Why were the Jews targeted by the Nazi’s?
-
- Jews were considered the dominant race which made Germans very jealous. Germans were the chosen people of the world, Hitler saw this as an opportunity to completely wipe out their entire race in europe.
Who was Adolf Hitler?
Hitler was born on April 20th 1889 in Austria. He is the leader of the Nazi party, chancler, and fuhra of Germany. It took Hitler almost 10 years to plan this tragic incident. His plan was extremely organised and wasn’t done overnight. He split german into many groups and was doing many things at once. While he was collecting jews, he was also taking over a country at the same time.
Why do we need to remember the Holocaust?
Holocaust is unique because unlike other camps, the Jews were meant to be murdered and be experimented on, not to be kept away.
More than 9 million jews vanished from this world. This is not about the amount people killed, it’s about how unique this was. Ghenis Khan killed 40 million people. The holocaust is unique because Hitler didn’t like a certain race and he wanted them gone.
We must remember the haulocost because it
happened. Because it happened, we must understand the evil, the systematic evil, the state-sponsored evil, industrialized killing, mass murders that were the essence of the Holocaust. We must understand its emblematic invention, the death camp, and the people who served in these camps.
-We must remeber the holocauust also because murder is the greatest crime that can be committed. The Holocaust was not the single murder of six million people, but six million individual murders. Remembering the Holocaust is an important act in itself, and honouring its victims, both Jews and gentiles, particularly those with no family left to remember them, is a further reason why the work of the British Holocaust Commission will be so important.
-We must remember the holocauust also because nobody saw it coming Jews were well integrated into German society over the course of several hundred years. German Jews felt relatively safe prior to the rise of Nazism; even after Hitler became chancellor, they could not have known what was coming.
-The holocaust took a decade to plan out and to be used The nightmarish ideology of the Third Reich did not develop overnight, yet the actual timeline of escalation is horrifyingly short. Adolf Hitler took power in January 1933. Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, was in November 1938. By 1941, the Nazis’ “Final Solution” was under way. By 1945, it was over.
-There are still people out there sending messages and signs even today .In recent years, we have seen a huge amount of surge in antisemitism. FBI statistics on hate crimes show that crimes against Jews in 2017 accounted for more than half of all hate crimes against any religious group.
In October, 11 worshipers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh were gunned down because they were Jewish.
The year 2017 saw a 37% increase in antisemitic hate crime – rising for the third year in a row. Meanwhile, a recent CNN poll revealed that 1 in 20 Europeans had never heard of the Holocaust.
Why was the German strategy so effective on the Jews in the concentration camps (NOT THE ARMY)?
- Jews were put into forced labor in the camps
- Jews were experimented on to improvise medical treatments on the troops on the field
- By wiping out the Jews, it gives Hitler and his troops motivation
- Propaganda was also used to defame the Jews
