Jewish Perspective

Jewish Perspective

Before Hitler’s “Final Solution,” over nine million Jews lived in countries that the Germans would soon be occupying. Within these nations, Jews lived as a minority, with their own language, which was a combination of German and Hebrew called Yiddish, and they read books and watched movies in this language.

Jews were being put to blame for Germany’s defeat in World War I, as well as other issues that Germans faced many years ago, such as the Black Plague, and many were being injured and even killed.

Nazi soldiers boycotted Jewish-owned stores, putting signs on their doors telling citizens not to buy anything from these stores. Jews were prohibited from being in relationships with non-Jews, which was to prevent any offspring which came from the Jewish descent.

During the “Night of Broken Glass,” thousands of Jewish buildings and synagogues were trashed and destroyed, and just the next day tens of thousands of Jews were sent to concentration camps.

These concentration camps, or slave-labor units, were prisons for German and other European Jews, and they were responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent Jewish citizens. The Holocaust led to over six million Jews murdered, all of which were only killed because they were different from the Germans, and used as scapegoats for all of Germany’s problems.

Non-Jewish Perspective

Non-Jewish

Perspective

Before Hitler and the Nazi party, Jewish people were the more successful people in German life. Many decorated and honored soldiers of World War I were jewish, 14 of 38 German Nobel prize winners were Jewish

These achievements were all made by Jewish people who made up less than 1% of the population. More German people were marrying Jewish people until Nazis started boycotts and blaming Jews for all their problems.

Passing laws not giving natural rights to all people but only to the “Perfect” people. When Mein Kampf was published it gave Non-Jewish Germans the ideas that they deserve more.

People saw that in the small population of jewish people was accomplishing so much, “stealing” what should be theirs. These ideas gave confidence to the Germans that they could do what they wanted, gaining the power they had before World War I.

Facts about concentration/ death camps

Concentration/ Death Camps Facts

Fact #5

The Germans had a deliberate starvation diet to all of the prisoners of war, so once allied troops found these concentration camps, most of them were so skinny because they had not eaten anything for a long time.

Fact #1

Fact #2

Although Jews were the main target of the german genocide, other people were also targeted. Under the Nazis, Romani (Gypsy) families in major cities were rounded up, fingerprinted and photographed, and forced to live in special camps under police guard.

Fact #3

Groups of christians were sent because of their beliefs and how they don't obey the government. Homosexuals were also sent because Nazis thought they were threatening them by not reproducing aryans.

Fact #4

Prisoners were forced to march long distances in bitter cold, with little or no food, water, or rest. Those who could not keep up were shot. The largest death marches took place in the winter of 1944-1945, when the Soviet army began its liberation of Poland.

The ghettos served as bases for utilizing Jewish labor, as did forced-labor camps for Jews in occupied Poland.

Fact #6

The Nazis exploited the forced labor of "enemies of the state" for economic gain. Labor shortages in the German war economy became critical especially after German defeat in the battle of Stalingrad in 1942-1943

Looking through the eyes of a European Jew

The Nazis classified the Jews as a group of people that converted from Judaism to another religion. Among them the grandparents of Roman Catholic priests, nuns, and ministers were Jewish. About 400,000 held German citizenship and about 70% of them lived in urban areas.

They were found in most occupations such as farmers, tailors, seamstress, factory hands, accountants, doctors, teachers, and small business owners. Many children ended their education early to work in craft or trade but some stayed and went to universities.

The Jew's lives before the Holocaust were very equal and they had the same amount of respect. When the Nazis came to power in Germany, their lives changed and the Jews became a very big victim. For example, the Jew’s writings were being thrown into huge bonfires because of the strong censorship.

The Nazi propaganda also spread to the education of children. Books were replaced with newly written textbooks that taught students to blindly follow the ideas of the one political party and antisemitism. The Jew’s lives were forever changed because of the propaganda and they became a huge victim of the Holocaust.

Looking through the eyes of a European Non-Jew

The Nazi’s did not want any other country besides their allies to know what they were doing to jews.

Looking through the eyes of European Non-Jew

The government censored all forms of media and used propaganda to tell the german people that the jews are to blame for all the suffering they have gone through. A lot of Germans knew what was happening to the jews, but kept their mouths closed because they feared Hitler and the consequences of telling another country.

Most of the people did not do anything because they feared Hitler as a ruler and did not want to oppose his power. Some ways the non jewish people could have helped out the jews were to tell people in other countries about what is going on and hopefully stopping it, or take action to your own hand and help them break free or provide them with resources.

But there were some people that did not fear Hitler and decided to rebel. These actions could be blowing up rail lines and destroying trains that give the Germans resources, some people even decided to break some jews out because they knew this was happening and felt that it was not right.

To us, the word holocaust means getting rid of a specific population by mass destruction or slaughter. The holocaust is constantly remembered as one of the largest mass wiping of a race. It is also because the jews were put to blame all of Germany’s problems and they were an easy scapegoat.
