...| How and why did the Nazi treatment of Jews change between the years 1933 and 1945? | Curran De Braganca | How and why did the Nazi treatment of Jews change between the years 1933 and 1945? Most of us have heard of the Nazi party’s horrific, genocidal regime on destroying the Jewish race, but what events led up to their dire judgement? In this study I aim to uncover the events, reasons and changes which led to the Holocaust and the further changes in the treatment of the Jewish race by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. In the aftermath of the First World War, Germany is under the Judgment of the Allies as a result of Allied victory Germany is being blamed for most of the war, The Treaty of Versailles stated that they: * Are to pay compensation to the Allies: £6.6 Million, which was well over Germany’s financial capacity at the time. * Portions of Germany’s land has been claimed and will distributed under Allied power to form new nations and also will be given to allied nations who lost land during the war. * Germany’s army will be reduced to only 100,000 men plus their naval vessels have been limited to 6 capital ships. The west of Rhineland had been Demilitarised and occupied by Allied forces. * Germany was not allowed to join with Austria to boost its economy. These were only just a few of the terms of the treaty. In Germany, many people were ‘pointing fingers’ and putting the blame on others, one group of people however, is taking...

...All Germans must die for what they did to the Jews, right? For putting the Jews through torture, the endless days of pain and agony. Only the men and women who were eligible to work were to live. Many women, children, and elder were sent to die. Living in concentration camps, not knowing when their last day will be. The Jews have lost their lives in the most cruel ways possible. Dying of disease, being shot, hangings, and sending them to burn in chambers. What if the Germans weren’t aware of what was going on? They were completely clueless of what was happening. The Germans were not responsible for the Holocaust. Before the ending of WWII, The Germans took a survey regarding their knowledge of the Holocaust. They surveyed throughout Cologne, Dresden, and Berlin. 9.85% of the Germans knew about the Holocaust, which is 255 people. 85.12% Germans didn’t know about the Holocaust, 2,289 people had no idea what was happening to the Jews. Should the ones who didn’t know be the ones to blame? The one’s to blame are the ones who knew about the Holocaust. Why didn’t the Germans stand up for the Jews? They knew about it, so why didn’t they say anything? The Germans had great fear of Hitler. They feared o stand up for the Jews. They risked their life if they were to do so. You can’t blame all the Germans for the Holocaust. You should blame the one’s who knew about the torture the Jews had gone through. They’re the one’s who should’ve spoken up. If they were to stand...

... Germany invaded western Poland as a result of the intransigence between both countries. World War II ravaged civilians more severely than any previous conflict, and served as the justification for genocidal killings by Nazi Germany, under the order of Hitler. To fully understand how Hitler attained the support of a nation to agree with his ideology, one must know the conditions before the wake of World War II, and how Hitler instilled influential ideas of national pride. In this essay, I intend on showing why it is important to understand a certain aspect of World War II. I will first focus on establishing the importance of knowing what events led Germany into the circumstances it was in prior to World War II. Accordingly, I will then analyze Hitlers ideology, and why it is vital to understand his point of view. That being the case, I will then narrow the focus on the genocidal killing of Jews by Hitler, and emphasize the importance of understanding why this was happening. From there I will probe through the writings of Hitler in his work of Mein Kampf, and discuss how knowing...

...Strange. Bruno asking me about the other side of the concentration camp. Why would he ask me this in the first place? The main thing Bruno needs to know is that we must never interact with the men and children on the other side of the fence, for they are jews and should never speak to us. We are the opposite of the jews on the other side of that fence. The fence isn't there to stop us from going over there, It's to stop them from coming over here. I concentrate on the various maps I have pasted on the walls and the newspapers for hours at a time before I start to pin important locations in Germany. The Fury (Hitler) told me it's good to be educated on today's news in Germany. Lots of it hasto do with jews. The jews on the other side of the fence belong to be their- to be abused, to be suffering, and to be in great pain....

...Hate has happened plentiful times, plentiful ways, and in plentiful places. a few things people hate today are traffic, morning alarms, and small talk(work cited).This is not about small hatreds. This is about the most well-known hatreds in history, the hate for the Jewish people. Judaism has been around for plentiful years. They believe in only one god, the god of Israel. The most well known jewish holidays are Hanukkah and Shabbat, yet they have plentiful others. The religion started from the covenant between their god and Abraham. This is what the Jewish belief is built on. Now, why are Jews the, even now, hated. One of the main reasons is that Jews had a higher amount of successful than other people. This led to jealousy of what they...

...up for themselves and do something about the hate and political lies. The Jewish Holocaust is another example of genocide and many suffered due to intolerance of others. Nazi propaganda lead to Nazi ideology, Nuremberg laws, and anti-semitism which justified genocide and caused 6.3 million Jews dead. Ultimately, Nazi propaganda was a big role in a 12 year tragedy called the Jewish Holocaust. Nazi ideology united the germans and economy growth. Also, Nuremberg laws created mistrust over the non-Jews, Jews, and Nazis. Lastly, anti-semitism was another form of propaganda and it made many grow a hatred for Jews. These were a few reasons why the Holocaust was caused. Nazi ideology: Nazi ideology was a mixture of...

...Holocaust History Danish Holocaust history has gone through remarkable shifts in how the event has been perceived. Originally, Denmark’s rescue of the majority of their Jews had been a heroic tale of Danish goodwill. More recently this idealistic view of the Danish Holocaust has been reexamined and scrutinized. There reasons surrounding why Danish Holocaust history is different from all of the other occupied European countries is very complex. Denmark was able so successful, not solely because of their character, but because of a multitude of factors which combined in a way that allowed an environment for Jewish rescue from deportation. At the surface Danish Holocaust history is presented as a light in the darkness...

...to come out of darkness and see the light? When I started to read Romans chapter 2 it wasn’t clear to whom Paul is actually talking. From verse 17 I understood that the fictitious dialogue partner of Paul is actually a Jew (as it says: “Now if you call yourself a Jew…”). However, it is not as obvious to whom Paul is talking to before verse 17, since in 2,1 he refers generally to everyone. Verse 17 to 20 deals with Paul’s perception of the Jews. Because of their knowledge of the law, they think they can lead the "blind." The blind are those whose eyes are “closed before the law”, the Gentiles. From the perspective of the Jews, the "blind" are not in a position to lead a godly way of life, which is why they need leaders to show them the right path. He who is blind, lives in the dark and thus in disorientation. Orientation brings the light, and the Jews, according to Paul, are the intermediary to get there. These three verses attracted my attention as, in the second letter to the Corinthians (which is also written by Paul), he contradicts himself in a way. In these passages he talks about light and darkness, and its connection to the Jews: Verse 14 and 15 refer to the story of Moses giving the “old law” to the Jewish people. The Israelites / Jews could not see with the eyes and, because a quilt has hidden Moses' face, and thus the Old Testament. Verse 14: “Even today, when the old law of God is read it is as if a cloth still covers it. It is Christ who takes the cloth...

Corrie continues to lie in order to save the Jews because they are still...

...In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, Elie, a boy in a family of 6 was a Jew. As the war at the front came closer to their homes in the town of Sighet, the Hungarian police came to take all the Jews and present them to their fate. When all the Jews were put on the cars they kept quiet and knew it was better not to talk and not to fight, for their own sake. Resisting the Hungarians would have only lead up to trouble, in the end staying quiet was for the best. When Elie’s father announced the terrible news to all the Jews everybody was confused. By hearing the word, “transports” everyone was scared and stunned. People started to loose hope on what they should do from that point. By the next day, when transports began, Jews were being taken...

...The Belief and Denial of the Holocaust Between 1933 and 1945, an event took place that would greatly affect the world forever. Jews, homosexuals, and even Jehovah’s Witnesses were stripped of their rights, mistreated continuously, and forced to complete hard manual labor. This horrendous event led by Adolf Hitler is known as the Holocaust. The Holocaust was an event in which “Jews were separated from their communities and persecuted; and finally they were treated as less than human beings and murdered” (What Was The Holocaust?). Adolf Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany and the soldiers who were set out to annihilate anyone who did not follow social normalities. Even though there are various pictures and documents in existence showing proof...

...humankind. Not only were humans lost but also a mass amount of religious Jews were held accountable for the downfall of the German empire. Hitler was one of the main leaders of the cause of the holocaust, but in the state of South Carolina we believe the hand of one is the hand of all so Hitler could not have wanted to cause this uprising tragedy all by himself. Germans agreed and supported his theory of the mass killing of all the Jews in Europe, that’s why the holocaust was executed. During the mass destruction of the Jewish population in Germany, Christopher Browning referred to the German murders as ordinary men. Any person that I know has committed such a crime is referred to as a convict. He referred to these men in that nature because these men were young middle-aged civilians with little or no career in law justice as a police officer or any other reinforcement officer. He discovered his knowledge on the men from many different testimonials that were left behind from the frightened...
