Nazi Tactics The Holocaust was a serious incident in which millions of Jews were killed in concentration camps and ghettos because of the rise of Nazi Germany, and its leader Adolf Hitler. In the book, Shores Beyond Shores, written by Irene Butter, she captures how horrendous life was in Nazi Germany throughout its rise. Irene Butter recalls her life as a young girl not understanding the true danger of what is approaching.
Niree’ Miller Mrs.Cannady English 2 Honors 4 March 2016 Holocaust In the 1940’s the Germans wanted to take rights and terminate the Jews. Some people tried to save Jews and help them by hiding them in their houses. Germans put over 6 million Jews in concentration camps and made them do work without pay, little food, and water. Women and very little children often got sent to gas chambers upon arrival.
Without a doubt, the camps were built to alienate the prisoners, into the belief that they
Hard power was utilized by the Nazi regime in many ways during the Holocaust. Six million Jewish people were massacred by the Nazi regime in Germany during the Holocaust, a period of organized extermination that took place during World War Two. By using "hard power," and force to advance the Nazis' goals of racial dominance and purity, the Holocaust was made possible. This included the usage of concentration camps, where captives experienced awful conditions, forced work, and medical exams.
According to Hitler and the Nazi party, the Jewish community weren’t people and they were just objects. Hitler found the Jewish community unpleasant and a disgrace to the world.
There were many different kinds of camps including concentration camps, extermination camps, forced labor camps, and even prisoner of war camps. Concentration camps are one of the most commonly known of these. Torture was a very large factor in all of the early camps and the inmates inside the camps were all regularly beaten and or humiliated. In addition to this, access to facilities was often withheld as a form of torture and control. In the concentration camps, inmates were subjected to brutal torture and beatings almost daily along with many different forms of hard back-breaking labor.
Children poisoned by educated physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women and babies shot by high school and college graduates.” - A letter from a Holocaust survivor Adolf Hitler’s concentration camps and Joseph Stalin’s gulags have similar conditions and atmospheres. A gulag is a system of labor camps maintained in the former Soviet Union from 1930 to 1955.
Using hatred as a way to rally the German population to their cause, the Nazi Party was able to advance the elimination of Jews. The anger and hate of the Jews induced fear in others who were afraid for their own safety. Fear of the Jews themselves allowed a path to anger, which would lead to hatred and the suffering of others. Yoda’s quote from Star Wars, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger.
On September 31, 1939, Germany, a strong Axis force, invaded Poland to regain lost territory and eventually for Hitler, the German Fuhrer, to have the ability to govern Poland as well as Germany. In Poland, Hitler did set up concentration camps for anyone who wanted to liberate Poland for Germany. Some Polish citizens were eventually killed, to keep Germany safe from Polish people who would want to fight back against the Germans. On December 7, 1941, Japan, another Axis force, attacked another country and bombed Pearl Harbor, an American Naval base in Hawaii.
The Nazis did this because they discriminate and hate the Jews. “German authorities established camps to handle the masses of people arrested as alleged subversives.” (www.ushmm.org) Germany blamed the Jews for their loss of World War I. “Concentration camps held two purposes, these purposes were to demoralize and dehumanize the prisoners.” (www.owlspace-ccm.rice.edu) The Nazis tortured them and made them break on the inside.
Hitler also changed the religious culture in many parts of Europe. One of Hitler’s main goals while in office was to eliminate the jewish and any other non-aryan people. In the process, Hitler made The Nuremberg Laws. Adolf Hitler, “implemented these laws to ostracize, discriminate and expel Jews from German society” (3) Diverse culture was rejected. Physically, the people of Germany, mostly jews, were affected because of Hitler trying to make the population one master race.
This was such a tragic time in history and we should all be thankful that our world isn 't like this. The Concentration Camps were made because Hitler hated the jews and wanted to kill all and they were kind of brainwashing them to tell them it is a wonderful place to live. When they were making the camps the Nazis would go around just shooting people for no reason. So Hitler and the Nazis captured the majority of the Jews and put them into these camps saying they should be here and that they deserve to died and it is all their fault.
Jews were moved to the camps to either work or be killed (Veil 113). The Nazis also wanted to keep the children, but only twins because the Nazi scientist wanted to experiment on them (Veil 115). The Nazis had a plan called the System of Death where they told all the Jews that they were going to take showers and clean off and the Nazis took them to a medium sized room where they all stripped down getting ready for showers. The Nazis would then put some Zyklon B pellets into the chamber where it reacted with the oxygen in the air and turned into chlorine gas and all the Jews were dead in minutes. They then would force some other Jews to carry the bodies to the crematorium where the bodies would be
Propaganda, terror and repression played a significant role in the Nazi regime. Hitler used each to supplement and complement each other with the main focus to make Hitler appear a strong, powerful and all-knowing man who was in favour of the Nazi vision of the ‘national community’. This all impacted the German people by preserving support for Nazism and ensuring that the community that didn 't agree with the Nazi regime would not be heard by any
At camp they would work untill the Nazi’s thought it was time to kill them. During 1933 the Nazis started to establish a network of camps. They were concentration camps due to the fact that they were used to concentrate enemies and certain groups of people in one place all together. Not one was better than the other for the Jews though, they all were gonna eventually gonna get killed by either sickness or the Nazi’s. The camps were not kept well, they were kept dirty and nasty cause it did not make a difference if they were clean or not to the
