THE HOLOCAUST THE SYSTEMATIC PERSECUTION OF EUROPEAN JEWERY
THINK… • THE HOLOCAUST WAS SOMETHING OF A WORK IN PROGRESS • IT STARTED OFF SLOWLY • THEN IT PROGRESSED • AS IT PROGRESSED IT GOT WORSE FOR THE JEWS
THE HOLOCAUST NEEDS TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A PROCESS OF DEHUMANIZATION. • THE PROCESS BY WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP IS DEPRIVED OF THEIR HUMAN QUALITIES, OR THOSE THINGS THAT MAKE THEM HUMAN • TAKING AWAY SOMEONES INDIVIDUALITY
THE PROCESS BEGINGS • LATE 1920’s • HITLER AND HIS BOYS START IN WITH THE IDEA OF THE MASTER RACE • ALL NON-ARYANS ARE INFERIOR
EARLY 1930’S • JOSEF GOEBBLES FIRES UP THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE • BLAMES THE JEWS FOR GERMANY’S PROBLEMS AFTER WWI
1933 • NEW LAWS ARE INTRODUCED PROHIBITING ALL JEWS FROM HOLDING PUBLIC OFFICE • TAKES THEM OUT OF POSITIONS OF POWER
1935 • NUREMBERG LAWS ARE PASSED • DEPRIVES JEWS OF CITIZENSHIP • TAKES AWAY THEIR RIGHT TO HOLD PROFESSIONAL JOBS • TAKES AWAY RIGHT TO OWN CERTAIN PROPERTY • FORCES THEM TO WEAR STAR OF DAVID
1938 • KRYSTALNACHT (NOV. 9-10) • NAZI ATTACKS ON ANYTHING JEWISH IN GERMANY AND IN AUSTRIA • 100’S OF JEWS ARE MURDERED • JEWISH BUSINESSES AND TEMPLES ARE DESTROYED
1939 • MANY JEWS FLEE GERMANY (EMIGRATE) • HITLER LIKES THIS, HE WANTS THEM TO LEAVE • HITLER BEGINS TO FORCE EMIGRATION
OTHER NATIONS DID NOT LIKE THIS POLICY • THEY DID NOT WANT SURPLUS JEWS IN THEIR NATIONS • LOTS OF ANTI-SEMITISM (ANTI-JEWISH FEELINGS) GOING ON • MANY NATIONS DON’T LET THE JEWS IN
GHETTOS • GHETTOIZATION BEGINS • JEWS ARE ROUNDED UP • FORCED TO LIVE IN WALLED OFF SECTIONS OF THE CITY (SEGREGATED) • THEY ARE OVERCROWED, DIRTY, LACK ADEQUATE SUPPLIES, AND ARE CONTROLLED BY THE MILITARY
THE IDEA OF THE GHETTO IS TO STARVE JEWS TO DEATH, OR TO LET THEM DIE FROM DISEASE
RESISTANCE IN THE GHETTOS • THERE WAS LOTS OF RESISTANCE IN THE GHETTOS • VIOLENT • MILITARY STYLE RESISTANCE GROUPS • NON-VIOLENT • SECRET SCHOOLS, TEMPLE, ARTS, RECORD KEEPING (PASSIVE RESISTANCE)
RESISTANCE ALLOWS JEWS TO TAKE BACK THOSE THINGS THAT MAKE THEM HUMAN • THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP THE DEHUMANIZATION PROCESS
THE FINAL SOLUTION • IN ORDER FOR GERMANY TO CONQUER EUROPE, THEY MUST HAVE PURITY OF RACE • NO NON-ARYANS
EARLY PARTS TO THE SOLUTION • LABOR/ CONCENTRATION CAMPS • PUT THEM IN CAMPS AND FORCE THEM TO WORK • UTILIZE THE POOL OF FREE SLAVE LABOR • WORK THEM TO DEATH • POOR CAMP CONDITIONS WILL ALSO KILL THEM
EINSATZGRUPPEN • MOBILE KILLING UNITS • FOLLOW THE GERMAN MILITARY THROUGH CONQUERED TERRITORY • ROUND UP JEWS • MURDER THEM • BURY THEM IN MASS GRAVES
MASS EXTERMINATION AT DEATH CAMPS • OPERATION REINHARD DEATH CAMPS OPEN UP IN 1941-1942 • ZYCLON B GAS IS USED TO KILL UPWARDS OF 6000 JEWS DAILY IN SOME CAMPS • CREMATORIUMS USED TO BURN THE BODIES
