  11. Jewish Life in Europe Before the War • Jews lived in 21countries in Europe and had lived there for a long time • Jews were just like other people: some lived in cities, some lived in the countryside; some were religious, some were not; some assimilated into the country they lived in, some didn’t; some were rich, some were poor, some were in-between • The Nazis hated all Jews

  12. Ghettos • Nazis forced Jews into ghettos because: • They wanted their land or their homes for Germans to take over • They wanted them to work (forced labour) • They didn’t care if they died from bad conditions • Ghettos were crowded so disease spread quickly and people died because there was not enough food. • The Warsaw Ghetto held 30% of the city’s population in about 2.4% of the land. It was crowded.

  13. Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing squads) • When the Germans invaded the Soviet Union this is how they killed Jews there: • They found out who was Jewish, forced them to go outside the city, made them dig a pit, take their clothes off, go in the pit, and shot them. • Outside Kiev 33 771 Jews were killed in 3 days. • Soldiers didn’t like this method of killing so the Nazis came up with the idea of gas chambers to kill Jews more efficiently.

  14. Camps • Flowchart: the Nazis had a very organized method for selecting who would live to work and who would die in the gas chambers. • The children in the picture were selected to die. The Nazis wanted to kill the future of the Jewish people. • They cremated (burned) the bodies because they wanted it to be a secret.

  15. Other Victims • Roma were treated similarly to Jews: (220 000- 500 000 were killed out of an estimated total 942 000 in German occupied Europe) • Sent to ghettos • Shot by Einsatzgruppen • Gassed in death camps

  17. Nazis Targeted People Who Were Different • Homosexuals (men who have sexual relations with other men) • Nazis didn’t like their lifestyle • Nazis didn’t like that they didn’t have children who could contribute to the German population • Jehovah’s Witnesses • They were Christian but in a different way from other Germans • They did not serve in the army

  18. Overall… • The Nazis wanted to CONTROL everyone under their rule: • Where they live • If they live • Who they marry • If they can have children • What religion they practice • What rights they have
