The Nazis And The Jews Essay, Research Paper
From 1933 to 1945 the Nazi party of Germany ruled
over the German population. The Nazis (National Socialist Party) were ruled by
Adolf Hitler. The Nazis main aim was to make Germany into a stronger more
powerful country and to do this Hitler believed they must rid the country, and
even the world if he had the chance, of the Jewish population. Hitler saw the Jews,
as the cause of Germany?s fall in the First World War, according to Hitler
Germany had been victim to Jewish conspiracy. He also blamed the Jews for the fact
there were many people in Germany out of work, nearly 6,000,000.? Hitler had a master race, which were called
the Aryan race, which he believed were the only people that should lead the
world. This mater race had blonde hair, blue eyes, were strong and German,
bearing in mind Hitler did not fit into any of these categories. The Jewish
race had already had problems in Europe and many stereotypes had been formed
against them but they hadn?t had any problems for centuries. From 1933 to 1945
the Nazis murdered 6,000,000 Jews and millions of others. This tragedy, called
the Holocaust, represents the world’s most overwhelming example of intolerance.
The poster in source one is taken
from an anti-Jewish film which was called ?The Jew as they have always been
seen. This shows a picture of a stereotypical view of a Jewish person. The Jew
has a big nose, which is saying that Jews are ugly, and loosely has some
relation to crows, which have big hooked beaks and most people dislike them. In
one hand he is holding out money, showing them as moneylenders but in the other
hand he is holding a whip, which symbolises that they would get the money back
even if they had to use violence. In the top right corner there is a small map
of Germany, it has the hammer and sickle on it, which was the symbol for
communism. This is on the poster because the Jewish were associated with communism,
which is another thing the Nazis saw as bad. This poster is not a good
representation of the Jewish race because it was taken from and anti-Jewish
film and is the Nazis wanted the public to believe Jews were like. Source two is a photograph of a German classroom. It
shows the Jewish pupils in the class being humiliated in front of the class by
other German pupils. The writing on the blackboard say?s ?The Jews are our
greatest enemy.? Jewish children were often persecuted in classrooms such as
this one. ?I believe this to be evidence
that we can trust because we have already read and heard about other cases in
German schools. This source shows how the Nazis wanted to manipulate children?s
views of Jewish people from and early age. Source three shows a picture
taken from a German children?s book of how the Nazis wanted children to think
of Jews. On the left hand side of the picture there are three Jewish men looking
ugly with there big, hooked noses, they are just standing around talking which
is showing that the Nazis wanted them to been seen as lazy and worthless. Just
to the right of the old men are three crows, these crows are mirroring the
Jewish men because no one really likes crows and they are seen as dirty and
good for nothing, just how the Nazis wanted to portray the Jews. This is good
primary evidence because it was taken from the time and it is what we already
know the Nazis wanted to portray Jewish people like. Source four is a photograph of part
of the Nazi boycott of all Jewish businesses in April 1933. It shows three
German SA soldiers in front of a Jewish shop with bars in front of it. The solider
in the middle is holding a sign which say?s ?Don?t buy from Jews? This show
that it wasn?t the ordinary public that orchestrated this but the Nazi government
and army. This was just the beginning of the discrimination of the Jews. The
Jewish people could not do anything to stop this happening because they were
the minority. This photo is good evidence because it was taken at the time
everything was happening and because there is also other evidence that this
kind of thing was happening all over Germany. In source five there is a
photograph showing a German SA solider throwing a huge book onto a fire. The
fire is made out of other books, which were seen as ?un-German?. These books
were written by Jewish authors and others were books about Jewish culture. This
was a part of the Nazis cleansing of Germany?s ?un-German? thoughts through
censorship. The Nazi propaganda minister, Goebbels, organised all these types
of things. This evidence is a good piece of primary evidence because it was
taken at the time, May 10th 1933, and it has also been written about. Source six is a part of the Nuremberg
laws, which were enforced in, September 1935. These laws took all freedom away
from the Jewish people. This law was the ?Reich Citizenship Law? which stated: Only a National of Germany or
similar blood, who ?Proves by his behaviour that he is willing and ?Able loyally to serve the German people and Reich ?Is a citizen of the Reich. A Jew may not be a citizen Of the Reich. He has no vote?. He
may not fill any Public officeThe laws also said that it was illegal for Jewish people to
marry people from the Jewish master race. These laws took everything away from
Jewish people, it made them out to be second-class citizens and below every one
else. ??????????? Source seven
talks about the night of ?Kristallnacht? which translated means ?The night of
the broken glass.? During this night on November 9/10 1938, a night of violence
was launched all across Germany. Jewish people were targeted because a Jewish ÉmigrÉ,
called Herschl Grynszpan shot a Nazi diplomat in Paris as a sign of protest.
This was all the Nazis needed against the Jews and was how the night of Kristallnacht
began. Jewish people were beaten and murdered, their shops, houses and
synagogue?s were burnt and destroyed, 90 Jews were killed but many thousands were
put into concentration camps. This source tells us about how badly Jewish
people were treated, they were victimised because of something one person had
done, whereas they had been treated badly for years. In the large map in source
seven it shows all towns, which saw anti-Jewish violence, there are 50 towns on
the map. After this night all the damage the caused to buildings and such Nazis
made the Jews pay for. ??????????? In source
eight the photograph shows people building a brick wall, which sealed off the Warsaw
ghetto from the rest of the city, the photo was taken at the time in 1940. In
this section of the city there lived around 138,000 Jews where there had been
113,000 Polish people, which had been evacuated. In the Polish city of Warsaw
the Jews were hated as they were everywhere in Germany, the Nazi government
were spreading their power and invading neighbouring countries such as Poland
was one way of doing this. The Jews were being gathered into ghettos such as
this so it made it easier to deport them to concentration camps or even death
camps which was all part of the Nazis ?Final solution.? ? ??????????? ????? National
Archives and Records Administration: 238-NT-282?Jewish Civilians Rounded up in the
Warsaw Ghetto, 1943 Source Nine In 1941 the Nazis ?Final solution?
had begun this was the government?s name for there attempt to anihilate the ten
million Jewish people in Europe. From the quote in source nine by Rudolf Hoess
who was a commandant of the Auschwitz extermination camp in Germany we can see
that the soldiers in this camp had a job they had to carry out, they knew
exactly what they had to do and this operation was strict and to be carried out
at all cost?s. From the photograph we can see the horror of this operation and
how real it actually was, the dead bodies line by line, which would have been
put in mass graves or burnt. Before deciding how useful these source are we
need to know when they were both taken and if they are both from reliable
sources like for example, who was the photograph taken by were they British
German or another race. ??????????? In all the
sources you can see the way Jews were treated by the Nazi government who were
principally to blame for the prejudice against the Jews in the Second World War.
All sources show different ways the Jews were persecuted from business boycotts
to mass extermination. From all these sources I have studied I feel that the
prejudice against the Jews in Nazi Germany was learned. All the proof of this
is contained in the sources and in many other books, films and documentaries.
Without Adolf Hitler and his Nazi government I feel that the Jewish holocaust and
even World War 2 could have been avoided completely.
