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.
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.
Fact #5
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.
The Nazi’s did not want any other country besides their allies to know what they were doing to jews.
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.
