Text Transport That Changed History By Kenneth Monroe

At the end of WWI in 1918, Germany’s economy was in ruins. There were very few jobs, and bitterness began to take over the country. According to the text, “Hitler, a rising politician, offered Germany a scapegoat: Jewish people. Hitler said that Jewish people were to blame for Germany’s problems. He believed that Jews did not deserve to live.” (7) This was the birth of Antisemitism--prejudice against Jewish people. Europe’s Jewish people have always been persecuted due to their “different customs and beliefs that many viewed with suspicion.”(7) Hitler simply reignited the flames, and a violent hatred was born.

The Holocaust was an event that Hitler a German leader placed upon his own country. Hitler placed knowledge on many believing that he was one of germany's best leaders in the textual it states some reasons about how Hitler became a german leader and how it effected Germany, “Germany has been struggling since 1918, When it was defeated in World War I. The German people felt humiliated, tired, and bitter. Hitler and his Nazi party rose to power by tapping into these feelings. Hitler declared that Germans were superior to everyone else. He also offered up scapegoat for all of Germany’s problems….” also found, “Hitler’s influence spread”. The Holocaust started because of why they hated the Jews is because of Hitler and how he acted towards the Jews because of the race he thought they were when they were just a religion.

The Nazis began taking Jewish people in Germany and surrounding countries from their homes and sending

During the 1930s and 1940s, there was prejudice and discrimination against the Jews. The Nazis blamed them for Germany’s problems, and many people followed them. With people hating on the Jews, the Nazis were able to manipulate and control the people. The Jews were treated badly by not just the Germans, but many others as well. When Hitler came into power in 1933, he commanded the extermination of German Jews. The Jewish people were mistreated and it should not have happened. A ship called the St. Louis carried Jewish people that were fleeing Nazi persecution. They went to many countries, but they were refused and had to find somewhere else. Hitler wanted to get rid of them, so the Nazis gathered them up and placed them in concentration camps were they would be

In around 1941 during World War II, Adolf Hitler captured men, women and children that were specifically Jewish and sent them away to camps. In these concentration camps they were dehumanized in many different ways including being starved, tortured, long work hours and more. Hitler and his group of people also murdered many of these Jews by

When Hitler was elected to be leader he seemed like the type to make everything fine, which everybody was looking for at the time, although within a couple months that all went downhill. As the days grew longer the Jews felt more and more apprehensive knowing something was going to happen but couldn't do anything about it. Hitler was the type of person who caused pain for pleasure. During the Holocaust, many countries enforced laws towards emigrating citizens out of Germany, like the Johnson Immigration Act, which limited many people to stay; the United States had room to take in all the people who needed help but chose not to help.

In the mid 1930s heading into the the mid 1940s, The Nazis created harsh living conditions for Jews living in Europe. The Nazis, lead by Adolf Hitler, were an right wing group that took control of Germany and eventually expanded to the other European countries around them including Poland and Austria. Using the Nuremberg laws in 1935, the Nazis began removing Jewish people from everyday society. Four years later in 1939, Jews were forced to live in Ghettos that were overcrowded and barely maintained. Not long after in 1945, The “final solution” was implemented. Innocent Jewish men, women and children were shipped in train cars to Concentration camps. The conditions in these train cars were brutal. Passengers would go days without water, food

So, Germany had gotten a new leader who was Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler needed somebody to blame for losing World War 1 so he blamed the Jewish people and made them go into these camps called the “Concentration Camps” The concentration camps made the Jewish people work, starve, and do experiments to them. In a Scholastic Scope Magazine it briefly said on page 5 paragraph 2-4 “Many people were DESPERATE to save thousands of children from Germany and let them go into another place where it is safer. On one cold morning during the month April a girl was getting sent away her name was Lore, Lore didn't know why her parents said that she is getting sent away, but she knew that she was going to be

The children continued to be effected, there were just less frequent reports of children being physically harmed. Some of the teenage boys who were transported fought against their home country, Germany, in World War II (Ward). Due to this, some of the boys were often killed during combat. The original plan was to prevent the transports from being injured. This was effective for the majority of the time although, some were still injured. There was no way to keep every child 100% safe. Homes were promised to the transports by The Movement for the Care of Children from Germany. There were fears that many of the transports would not have homes due to the amount of children being transported at once. These fears slowly faded as different groups and organizations promised to find and provide a place to stay for every transported child. To ensure the safety of the children while on the train, soldiers searched every transports belongings before they were allowed to enter the train (Ward). Bags were checked for any weapons or suspicious items that could be used to harm another individual. The soldiers wanted to fulfill their job and do their best by making sure that every child that entered the transports made it safely off. While the children were still psychologically effected, they were mostly protected from the violence of the

In 1930 there was a horrible crisis. The germans invaded the jews and killed millions of jews, Americans, gypsies, gays, blacks, ect. The germans created a concentration camp and started sending jews to them and made them work for them untill death of later on when they were freed. Those camps help any jew no matter what age/condition they were in, even if they were the richest the Nazis were still gonna kill them.

First of all, since Hitler was so controlling and so demanding. He controlled what tragic events and made them into a good thing on the news. So it seemed like Hitler was doing a good deed. That’s why he was so inspiring to the kids. They even made a Hitler Youth to have kids join to follow his beliefs and stop the jews from living.

Before the Holocaust happened at the 1936 Olympics the Nazism was given a promotion by Hitler. During the Holocaust Jews were sent to concentration camps in where they were abused, starved, and killed. Not only did they targeted Jews but as well as disabled for persecution, gypsies, and Jehovah's Witnesses. The Nazis forced labor, or killed anyone who resisted them. The main cause many researchers think why the Holocaust happened was because Hitler’s father made his life miserable, even though he had a very big connection with his mother, she died in the arms of a Jew doctor.

As the 1930’s came along, The Nazi’s set out a series of laws and regulations called ‘Nazi Laws’. One of the very first laws was ,”Laws against Overcrowding in German schools and universities”. This was a result of many children were looked down upon by Hitler and his Nazis as ‘racially inferior’. Letters from German Children to the editor of the Nazi tabloid Der Sturmer reveal a shameful potpourri Lettof and fanaticism against their Jewish classmates. The first punishment for the Jews and Gypsy children was to be presented in front of peers and downgraded by teachers as a lesson for the German children. Then all at once the children were restricted from all schools. Not long after the first act of public humiliation, the Germans invaded many Jewish neighborhoods, families and children were forced into overcrowded ghettos with scarce food resources and unhealthy living conditions . This was the Invasion of Poland, 1939. Jewish children died of starvation and little exposure to shelter, the great numbers of deaths caused by this were a mere indifference to the German officers. And because the food was such a high demanded resource, adults would send small toddlers between the crevices in the gates and over the walls to retrieve portions of food. This started a few of popular resistance activities, underground resistance was large. Sometimes if the Ghettos were run by Jewish relatives, certain ones could escape easier. Punishments would include

Adolf Hitler came to power over Germany in January of 1933. He hated Jews and blamed them for everything bad that had ever happened to Germany. Hitler’s goal in life was to eliminate the Jewish population. With his rise to power in Germany, he would put into action his plan of elimination. This is not only why German Jews were the main target of the Holocaust, but why they were a large part of the years before, during, and after the Holocaust. Hitler’s “final solution” almost eliminated the Jewish population in Europe during World War II. At the end of the war and along with his suicide, the Jewish population would survive the horror known as the Holocaust and the Jews would eventually find their way back to their homeland of Israel

Because Hitler inhabited most of Germany with his camps and army so that his genocide would be successful, the Jewish people that got the chance to escape ran to places like Poland and other parts of Europe (GOTTFRIED 3). This brought destruction down upon their places of refuge. Many countries protected their boarders so that Jewish people could not seek shelter in their homeland and bring death and destruction to their country (GOTTFRIED 4). Hitler created a bad reputation that followed the Jewish people wherever they went, and some countries
