To start with, speech was used first on the Ladder of Prejudice. Everyone began to despise the Jews, mainly after Hitler stated that he began to hate them. He wrote in his autobiography that he became an anti-semite. Hitler came to the conclusion that “Its final objective must unswervingly be the removal of the Jews altogether” (Byers 13-14).
The Nuremberg Laws made in 1935 said that if one has three Jewish grandparents or two Jewish grandparents who followed Jewish faith, they were considered Jewish, even if he or she didn’t follow the faith themselves. They believed it was ancestry that made people Jewish.

New laws were made and anyone who endangered state security was sent to a concentration camp (Byers 22).

Murder operations began in December of 1941 and continued until January of 1945. Most were taken from the ghettos and sent to the camp. When they first arrived, the prisoners were undressed, stripped of belongings, and tricked into boarding a van that was actually connected to its interior. The van would drive toward a designated burial place in the forest. No one survived after getting into the van. By using three vans, 300,000 Jews were killed and only three prisoners survived the whole camp. They also sent some Jews directly to permanent gas chambers. Carbon monoxide from large tank engines was released into sealed chambers where they died of suffocation within minutes. The corpses were removed by laborers and thrown into big pits where they were later burned to erase all evidence. The Nazis purpose was to carry out the systematic murder of Jews as part of the final solution (“The
