The Importance Of The Final Solution

The holocaust was established by hitler to execute even more jews. About 6 million jews lost their lives during the holocaust. German authorities targeted groups that had a different racial inferiority. During world war II the germans went by the “final solution” a policy to murder all jews. The holocaust was a big shock for the jews. This dramatic experience still haunt the streets of germany.

Around this time the Nazis came up with the term “The Final Solution” This meant to have all Jewish people segregated and put into ghettos, limiting their freedom and lives. People were evicted from their properties and also from their business just because they were Jews, and they were put in the “ghettos”. Life in the ghettos was unbearable and overcrowding. Specially when they have ten families living in one small apartment. They were also limited on the food that they could buy, since Nazis did not let them buy enough food for them and their family they were only aloud to buy small amounts, they were trying to make the Jewish starve. Jewish kids also sneak out through small openings in the ghetto walls to smuggle food, but if they got caught they were going to be severely punished. The housing inside ghettos were unsanitary specially when plumping broke down, and human waste was thrown in the streets along with garbage and caused contagious diseases that spread rapidly in the ghettos. Many people died every day in the ghettos because of the terrible conditions they lived and some

Anti-Semitism was used to carry out the final solution through persecution and later extermination of Jews. Anti-Semitism is the discrimination and extreme hatred of Jews. Anti-Semitism built a platform for the Nazi to take control of the people. Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat and made people in society believe that they were

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

To start off with, The Final Solution was a process that the Nazis used to exterminate the

At the “Wannsee Conference”, which took place in Berlin, on January 20, 1942 the German regime with its main protagonists Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler planned the ‘final solution of the Jewish question. Even if massacres of about one million Jews occurred before the plans of the Final Solution, with the decision to eradicate the entire Jewish population, extermination camps were built and industrialized mass slaughter of Jews began in earnest. The scene where a train of Schindler’s workers was wrongly sent to Auschwitz shows such an extermination camp were the Nazis systematically gassed thousands of Jews. Another example for the organized genocide is the mass cremation after the mass execution during the eviction of the ghetto in Krakow.

The Holocaust has impacted the world in various of ways. A plethora of Jews were displaced in Germany and severely harmed. The effects of the Holocaust can still be viewed in today's society. The Nazis believed that exterminating the Jews was justified because the Jews were not only a low and bad race, but were affecting the lives of the Germans negatively. Hitler and the Nazis blamed them for all the social and economic problems in Germany. Adolf Hitler then planned to get rid of the all Jews living in Germany, or all around Europe. After years of Nazi soldiers ruling in Germany, Jews were consistently persecuted severely. Hitler’s final solution became known as the Holocaust, under the cover of the world war, with mass killing centers constructed

In the final years of the war, Himmler and Eichmann proposed the concept to place the Jewish people in camps and eliminate the rest of the Jewish people before the war was over; this concept was known as the “Final Solution.” These SS soldiers are the main cause of the Holocaust because they were the group that fully helped consummate Hitler’s idea to remove the Jewish people out of Germany and, in the end, they gave the orders to mass murder any Jew alive.

The Holocaust was the persecution and the murder of six million Jews by Hitler, the nazi party and its collaborators. The meaning of the word holocaust is "sacrifice by fire." During the holocaust the government was the Nazi party. The Nazis, who came to power in Germany, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community. Germans thought the Roma's (gypsies), homosexuals, and the disabled people were a threat to the Germans as well. They used these groups as a scapegoat due to the depression after the loss of World War II. Hitlers goal during the final solution aimed to isolate Jews from society and drive them out of the country. (ushmm.org)

Summary: This article was an introduction to the Holocaust. The German Nazi’s thought that the Jews were a community. Not only the Jews were targeted, anyone with a racial inferiority was targeted. For example, although the Jews were the main threat the gypsies, Jehovah’s witnesses, and homosexuals and the disabled were also targeted. The Holocaust was a way to decrease the Jewish population; the final solution was to murder the Jews of Europe or anyone that was a threat to their German culture. Many died of incarceration and maltreatment. During the war they created ghettos, forced-labor camps between 1941 and 1944 the Nazi German Authorities would deport the Jews to extermination camps where they were murdered in gassing facilities. May 7, 1945 the German armed forces surrendered to the allies.

"Final Solution" was an official policy of death for many minority groups in Europe, and a major obsession of the Nazi regime. These death camps were built for the sole purpose of rationalized,

In a continuation of the previous argument, it can also be argued that the Final Solution arose as a result of the chaotic nature of the Nazi regime during this period as per the Structuralist argument. This concept relies on the fact that these various institutions within the Third Reich competed with one another and as a result of this chaos ensued as these various institutions had poorly defined roles. An example of such would be the transportation of Jews to Madagascar to effectively deal with the Jewish question, at first Heydrich had suggested that the Jews be moved to suitable territory and it had been the Jewish section of the foreign office who had then suggested Madagascar, a place which would not sustain the Jewish population of Europe. Another example of such would be the movement of Jews to the East of Poland which led to the development of local initiatives as construction of gassing facilities were ordered and the utilisation of gas vans. This concept of Cumulative Radicalisation as devised by Mommsen argues that Hitler had no clear plan as to what to do with the Jews. As a result of this it could be argued that the Final solution emerged as a result of these various institutions all working towards the goal of the Fuhrer which created this chaos state and led to systematic extermination of the Jews by 1942.

After the invasion of the Soviet Union, in June 1941 the Nazi government began to conceive of a plan to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler was the chief architect of the plan, which came to be called the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.

In addition to its being a fresh approach to the subject including new primary sources, Holocaust: The Nazi Persecution and Murder of the Jews solves several scholarly problems related to how to conceptualize and hypothesize about the holocaust. In the Introduction, Longerich explains that previous scholarship on the specific subject of how the Final Solution came to be implemented has been divisive. Scholars have disagreed primarily over whether the Final Solution was implemented because of the centralized intentions of Hitler and the inner circle of the Nazi party; or because of the bureaucratic structure that allowed for "cumulative radicalization" of the party and the populace (Longerich, 2010, p. 1).

Lastly, with the news spreading of the Holocaust to the United States many people did not believe that the “Final Solution” was undergoing. This is partly due to the United States not announcing to the public that this mass murder was happening in Europe. For the people who did hear about the “Final Solution”, they simply did not believe that such barbaric actions by the Nazis was happening. The United States should have publicized this information to the people, so the people knew what was going on in Europe at this time, and so they could do everything they could to end the “Final Solution” (“The
