Religious Conflict Between The Nazis And Jehovah 's Witnesses

Well, Jehovah’s Witnesses believed that Jesus is God’s only direct creation, and that everything else was created by means of Christ. Every European Country, had people who didn’t believe in Nazi ideology. Hitler didn’t like this group of Christians because they refused to recognized any other god other than Jehovah. They were forced to wear purple wristbands and thousands were imprisoned as traitors. Who were the Roma Gypsies? Well, like the Jews, Roma Gypsies were selected for complete destruction because of their race. The Roma Gypsies were a nomadic people that were prosecuted throughout history. 500,000 Roma Gypsies were destroyed during the Holocaust. What happened to Homosexuals during the Holocaust? Homosexuals were prosecuted, tortured, and executed. Hitler even searched Nazis and he found homosexuals and he sent them to concentration camps. Homosexual Inmates were forced to wear pink triangles, so they could be humiliated inside the camp. 15,000 homosexuals died during the Holocaust. What happened to the disabled? Well, Hitler decided that it was a waste of time to support the disabled, so he sentenced them to death. Let me conclude by recapping my points. I began by telling you how different types of people died during the Holocaust. Then, we looked into what happened to some of the Non-Jewish Victims during the Holocaust. So, everyone remember that the Holocaust was a violent and deadly time

Many religious conflicts are built from prejudice. However, only few will have a 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.

Other religions blamed the Jews for 'Christ's' resurrection and were regarded as 'Christ killers'. As years and centuries have gone by, the Jews were still being blamed for unfortunate events that there wasn't even evidence for. Thirdly I would like to add that there had been centuries of persecution from the Nazis in particular; 1933-1939. In 1933

Jewish people were tortured, abused, and subjected through horrific unfathomable situations by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. Despite all of the unpragmatic hardships Jews all over Europe faced, many stayed true to their faith and religion. There are numerous stories in which Jewish people tried to keep the roots of their religion well knowing the risk of torture and death. The never ending fear of Jewish people living in the Ghettos and trying to survive concentration camps was difficult, but not impossible for the Jews to keep religion.

Their devotion and loyalty to churches were very high that they had very low religious tolerance. As a result, entire Jewish communities were destroyed in Europe with inhabitants killed and some slaughtered.

Jews all over Europe feared for their lives and many were aware that the punishment for their religion depended on the

I interviewed a family friend, Susan Gustavson, who has been practicing Judaism since she was a child. Like the majority of Jews, she was born into a Jewish family. Both of her parents were Jewish, her sister and herself are still Jewish today. She grew up in Livermore, California, and now fifty six years later, resides in Santa Rosa, with her husband, son, and daughter, who is currently attending an art internship in New York. Both Susan and her sister attended Sunday School every week and celebrated Jewish holidays. Over one hundred and fifty years ago, her family moved to the United States, and was largely able to escape persecution for their religious beliefs, even before the holocaust. During the holocaust, almost all of her family in Europe was killed. Of the three types of Jews, Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or Liberal Judaism, she is of the latter, which is the type most common in Sonoma County. While she has not experienced prejudice, she claims she is one generation away from being persecuted. She believes her parents were persecuted while they lived in California.

The Jews used many types of ways to resist against the Nazis. One of the any ways the Jewish people resisted against the Nazis was by spiritual. “The Germans forbade religious services in most ghetto, so many Jews prayed and held ceremonies in secret - cellars, attics and back rooms - as other stood guard”

“Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.” (J.K. Rowling) While a lot of the world disliked the Japanese race and the Jewish religion, most of them world simply ignored what was going on in America and Germany at these times. No one went out of their way to help until, in Germany’s case, the other countries were threatened by Nazis and decided to step in and stop everything going on. The world turned a blind eye to these tragedies happening to Japanese and Jewish people until it affected them personally (World War 1 and 2). In the case of World War 1, people did not step in to help save the Jewish people until the Nazis were a threat to them. Unlike the Jewish people, during World War 2, people did not try to save the Japanese from the relocation camps. America did try to hide the centers so they were less well known than the death camps in Germany were. The world’s reaction to social injustice is only one of the factors that affect one's faith in

They were often looked down upon because Christian believe that the Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus. With so many people suffering, they just wanted someone to blame and the Jews were an easy target. Explain persecution

“I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I cannot feel it. I believe in God even when he is silent”. These are the words that were carved onto a German jail cell wall by a Jewish prisoner during the Holocaust. The mentality of knowing God would watch out for the Jewish people affected by the Holocaust was really the only reason for staying hidden throughout the two year span that the Holocaust lasted. One of the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, Jeannine Burk, could be a perfect example. Jeannine hid from the Nazis for two years, and the urge to see her family again was what drove her to keep hidden and go through such a difficult experience with confusion blinding her every move.

After a substantial amount of time spent in camps, a lot of people lose faith after enduring the brutality of the camps. People see how much ration of food they get.

Many individuals believe that religion and having faith is what kept some of the Jewish prisoners sane since they have been striped of all they're personal and physical belongings. While in these camps most people threw

Moreover, it is these persecutions of differing beliefs and backgrounds that can demonstrate the effects of foreign groups upon a homogenous society. Jews in Medieval society were often persecuted as a result of religious differences or from often misattributed blame for destructive events. The sheer ideological differences were simply

Concentration camps were horrible places filled with starvation, dangerous work, and death. After being taken out of the ghettos Jews were most often carted like caged animals to the camps. There, if not immediately sentenced to death during selection, the people were stripped of their identity and thrown into a situation no human deserves to be in. Many Jews either lost their faith or used it as a tool for survival. Many asked themselves, is there a god, or is this a test of faith? (Sheldon 1) Given
