The Years of 1935-1945 were among the most disturbing from the Jewish point of view. The Jews were treated as animals and thrown into camps surrounded by barbed wire. They were barely fed and forced to work all day long until evening without breaks. Many of the prisoners in these camps died of dysentery, starvation, or hypothermia. Upon entrance to the camp, the prisoners were given medical exams and the weak were immediately sent to their deaths, many weren’t lucky enough to even get a burial as shown here.
The man behind all this was Adolf Hitler, he hated the Jewish because In Hitler’s mind, all the groups that he saw as foiling Germany were Bolsheviks, socialists, and social democrats all became identified with Jews, because Jews were so

They burned, beat, and gassed the Jews because they were too week to work. The Jews were too weak to work because they were not fed or hydrated the way they needed to be. The Germans did not see them as humans. However, my German ancestors may have portrayed themselves and how they may have squashed their names from being heroes I still take pride in my ancestral homeland.
The Holocaust should never have occurred but because one man who wanted to take over the world hated the Jewish people, he got his way and killed 6.6 million of them, what a monster. The true meaning of his personal hatred for them may never be known for sure because there are many theories, but the one I listed above seems to be the most accurate because it’s from the book Hitler wrote himself. This picture portrays, I believe is an honorable site and it fills me with joy that many people came to visit, however sadness intervenes because how this man or woman has died was in a horribly cruel
The Nazis dehumanize their victims physically, mentally, and emotionally in the concentration camps. The Nazis provide very little or sometimes no food for Jews, which results in death because of starvation. This is used every day by the Nazis to dehumanize Jews mentally. The biggest challenge the Jews face is staying healthy with very little food. If any of the workers are not capable of performing tasks due to sickness or disease, they are most likely to get killed.
The main reason the Nazis targeted Jewish people was because they were seen as inferior. The Nazi Party held the ideology of the "Aryan Race." "They adapted, manipulated, and radicalized the unfounded belief in the existence of an "Aryan race" and its superiority to fit their ideology and policies. Nazi officials used this concept to support the idea that Germans belonged to a "master race." The Aryan race was a "Master Race" that Germans thought they belonged to.
The Jews were always blamed for most problems in society by the Germans. For instance, Eliezer catches a Kapo sexually assaulting a female prisoner. Although it is not Eliezer’s fault for accidentally catching the Kapo, he is still whipped multiple times even though he did not deserve it. This most likely explains the reason why the Nazis have no sympathy for the Jews. The Nazis possibly viewed the Jews as “lazy good-for-nothings” because they “ruined” the Nazis' lives.
They were starved to death and deprived from all their belongings. “In front of us flames. In the air that smell of burning flesh.” (26) The Nazi were cruel and would burn the Jews alive.
The Nazis no longer regarded the Jews as humans but as vermin and sub-human. There is a picture in Source C that the Nazis used as propaganda and it was a drawing of Jews. The drawing portrays the Jewish people as disgusting and disabled and like they weren't part of the human race. This propaganda helped turn people against the Jews and made it feel like it was right what the Nazis were doing to them. Next were the concentration camps.
The Holocaust was the worst thing to ever take place in history. Many people lost their faith, their family, young children lost their innocence, and many, young and old, lost their life. These weren’t the only things that got lost during the war; many lost their mind as well. Whether it was losing your family or for hunger these people suffered a great deal.
The Holocaust was a genocide in which Adolf Hitler, ruler of the Nazi party, and his associates conducted the mass murder of over six million Jews. Nazi Germany under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler was responsible for the brutal, inhuman slaughter of the Jews from 1933 to 1945. Many German civilians were ashamed of the callous, blasé and insensitive killings led by their own ruler and therefore deny any knowledge of the events of the Holocaust. Their claims to be unaware of the events of the Holocaust are not valid and are only used as a shield for their pride and dignity. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis believed that the Germans were the ‘perfect race’ and all other races were deemed ‘inferior’.
In many ways, Nazis had physically, mentally, and emotionally dehumanized their victims. The Jews were treated so badly by the Nazis that they felt as if they weren’t even humans; they felt like animals. For example, the Jewish prisoners were always being yelled at with harsh tones. Eliezer only remembers one time when a Polish
Jews that lived during the Holocaust were robbed and deprived of their God given rights and humanity.. They slowly lost hope, faith, family, and the reason you keep living. Elie Wiesel realizes he has to let go of his family to survive when the doctor says, “In this place there is no such thing as father, brother, friend”(110). This is dehumanizing because people are born needing a family to depend on and once they lose something as simple as that, they fall into a pit of negative emotions. Thousands of people lost their family members during the holocaust and the Germans had absolutely so sympathy towards them.
The Nazis took away the rights of Jews because they believe they were less than human and imperfect. At first the tales of what the Nazis were doing to “imperfect” people seemed unreal. People refuse to believe “Infants were tossed into the air and used as targets for the machine guns. ”(Weisel 6) They will not believe a human being could do that.
It is estimated around 6 million Jews died during the Holocaust, each death leaving a scar on modern history, each death showing the monsters we all can be to our own people, or just revealing the monsters we truly are. Harsh changes were put on the Jews from the loss of basic human rights like freedom to the loss of lives. This inhumane treatment was done by their own kind, no sympathy, no empathy,
The Nazis were known for doing many things to Jews and others and they had their reasons. Their was many purposes for the things they did. The Nazis tried to defy the laws of human nature. They experiment on the Jews. They also tortured Jews just for the enjoyment.
The Jews were blamed for the loss of WWI and the creation of democratic government. They also fabricated a world domination conspiracy by the Jews. Another myth that had arisen about Jews for centuries was that it Jesus Christ was killed by Jews. Many Catholic Germans would learn this in Church and read about it in books. Many people thought badly about Jews even before the Nazis came into power.
Jews were seen as filthy and inferior to others; they were just scapegoats to a chaotic warzone. Nazi officers
Shown through the Holocaust, concentration camps, and immigration, it was proven that Jews during World War II were some of the most harshly treated people of all time. The Holocaust is one of the most devastating events in human history as the Nazi’s killed millions. Most Jews were thrown into labor facilities known as Concentration camps, and it is shocking the amount of horrific happenings inside of these camps. For the ones that tried to escape Nazi occupation, the Jewish people had to hide and flee, however it was also a struggle to make it into another country. Throughout history there have been many terrible events and wars, however WWII proved to be one of the cruelest times there ever will be, and the Jews suffered the most during this time.
