  2. The Holocaust Begins • “As a part of their new order for Europe, Nazis proclaimed that Aryans were a ‘master race’. They claimed that Jews and other non-Aryan peoples were inferior. This racist message would eventually lead to the Holocaust, the mass slaughter of civilians, especially Jews.” (pg 451)

  3. The Holocaust Begins Conti. • Everything began with an “ugly campaign of anti- Semitism”. Which developed and became a large persecution throughout Germany. • The Nazis blamed the Jews for losing World War I and for all the economic problems they faced. • The killing of the Jews became a “government policy”. With the passing of laws against the Jew’s existence. • It took away their rights to citizenship, jobs, and property. • Jews were forced to wear a bright yellow star on their clothes to identify themselves as a Jew

  4. Hitler’s Final Solution • “Hitler believed that his plan of conquest depended on the purity of the Aryan race. To protect the racial purity, the Nazis not only had to eliminate the Jews, but also other races, nationalities, or groups they viewed as inferior- as ‘subhumans’. That included gypsies, Poles, Russians, homosexuals, the insane, the disabled, and the incurably ill. The Jews were focused on more than any others.” (pg 453) • The Nazis built extermination camps with gas chambers for an easy way to mass murder. There was about six death camps in Poland. These gas chambers was able to kill as many as 6,000 humans a day.
