Anne Frank, a Jewish victim of the Holocaust, once said, “If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.” Exemplary of the modern perspective civilians take on the historical moments of World War II, Anne Frank’s quotation signifies the essence of the Holocaust’s legacy. The Holocaust, the systematic mass slaughter of Jews and other groups judged inferior by the Nazis, marked a significant point in the history of World War II because it influenced the modern-day outlook. Driven by the German hope to conquer the world and to establish a universal empire under their leader, Adolf Hitler, new racial judgments began to emerge. The Aryans, or Germanic people, were considered by many to be a “master race”. Such feelings of dominance stimulated the Nazi’s abuse of power and merciless treatment of innocent men and women. Through the institution of the Nuremberg Laws, congested ghettos, and pitiless acts of cruelty inculcated by Adolf Hitler as part of his “Final Solution”, Nazi soldiers sought to exterminate the entire Jewish race, in addition to other “subhuman” categorized minorities. Prior to the beginning of the Holocaust, prejudice tensions were booming across the European continent. Germans, especially, turned their tide of emotions against one another after loosing World War I. Hitler’s authoritative perspective pursued the Germans hatred in the direction of a specific sectional group – civilians of the Jewish religion.

Jews relocated themselves to places outside of Europe and migrated to foreign countries because of fear. Furthermore, the Holocaust left behind an everlasting scar on the Jewish race. The heartless killing of millions of innocent lives ultimately led to a new philosophical approach on humanity’s goodness. Through the use of various strategies, including the Nuremberg Laws, strictly monitored ghettos, and Hitler’s “Final Solution”, the Germanic Nazis sought to purify their nation.

- The Holocaust and Nazi Germanyanalytical essayThe Holocaust is most well-known for the organized and inhumane extermination of more than six million Jews. The death total of the Jews is this most staggering; however, other groups such as Gypsies, Poles, Russians, political groups, Jehovah’s witnesses, and homosexuals were targeted as well (Holocaust Encyclopedia: Introduction to the Holocaust). The initial idea of persecuting select groups of people began with Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in Germany. In January 1930, Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany after winning over its people with powerful and moving speeches. From this point forward, it was a goal for both Hitler and his Nazi Party to rid the world of deemed “inferior” groups of people (Holocaust Encyclopedia: Timeline of Events).

During the Holocaust more than 6 million people of mixed background were exterminated for a variety of reasons revolving around the application of racial hygiene. The placement of the Holocaust in the time line of World War II combined with the logistical and bureaucratic considerations involved meant that the Holocaust was conducted like any other battle or war, albeit one conducted against a civilian population. The Holocaust employed the same manpower, technological resources and military hierarchy as any other battle front of World War II except where the goal of other battles was the acquisition of land or resources, the goal of the Holocaust was the extermination of populations and racial annihilation. The Holocaust was Hitler's second war, or a war within a war, where the objectives and tactics were different but the expected outcome was the same: to win. Hitler believed the “Aryan” race was besieged, and no doubt had little trouble reconciling the destruction of millions as a defensive actions in light of that belief.

There is controversy over whether or not the term “Holocaust” includes only those murdered of Jewish decent. Today, it is generally held that the term “Holocaust” refers to all those put to death in the Nazi concentration camps, ghettos, and murder squads, and the term “Final Solution” is given to refer to the genocide of the Jewish people (also referred to the as “The Final Solution to the Jewish Question”).

In the face of this atrocity many have wondered how such a tragedy transcended in a supposed "civilized" European society. What role did religious institutions play in the prevention or lack of prevention of the horrors inflicted by the Nazis? How did the German government create, within a reasoning public, acceptance and even support for the extermination of a people who previously were considered equals? The inhumanity of the Holocaust was procured with effective use of propaganda on the German people who were willing to support anyone who could return Germany to the thriving time prior to World War I. The Holocaust was able to sustain vitality during the war because of the Westís ignorance and indifference of the horrendous reality that was the Holocaust. The murder of millions at extermination camps such as Auschwitz and Dachau was the end result of a series of events that did not develop through extraordinary circumstances, but rather from an educated German and Western societiesí abandonment of their responsibility to the minority.

Hitler’s actions were unknown before this time, and did not involve just the German states, but instead brought in countries from across the globe, and caused many new international ideas to be created, such as the illegality of Nazism, and the term ‘genocide.’ The Nazis believed that it was their responsibility to deal with the “Jewish Nuisance,” and severely limited the rights of oppressed groups. Hitler rose to power via the desperation of the German state, as they had recently lost a major world war, and were being blamed as the cause of the war in the first place. They constantly searched for an answer to their woes, so when a well respected and fantastic public speaker by the name of Adolf Hitler named the Jews as the problem, the public was more than happy to accept these sentiments. Adolf Hitler rose to become chancellor of the German Third Reich and the leader of the Nazi Party on January 30, 1933. He took absolute control of the government, and the Nazi party adopted the motto, “Ein volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer,” meaning “One voice, One Nation, One Ruler.” This marked the beginning of a series of widespread events costing millions of innocent peopl...

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,

These divisions in social structure were created so that the Nazis could identify certain people, and so the Nazis could use future laws in order to target only those in the gemeinschaftsfemde group. The divisions created led to the future use of what are known as Nuremberg Laws. Michael Berenbaum for the Britannica Encyclopedia defines Nuremberg Laws as “…two race-based measures depriving Jews of rights, designed by Adolf Hitler and approved by the Nazi Party…one deprived Jews of German citizenship, and the other forbade marriage or sexual relations between Jews and ‘citizens of German or kindred blood…’” (1-7).

Known as Mischlinge, persons of deemed “mixed blood” or “hybrid” status faced extensive persecution and alienation within German society and found themselves in the crosshairs of a rampant National Socialist racial ideology. Controversially, these people proved somewhat difficult to define under Nazi law that sought to cleave the Volk from the primarily Jewish “other”, and as the mechanization toward Hitler’s “Final Solution” the Mischlinge faced probable annihilation. The somewhat neglected status of Mischlinge necessitates a refocusing on German racialization as well as reconsideration of the implications wrought by the alienation and ultimate persecution of the thousands of half and quarter Jews subjugated in Nazi Germany.

- Explains that mischlinge and full-jews maintained their professions in the business sector because the priority was to revive the economy and reduce unemployment. good business at the cost of racial pollution undoubtedly warranted legal exceptions.
