1. Examine how Germany's anti-sematic policies evolved during 1933 and 1945, what facilitated the changes and above all, why it was allowed to happen? The Holocaust was a horrific tragedy that killed nearly 6 million Jewish civilians. It took place for a number of the reasons. Germany had proven to be an anti-Semitic country for centuries and Jews were used as scapegoats for German problems. Centuries of Nazi persecution cause the Holocaust particularly in 1933-1939 as well as Adolf Hitler and his

in Nazi Germany (“Himmler”). Himmler oversaw all the operations of the Nazi state, by bringing up the SS into a prominent position therefore making him a key figure in the atrocities committed by the Nazi Party using the SS and its agencies. Reinhard

was to get rid of any threats to the German rule. On July 31, 1941, the Nazi leader Hermann Goering told General Reinhard Heydrich to make the preparations for the execution. Autumn of 1941, Heinrich told German General Odilo Globocnik to proceed with the plan to murder all of the Jews in the General government. The plan’s name was Operation Reinhard and it was named after Heydrich. A big part of the plan was the killing centers. The names of the killing centers are Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka

Taking the lives of innocent people is a cruel act usually associated with hate and revenge. It is also loathed by society. However, in Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, she gets readers to sympathize with crimeful characters. In this case, specifically, the creature and his irresponsible creator, Victor Frankenstein.

The SS and the filmmakers embarrassed the Jews by disrespecting their religion: making men and women wash their sins in a holy bath, and giving little portions of food so they would starve.
