Hitler's Holocaust
The Holocaust
The Reasons Behind the Holocaust
During World War One, The Jews did not participate in warfare or fight for Germany, instead, they focused on education and cultural development. This inceased Hitler. When Germany lost the war and surrendered to the Allies, Hitler believed that it was because of the Jews that they lost the war because the Jews did not help Germany. He thought that the Jews were a useless race and were not loyal to their country so they should be exterminated as they are only a waste of space, they were no help even in the war when Germany needed them, so Hitler conducted the Holocaust. Not only this, but Hitler believed in the Aryan Race as superior and Jews as a natural enemy of them, adding to the reasons. Hitler also included old and disabled people in the holocaust because he believed that they were too weak to fight for Germany so they were useless and best left to die.
Introduction
The Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and ended in 1945 when the Nazis were defeated by the Allied powers. The term "Holocaust," originally from the Greek word "holokauston" which means "sacrifice by fire," refers to the Nazi's persecution and planned slaughter of the Jewish people. Not only Jews but the Nazis also targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the disabled for persecution.
11 million people were killed during the Holocaust. Six million of these were Jews (2/3 of Jews in Europe). 1.1 million children were also murdered in the Holocaust.
The Beginning
On April 1, 1933, the Nazis instigated their first action against German Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses.
The Nuremberg Laws, issued on September 15, 1935, began to exclude Jews from public life. The Nuremberg Laws included a law that stripped German Jews of their citizenship and a law that prohibited marriages between Jews and Germans. The Nuremberg Laws set the legality for further anti-Jewish action.
