Scapegoating In Arthur Miller's The Crucible

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering” summarizes the thinking behind Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. Intro to SD2: Intolerance is another way the Nazis justified the Holocaust. The differences between the Jewish people and the average German was pointed out with great hostility upon the rise of the Nazi Party.

Dehumanization of Jews Anti-Semitism has existed in Europe for many centuries but Hitler enhanced anti-Semitism during his dictatorship of Germany. Anti-Semitism, a form of Jewish racism came into action with Hitler’s support of nationalism in Germany. It changed the way the Germans saw Jewish people. The theme “how we see things” demonstrates itself through the contrast of perspective between the Nazis and their Jewish captives. Henry David Thoreau quotes that “the question is not what you look at, but what you see” which explains that different people see different things from the image of the same thing.

Background/General information of the Nazi Theories of why adolf hate the jews because the jews thought he couldn’t draw people on paintings and that ruined Adolf’s dream of becoming an artist. Also at WWI banks and large companies were controlled by jewish people. Hitler believed that the Jewish people had some conspiracy to control the world and that they would stab Germans in the back . Hitler and his soldiers believed the Jews are non-human in his eyes and thought jews were inferior to such as extent. He felt that he would be doing the world a favor by wiping out the Jewish race.

The Nazi Party was founded in 1919 and shortly after, Hitler became the leader in 1921. Adolf Hitler’s goal was to purify the German race. The holocaust includes dehumanization, organization, polarization. The Holocaust ruined the lives of so many innocent people as well as leaving a horrific dent in history by being the worst genocide in the world. The victims of the holocaust were taken to the concentration camps by train.

Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!” (The Crucible P.211). It is apparent that John Proctor would give away anything to protect his name and his pride.

This event was similar to slavery with the Native Americans when they were held against their will when the white  men was taking over. The holocaust with the jews is an example of hatred and genocide . I believe the holocaust is one of the worst event that happen to mankind history because of the nuremberg laws,propaganda,and anti-semitism     There is a lot of things the germans did  to make the jews suffer.

After World War I, Germany, forced to take responsibility for the war, was in political and economic turmoil. During this time, an infamous Adolf Hitler rose to power, promising a new and prosperous Germany and accused the Jewish population for causing Germany’s problems. Hitler’s rise to power marked a shift from mere discrimination to outright violence against the Jewish people (Wiener). Hitler and the Nazis proceeded to take measures to strip Jews of their rights to create a Germany free from "racially inferior" people. The 1935 Nuremberg laws banned German Jews from marrying or having relations with the German “master race” (“The Holocaust”).

His past involved disagreement with Jews which led to Hitler accusing the Jewish for losing the First World War and the creation of the Treaty of Versailles. With a goal in mind Hitler prepared for the Holocaust by first destroying the Treaty to free Germany, which made the mass killing possible. In the final analysis, even though the evidence points to Hitler intending and planning the Holocaust in 1925, it is still debatable due to the lack of physical evidence of Hitler ordering the Holocaust. But no matter what opinion you choose, he is still liable for the deaths of millions of Jews as the head of the Nazi

Hitler had a harsh opinion of Jews that turned his hate into an obsession. Many historians believe that the reasons behind his anti-Semitism prove that he was an insane man who blamed Jews for all the evil in the world. Hitler’s belief led to the Holocaust that killed millions of people after World War I. One of the biggest theory of why Hitler hated Jews, was because he believed them to be the cause of Germany’s loss in WWI. Hitler believes Jews were behind the ultimate victory of the Allies.

Hitler and some German socialists believed in the purity of Germans’ ethnicity; they saw Jews and Gypsies as the most dangerous threat to their race purity. When Hitler came to power, he started stripping Jews from their jobs and properties. After that, he started gathering them from all Europe, departed them to the Polish ghettoes, and gassing and killing them. By the end of WWII, he killed more than 6 million Jews. However, there were some survivors who witnessed the whole catastrophic story of the Holocaust.

Did you know that eleven million people died in the holocaust? Six million of those people were Jews. The Jews were captured and taken to concentration camps because the Nazis simply hated them. Concentration camps were made to kill off all of the Jews. They did this because they saw them as a problem to Germany.

During the Holocaust, certain events followed that builds up the suspense that affected the Jews. For example, the Night of the Broken Glass is an example of the beginning of the extermination of the Jews along with their homes and valuables raided by the Nazi’s. As Hitler came into presidency, he took away Jewish rights called the Nuremberg laws that made the Jews both powerless and vulnerable to society. To follow along that, when Hitler was still running for president, his strategy involved helping Germany through its problems through hope that manipulated others as if it was to good to be true. As the Holocaust heavily affected the Jews, a political power had to come into place that followed along taking away Jewish

Facts about the Holocaust and Hitler In world war 2 hitler caused Nazis and Germans to die because he sent them to war. Hitler consolidated the power anointing himself. He also sent Jews to a shelter to waste their lives and die. Thousands of Nazis and Germans died due to the fact of having to fight in World War II. Hitler was being racist to the Germans and mistreated them.

The Nazis saw themselves as superior and felt as though other races or ethnicities did not deserve to coexist. In Adolf Hitler’s last will and political testament, which was dictated in a bunker in German territory, he blamed the war on “International Jewry and its helpers.” He strongly pleaded with the German people to “follow the strict observance of the racial laws and with merciless resistance against the universal poisoners of all peoples.” Hitler was obviously disturbed and the next day, he committed suicide (“The Holocaust”). The two genocidal events convey the thought of racial dominance and viewing the victims as less human than that of the hostile party. In Rwanda, the Hutus were responsible for committing the majority of the atrocities as they killed thousands and systematically raped women and young girls (O’Donnell 3). To Adolf Hitler, the Jewish people were an inferior race, “an alien threat to German racial purity and community”(“The Holocaust”).

During this time 6,000,000 Jews were killed, not by war, but rather at the hands of Germany. Hitler believed that Jews were an inferior race and was a threat to German purity. After years of being mistreated Hitler had a plan called the Final Solution, which was the attempt to extinct the entire Jewish Population. Germany would accomplish this by concentration camps that were set up in Poland. The Khmer Rouge was a revolutionary group who wanted to reconstruct Cambodian society.
