Male Caller: What was the purpose of the Gestapo?
Nya: Well sir the purpose of the Gestapo was to cause destruction which persecuted Germans, and opponents of the regime, and Jews. Later the Gestapo had a role in carrying out the Nazi 's “Final Solution”. When the Gestapo was told to guard the ghettos they had to impose labor, causing starving, and disease in an effort to kill many Jews that inhabited the ghettos
Anchor: Well thank you for your call sir *hangs up phone answers next call* Good morning we are here to answer your questions that you have for the Gestapo?
Female Caller: How did the Gestapo affect life for Jews and non-Jews in Germany?
Nya: The Gestapo affected the life for Jews living Germany because they were able to intimidate people to tell where the Jews were hiding. Also whenever the Gestapo had suspicions about somebody being a threat they could arrest the person and the person arrested had to sign the D-11 paper and if they refused they could be beaten till they signed it or the Gestapo could forge their signature and they would be sent to a concentration camp and depending on what the authorities wanted depended on how long they stayed.

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
In 1935 the government started the Social Security Act which gave workers benefits if they were fired or forced to quit their job. It also gave benefits to disabled workers.(Cooper 978
Ordinary Men is the disconcerting examination of how a typical unit of middle-aged reserve policemen became active participants in the slaughter of tens of thousands of Polish Jews.
Nazis slaughtered more than 5 million jews. Throughout the horrific slaughtering they kept many in a work camp, which they slowly took many things vital to them away. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel it shows how each thing they took away was an attempt at dehumanizing the jews. Whether that be their freedoms or bare necessities. Each one of these dehumanizing acts contributed to the death of 5 million jews.
Second, the Holocaust affected people’s daily lives. It especially affected the Germans’ work. Before the Holocaust, many Germans were unemployed because of the great depression that had just ended. These unemployed Germans went to work for the Nazi army. They needed provisions, and the army could provide them. The Jews were also not allowed to own businesses, so the Germans swooped in and took over the businesses that had no one to run
The Gestapo agent leaned forward, peering through the windshield, “It looks like a body in the road… yes, a German soldier.”
Jews were not looked as humans since the nazis believed germans were superior. This made jews lives more difficult for example, they could not attend public schools; go to theaters, cinema, or vacation resorts; or reside or even walk in certain sections of German
They took over jewish businesses and also their land. They had them bought by non-jewish germans, for a price that had been negotiated by the Nazis. Jews were affected by a lot of German laws and orders that prohibited there public and everyday lives. Such as the Reich Propaganda Ministry, which stated not to list the dead jewish soldiers in the World War One memorials. The jews were viewed as outsiders, some may even say a disgrace to Germany.
The Nazis were intent on annihilating Jewish people and certain minority groups. Millions of Jews were transported to concentration camps, forced to do hard labor, and eventually killed. Resistance against the Third Reich could mean severe retribution, “ people were oppressed and killed as they did not fit in with a dictators belief,
The Nazi party was anti-Semitic, against Jews, and in 1941 with the “final solution plan” the Jews began to be chased by the Gestapo, Hitler secret police, with the objective of killing all the European Jews. This could result strange to everyone because there is no reason for killing them at least we do not see that reason but the Germans did and they saw the Jewish as the guilty of everything that was wrong in the country so the solution was to send them to gethos, Jewish neighborhoods, and then pick them up with the train of the death which final stop were the labor camps were they were killed in many horrible ways. Although before this plan the Jewish were already being persecuted an example of this is “the night of the broken glasses “where In two days, over 250 synagogues were burned, over 7,000 Jewish businesses were trashed and looted, dozens of Jewish people were killed, and Jewish cemeteries, hospitals, schools, and homes were looted while police and fire brigades stood by because a German general was killed in Paris.
The Nazis made Germany economy weaker and affected Germany socially. They made Germany feel like they did have any control over their country. Germany had to worry about both Hitler and his crew. Every time Germany fought off the Nazis, Hitler was gaining power. Germany tried to get money and loans but, Germany had done so much damage that no one wanted to help them find a way to fight off Hitler. While Germany was trying to find out a way to gain all their land and country back that they had lost. While Germany was trying figure out a way to take over their land Hitler had hepatized the German people into believe everything he said. Also, Hitler was killing the Jewish people that disagreed with him. Hitler gaining power had influenced the German economy very horribly. Germany had to pay for a lot of things while Hitler was in
Gestapo’s were a very bad group, they never listened to others when they needed help, they never helped any german citizens, they arrested people for no reasons and they put them into “protective custody.” They lied and crossed over the law for them.
With this Hitler turned Germany into a totalitarian state known as Nazi Germany controlling the minds of the people and what they believed. Hitler, with the Enabling Act took control of the education system which was the foundation of his Nazi Germany. “Hitler emphasised the great importance of children.” (alpha history, n.d). With Hitler taking control of the education system the children were far more likely to believe in Nazi rule, and therefore he controlled the next generation of soldiers and mothers. Economic policies that were put in place included having a military corps known as the SS or Gestapo. Although the majority of the population never came into direct contact with the Gestapo there was enough publicity of them to scare people out of speaking there mind against Hitler or disobeying Nazi rule. The Gestapo were also in control of controlling the “pure Germans”
Social security, the federal retirement system, is one of the most popular government programs in United State?s history. Today, Social Security benefits are the backbone of the nation's retirement income system. The long road to the successful development of social security began in 1935. Before 1935, very few workers received job pensions. Those workers that were covered never received benefits because they were not guaranteed.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democratic President, invented Social Security as part of "The New Deal" in the year 1935. Its invention was to combat the "The Great Depression". It was invented along with welfare to help America's elderly, disabled, and unemployed.
