Persecution Of Jews And Aryans In Germany

Hitler and the Nazis had wanted everything to be in a certain order and everyone to be the same. Believing in the same things instead of everyone having their own vision of life. Even if he didn’t meet to those standards himself claiming there are these people considered as the all and mighty ones. They banished the gypsies from Germany in late

It’s difficult to imagine a society where millions upon millions are murdered because of their religion and race. According to A Teacher’s Guide to the Holocaust “Approximately 11 million people were killed because of Nazi genocidal policy” (“Victims”). Not only did they get killed because they were Jews. Some people were undesirable by Nazi standards because of who they were their genetic or cultural origins, or health conditions. These included Jews, Gypsies, Poles and other Slavs, and people with physical or mental disabilities. Others were Nazi victims because of what they did. These victims of the Nazi regime included Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, the dissenting clergy, Communists, Socialists, a socials, and other political enemies” (victims”). They didn’t consider Jews as a race they consider it as a religion. According to the Jewish virtual library “Hitler focused his propaganda against the Versailles Treaty, the "November criminals," the Marxists and the visible, internal enemy No. 1, the "Jew," who was responsible for all Germany's domestic problems. In the twenty-five-point programme of the NSDAP announced on 24 February 1920, the exclusion of the Jews from the Volk community, the myth of Aryan race supremacy and extreme nationalism were combined with "socialistic" ideas of profit-sharing and nationalization inspired by ideologues like Gottfried Feder. Hitler's first written utterance on political questions dating from

Most of us have heard of the Nazi party’s horrific, genocidal regime on destroying the Jewish race, but what events led up to their dire judgement? In this study I aim to uncover the events, reasons and changes which led to the Holocaust and the further changes in the treatment of the Jewish race by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.

This is where he would first spell out his hatred of the Jews. Because of the political scene after WWI, many Germans hated the fact that there were losses in battle and they felt they were being stabbed by the back and blamed it on the Jews. Another factor fueling the fire that is the hatred of the Jews is economic strains from the great depression. Before the Nazis arrived on the scene, the idea of extermination of the mentally disabled and disabled would free up money for Germany’s economy. This already planted the idea in the heads that the racially undesirables should be exterminated to free up money for the superior races. (Burleigh,

“Why didn’t Jews leave Germany sooner?” “Why did they not resist their deportation to the death camps more forcefully?” – Questions of this nature have been asked continuously throughout the last five decades. Hindsight can give the impression that the encounter between Jews and the Third Reich during the Holocaust had to unfold as it eventually did, prompting the question of why Jews failed to see the proverbial writing on the wall. However, if historians have found it troubling to determine precisely how the Nazi Regime planned to deal with German Jews at any given moment between 1933 and 1941, how much more challenging must it have been for the Jewish men and women living within Nazi Germany to do so at the time.[1] Those who inquire as to how German Jews could have missed the writing on the wall make their first fatal mistake when they assume there was writing left to be read. The reality is that Nazi Germany was as perplexing to Jews at the time as it still is to us today.[2] A detailed answer to the subject in question is available in the history of Jewish life before 1938. The earlier years of Nazi Germany are crucial for understanding Jewish responses to Nazism because these years shed light on the incremental nature of Nazi persecution. However, the daily lives of Jews before the November Pogrom of 1938 are often eclipsed by the later, horrific years of genocide. The following pages will push past the focus on the history of the Holocaust and offer a close

At the foundation of Nazi ideology is a strict adherence to the racial purification of the ‘Aryan race.’ Nazi propagandists and racial fanatics created ways to limit the rights of people who were deemed racially inferior; the majority of such policies focused on solving the ‘Jewish Problem.’ In an effort to increase pressures on the Jewish population of Europe, the Nazi regime imposed laws and edicts to remove any legal rights of Jewish citizens. In order to purify the German race, the Nazi regime went a step further and implemented legislation to separate the Jewish and Aryan populations; a separation of these groups would provide a quicker way to racial purification. In the mid-1930s, laws, like the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour, were enacted to inhibit marriage and sexual relations between people of Jewish and Aryan descent. This particular law focuses on the purification of German blood, the Jewish-German marriage policy and the display of Reich symbols. Looking at its historical context, however, we see that this law is only a small piece of the Nazi policies focused on the persecution of Jews.

The Nazi Party Platform publicly declared their intentions to segregate the Jews from Aryan and stated that “ Only a national comrade can be a citizen. Only someone of German blood, regardless of faith, can be a citizen. Therefore no Jews can be a citizen.” (Citation)

The Jews were not the only people persecuted and exterminated by Hitler and his regime... (Resnick p. 11) Gypsies, homo-sexuals, cripples, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholic priests, the terminally ill, and Communists would all fall victims to the hatred and brutality of the Nazis. However, the attributes that made them worthy for elimination, according to Hitler, were all

This shows that the Holocaust was predicated on ‘racial hatred’ as Nazi ideology portrayed the Jewish population as being non-German or not pure so that a solution had to be

It was believed that Adolf Hitler (ruler of Germany at the time) and the Nazi party (supporters of Hitler) hated many people for many reasons. They hated jews because jews had most of the money,, most of the jobs, and had already established and owned most of the land in Germany. They hated handicapped people because they were believed to be “useless”, they hated Gypsies because Gypsies were

The year is 1933. A new political power has emerged in Germany, and is quickly expanding its' reach throughout the country. The Nazi Party, led by charismatic leader Adolf Hitler, has appealed to the German people, anxious for decisive action that will reverse the economic downturn they had been experiencing. Although the German people gave power to the Nazi party because of their determination for change and while under the impression that compromise with their more extreme ideologies would occur, the Nazi party would prove to be unrelenting. For the Jewish population in Germany between the Nazi seizure of power in 1933 and the outbreak of WWII in 1939, life became progressively worse with each passing year until life in Germany as a Jew

This mirrors the persecution of the Jews, who also needed to be eradicated. As well it shows how the Roma were victims of the “Gypsy question” which mirrors the Jewish Question (extermination of all Jews in Europe) and tells us that the eradication of Roma was also crucial to the Nazis. This section source is valuable as it was given by the leader of the SS and one of the most important Nazis in Germany, Himmler , giving us insight to the party’s ideology and the behaviour towards the

After the Holocaust from 1933-1939 the Jewish members have migrated from Germany to The European Neighboring Countries such as France Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland. The strongest push factor is the German Jews was the continuation of the discrimination against their religion.

A timeline of bias against the Roma and introduction of the genocide. In 1899 in Bavaria, an organization was formed that was the pinnacle of targeting the Gypsies (“Gypsies” 82). A little over 20 years later, in 1922, in Baden, Germany began systematically identifying and classifying the Roma (“Romanies” 2240). This is comparable to the first and second stage of Genocide, classification and symbolization. The Roma were called “Gypsies” and, as shown in (“Romanies” 2240), identified by the Germans. In 1926, Bavaria passed laws that registered the Roma and stopped them from “roaming or camping in bands” (“Romanies” 2240). “In Bavaria none were allowed to travel in family groups or to own firearms. Those [Gypsies] over sixteen were liable for

Up until the night of November 9th 1938 the German policy on the Jewish question had been addressed through legal and bureaucratic strategies, the aim was to pressure the Jews remaining in Germany and conquered lands through systematic marginalization and intimidation to emigrate elsewhere. On an earlier written statement by Hitler he states that a pogrom is the result of a purely emotional anti-Semitism instead he aimed to achieve anti-Semitism through reason and systematic legal elimination of the privilege of Jews . Thus Kristallnacht marks a significant shift in the Reich policy to expedite the process which would eventually lead to a path of genocide, to rid Germany of Jews once and for all.
