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.
