Kristallnacht: Final Solution To The Holocaust

Kristallnacht was an incident where Nazi’s in Germany torched and destroyed Jewish synagogues, homes, businesses, shops and schools. The two secondary sources that I will be analysing are ‘What Was Kristallnacht?’ from Holocaust-History and ‘Kristallnacht’ from Britannica. The two Primary sources I will be analysing are photographs I found on History Place and propaganda pieces from Holocaust Research Project. The three historical ideas of the Nazi’s plan for the final solution was fuelled by anti-Semitism

otherwise known as anti-Semitism is an ancient hatred that continued to develop and intensify over the course of two thousand years (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, June 2014). The foundation of anti-Semitism was solidified by Christian declarations that attributed Jewish adherents with responsibility for the crucifixion of Jesus (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, June 2014). Stereotypes and persecution quickly progressed, with the dispersal of Jews throughout European society regarded

The Holocaust was the planned murder of the Jews and other groups who were believed to be ‘inferior’ to the ‘Aryan’ race. The Holocaust took place from 1933 to just past the end of the war in 1945. Its aim was the complete extermination or genocide of the Jewish people in Europe. The Holocaust happened under the command of Adolf Hitler, NAZI party leader, Chancellor of Germany 1933 – 1945 and Fuhrer of Germany 1934 – 1945. The NAZI party came to meaningful power in 1933 after the Great Depression

The Tragedy of Kristallnacht Kristallnacht was a very tragic night during the Holocaust. Nothing was ever the same between the millions of Jews getting killed, their homes getting destroyed, and their race being slowly eradicated by Hitler. The aftermath led to even more severe damage. However, the death of one person started it all. The Night of Broken Glass was an intensely devastating occurrence which took place due to the assassination of Ernst Vom Rath and brought upon various consequences to

of Adolf Hitler the leader of the Nazi Party. The Holocaust began as a result of the Nazi parties rise to power. Hitler was an anti-Semitist and once he gained control of the Germany state, he did everything he could to deprive Jews of their rights. Eventually he sent them to concentration camps (death camps) where millions of them were killed. This picture shows a Jewish business that has been destroyed as a result of Kristallnacht.

Assess the significance of Kristallnacht Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass", is one of the most crucial events in German, Jewish, and World History.

In two days, over 250 synagogues were burnt down while the fire department did nothing to stop it, over 7,000 Jewish businesses were trashed and looted, Jews were murdered

The Methods of Implementing the Holocaust (1933-45) Ehi Oyugbo INTRODUCTION The Holocaust refers to the systematic persecution and genocide of 6 million Jews by the Nazi Regime, led by Adolf Hitler. When Hitler was appointed as Chancellor of Germany, discrimination against Jews became a government policy. This was based on the prejudice that Jews were ‘racially impure,’ and threatened Germany’s ability to become a stronger empire1. The unprecedented crime against humanity began in 1933 with the

lasting effect on the world’s history. In Germany in the year 1933, a man named Adolf Hitler rose to power. His mission would be to “exterminate” all minorities, but most importantly, the Jews. "Holocaust" is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire". But as we now know in history, the Holocaust was the genocide of six million Jews by Hitler and the Nazi regime. Over the time of Hitler's reign, the Jewish population would be stripped of their rights, dignity, and most preciously their lives

above all, why it was allowed to happen? The Holocaust was a horrific tragedy that killed nearly 6 million Jewish civilians. It took place for a number of the reasons. Germany had proven to be an anti-Semitic country for centuries and Jews were used as scapegoats for German problems. Centuries of Nazi persecution cause the Holocaust particularly in 1933-1939 as well as Adolf Hitler and his racist opinions which influenced the German people. The Holocaust was an opportunity for Germany to 'cleanse'
