The Holocaust: The Film Demonization Of Eternal Jews

Throughout the 1800’s to the mid-1900’s one problem restricted and threatened the Jewish race. Through trials, battles, immigration, and more the jews couldn’t catch a break. They were a despised people suffering due to an inability of the Jewish people to fully assimilate into other societies. This issue highlighted the political and cultural atmosphere and events throughout the time periods we studied. From beneath all the destruction and chaos occurring during this time period lies an important message.

Throughout history, hatred has been a widespread thought which has caused widespread death, chaos, and war. One huge and important example would be the Holocaust. This idea that Jewish

Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel once stated, “No human race is superior; no religious faith inferior. All collective judgements are wrong. Only racists make them.” Imagine being discriminated against for something you couldn’t control; like the way you look or talk, what you believe in or the way you live, how would that make you feel? Now imagine being dehumanized for that something you can’t change. It may sound preposterous, but during the holocaust that’s precisely what happened. The dehumanization of the Jewish midst the Holocaust is vital to learn about because it enlightens us on the unfair bigotry, ghastly living conditions, and how the Jewish had their identity stripped away.

It’s about the jews and how and what happened to them after the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the time where about six million jews and one million other people dying. Most people were killed because they belonged to different races and religions. The Nazis wanted to kill people that weren’t from their same religious group. The Nazis also killed people who disrespected Hitler. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party.

Adolf screamed, "If I am ever really in power, the destruction of the Jews will be my first and most important job. As soon as I have power, I shall have gallows after gallows erected, for example, in Munich on the Marienplatz-as many of them as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged one after another, and they will stay hanging until they stink. They will stay hanging as long as hygienically possible. As soon as they are untied, then the next group will follow and that will continue until the last Jew in Munich is exterminated. Exactly the same procedure will be followed in other cities until Germany is cleansed of the last Jew!"

Throughout the history of the world, the Jewish people have been persecuted and oppressed because of their religious beliefs and faith. Many groups of people have made Jews their scapegoat. Jews have suffered from years of intolerance because people have not understood what the religion really means. They do not understand where and why the religion began, nor the customs of it's people. For one to understand the great hardships, triumphs, and history of the Jewish people one must open-mindedly peruse a greater knowledge of the Jewish people and faith.

The Holocaust is, if not, one of the largest and most important events of European academic history. This event was the systematic killing of Jews by the Nazi regime from 1933-1945. The Holocaust was based on the idea to create a “perfect race”. The perfect race involved eliminating anyone who was considered a threat to the Nazi Party. This included: the Jews, Gypsies, handicapped, the mentally ill, and anyone with an “imperfection”. Today there are various representations available, which adequately convey thoughts, opinions and information about the Holocaust. And with such a variety of resources, it poses the question, about which, is the best representation available to understanding this tragic event. While it’s hard to determine what

Everybody had a different perspective on the Jews. One perspective is, Hitler believed the Jews were horrible. He had also explained and convinced this to the Nazis by saying they were “back stabbing” people. For example, the text Adolf Hitler and Mein Kampf Excerpt from Smoke and Ashes: The Story of the Holocaust” it states “..Germany had lost World War I through a “stab in the back” from its own government, which had allied itself with Jews. The Jews had so weakened the government that it had lost the will and the strength to fight.” The quote goes the show why Hitler and the Nazis have a hatred for the Jews. They explain and infer that they only reason why the Germans had lost World War 1 is because the Jews allied themselves with

The Holocaust, sometimes is referred as the Shoah, was a terrible event in the world’s history. The word Holocaust is from the Greek holo “whole” plus kaustus “burnt.” It refers to an animal sacrifice in which the entire animal is burned. The word Shoah is Hebrew for “destruction.” It started January 1933, whenever Hitler came to power. Over six million jews were killed by the Nazis during this time period. The Jews were forced into prison camps and they were made to do hard labor work. Young children would be targeted particularly, the Nazis thought if they grew up they would parent a new generation of Jews. Before all this, they were forced to live in ghettos, and in the larger ghettos over one thousand Jews would be picked up and taken by train to a concentration camp. Between 1933 and 1945, 11 million men, women, and children were killed during the holocaust, approximately six million of these people were Jews. Over one million people were killed at the Auschwitz complex, this was more than any other place. The Auschwitz complex consisted of three large camps, Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Monowitz. The testimonies of some Jews who went through the Holocaust were put in a book, for example you have the Diary of Anne Frank. Comparisons can be drawn between Night and Maus through author’s purpose, symbolism, and portrayal of religion.

Jews were hated and only treated as scapegoat from Adolf Hitler. If Jews weren’t protected under law or either have their citizens right, they were only call “Christ Killer” which in meaning of that the Jews were the fault of the death of Christ. In Europe Jews did not have the right to own lands so they mostly became peddlers to make a living out of it. The anti-semitism was the wrong doing of the hate towards the Jews but it also came with the myth from people who are christian to the reason to why Christ died was because of the Jews was part of the myth but mostly the main part of it and mostly Hitler’s hate towards things he didn’t like.

People of Jewish heritage have suffered hate throughout history in copious amounts. They were persecuted in Europe during the plague, millions died as they were again persecuted in Germany for all of the “problems” that they were said to have caused. Though it is not like in Nazi Germany, where they had people writing srules such as, “1. One cannot fight the Jew by positive means. He is a negative, and this negative must be erased from the German system, or he will forever corrupt it,”(Der Jude 322) there are still obstacles that Jewish people face when trying to achieve their goals. In history, many of these obstacles not only the rules in Germany, but also, “Blood libels—false rumors that Jews used the blood of Christian children for ritual

In this paper, it will be discussed the importance of Anti-Semitism from its origin and its current importance as a perception which denigrated Jews. Since its origin, Anti-Semitism community tried to deny the emancipation of Jews. Jews were not allowed to own land, work in public offices and free trade because they

In showing the Jews as the enemy, the film takes a great deal of care to show the 'ordinary' Jew.Dirty, lazy, cunning, hyper-sexual-these are the traits Jud Suess assigns to the Jewish people. In the synagogue, the Jews sing in a wild and

Throughout history, there has not been a more persecuted ethnoreligious group than the Jews; examples of their persecution can be traced back to Biblical times. Because of their mistreatment by other ethnic and religious groups, the Jewish people have formed a self-identity that is unlike any other cultural group in this world. There are three components that make up the Jewish self-identity: antisemitism and its effects, the image of the self-hating Jew, often a result of antisemitism, and the events and repercussions of the Holocaust.

The Jewish people are often associated with material wealth and being an enemy to the society to which they have been
