The rise of the Nazism caused life to change politically, economically, and socially for the Jewish people. It changed politically because they began to lose rights. Their lives changed economically because they were forced to leave their jobs and the Nazis took all their money and belongings. The social life of Jews were also affected because of unfair propaganda. Parents and schools were teaching the kids that Jews were bad so they were shunned and made fun of. These aspects affected their everyday life.
The lives of Jews were changed politically. When the Nazis took over, the Jews were no longer able to vote, hold public office, and hold civil right positions (Doc 3). They were also not able to go to certain areas of the city. Restaurants,

The Nazis put signs in front of the Jewish stores telling the German citizens not to shop there (Doc 4). This affected their businesses because now that the Germans weren’t coming there, not enough money was being made. The Jews were also banned from farming, this meant that they weren’t able to provide as much food for their families (Doc 3). A lot of Jews were left jobless because the Germans would not hire them. A lot of this was because of all the propaganda going around. Before the Nazis took control, the a lot of Jews had owned their own businesses and were wealthy (Doc 1). When the Germans became in charge, all that was taken away from them. The Jewish people also had to pay huge atonement fines and discriminatory taxes (Doc 3). This was a way for the Nazis to get money from the Jews. Also, money was taken from the Jew’s bank accounts and they were excluded from stock brokerage and stock exchanges (Doc 3). This impacted the Jews …show more content…
They were looked at as an outcast and were portrayed as monsters (Doc 2). Children stories created by the Germans created an image that Jews were bad and would harm the Germans (Doc 2). Because of this, the German children mistreated the Jews because of what their parents were teaching them. These acts were also influenced by their teachers. Jews had to go to a different school because they were no longer welcomed at their currents schools. Their new schools were ran by all Jewish people. The Nazis did not consider the Jews human. They were treated like trash and as if their lives were nothing compared to the German people. The sad part about it is that many of the Jews, had been native born and their families had been living in Germany for centuries (Doc1). The Germans took none of this into consideration. At concentration camps, a lot of Jews were killed without a reason. A lot were killed if they were old or weren’t stable enough for labor. If they did not follow orders or the Nazis didn’t like their performance, they were also shot. Unfortunately, some Jews were shot without a reason. Another method to annihilate the Jews was gas chambers. The Jews would be forced that they were going to take a shower, and then they would be forced into this room where they would then be gassed and killed. A lot also died from poor nutrition and hygiene (Doc 6). They were fed occasionally and were not able to clean themselves up and
The people of Germany couldn't think less about the Jewish. Hitler had influenced them to follow his opinion, and they
During the time of 1933-1945 the Nazi’s implemented a series of dehumanizing actions towards the jewish. In the book “Night” by Eliezer Wiesel, Wiesel discusses his life before being deported to a concentration camp, his experience in concentrations camps, and how he was finally liberated. Through Wiesel, we are able to witness the way these unfortunate jewish people were stripped of their rights, experimented on and objectified. First of all, there were many laws that were being established that were specifically targeting the Jewish population as time was progressing in Nazi Germany. These laws made a huge impact and made it more difficult for the jewish community to live as “normal” human beings.
Jewish people were victim of the abuse that they received from the "Superior" Aryan race, they were sent towards concentration camp and were treated harshly and killed in cold blood, simply because of their religion, this was called the holocaust. Only a small amount of Jews survived the holocaust, a lot of stories from Jews who had suffered through the horror of concentration camp had surfaced and revealed the horror that they experienced, one of this Jews that spoke up is Joseph Sher.
"Concentration camps, that's what you call, uh, a camp what actually is annihilation...they annihilate people, actually. " This quote by Abraham Lewent sums up the story of the Holocaust and what an egregious time it was. The genocide of over six million people during World War II was the Holocaust. It all started with a man named Adolf Hitler and his rise to power and the German people who were desperate to believe anything they were told.
The life for Jews was harshly changed due to the Holocaust, but exactly made it so bad? The first and most important thing in life is food and water. The Nazis gave out ration cards which restricted the food that the Jewish families were allowed per day. According to document number four,
Germans wanted their German children to also hate the Jewish people. Additionally, Document #5, written by Daniel Goldhagen in 1996, said that Germans had the ideology that all Jewish people had to be killed. Ordinary Germans were responsible for the Holocaust because they supported anti-semitism and didn’t say no to Hitler. No one tried resisting from the Nazis; they all supported actions against Jewish people. However, in document #7, by Yad Vashem, an organization that honors those killed in the Holocaust, said that many Germans saved Jewish lives by hiding them in their homes, faking identities, taking in children and helping Jewish people escape.
The Holocaust is the most significant historical event that I have studied so far. This tragic event took place during World War II and only very few survivors lived to share their shocking experiences. I have read a few of these survivor’s stories, such as Night, by Elie Wiesel and it has personally impacted me and influenced my thinking in various ways. The Holocaust was the greatest act of hate, violence, and anti-semitism.
These are some of the facts of the Nazi’s new rule they did in 1935. After all, no matter what you do, the Nazi will still know you’re a Jew with this evidence, they can check, unless you're lucky enough and escape from their sight. In fact, these are some of the reasons how Nuremberg Laws affect the Jew’s life. In conclusion, this is what the Nuremberg Laws does in 1935. Anti-semitic Anti-semitic is also another reasons that caused this actions.
Night Final Open Ended Question Night, written by Elie Wiesel, is a memoir about his life as he goes through the Holocaust. Eliezer goes through many situations that cause him, and other Jews, to be dehumanized by the Nazis. The three levels of dehumanization are physical, mental, and emotional. Eliezer was affected by all three. Never in his whole life did he imagine that this would happen to him or his family.
This played a large role in the dehumanization role because by taking away the beliefs of the Jews, which is a big part of their identity, they were reduced to shells of the people they
The Nazis believed the Germans were “racially superior” and the Jews were inferior (The Holocaust). Over 6 million Jews lost their lives during the Holocaust (The Holocaust). The main targets were Jews, disabled, Gypsies, and slavic people (The Holocaust). If they did not match the “social norms”, they were killed (The Holocaust). Between the years 1941 and 1944, Jews were deported to concentration camps where they were then killed (The Holocaust).
Imagine the world as you know it is no longer. The plain scentless air is now the stench of burned human flesh. You’re torn from your family not knowing their fate. You are no longer free to roam earth but now trapped in a torturous cage with the only escape being death. For Elie Wiesel and many other Jews of this time, this was their reality.
Jews were carted away into prison or segregated areas by the cartful each day on the streets. Furthermore, Jews were not allowed to do simple actions, such as take pictures or play sports. They were regarded by the government as “subhuman”. The hate grew even stronger on November 19, 1938 when the Nazis destroyed every synagogue or Jewish owned store in Germany. Hitler’s book Mein Kampf became propaganda which allowed him and his National Socialist Party to rise to power.
Daily Life at Concentration Camps Starving, cold, unclothed, sick, and hard working people were all put in concentration camps and treated horribly. The Jewish workers worked hard all day everyday or else they would get killed. The way the Nazi’s treated the Jews was extremely bad, the Jews would not get food, clothes, beds, and other necessities. There were all types of camps that had all kinds of jobs, you were assigned a job and didn 't get to pick a job. The Jews had a very compact schedule, they were busy all day, never any time to waste.
During and after the war, anti-Semitism was still very prevalent, and this prejudice could be seen in literature and people 's attitudes towards Jews. After the war, Jews were still discriminated against as they had been since the days of the Roman Empire. People still excluded them believing they, as non Jews, were better than the Jews. This way of thinking eventually led to the Holocaust and World War II.
