Discrimination Of Jews

Was life under Nazi rule for the Jewish people in Europe horrible? Yes it was. Since the rise of the Nazis, Jews have lost many things. Jewish people have lost their citizenship, their protection under the law, and even their humanity. Nazis were very anti-Semitic and started to treat Jews very unfairly. Jew lost everything in their live and was basically treated like animals. Adolph Hitler was the main person involved with the setting of these laws. He claimed that the Jews were the cause of Germany’s downfall and that they were full of diseases.

As the Nazis started to take control, Jewish people lost their jobs, stores, homes, and were even getting beat up by civilians and/or police. Life started to change for the worse for Jewish people

When they arrived to Auschwitz they were still being greatly deceived because music was playing at the stations to make them feel welcomed. Working men and children were separated; the sick, elderly, and woman were taken in another direction, right to the showers. As they were getting ready to go into the shower they were continuously being lied to by the Nazi. They were being told to remember the clothespin number and that the shower would delouse them.
