Governmental Actions Based On Ideologies During The 1930s And 1950s

The Jewish race is now known as a corrupt, thieving people, and makes us the public enemy. Goebbels is the cause of all of this, as the establishment of the Reich Chamber of Commerce in 1933 was started because of him. Importantly, he controls our freedom; something that was taken away from us in all forms. A product of this propaganda is the vile education system that Hitler has enforced. Education is an accomplice in destroying what is left of the opposition against the Nazis. The Nazis are aware that if they were able to cultivate and poison our youth, they would grow to become a race of obedient slaves, listening to Hitler as if his words came from God. History was reworked – the power of Germany was the only thing depicted. The German defeat in 1918 was blamed on us, the Treaty of Versailles a jealous work of Germany’s power, and the collapsing economy was apparently the fault of the Jews. Biology is now racist, and ‘proves’ why the Germans are the superior race. Another way these pigs are controlling us is simply by the use of fear. No one dears to stand against the Sturmabteilung, due to what they

First of all, the Nazis used false information about Jewish people and utilized negative Jewish stereotypes to legitimize the horrific acts of violence during the Final Solution. The Nazis were evil towards the Jews. Movies, newspapers, and posters were only some of the ways anti-semitic messages were thrown out into the public. A newspaper called Der Sturmer pumped out stories devoted to showing Germans how dirty Jews were (Marcovitz 15). Things like “Jews are immoral, indecent, dishonest, ugly, fat, not human, cannibalistic”, and “Jews eat their children and drink their blood”, were common headlines (Marcovitz 15). Jews were not humans. They were on the same level as bugs and needed to be exterminated from Germany and all of Eastern Europe. Also, stereotypes from 100’s of years ago were still alive and well. Jews were tax collectors a long time ago, and some people still hated them for it. Some people could not let go of old derogatory lies and the Nazis loved this. Hate towards the Jews was stronger than kindness and the Nazis fed off of this. If people saw the propaganda and the heard old stereotypes, then maybe they would hop on board with the Nazis.

The Nuremberg Laws were set in 1935. The purpose of these laws was to take the citizenship of Jews away. These laws also separated everyone in Germany into three different categories Jewish,part Jewish, or Aryan (Rice ,Pg. 38). Half a year later a message was sent all across Germany and across the world Hitler sent an elite task force called the stormtroopers into the Jew filled town and had all Jewish business wrecked and this caused uproars. To be exact there

The Nuremberg laws were designed to keep Jews from doing the same activities as the Germans. They went into depth about what a jew was not allowed to do. They were unfair and prevented the Jews from living the life they lived before. “…the Nuremberg Laws had been passed, laws designed to “protect” German blood and honour (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) Those laws took away citizenship from all Jews and their right to vote.”, (Matas, 14) Through this quote, Matas makes a direct reference to

According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum “the Nuremberg Laws define a "Jew" as someone with three or four Jewish grandparents” (2017). These two laws excluded the Jews from German life and deprived them from their rights. These rights included the right to citizenship and prohibiting marriages between Germans and Jews. Jews in German society had been subjected to prejudices and discrimination. Discriminatory legislation that restricted Jews from a standard life.

    Even at the local level jews were greatly targeted by the propaganda put up by the nazis. The nazis ordered “all villages in the district to build large anti-jewish signs.”(Hill, 98) Even some Jewish children couldn’t go to school because they weren’t welcome there. The nazis had a specific way they wanted hate spread out on paper. Posters had to be “30ft by 5ft. The word Jew shall be underlined in red and must be conspicuous. When possible the poster is to be framed with a black margin.”(Hill, 98, 99) “These Jewish poles lost everything: jobs, schools, property, land, and money.”(Haugen, 17)

The Nuremberg laws is a great foreshadowing of the devastation the German Leadership enacted through the German Army caused on “inferior minority groups” during 1939 and 1945. The Nuremberg laws that were created by the Nazi Party were created to preserve and continue their idea of the superior race of German Blood. The Nuremberg laws excluded German Jews from Reich citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of "German or German-related

By forming the country’s common enemy, the Nazi Government were able to attain influence by uniting, emotionally, its people against the Jews. They used Jews as a scapegoat by directly ushering blame onto the Jewish citizens in the country, and deliberately bringing back to life old anti-Semitic prejudices. This developed the cultural attitude that Jews were accountable for all issues within Germany, and that in order to create a racial identity, the country needed liberation from the racially impure Jews. As Paul Bartrop, Professor of History at Florida Gulf Coast University, stated the German population was told that “Jews dominate[d] economic and cultural life, that they [were] responsible for many of the world’s evils” (https://books.google.com.au/books?id=RAtvBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA73&dq=cultural+attitude+that+Jews+were+accountable+for+all+issues+within+Germany&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjyruGYysvTAhUBm5QKHepnDlkQ6AEIQTAG#v=onepage&q=they%20are%20responsible&f=false).

From 1939 to 1945 the world saw actions and atrocities unparalleled in the War against Germany, the legacies of such actions we are still seeing today. Perhaps the most notable atrocity that was born from this war was the persecution of Jewish people in Germany and around Europe and the corresponding murder of up to 6 million Jewish people . “When Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist party seized power on January 30, 1933, there were approximately 525,000 Jewish people living in Germany, less than one percent of the population.” Throughout the years leading up to the official start of World War Two the Jewish people were treated harshly and condemned for no other reason than the fact that they were Jewish, in 1935 the Nuremberg laws furthered this condemnation by defining “what it meant to be a Jew, deprived Jews of German citizenship and legally prohibited them from a variety of occupations.” Families were split apart and many families fled as far as they could have from the horrors of a country they once called home. Hitler’s view of the Jewish people is highlighted in his publication Mein Kampf :

Cause: The Nuremberg Laws Were antisemitic laws in Nazi Germany.” Was introduced on 15 September 1935 by the Reichstag by Nazi Party. The two laws were the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour, which forbade marriages and extramarital intercourse between Jews and Germans and the employment of German females under 45 in Jewish households, and the Reich Citizenship Law, which declared that

There was a deep seated belief in Germany that the Jews, along with the Bolsheviks, had sabotaged Germany in the first world war, thus making Germany especially eager to prove their power in another war. As Hitler was gaining power, he designed propaganda, rallies, and indoctrination in order to inspire people toward both anti-semitism (discussed later) and desire for war.

The time that Hitler was gaining all of his power, Germany was in a very fragile state due to the depression it was suffering from.7 Adolf Hitler led Germany to believe that the Jews were a threat to the German race. He was under the impression that Germany and eventually the world should compose of one homogenous race, therefore any anyone that differs should be eliminated.8 The fact that it wasn’t only one individual with this view is astonishing, but the power the Nazis and Hitler had is what got all the support into thinking this way. When thinking about Germany and how they treated the situation, it is hard not to think what would have happened if the people of Germany stood up against the Nazis when they began to make

Firstly, when Adolf Hitler came into power in Germany on May 8th 1945, one of his main goals was to purify the German race. He believed that all races were inferior to the German race. As a result, the Jewish people of Europe suffered severe persecution which eventually led to them being murdered. Hitler spread propaganda all throughout Germany, which cause the German people to hate the Jews. He made them believe that the Jewish people were the cause of all the problems in Germany. As a result, Hitler instilled fear in the German

On September 15th 1935, during an annual rally, Hitler released The Nuremberg Laws which consisted of two policies which were purposefully enforced to exclude Jews from German life. There were two major policies which were enforced where, “The Law of the Reich Citizen” and “The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour”. Each law was designed to effect German Jews in a certain way which were all a part of the anti-semitic Nazi regime’s plan. The first law being “The Law of the Reich Citizen” was designed to deprive Jews of their German citizenship, a secondary source outlines the effects of this law, “the one denied them civil rights and even German citizenships, despite the fact that many German Jews had ancestors in Germany going back centuries.” The Law of the Reich Citizen was particularly designed to exclude Jews from Germans, almost as if to label them as a threat and outsiders, stripping away their value as humans.

Before WWII and even WWI, Jews had always been persecuted and looked down upon before these two horrific wars. The hatred towards the Jewish population was not new, yet it became more acceptable to be anti-Semitic as the propaganda and the political groups sprouted up throughout the nation, and blamed many Jewish people for Germany’s financial woes. This racial discrimination took moral and ethical barriers down throughout Germany, as harassment of the Jewish populace became more intense throughout the 1930’s, culminating with Kristallnacht, where many Jews were killed and persecuted, and Jewish businesses were burned. “In 1938 Nazi anti-Semitism reached a radical stage…the clearest sign of treatment of Jews of Europe would face within a few years occurred in the fall of 1938…thousands of Jewish businesses; thousands of Jews were beaten in the streets and in their homes and about one hundred were murdered…some synagogues were destroyed, and several thousand Jews were sent to concentration camps.”[4] These events led down a slippery slope toward the final solution. The Nazi party perpetuated this hatred, and often took part in the events. The Kristallnacht marked the beginning of the Nazi policy of detaining Jewish people, based solely upon their ethnicity. Hitler had authorized these events, and was finally realizing his long-lived plan of racial purity within German and Austria. There were also a social precondition against the Jews before the two wars and this prominent
