The main way that Hitler controlled the Jews was through force and terror.

In one of their first real experiences to the German soldiers they were forced to wait for hours while the German ss counted every Jewish citizen. In the story Ellie says at one point “ we were put in cattle cars 100 to a car” the people barely had space to breath in such tight space cramped against 100 other skinny people. They would wait in their own waste till they reach their next location throwing any dead out into the snow with no berial along the way.

Some people had money to smuggle food into the ghettos. During winter there wasn’t enough heating so this made them more prone to catching diseases. Any gatherings in the ghettos where held as threat.

Six million humans died. They died in the holocaust at the hands of evil. They were dehumizied and need to be remember for how they were treated and what they went through because of what they could’ve done in the world. The holocaust was the mass murder of six million jews and millions of other people leading up to and during world war two. The killings took place in europe between 1933 and 1945.

Dehumanization is the process of depriving a person or a group of positive human qualities. This process was widely used across concentration camps in Nazi Germany. Hitler used this tactic to gain power over the people he imprisoned. Dehumanization is a disturbing process that nobody should have to endure and its terrible that so many innocent people had to experience it. Dehumanization makes people lose the will to live and made it easier for the Nazi’s to exterminate the Jews.

This particular propaganda convinced adults and kids that jews needed to be exterminated from Germany to reach its goals. Hitler set out to rid Germany of the Slavs, Romas, gays, jews, and others that did not fit his idea so he used propaganda to convince them of it ( the rise of the nazis 60 ). Hitler’s use of propaganda did not only effect the jews and unwanted, it, according to the book Tell Them We Remember the Story of the Holocaust, “ the executioners were ‘oridinary men’ who followed the orders of their commanding officers.” “ some killers drank heavily to dull their thoughts and feelings “ (susan d.

The Nazi party normalized antisemitism and hate speech. That created ethical issues and dilemmas for the German community. Moral dilemmas of this nature are destructive as they can change someone’s life for the worst. Enabling hate speech and other forms of abhorrence made killing innocent people acceptable. Hitler implemented harsh policies that led to World War II and the mass murders of Jews.

He had a goal for his time of rule; execute all of the Jews in Europe, and he did just about that by murdering two-thirds of their population. Hitler thought of the Germans as a more superior race than the Jews.

Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel had experienced this when he was captured by the Nazi and taken to the camps. Concentration camps were probably the most inferior place in the world. Torture did not begin with the camps though. The fear that the Nazis would come for them would eat the Jews lives’ out. Then, when the Nazi captured the Jews, they had to go through the transportation which was another type torment.

Overall, the concentration camps were the most brutal and notorious camps throughout

The Nazis organized these camps and picked some Jews that were bilingual to help run them, Kapos. Kapos were also punished if they didn’t obey orders. To punish the Jews even more, the Nazis made sure the conditions

As the prisoners would travel from camp to camp on carts, many would end up dead from either starvation, body temperature, or both. The Germans would leave the dead bodies lying around for days upon days eventually they were picked up and put into the oven to burn. Many people living in the camps not only saw death everywhere they also could smell death in the air from all the ashes and smoke coming from the ovens.

The Jewish kids were the ones who smuggled in food because they fit in small holes inside the wall. The only amount of food they were given was a small amount of bread, fat, or potatoes. Although Jews did not have any belongings, they still found a way to survive.
