Pogroms During The Holocaust

On November 10, 1938 at 1:02 A.M. is when the Nazi’s chargered (Heydrich, 35). This night is called the Kristallnacht or the broken glass. “... business and apartments belonging to the Jews may be destroyed but not looted,” (Heydrich, 35). All Nazi officers burned down all the of the Jews businesses, homes, and their synagogues. Kristallnacht affected many Jewish lives from some aspects of their family, finance, and religion.

Kristallnact was one of the first step of striping jews down, takeing there identity,religion, and society. Kristallnacht was chaotic and horrific. Kristallnacht took away jews’ humanity and will to live. Kristallnacht is an event were the nazis striped everything from the jews. The nazis went into every single jewish businesses and destroyed everything. ”It was the only time I was almost traumatized. There was not any store that wasn't hit. ”Kristallnacht was the night of broken

Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass", is one of the most crucial events in German, Jewish, and World History. Before, the Jews were simply assaulted and verbally abused. However, on the night of November 9, 1938, an unplanned and extremely violent action against the Jews occurred. 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, Jewish cemeteries, schools, hospitals, and homes were looted by SS while the police attempted to preserve them but failed. Before Kristallnacht, Jews ' lives were not threatened. Historically Jews were not welcome by many countries which

On November 9, 1938, Kristallnacht occurred, it was a horrific day for European Jews. Kristallnacht means “The Night of Broken Glass.¨ On that night Jewish people got beaten and killed, their homes got broken into, and Jewish women and children got brutalized. Synagogues got burnt down and Jewish stores were destroyed.

There are so many remarkable people who have gone before us and shaped the world into what it is today. With the passing of yet another Veterans Day, people were reminded of the extraordinary sacrifices made by ordinary men and women who were unfortunate enough to have lived during times when their nations were at war. Many ordinary citizens lost their lives as a result of the war, just as soldiers did. While some survivors simply lived out their post war lives, others survived and influenced the world. One person who survived the atrocities of the Holocaust during World War II and used his experiences to improve social, political, and religious conditions throughout the world, is Elie Wiesel. Through the words of Elie Wiesel, the public can witness the evils of war, keep these memories alive in the collective recall of future generations, and take action upon witnessing injustices of its kind.

In 1881 a Jewish massacre occurred in Russia known as the pogroms, which is an organized massacre of a culture group. The start of the pogroms was after Tsar Alexander II, the ruler of Russia, was killed in 1881 and it was suspected that the murderer was a Jewish man. (Antin 72) For Russia to get back, they placed all the blame on the Jewish people and the only way to get revenge was to kill each and every person who identified with the Jewish religion. In this paper my goal is to explain what the pogroms are, the major events that occurred in this time period, and what was learned from this time in history.

Eleven million innocent people died and many did not know what they did or why it was happening to them (Rice 11). The Holocaust happened because of the Germans after World War 2 thought that the reason that their economy was falling down was because of Jewish people. The Holocaust followed the Ladder of Prejudice is a started with speech and moved its way up to “The Final Solution” also known as extermination. Hitler did not start with killing Jews. He killed Jews,Gypsies,homosexuals and many more religions or cultural people and Hitler also sent people to concentration camps if they spoke against the Government, then he moved to the Ladder of Prejudice, he used discrimination, physical attack and, extermination.

The Holocaust was an event that took place from 1933 to 1945 in Germany. During this time, Adolf Hitler was in charge, resulting in the prejudice actions that are well written in history. Facing economic, social, and political oppression, thousands of German Jews wanted to flee, but found few countries wanting to take them in. Eventually, under Hitler’s leadership, some 6 million Jews were murdered during World War II. In this time period the Nazi’s waged a war against the Jews and other races that they considered to be unequal in race and superiority to the German race. The actions that took place during the Holocaust were seen as the “Final Solution”. The Holocaust was one of the darkest times in history, and can be traced to the rising of Hitler, “An egomaniac with delusions of grandeur, and power” (Steinberg 240). The Holocaust resulted in the deaths of many Jews and other non- Germans, until they were liberated by America.

During 1933 through 1945 the Holocaust occurred that took place in Germany. The Holocaust is one of the world's most well-known topic of genocide in modern history. During the Holocaust many people lives were perished because of brutal acts by Nazi’s and Germans. Once Hitler became chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933, many Jews were endangered to be killed. Until May 8, 1945, when the war in Europe ended. During the war many Jews were persecuted and would be killed. By 1933 there was a population of more than 9 million Jews in Europe and a large portion of they were killed in Germany or countries operated by Germany. The Nazis were also known as the National Socialist Party, they also complied with orders from Hitler. These

During World War II and the Holocaust, many people wondered why Jewish people did not fight back against the Nazi’s. But what many people do not know is that about 30,000 Jewish people resisted and fought back against the Nazi command (Resistance). The Holocaust started in 1939 and ended in 1945. The Jews were forced into ghettos and were ostracized from the world by a wall or barbed wire fence. There were also concentration or death camps where after the war ended, almost no Jews survived. During the Holocaust, the Jewish people engaged in both armed and unarmed resistance in order to preserve their faith, morale, and humanity.

During the war Hitler gained extreme nationalism for Germany. After WWI Hitler worked for the DAP, which later turned into the Nazis. When working for the DAP Hitler adopted their ways. He actually designed the Nazi symbol. Hitler became known for his powerful speeches against the Treaty of Versailles. In 1921 he became the chairman of the Nazis. During the Great Depression Hitler had a great political opportunity. Hitler was titled chancellor of Germany to promote political balance. On July 14, 1933 Hitler’s Nazi party was declared the only legal political party in Germany. From 1933-1939 Hitler made laws and policies to exclude jews from society. On September 1, 1939 Germany invaded Poland, and because of that Britain and France declared war on Germany and WWII officially started. In the beginning of WWII Hitler started the Holocaust. Hitler put Jews in concentration camps and thousands of them were gassed. Hitler made over 40,000 camps. The Holocaust was the main reason for deaths during

It is known as Kristallnacht, it was on November 9th and 10th. The Nazi’s looted stores, broke windows, and set synagogues on fire. There were 815 shops destroyed, 119 synagogues set on fire, and 76 more were destroyed, some Jews were beaten and some killed. Some of the Jewish store owners that were women were drug out onto the street by their hair. In 1938 Adolf Eichmann forced 150,000 Jews to emigrate. On October 28, 1938, 17,000-18,000 Polish Jews were dumped at the Polish border and some were sent in rail cars to the border. In the Nazi time period, the Nazis witnessed the theft of more than $150 billion dollars in stolen

I know it was war but was it also racism? Judging through the fact Germany was also the enemy, why didn't the U.S bomb them if they were also our enemy in WW2? This is all I have to say. Thousands of innocent Japanese people died which surely ended the war but those people who died also had family and friends. There are hundred of different ways to end the war that is better than killing thousands of innocent people. Not to be mean but the U.S used similar killing strategy that the Nazis used to kill the Jewish people during the Holocaust.

The Holocaust was one of the most horrible and dreaded events in history. Millions of Jews were killed, leaving many families devastated and hopeless. With the goal of racial purity, Adolf Hitler- along with many other Germans believed the Jews caused the defeat of their country, and led the Nazis to the elimination of Jews. For this reason, “Even in the early 21st century, the legacy of the Holocaust endures…as many as 12,000 Jews were killed every day” (The Holocaust). Later, Hitler organized concentration camps, where mass transports of Jews from ghettoes were brought and typically killed also. However, the fortunate Jews that were not killed still had many restrictions on their

Who are the Jews and how did they manage to survive during the time of the Holocaust? This is a question that is often brought up among people and can be answered with help of those who survived and those who worked in helping save the Jews. The Jews are simply people who have their own religious beliefs and practices just like any other religious group. (www.remember.org “Who are the Jews”) The religious and cultural aspects of the Jews was often looked upon as elaborate and sophisticated to those who viewed it from the outside such as the Christians. (Kagan, Ozment, Turner 271) The Jews practices include dietary laws, the Jewish calendar, sabbath and festival observance , ritual clothing, and life cycle events. The Jews may not eat certain foods or foods that does not have the blood removed. In order to set dates, the Jews use both lunar and solar calendars. The Jewish people celebrate many different holidays and festivals that have their own rituals to go along with them. For example, “Rosh Hashanah” or the new year is celebrated and Jews do not attend school or do work on that day. The Jews also have different ways of dressing for occasions. During prayer, a male must wear a skull cap that covers the head, phylacteries which are Torah passages written on parchment with leather straps and are usually worn on the forehead and left arm, and fringed shawls are also worn. Every Jew must also go through certain life cycles. Every male will be circumcised on the eighth day
