How did the Holocaust take away the rights of the Jewish people? Well, Jews had to be locked up in concentration camps, work hard, be poorly fed, suffer abuse, and much more. Right before World War II, the Great Depression occurred, leading to the Holocaust. The Holocaust had begun in 1933, Adolf Hitler had become Chancellor of Germany. The Great Depression hit Germany. The Nazi officers were Adolf Hitler, Adolf Eichmann, August igruber, Joseph Goebbles, Amon Goeth, Herman Goring, Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler, Alfred Rosenburg, Dr. Klaus Karl Schilling, Julius Strenicher. During this time he had to make up an excuse to blame the Jews for the Great Depression. In 1933 there were more than 9 million Jews. There was also the loss of a third of jobs. On April 1, 1933, the first action was taken with the announcement of a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses. On September 15, 1935, the Nuremberg Laws were enacted to exclude Jews from public life. On November 9 and 10, 1938, the Nazis looted and burned synagogues, broke the windows of Jewish-owned businesses, and 30,000 Jews were arrested. He targeted Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, the weak and the disabled. Hitler described the Jews: tall, blond and blue-eyed. On November 9, 1938, thirty thousand Jews were interned in concentration camps. Hitler forced Jews to live in ghettos. In March 1941 Warsaw had the largest ghetto with a population of 445,000. From the large camps, around 1,000 people a day were sent to concentration camps. On April 13, 1943, the remaining Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto fought for 28 days as the Nazis attempted to liquidate the ghettos. This was called the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. At the beginning of the Holocaust the Nazis controlled all of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania... middle of the paper... in Hitler's eyes they symbolized the continuation of the Jewish population. The Red Army were the Nazis. There are about 1.1 million children left, or about 11% of children. Two-thirds of Europe were Jewish. Adolf Hitler used propaganda throughout Germany to brainwash people into believing that Jews were our "bad luck." One of the tools he used as propaganda against the Hews was the weekly newspaper called “der sturmer” which meant the attacker. On the front page of all the newspapers it was said in bold letters that the Jews are our misfortune. There were also many cartoons showing Jews as having hooked noses. The newspaper's influence was spreading rapidly, and by 1938 nearly half a million copies a week were distributed. It is still a mystery whether or not Adolf Hitler committed suicide, or whether he was assassinated.
