Hitler Against the Jews
...d,” None but members of the nation may be citizens of the state. None but those of German Blood may be members of the Nation. No Jews therefore may be a member of the Nation” (Rees, L. 2002, The NAZIS: A warning form History, BBC, London.) Hatred against the Jews was present before Adolf Hitler’s appearance but the term appeared when Hitler let his voice be heard. Adolf Hitler developed his intense hatred of Jews before World War 1 with two key factors formulating his decision. One which he claimed in his novel Mein Kampf, “that it was an encounter with one of these, dressed in a long coat and with black side locks that opened my eye to the alien character of the Jew”. (Gogerly, L. 2002, Adolf Hitler, Franklin Watts, London.). He also believed Germany was defeated in World War 1 because of the Jews ‘empowerment’ leading over the German Race, enabling them to easily betray the ‘Fatherland’. Even though the Jews were only disliked because of by racial tension from Europe. Racial prejudices and misconceptions from the Christian countries. And that they refused to fit in with the societies that they were living in and continued practicing Judaism. Though as the religious ideas past, Hitter came along and the only way to become Chancellor of Germany was to blame the Jews for all the troubles that Germany was encountering with WW1 and the stock market collapse Hitler despised minority groups, which he labeled “Inferior” These included Jews, communists, Gypsies and homosexuals. Hitler’s main hatred was towards the Jews; he claimed them to be responsible for all the misfortunes that had been thrust upon the Germans. He also claimed in his novel ‘Mein Kampf, that Jews were the leaders of social democracy and therefore to be hated’, this implying the obvious Hitler viewed there should only be a ‘dictator’ meaning only one opinion counts -his. Hitler later on in his role forced upon ‘special action’ and ‘special treatment’ towards the “Inferior” ones, meaning execution. As Hitler preached, “The sooner they are ceased the better off the German public will be”. For Hitler’s reign as Chancellor he critically used the Jewish public as his scapegoat as they were a more distinct character as in the past they had been loathed upon due to their religious beliefs. He preached that the Jewish race was with holding the Germans creditability. He blamed them for the destruction of World War 1, the economically imbalance with the Stock Market Crash, deeming Germany would have coped incredibly well off without the imposing Jews, to support. This presenting with the intention Hitler used the Jews as a ‘Scapegoat’ to win over the German public’s democratic vote to develop as ‘Chancellor’. Without the Jews as the scapegoat Hitler may have never been given the position he had. The Nazis treated the minority groups with no compassion through “The final solution of the Jewish Question” It only takes seven words meaning the horrific killings to rid Germany of Inferior Blood. In the beginning of Hitler’s Nazi Dictatorship only laws against Jews were put in place. The first discriminatory laws in 1933 only implemented the Jews banned from government employment and restricted their admittance into any form of education. Then in the for coming years ‘Anti-Semitic’ laws were increased for destruction of the vermin; Jews were excluded from virtually every job, deprived of citizenship, thrown completely from education and stripped of their belongings and were forced to identify themselves with the star of David. Following the Laws hauled upon the Jews, on the night of November 9, 1938 ‘Kristallnacht’, the Nazi mobs killed hundreds of Jews chattered thousands of windows in the Jewish neighborhood, and set fire to Jewish synougues throughout Germany. Subsequently to the already destruction the Nazi’s embarked on the ‘Final solution’. The Nazis would round up all those were classified ‘Inferior’ according to the Nazi racial theory and enemies of the German society and thrust them into cattle trains. They were incarcerated in concentration camps, which were built to implement the ‘Final solution’. At these camps t...
