands to
violate someone's given rights, it should be considered an act punishable. For people to understand
the severity of their actions, their actions must have serious consequences. These consequences
must be so extreme to the relevance to the act punishable that those who are planning on partaking
in a similar act are made well aware of the possible punishments. If people are better educated on
the subject of genocide, the reports of genocidal cases might decrease, making genocide a less
extreme problem not only in the United States, but the entire world.
The world organization that concerns itself with issues parallel to genocide is the Commission on
Human Rights. It is the commission's duty to meet once a genocidal act occurred and was reported.
Then the commission must develop different ways to mend the problem at task in a fair and just
way. By doing so, the commission helps to fix this human right's issue with the seven treaties.

Genocide Essay
Genocide, the deliberate killing of a large group, especially those of a particular ethnic group or
nation. Genocides have been happening for more than a century, the first genocide being the
attempted annihilation of the Herero by the Germans in South West Africa from 1904 to 1907. Since
then at least thirty genocides have happened since accounting for 4,000 deaths at the least, to
17,000,000 million deaths at the highest (List of Genocides). The second known genocide was
carried out by the Turks against the Armenians in Turkey 1915. The Armenian Genocide was a
result of hatred, and fear of losing power by the Turks, resulting in the lives of millions of innocent
people. The Armenian Genocide was carried out by the new government called...show more content...
If they weren't sent on death marches the turks would tortured the innocent Armenians in any other
way imaginable. According to an article written by CNN it is reported that the victims were killed
by "mass burnings. drowning, torture, gas, poison, disease and starvation. Children were reported
to have been loaded into boats, taken out to sea and thrown overboard. Rape, too, was frequently
reported" (Melvin). But that wasn't the only way there are also pictures of Ottoman soldiers posing
with severed heads and according to a website called armenian–genocide.org much of the armenian
population was sent to the syrian desert to die of thirst and hunger (Melvin). The young turks
wanted any trace of the armenians demolished. The Armenian Republic was crying for help from
the allied forces, which included Great Britain, France, and Soviet Union, but the forces did little to
help them. The one thing the forces did was give a warning to Turkey saying "the Allied
governments announce publicly that they will hold all the members of the Ottoman Government, as
well as such of their agents as are implicated, personally responsible for such matters" (The
Armenian Genocide). The warning had no effect. The Armenians were left for dead. So one of the
first genocides in history was in full effect. Although there is many examples to prove the Armenian
Genocide actually happened, "Turkish government has denied
