Argumentative Essay On Antisemitism

1030 Words5 Pages

• Anti-Semitic Policies
The topic that I will cover on during my essay is Antisemitism. I chose this topic because of its intimacy relevantly to my Christian life. I grew up at home a Christian, knowing nothing but church, by so doing, I got to know the Jews religious beliefs and routines that are compiled in a book called the Bible better and started to put some of them in practice. Another thing that I have noticed about the Jews is that they are strict about their religion, meaning they are optimistic people and respect God, they believe in God’s word of promise no matter what obstacles.

Where did that come from?’’ (Friedman, 2014). In order for one to understand this mysterious controversy of anti-Semitism, one should clearly have an understanding and intentions of its target, which that is Jewish. He further went on to elaborate, on who really are the Jewish people, what is Judaism? Is it a religion, family culture or a nation? Which I think also that the lines are blurred when it comes to that question. What is it that really made or make people hate the Jews so much. Maybe Jews are hated because they are famously known as the “chosen people” according to the Bible. Maybe that is the nature of the hatred. But I still feel like that is not the good reason to throw shades at somebody and also don’t believe that Jewish people are the chosen one by God. Jew is just a created term, or condition. The things that was created by God is stones, grass, trees, animals and human. It is not said in the bible that God said “let there be light, let there be humans” and “let there be

Hitler and his followers blamed the Jewish for many things that had gone wrong during World War 1 and the germans believed that the Jewish needed to be punished for that. Nazi’ started forcing the Jewish out of their houses, stealing their valuables, transporting them in overpacked transport cars, relocating them to concentration camps, and it is at those concentration camps where they were starved, beaten, and destroyed. Before all of these actions were able to happened Hitler’s SS officers had to be trained to repress the Jewish and it is from that point of view that you should “read” my documents. In Elie Wiesel’s book “Night” we were told that the reason that the Jewish did not fight back was because they could not believe that human beings could do such things and that is why I chose to write my documents from the view of a SS officer who is completing his training and learning how to treat the Jewish.

    A long time ago, people who were Jewish had to face a crucial discrimination ever since others blamed them for killing Jesus.

No one, especially including the Jews, should be raced or hurt by any opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. Throughout the movie, Sister Rose encourages everyone to “Be an Upstander, Not a Bystander” for the Jews.

  • Anti-Semitism In The Holocaust

    1400 Words  | 6 Pages

    The Holocaust is a shining example of Anti-Semitism at its best and it was no secret that the Nazis tried to wipe out the Jews from Europe but the question is why did the Nazis persecute the Jews and how did they try to do it. This essay will show how the momentum, from a negative idea about a group of people to a genocide resulting in the murder of 6 million Jews, is carried from the beginning of the 19th Century, with pseudo-scientific racial theories, throught the 20th century in the forms of applied social darwinism and eugenics(the display of the T4 programme), Nazi ideas regarding the Jews and how discrimination increased in the form of the Nuremberg Laws , Kristallnacht, and last but not least, The Final Solution. Spanning throughout the 19th century, racial theories were seen. Pseudo-Scientific theories such as Craniometry,where the size of one’s skull determines one’s characteristics or could justifies one’s race( this theory was used first by Peter Camper and then Samuel Morton), Karl Vogt’s theory of the Negro race being related to apes and of how Caucasian race is a separate species to the Negro race, Arthur de Gobineau’s theory of how miscegenation(mixing or interbreeding of different races) would lead to the fall of civilisation.
