The Consequences Of The Jews In Nazi Germany

Superior Essays
On April 22, 1981 President Ronald Reagan made a statement in his proclamation, “ Like the genocide of the Armenians before it, and the genocide of the Cambodians which followed it, . . . the lessons of the Holocaust must never be forgotten (Reagan).” As a matter of fact it should never be forgotten, no genocide should be taken lightly. It takes a horrible, disgusting, and soulless person to carry out such mass extinction of an ethnic group or nation. Considering there were many genocides that took place in the nineteenth-century, the most known is the Jews in Nazi Germany. However many other people experienced genocide such as Armenia, Kosovo, Sudan, and Cambodia. Over six million Jews and one hundred thousand people died during the Bosnian …show more content…
The war left the Germans Empire destroyed and therefore the reason for turning over of the old parliament over to a new one called the Weimar Republic. In this new republic, President Paul von Hindenburg of the Nazi party, elected Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933 with the idea that he could make Germany better again. According to Hitler he felt that the Jewish people should be held accountable for all of Germany 's ills. Hitler made it his plan to take every Jew out of Germany and doing so he set up camps where all of them could potentially go to for imprisonment called concentration camps. At the concentration camps jewish men, women,and children worked hard labor and awaited execution. Not to mention the fact that Hitler step up a ‘secret police’ called the Gestapo. The Gestapo raided houses and put many shops and businesses out because of being jewish or being Jewish and owning a business. Meanwhile all of this was going on, one would think how could the people of Germany, let something of this measure happen? In order for Hitler to manipulate the people into thinking what he was doing was something he was not, he didn’t use the word ‘extermination’. Instead he used a tactic called brainwashing, Hitler was many things but the best thing he …show more content…
After World War I Nazi, Germany simply needed to blame a certain person for the failure of the empire and in this case it was the Jews. Furthermore to try to brainwash the people of Germany into thinking the Jewish people were the reason for all of Germany 's lack of successes he spread hate about them.

    Hitler and his Nazi soldiers terrified the citizens that of Berlin, Germany, and the towns around it. They wanted to rid the world of the Jewish people. It was a scary time to be a Jew, or to be alive in Germany. I have done plenty of research in the library, on Amazon Books and YouTube; and using internet sources to learn plenty of information about this subject. The effect Hitler’s Nazi regime made on Germany has been everlasting. It will forever haunt the people of Germany. In my opinion, and based on what I have read it has left a rather more devastating impact on the people of Berlin and the people that live in close by towns. They live in what could have easily been concentration camps where…

    The Holocaust was a time of pure evil and grief. From when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, lasting to the day the war ended in 1945, the Jewish population was taken from their homes, put to work, and faced with shocking living conditions. One of Hitler’s goals was to racially cleanse the society of Germany and areas in Poland to become a complete Aryan race. In 1933 the first concentration camp was established. These camps were used as either work camps, transit camps, or killing camps. Jews were forced to overcome absurd emotional and physical obstacles, and many were killed. Out of the approximate ten million Jews alive before the Holocaust, only about four million survived. In 1945, Anglo-Americans and the Soviets discovered…

    Hitler and his Nazi regime used effective tactics to dehumanize and degrade the Jewish people, and reduced them to nothing but small beings that they could then rid themselves of. Some of these tactics were small, and some of the tactics were large. No matter the size, all of these tactics were completely inhumane and horrifying. Sadly, they also all took place in the book Night, by Elie Wiesel. His memoir can attest to how dehumanization occurred, and how it helped Hitler achieve his goal; The Final Solution. In this essay I will explain how Hitler used dehumanizing tactics such as identifying inmates with numbers, becoming physically abusive towards the Jews, and ridding them…

    The horrible events that took place during the Holocaust are hard to match. Some may say that it is the worst genocide in human history. But there is one thing that we can all agree on: the Holocaust definitely wasn 't the first genocide. Similar techniques and prejudices can be found in history before the Holocaust. These can be found most notably in the Armenian Genocide. The intentions, methods, and denial of both Genocides are very similar.…

    The Holocaust was a tragic event that took the lives of 11 millions Jews, homosexuals, disabled people and gypsies. Although a majority of the Jews killed during the Holocaust came from Germany, a good portion also came from other European countries including Poland, France, Austria and the Netherlands. The appointment of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany in 1933 began the twelve-year period of torment for Jewish people who lived in Europe. There are many factors that led up to the Holocaust, with a big part stemming from Germany 's loss of World War I and the lack of leadership that followed. The combination of a very unstable government and citizens eager for a leader made it easy for Hitler to come in and take control over the country.…

    World War II was a global war that changed many people around the world. It took place from 1939-1945. The countries that were involved were two groups of military alliances; the Allies and the Axis. The Allies were the United States, Britain, and France while the Axis powers were Germany, Italy and Japan. One of the main events that happened during WWII was the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the murder of six million European Jews by the Nazi Party. The Nazi Regime believed that they were racially superior and wanted an Aryan race. That meant they had to get “rid” of the people that were inferior of the Germans. The leader that came to power was Adolf Hitler. Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany’s economic problems and for the lose of the war. He did not use any other excuse except the Jews. The Germans also blamed the Jews for all of their problems. I believe that everyone should learn about the reasons that led up to the Holocaust in order to ensure that these horrible, unforgivable actions never occur again. The events leading up to the Holocaust were acts of injustice and inequality.…

    What is a genocide- "a deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation." What is a holocaust- "a destruction or slaughter on a mass scale." Within this paper I will be comparing how these two horrific events are alike and different. The Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust were similar to each other with the same leadership that was hungry for power and control, both aggressors wanted full authority of their countries and one pure race, and the vicious treatment and manner of extermination towards the innocent people was the same.…

    To begin with, the Nazi party came into power of the German government in January, 1933. Over multiple years, Hitler manipulated the German citizens into believing that he would be followed unrivaled and that he was a superior being. In “The introduction to the Holocaust”, it states that “The Nazis believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community.” So, when he gained complete control and worked his way into a dictatorship, Hitler then decided to do something about the jewish population since he would not be questioned by the citizens of Germany. While he targeted the jewish people, he also aimed hate toward Roma (Gypsies), the disabled, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and…

    The Nazi party came to power in Germany in 1933 and believed that Jews, and many other racial groups including Roma people, the mentally disabled, and homosexuals were all inferior or substandard, and these groups were methodically mistreated by the Nazis. However, from 1941 to 1945 the Jewish people were murdered in enormous numbers in what has become known as the Holocaust. Genocide is the killing of a large group of people, but particularly those of an exact ethnic group, religion or nation. Importantly though, the term genocide did not exist before 1944 and it used now to refer to violent crimes committed against groups with the intent to destroy the group’s entire existence. The genocide was carried out in many phases with the ultimate goal of killing all of the Jews in…

    Millions of Jews and non-Jews were lulled into a false sense of security when they were told they would be taken to camps that had better working conditions. They were manipulated to the point where they no longer had a voice. Slowly, Hitler’s true intentions started to show. It all began with the manner in which they were transported to the camps. Trains were packed with hundreds of people to the extent that many had limited movement and it was difficult to breathe. The ghettos and factors were not an improvement. People were chosen for either enslavement or execution behind the closed gates of the ghettos. Death Marches or gas showers were used in mass genocides. Mothers, fathers, children; no matter which race or gender they were, if they happened not to be the German ideal or if they opposed to the Nazi regime, they gradually were stripped the rights of being a citizen of the German country. These people involuntarily lived under these conditions for nearly 12 years. The period from January 30, 1993, when Adolf…

    Hitler and the Nazi party despised the Jews and blamed them for all their problems. Hitler then took Jews, communists, and homosexuals to concentration camps around Germany with little food and water. Then if any of them were weak or disabled and said they were "dirty" and they needed a "shower". The "showers" were gas chambers that killed the people as they tried to escape the chambers.

    European Jews were treated terribly by Nazi Germany during WWII. They were faced with horrific circumstances and inevitable fates. Jews were dehumanised and treated as if they were a threat to Germany and if they were not disposed of, their supposedly evil and nefarious mannerisms would, ironically, soon destroy Germany as a race.…
