BY:VICTORIA RENTERIA 3RD
WHY WERE THE JEWS HATED?
- Back then, the Jews were hated by many people and countries. One reason why people hated the Jews was because they think that they killed Jesus, people would call them "Christ killers."
A big reason why people hated the Jews is because of their race. For some reason, it seemed to bother many countries that they weren't a race, because anybody could become a Jew.The Jews were also scapegoats, this means the people who would be blamed for other's mistakes.
During the years of World War I, the Germans lost and were outraged. Years later, Hitler convinced many citizens that it was the Jews fault that they lost, so many agreed with him that Hitler gained power.
THESIS
- In the year 1933, Hitler rose to power with the Nazi Party, thus leading to the Holocaust.
Adolf Hitler
- Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, and he lived in Braunau, Austria. When Hitler was little, he was very poor and he was living in poverty. In 1913, Hitler decided to move to Germany to go and join the German army.
While he was there, he was rewarded many medals of bravery. After that, Hitler joined a group called "the German Workers Party," he then convinced them that it was the Jews fault that the Germans lost World War I.
They decided to agree with him and Hitler became the leader of that group, they were later known as the Nazi Party. Hitler wasn't a very good speaker, but with some practice, he got a lot better.
With his loud and persuading speeches, he got many people to agree with him. Many believed that it really was the Jews fault that the Germans had lost World War I.
Treaty of Versailles
- In 1919, after the Germans had lost World War I, the Germans had to take care of all the destruction on their land. Since the French had won the war, they could decide what the countries could do.
They Germans had to pay for their damage, and give thirteen percent of their land to the countries around it. The French did this because they wanted to keep Germany weak. The Germans had no other choice, so they had to pay, but they didn’t enjoy it.
The Holocaust
- Once Hitler had persuaded many to agree with him, he gained power. In 1933, Hitler became the chancellor of Germany and had the Nazi party as his army.
After that, they did that they started making the concentration camps.The concentration camps were places to lock up Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, and political opponents. This is when the Holocaust began, 1933, before World War II, it was from 1933-1945.
Next, the Nazis made ghettos and forced-labor camps, they locked up the same people as they did in the concentration camps. In 1941, Germany took over the Soviet Union.
In 1942, Hitler wanted a way to get rid of all the Jews, the plan was then called "The Final Solution." Hitler and the Nazi Party sent millions of Jews to many killing centers.
The Nazi Party would put the Jews in rooms that would be filled with poisonous gas, they would also kill the prisoners by shooting them. The Nazi Party and others killed about 2,700,000 Jews at the killing centers.
In 1944, the Nazis made the prisoners exit the concentration camps by foot. They had to walk a long way, and the watchers would shoot or kill the prisoners if they decided to give up.
The prisoners had to walk on a cold, hard, strong winter on the year 1944-1945. The Germans thought that they would all die before they got to the end, because this March was their plan to get rid of them too.
The Germans shot hundreds of people, and thousands died of hunger, exhaustion, and of exposure. In all, about 250,00-375,000 died from the death marches.
Aftermath
- In conclusion, the Holocaust ended on 1945, this was also when World War II ended. There were about six million Jews killed in total during the Holocaust.
