Treatment of the Jews Lesson starter: Write down three things that you know about that Hitler did to the Jews during Nazi rule.
Learning Intention • Describe the views of the Nazi Party on race. • Identify other groups targeted by the Nazis • Analyse how the treatment of the Jews changed during their time in power.
Success Criteria… • I can describe some features of the Nazis views on race. • I can provide 3 examples of other groups targeted by the Nazis. • I can work as part of a group to analyse the different methods used to persecute the Jews
Hitler had used Mein Kampfto write down his ideas about the Jewish Race • He believed there were superior races such as Aryans • These were fair skinned people like Germans • Jews and people from Balkan countries (ie Serbia) were far below Aryans in his ideas • They were known as Untermensch
Hitler wanted to get rid of all the people he hated • Hitler provided reasons for the groups he hated – but they were often inaccurate views
The Jews • Hitler believed they were responsible for Germany losing WWI • He said they created Communism • That they were rich and ruthless • That they made Germany weak and brought nothing to the country
Other groups • Jehovah’s witnesses– would not idolise Hitler • Gypsies – contributed nothing to society • ‘asocials’ (such as drug users)– problems were hereditary • Homosexuals– would not repopulate Germany • Criminals – did not contribute to society • Political prisoners - disagreed with Nazi policies
Each group has a selection of sources about the treatment of the Jews in Nazi Germany. • Each group has 5 minutes to discuss the sources and think about the following questions: • What does the source tell you / show you? • What does the source tell you about the treatment of the Jews? • Who are the people in the pictures? • Note down your ideas in your jotter. Task One
