Treatment of Ethnic Minorities by Nazi Germany
Hitler hated three kinds of people- Jews, communists and democracy and
in his view they were all connected. Hitler believed that the Aryan
people were the master race, and most of theses people were Germans.
He believed that Jews were an "inferior species". He believed that
what the Jews believed in was spreading and crushing Germany. Anything
Jewish was wrong. He spoke of a myth that the Jewish bankers planned
to break down the financial system and that this was a reason that war
broke out in 1914.
Hitler hated Bolshevism (communism) because he saw it as a Jewish
belief. The Jewish founder, Karl Marx, set out to break the world
politically, just as the Jews were breaking it racially. Hitler
believed that the reason why communism had taken over in Russia was
because most of Russians were Slavs, who just like the Jews were a
sub-human species. Hitler called the Slavs rabbit people, only here to
reproduce, but unable to organize themselves. That's why Hitler
admired Stalin for turning such a degraded form of people into a
nation. IN Hitler's book Mein Kampf, he said that it was Germany's job
to be the saviour of the Aryan race by killing all the Jews and
seizing the Slavs land of the East. This was the goal of the National
Socialists.
Hitler believed that democracy was a product of the Jews. That's why
he believed it was such a weak political system. He didn't believe in
compromise and so he thought it lacked purpose. If democracy were to
be allowed in Germany it would wreck the whole country and prevent it
from it's destiny. When Hitler came to power he got rid of the whole

have produced this anti Jewish picture for the children to use as part
of their propaganda. The source was produced in Germany. The source
was produced as a use of propaganda. They fed children's minds to
believe that Jews were bad so that they would go home and tell their
parents. This source is biased as it shows what the Nazi's wanted life
to be like. They wanted the Jews to leave. It shows the Jews in a bad
way, it shows them mocking the other children. They are shown sticking
their tongues out at the Germans and pulling out their hair. The
German girl is pure German with feminine features and the Jewish boy
is trying to wreck that by ripping out her hair and making her look
bad. This is how Hitler saw things not how the people did.

The Ways the Nazis Tried to Eliminate all Jews in Europe The Nazis used many methods to eliminate all the Jews in Europe from 1941 onwards. They used concentration camps, ghettos, death camps. Auschwitz Group (murder squads) and the Final Solution. The Final Solution was the plan to annihilate all the Jews out of Europe.
At that time director-general Peter Stuyvesant wanted to keep the Jews out of his diverse town. Stuyvesant described the Jews as “deceitful, very repugnant” and “hateful enemies and blasphemers of the name of Christ” which led to most of the original group leaving (Stavans, 2005, p. 2). This reaction to Jews has been a common occurrence throughout history, both in the United States and abroad. Stuyvesant, seeing the economic growth the Jews brought with them, eventually allowed them to stay and eventually embraced their intellectual stamina (Stavans, 2005, p. 2).
Murders inflicted upon the Jewish population during the Holocaust are often considered the largest mass murders of innocent people, that some have yet to accept as true. The mentality of the Jewish prisoners as well as the officers during the early 1940’s transformed from an ordinary way of thinking to an abnormal twisted headache. In the books Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi and Ordinary men by Christopher R. Browning we will examine the alterations that the Jewish prisoners as well as the police officers behaviors and qualities changed.

The Nazis thought of the Jews as a race that they needed to get rid
The Change in the Nazis Treatment of the Jews Why did the Nazis treatment of the Jews change from 1939-45?
Nazis' Ways of Eliminating the Jews During the Holocaust In 1941, America and Soviet Russia allied with Great Britain and France to fight the Nazi forces in the Second World War. Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazis, knew he faced the most powerful nations in the world and was not ready for a long conflict. They needed to destroy the "evidence", the Jews, of the holocaust before the allied forces closed in from the west. Up to this point, the Nazis had used slow, stressful and inefficient methods of killing Jews and Hitler wanted a faster way of getting rid of them.

n January of 1933 the Nazi regime took control of Germany with the belief that Germans were “racially superior.” Throughout this time period called the Holocaust, which is a Greek word meaning “sacrifice by fire,” the Jewish people were deemed inferior, and were the main threat to the German racial community. Though the Holocaust was a systematic and bureaucratic war, racism is what fueled the persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime. Racism is defined as “a belief or doctrine that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.” This framework of racism was what Hitler believed would “carve out a vast European empire.” (Perry,
Taking their possessions away and not allowing them certain rights (Beecroft). This is similar to how Hitler told the people of Germany that Jewish people were the reason the war was going bad and they were the reason Germany was in such a weak state. Just like the Turks the Nazis wanted everyone to be the same but in a little bit of a different way. In the Holocaust they started with the political opponents (“Holocaust”). The Nazis also took away the Jews jobs and possessions (Bard 13).
In the book, the German soldiers went out of their way to make the Jews suffer. Why did the Solidiers do it? To begain the Soldiers didnt start off as this way ,but faced with German rule and wanting to portect themself they abandoned
