  5. Government tried to help with problems after WWI • But didn’t really help

  8. Germans are: • DESTINED to expand and rule Europe because they are better than everyone else. Nationalism http://fightforyourrightwear.com/German_Pride_Front.jpg

  9. BUT! • Not ALL Germans are deserving. Only PURE Germans should rule: • Christian • White • Blonde hair • Blue Eyes

  10. Nationalism • Nationalism is good but Hitler loved Germany and hated others that were not “aryan”. He was VERY racist. • So nationalism CAN lead to bad things if it causes people to be racist. Hitler was VERY racist. • So nationalism CAN lead to bad things if it causes people to be racist

  11. Who SHOULDN’T be a part of German greatness? • People who are different: • Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals etc.

  12. A Quote: • “If one imagines….a battlefield covered with thousands of dead (WWI)…….and then our institutions for idiots and their care (mental hospitals)……one is most appalled (shocked) by the sacrifice of the best of humanity……. • Continued on next page

  13. …..“while the best care is lavished (given) on life of negative people (people who don’t deserve it)”. • Karl Binding and Alfred Hoche, Authorization of the the Destruction of Life Unworthy of Life Leipzig, 1920

  14. So what are Germany’s problems? • They lost a war and they aren’t as powerful as they SHOULD be!

  15. Why isn’t Germany as powerful it SHOULD be? • Because “weak” people are dragging them down • Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies etc

  16. Evidence? • Jews are weaker! Science says so! • Nazi supporters did “experiments” on Jews to prove that they were weak

  18. Why would Nazi’s want medical “evidence” to show that Jews weren’t as strong as non-Jews? Illustration from an anti-Semitic children's primer. The sign reads "Jews are not wanted here." Germany, 1936. http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10005175

  19. Jewish people were treated badly • In 1935, Germany and other counties taken over by the Nazi’s passed laws that took away basic rights of Jews. • They could only be outside certain times of the day • They couldn’t go to public places like libraries, concerts movies etc • They had to wear a star on their shirts to show that they were Jewish……..

  20. Kristallnacht • One night in 1938, Hitler ordered that all Jewish property be destroyed. Jewish stores, businesses, temples, and homes were broken into. Some were burned to the ground. • kristallnacht: night of broken glass. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~1930s2/Time/1938/kristallnacht.jpg

  21. Justification for: • Removing Jews from government jobs, law, and cultural life. • Euthenasia http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/deadlymedicine/narrative/index.php?content=final

  22. Sterilization: what is it? http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/deadlymedicine/narrative/index.php?content=final

  24. If anyone is Jewish or against the state: • They get sent to prison camps without a trial. Get them out of the way! • People were afraid. http://www.hermes-press.com/hitler_001.jpg

  25. Do Now • Last time you learned about how Hitler wanted to destroy all Jewish people because they were “bad”. Trying to destroy an entire race of people is called: genocide. Can you think of another example in history where a leader wanted to commit genocide?
