1. From these laws, the Nazi attitudes toward women and marriage were:
- Women were to be the homemakers, cooking, cleaning, keeping house, and taking care of their children.
- Marriages between Jews and nationals of German, and relations outside marriage between Jews and nationals of German were forbidden.
- Marriages between the nationals of German were encouraged.
2. These laws suggest about the basis of personal and national identity in the Nazi mind-set:
- Anybody who had German “pure blood” was respected, and they were good.
- Only nationals of German could do important things for Germany. Jews had to serve nationals of German.
- Only people who had German “pure blood” were the nationals of German.

Introduction Throughout World War 2 Germany was living and thriving in a sea of repression. 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.
“Homeland is something one becomes aware of only through its loss, Gunter Grass.” In Peter Gay’s memoir, My German Question, he articulates what it was like living in Germany with the presence of the Nazis or in his own experience the lack there of. Peter lived in a family that didn’t directly practice Judaism and most German families didn’t perceive them as Jews until the Nazis defined what a Jew was to the public. The persecution of other Jewish families in Germany where far worse than what Peter experienced growing up. There was a major contrast between how Gay’s family was treated and how other Jews who actively practiced the religion in Germany were treated which played a contributing factor for why the family stayed so long before they left.
I learned that Nazi Germany were so heartless that they would separate their own families to even make the matter worse. “All the skilled workers had already been sent to other camps”(46). This made me realize that the strong, Jews, were more likely to live than the weak ones. The weak, old Jews didn’t have a choice, but to die. “On the other hand, the dentist seemed more conscientious: he asked me to open my mouth wide.
The first dehumanizing act the Nazis perpetrate on the Jews is removing the normality from their everyday life. In Spring 1941, “German Army vehicles made their appearance” (Wiesel 9) on the streets of Sighet, yet the Jews showed no anguish. However, the harmony is short-lived; “the race toward death had begun” (Wiesel 10). The Nazis enforce rules that strip the Jews of their humanity: “jews were prohibited from
Nole Ehrhardt Motifs: 1.Legalized Discrimination Hein ¾ 2.Community “Tell Them We Remember” “German-African children were killed by the Nazis because they were viewed as an inferior race,” says Susan Bachrach in Tell Them We Remember, page 12. To start off, the book is about the black, white and bloody facts about everything that happened during the Holocaust. Now, Susan used the motifs of Legalized discrimination and community to show the that “discrimination puts people into separated social communities.” FIrst, the motif of Legalized Discrimination is shown when it states that the Nazis passed a law that restricted all civilian jobs to “Aryans,” the “perfect race”(Susan Bachrach page 12) THis upholds the theme
Throughout the Nazi regime in Europe from 1943 to 1945, many Jews opposed Hitler’s policies by engaging in acts of physical, mental and spiritual resistance. Many non-Jews also stood by the Jews in opposing Hitler’s government and his policies. These people helped many Jews escape ghettos and concentration camps. However, there were also many Jewish people who did not resist the Nazi’s and fell victim to their rule. Many non-Jews did not help the Jewish people and simply followed the regime by ignoring the atrocities that the Jews faced throughout the Nazi regime.
As a result of the Nazi’s disregard for the Jews, they were stripped not only of their humanity but also of their chance at
This essay will discuss the impact of pseudoscientific ideas of race on the Jewish nation by the nazi germany during the period 1933 to 1946. And the Jews were affected, During the period of 1933 to 1946 in Germany it was the rise of the Nazi party and the implementation of policies that were based on pseudoscientific ideas of race. The Nazi regime believed that the superiority of the Aryan race and fought to eliminate those they saw as inferior, including the Jewish people. This led to the persecution and murder of millions of Jews during the Holocaust. The impact of the pseudoscientific ideas of race on the Jewish nation was bad and harsh.
The Hungarian police made us climb into the cars, eighty persons in each one” (Wiesel 22). Referring back to the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”, the Nazis violate countless rights amongst the acts they committed. There is no greater loss than that of humanity, so one can never truly relate to the
The Germans destroyed most documentation that did exist before the end of the war.” This quote illustrates that the German citizens couldn’t have known much, since it was kept very secret. The text, “ 75 years later, why did Germans follow the Nazis into Holocaust?” also talks about how most Germans didn’t like the Jews but were not okay with mass murder. The text states, “Germans constantly deliberated questions of race, authority, and loyalty.
Many Germans, during WWII had started to take on the ideology of Hitler – that Jewish citizens in Germany were the cause of their poverty and misfortune. Of course, many knew that this was merely a form of scapegoating, and although they disagreed with the majority of Germany’s citizens, many would not speak up for fear of isolation (Boone,
All in all the Nazis' act of taking away the Jew’s identities is an extremely large part of Hilter’s plan to dehumanize the Jewish
The Third Reich, referring to Hitler’s reign and Germany being under Nazi rule between the years 1933-1945, is often referred to as a totalitarian state. A totalitarian state is a system of government in which all power is centralized and does not allow any rival authorities, and the state controls every corner of individual lives with absolute power. Nazi Germany has been referred to as an excellent example of this type of government. This essay will analyse five aspects of Nazi Germany to determine whether it truly exhibited the totalitarian style of government.
Analyzing Hoss’ childhood to his time in prison is very important because it shows how Hoss was shaped into obeying orders from higher authority and how he developed a sense of duty and devotion to protecting Germany. Hannah Arendt, the author of Origins of Totalitarianism, explains that National Socialism was a totalitarian ideology that built itself on the idea that higher authority from Himmler and Hitler was never to be judged whether they were right or wrong because by following these orders
