Topic > The Holocaust - 1593

Throughout history, the Jewish people have been mistreated, condemned, robbed and even put to death because of their religion. In the Middle Ages they were forced to wear symbols on their clothes, identifying them as Jews. The dates 1933 to 1945 marked the period of the deadly Holocaust in which many atrocities were committed against the Jewish people and minority groups not of Aryan origin. Six million innocent Jews were exterminated as a result of Hitler's "Final Solution". This article will show how Adolf Hitler used the three anti-Jewish policies written in history to his advantage: conversion, expulsion and annihilation. In the 4th century, when the Christian church took power in Rome, the Jews considered the Christians to be an early Jewish sect. Soon their beloved Talmud was burned because they did not accept Christian doctrine. In the 16th century, Jews were given an ultimatum: convert to the Christian faith, which was part of the early anti-Jewish policy, under penalty of expulsion. The second anti-Jewish policy was expulsion. This policy was still used when National Socialism came to power in 1933 (Bartov, O., 2000). After Germany's surrender in 1918, Adolf Hitler was in hospital recovering from mustard gas poisoning. He felt the deep humiliation of and for the German Reich, and it was then that the hatred and bitterness towards the people he held responsible began. In 1919 Hitler wrote his first and last political statement regarding the “Jewish question”. He proclaimed that Jews were Jews through and through (Wistrish, R., 2003). Hitler had three long-term idealistic goals that he would share with the public as he spoke about nationalism and economics... in the center of the card... ...if he sent the order to imprison the traitors. Before the arrival of the Allied troops, Nazi soldiers removed many Jews from the death camps in an attempt to kill as many refugees as possible (Rubenstein, W., 1999).
