The Importance Of Hitler's Nuremberg Laws

Superior Essays
Ever since the end of the Great War, Germany has been slowly undermining the Versailles treaty set by the allies. Recent reports from newspapers and witness have shown that the newly elected Nazi Party have been radically implementing reforms. These reforms demonstrate an imminent idea of aggressions that may threaten the United States of America. Hitler has been introducing ideas of racial superiority in the passage of the Nuremberg’s laws. Along with the Nuremberg laws, the Nazis has also been slowly rearming their military that clearly violate the terms of The Treaty of Versailles. Germany is undergoing a detrimental transformation under Hitler thus the United States must take fast action so that further corruption can be stopped. …show more content…
Foreign intervention would be a catalyst for the dissidents to speak given most of them are censored by the Nazis. There are many Germans who truly don’t believe in Hitler’s Nuremberg Laws, but the society is already too controlled for the citizens to do anything. Citizens like Albert Speer and Leni Riefenstahl have pointed out that the Germans viewed Hitler’s racial policy as campaign rhetoric until the passage of the Nuremberg Laws. Instances where Germans feel intimidated by gestapo can be seen in Sebastian Haffner confrontation with the Nazis. Haffner and his girlfriend Charlie were daunted at the festival when his gestapo reluctantly allows Haffner to leave since he was not a Jew. Many Germans were scared of the reports of citizens who opposed the Nazis being shot or kidnapped. The Hitler Youth have also been infamously wreaking havoc among minorities. This fear of Nazis also is shown in the Hitler Youth. The “Nazi Hooligans” have been terrorizing minorities such as Protestants and continuing to deter resistance against Hitler . The Hitler Youth also majorly don’t face consequence since the judges have already been chose by the Nazis. American intervention is vital since it can give the Germans hope that the United States will provide protection for people that oppose the Nazi regime. American should also request Germany to adapt a more equal law system given the inequality in the judicial system. Traces of Nazi dissidents can be seen throughout Germany but they lack the support of allies and most times drop their opposition since they fear for their lives. The 1933 Jewish boycotts is an example that shows resistance from the Germans, because this is one of the few times the Germans disobeyed Hitler’s orders and believed in their own ideals. Even though the Jewish boycotts were stopped one day after its release, the United

    Many Jews abstained from participating out of fear that the boycott would anger Hitler and worsen conditions for their fellow Jews still living in Germany. Because of this, Christian Americans were more willing to boycott German goods than German-American Jews were. Untermyer was outraged by the lack of support by American Jews for the boycott, and he characterized Hitler’s treatment of Jews as a “cruel campaign of extermination” while rebuking Jewish leaders who opposed the boycott without offering any alternative methods of resistance. While the boycott was effective enough to capture the attention of both American and German officials, it fizzled out in 1938 when Untermyer fell into ill…

    The Treaty of Versailles may have been written in an effort to stop World War I and bring peace between the opposing countries, but it 's outcome was much more harmful. Most facts show and support that the Treaty of Versailles failed in many ways, which therefore lead to World War I. Some facts that help me prove my point include, the treaty highly offended Germany causing them to want revenge, the treaty diminished Germany 's economy, and the treaty affected Germany 's military.

    The people in the program didn’t look at it as meaningless killing of innocents and more like a cleansing.“The program was one of many radical eugenic measures which aimed to restore the racial "integrity" of the German nation,” (“Euthanasia Program”). Officials of the Program didn’t think that they were even good enough to be it their society. “The official conclusion of the T4 Program in 1941 also coincided with the escalation of the Holocaust, the culmination of Nazi programs to eliminate those deemed an embarrassment to the "master race",” (Berenbaum). The nazis would continue to mock and hate of the patients so they wouldn’t want to stand up to what the T4 Program really was.

    Throughout the 1930s, many political leaders in both Britain and France came to see that the terms of the Treaty of Versailles had placed restraints on Germany that were cruel. Hitler’s behavior were seen as understandable and reasonable. Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of Britain, felt that giving in to Hitler’s request would prevent another war. Eventually, the most memorable example of appeasement was the Munich Agreement. Sooner or later, Hitler invades the rest of Czechoslovakia, breaking the terms of the Munich Agreement much like the Treaty of Versailles and that the appeasement had failed.…

Violence and persecution toward the Jews had begun in Germany before the Holocaust had begun particularly with the pogroms that began after the annexation of Austria (13).

    Roles Influencing German People There are many aspects believed to push the German people’s participation in the genocide and murders; however, the roles of racism, German economy, national pride, peer pressure, and physiological conditioning play the largest roles in the German people’s participation in or indifference towards the state sponsored genocide and murders. Racism has influenced many things throughout history, but those events can not compare to its influence throughout the nazification process.

Germans were not happy with the treaty’s implications, and civil disputes broke out; “During the recent street fighting between Government troops and Spartacists, nearly every form of slaughter devised by the Germans against the Allies … was used with terrible effect” (“NEMESIS OVERTAKES BERLIN”). Germany was ruthless in their pursuits not only in war, but also within the country itself. People clung to the possibility that Adolf Hitler was going to be their savior and was going to guide them into a righteous position. As said by Erna Kranz, a teenager in the 1930s in Germany, to show the mass support of Hitler: “When the masses were shouting ‘Heil,’ what could the individual person do?…
