GENOCIDE INTHE 20THCENTURY NAZI HOLOCAUST WOOSHIN CHO SOCIAL 10 BLOCK D
The mass murder of some 6 million European Jews by the German Nazi regime during the Second World War. To the anti-Semitic Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, an alien threat to German racial purity and community. After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews were consistently persecuted, Hitler s final solution now known as the Holocaust came to fruition under the cover of world war, with mass killing centers constructed in the concentration camps of occupied Poland. WHAT HAPPENED?
WHERE DID IT OCCUR? It occurred in Germany.
Jews Jypsies Slavic (Poles, Russians) Communists WHO WAS TARGETED? Physically disabled Jehovah s witnesses Trade unionists Catholics Homosexuals
WHEN DID IT OCCUR? It occurred on 1933 1945. It occurred on 1933 1945.
HOW DID IT OCCUR? The Nazis believed that exterminating the Jews was justified because the Jews were not only a 'low' and 'evil' race, but were affecting the lives of the Germans negatively. Hitler and the Nazis blamed them for all the social and economic problems in Germany. As the 'pure Aryan race', it was therefore their right and obligation to get rid of the Jews. Anti-Semitism was a large part of the Nazis ideas. Hitler wanted to exterminate all Jews. Many people in Germany supported the Nazis and their racist ideas.
WHY DID IT OCCUR? In a more modern form, at the end of the 19th century, a racist- biological anti-Semitism was developed, where the Jews were perceived as a deformity on the body politic . The Jews were also increasingly perceived as a specific problem to society, a problem that needed solving if the nation were to survive.
WHAT WAS THE WORLDS RESPONSE? The American press had printed scores of articles detailing mistreatment of the Jews in Germany. By 1942, many of these newspapers were reporting details of the Holocaust, stories about the mass murder of Jews in the millions. For the most part, these articles were only a few inches long, and were buried deep in the newspaper. These reports were either denied or unconfirmed by the United States government. When the United States government did receive irrefutable evidence that the reports were true, U.S. government officials suppressed the information. U.S. reconnaissance photos of the Birkenau camp in 1943 showed the lines of victims moving into the gas chambers, confirming other reports. The War Department insisted that the information be kept classified.
