Persecution in Germany

Explain how persecution took place in Germany. Who other than the Jews were persecuted? Describe the sterilization program. Select 3 significant actions taken by Hilter from 1933 to 1939 that impacted the lives of Jewish people and other groups in Germany.

106 comments:

  1. Other people that were persecutied were Black, Asian, Hispanic, etc. There were about 400-mixed races. they were known as the "Rhineland Bastards".
    Well, the sterilization camps took in specific problems of people, for example: they strilized the mentally ill, mentally retarded, Blind, deaf, epileptic, physically deformed, and even alcholist. from 33'-39', hitler passed the sterilization law, individuals, like alcholist had to go to court to see if they would get sterilized, and sterilization was found as crime agianst humanity.

  2. Wow! Interesting information, Andrew. Are you surprised that someone who have the heart to do this to PEOPLE? I can't believe that Hitler did this to people. Are you learning a lot from this unit? I hope so.

  4. i found the steriliztion program very diturbing. like Andrew stated earlier, they sterilized many different ethnic cultures and mentaly disabled. another part of this process was preforming surgery on the people. for example, they preformed vasectimies on men and tubal lingation on women making it impossible for them to have children. the nazi's thought that this would cleanse Germany of inpure people forever by stopping the "breeding".

  5. I learned that Hitler was very cruel to many people not only to the Jewish people but also to Asians,Homosexuals,Hispanic,African Americans, and you can't forget the brown eyes brown hair people.Also i didn't know that there was a plan to clean up all the jewish men and ladys.

  6. The sterilization program was made to stop all reproduction of genetically diseased and to purify Germany. Also the Nazis pursecuted many different ethnic culturs. Last but not least people were forced into concentration camps and Nazis encouraged women to bear as many whit childern as possible.

    I agree with you about the fact of the sterilization porogram being quite disturbing.I wonder if they had sucess at one point and "purifies" Germany of all jews?did they have sucess with anything they did besides killing mounds of people?!

  8. 3 things that happen during 1933-1939 that impact the Jewish people is in January 30 Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany and from that point he made jewish people suffered.Like for example in April 1 Hitler order the Nazi to boycott jewish businesses.It didnt stop there either in August 11 1938 the Nazi destroyed synagogue. That only a taste of what he did.He did alot more worse things that I cant even comperhinded.

  9. THE PERSECUTION OF THE GEMANYS WAS CRAZY THEY KILLED THE ETHNIC POLES, ROMANI, SOVIET CIVILIANS, SOVIET PRISONERS OF THE WAR, HE EVEN DISABLED THE HOMOSEXUAL MENS, AND POLLITICAL AND THE RELIGON OPPONENTS IT WAS WRONG HOW THEY DID THOSE PEOPLE. AND THEN YOU HAD TO HAVE BLONDE HAIR AND BLUE EYES TO BE PREFECT NO EVERYONE IS PREFECT. NAZIS HAD STARTED TO ARREST THE SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST, AND THE LABOR AND LEADER. THEN HE HAD CREATED A SPECIAL COURT TO PUNISH THE POLITICAL FOR NOP REASON AT ALL. ON FEBRUARY 27, 1933 THE REICHSTAGE BUILDING HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE AND SOME OF THEM BELIEVE THAT NAZIS HAD STARTED THE FIRE OR THAT HE HELPED SET UP THE FIRE OTHERS BELIEVE THAT THE COMMUNIST HAD DID IT AND THEY NVER HAD SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

  10. An actions that Hitler took was he wanted to get rid of the enemy (Jews). Another action was that Jews were token Jews from their homes and sent them to camps. Hitler also wanted to make the perfect German.

  11. I didn't klnow that all the gays, mentals, jews, disabled and etc. But the crazy put about it all is that the germans took the jews from thier own houses and put them on the s.s. Also, most of the jews most suffering incounter was going to the sterilization program(being invaded and tested on). Then hitler and the nazis decided to make the perfect human. michael

  12. Some things that happened during the concintration camp was people ate rotten foods in the same bowl that was used to potty in . Also the housing conditions were unsanitary and digusting. Many people slept in one bunk bed with one cover , and the rooms had zero heat nor electricity . Many Jews died from disease's such as typhus,mistreatmers,starvation,beatings and lastley working to hard . i think this was cruel and harmful to jews .its unfair to get treated the worng why like they did for no reason.Hitler was a very mean person and didnt care much about others.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I agree with what shanece p. said. so many different people died that it was difficult to understand who he did like other than the 'perfect' German. Hitler was a tactical war geniuse but screwed up in the head. he was a psycotic freak with a vision of the new hell on his to do list.

  14. Wow. Rayme great word choice "tactical war genis" What are details do support this?

  15. I thought that the holocost was very interesting becuase i think its ironic how hitler was born jewish and had brown eyes and brown hair.but hitler was also killing/slaying everybody who didnt have blond hair and blue eyes and wasnt jewish.Hitler was a very evil person he was agaisnt everyone who was part of the groups(ethnic poles, Romani, soviet civilians, soviet prisoners, disabled peeps, homosexual men, and political and religous opponents.

    ReplyDelete
  16. There were many different races that Hitler persecuted in Germany. some of them were the poles,romani soviet civilians, the disabled, homoselxual men, jews, and political or religion opponets.Hitler was very hateful to these races. For example, the polish and Jews were called names like "ghettos". Another thing is, the familes were forced from ther homes by the nazis police and put in terrible consentration camps. at these camps they were starved, worked , and sick to death. The conditions in the camps were dreadful and very unsanitary.
    Hitler also wanted a perfect human. this ment that any person who did not have blonde hair, and blue eyes was considered "subhuman". The funny thing is Hitler himself did not meet the standards of a perfect human. Furthermore, Hitler would even make any jew over the age of 10 where the Nazis symbol on there arm.
    Hitler was a very mean man!!!!

  17. I agree with Jalen G....... The Jews life was miserable and there wasn't a real way the Jews could prevent getting treated. I can't even image how awful the Jews felt losing their buisness and getting seperated from family. It also scares me that many Jews died each day and the Nazis had no emotions to their death. If I were to see a person die I would freak out and try to prevent other deaths happening in the future.

  18. i agree with tiff.
    Hitler really didnt care about the people in Germany.
    All Hitler cared about was what he wanted it to be,to make HIM happy.
    Agood ruler wants to help the people in the country not kill the poeople in it.

  19. In this research about Hitler,I found that Hitler thought that the perfect race of people is the Aryan race, and they had to have blonde hair and blue eyes, and not Jewish. Hitler put people without those facial characteristics in concentration camps and brutally tortured them, he thought they wanted to take over Germany so he wanted to stop them
    . Even though Hitler hated people with blue eyes and blonde hair, and was Jewish, Hitler had brown hair, and brown eyes, and was born Jewish, Which i think is kind of ironic.

    ReplyDelete
  20. As Rayme said... Hitler was very smart and new what he was doing and what he wanted, it was just hard to understand if his head ws always on his shoulders the right way becuase of how much he changed around on who he hated.

    Although I do disagree with the fact that he may have been messed up in the head head, I just simply believe he had a different outlook on Jew that may not have been "correct" in the ways of his thinking as we see it.

    and for Tori - I think Hitler had to have an enourmous amount of love for the Germany to risk his life actually being in jail at the start of his campaign. I think it took alot of guts to do what he did to the Jews. Even though it may not have been kind to Jews I think he thinked he was doing good.

    What shocks me the most is how many people Hitler hated. [The groups were ethnic poles, ther Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, the disaabled, homosexual men, and political and religious opponents] The Jews most of all seemed to take the worst beating. Businesses were shut down and Jews had to were a patch that proved they were a Jew. And most of all the Jews synagogues were burned down and distroyed. It's hard to image the way the Jews felt. Anger, frusration, and madness was probly the thoughts that crossed there mind to Hitler and the Nazis. Most of all the Sterilization program was shocking. Hitler believed that black soldiers that married a white German who had kids were to have their kids taken away to seperate the family. Which I think is not right... I believe that all Jews and German, and other groups should have rights to their own.

  22. Think about the way the world would be if Hitler was not dead. How far do you think he would have gone to get rid of the Jewish people?

    ReplyDelete
  23. What amazed me the most was how many failed assasination attempts were on hitler. As far as i know around 40 attempts were made and all 40 failed. I also didnt know that Hitler ended up commiting suicide after the war. this is strange because he was such a powerfull man, i didnt think he would be the kind of man to commit suicide.

    I think that Hitler had a series of problems. Honestly this guy killed a bunch of people( jews, gypsies, religious groups, homosexual men, mentally and physically ill, or blind, deaf, or mute)just because he could. Ithink someone should of killed him sooner or later. I'm actually surprised that he was the one to kill his self.

  25. Persecution in germany was really horrible almost all types and group of Jews were persecuted, the german government which was under control of hitler made the jews lives impossible to live, the government made all of the jew buissness shut down.
    on the night of the broken glass almost all jews were rounded up right in there own homes they were then sent to a concetration camp and held as prisoners.
    living as a jew must of been hard

    ReplyDelete
  26. presecution in germany must of been horrible for the jews because all of there buissnes were closed by hitler and that really isn't fair and also the night of the broken glass was even worse because all the jews were rounded up and sent to a cocentration and held as prisoners

  29. I couldn't comprehend how people could be so harsh! Jewish, Gypsies, Jehovah witnesses, communist, political prisioners, criminals, homosexual men, anti-socials, mentally ill, physically disabled, and Czechs poles all were sent to concentration camps. I know Mrs.Marrero showed you the pictures of the people in those poorly kept camps. I don't fully understand why they tried to make the "perfect race." We all are aware most people aren't blond with blue-eyes and tall. Personally I am kind-of short, brown-eyed, and brown hair.
    To burn down someone's holy place; for the Jews it was their synagogues; is completely disrespectful and...evil. Truthfully I wonder how the Jews felt. Were the angry, were their hearts full of hatred? Or were they kind, and forgave those who hurt them. The worst part about the Holocaust was the sterilization. How could you sterilize a woman just so she couldn't bring a particular race into the world? Jews and all the other groups shouldv'e had the same rights as everyone else! Personally I believe Hitler was insane.

  30. Well Michael B. First of all Hitler kind of Brainwashed the Nazi's so they weren't going to kill someone they trusted and respected so much. Hitler i think had way to much power of the German's

  31. I agree with Michael Jamie and Frankie. I was SHOCKED that Hitler commited suicide! Maybe the guilt of killing so many innocent peolple especially the children got to him. I wish he wouldv'e wrote a suicide note

  32. A persecution is the act of persecuting especially in those who differ in social outlook,religion and orgin. some people that germany have took over are polands, denmark,norway,belgium,the netherlands, luxembourg,france,yigoslavia and greece.all the jews have faced all there life is prejudice and discrimination,know as antisemitism

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hitler not only persecuted Jews, but also governmental enemies, political Democrats. Like everyone else has said, Hitler targeted many races other than just Jews. Some of these races included Poles, Gypsies, African Americans and homosexuals. Hitler believed that by eliminating some of these “lesser races,” he was cleansing the Earth of unclean races. Hitler himself claimed that he was a Christian, and blamed Jews for hard economic times and political issues. Part of this prejudice may have resulted from the death of his mother under the care of a Jewish doctor. If you weren't blond with pale skin, you were automatically under question. At first, his persecution began with civil restrictions and limited freedoms. This situation progressed into concentration camps and medical experimentation. This experimentation included sterilization. This process meant making sure that these “lesser peoples” could no longer reproduce, if they ever survived experimentation and labor camps. Handicaps were also eliminated because Hitler felt that he had no room for “cripples.” These people were rounded up in their communities, and taken by train to other camps and other locations, sometimes for immediate elimination. I think that people tolerated these treatments of other citizens because it was so gradual. After the war, people were hungry for a leader that would rebuild Germany and fix their economic problems. Hitler stepped up to the challenge. By gaining government positions, he could also further his own social calendar. I think that most people weren’t completely aware of what was happening in the lives of Jews and other persecuted groups. Hitler made sure that his treatment of these people was kept under wraps. Most people had no idea what was happening until American and British troops liberated the concentration camps in Poland and Germany. After Hitler’s actions were revealed, I think the veil was lifted from people’s eyes, and people started to realize how pointless the Nazi’s quest for power had been. .

  34. I don't understand why Hitler would want to create the "perfect race". In America we come in all shapes, sizes and nationalitys. To kill everyone who didn't have blond hair, blue eyes, and is tall is horrible! Alot of people died because of this mans sick mind!

  35. Lexi - How do you think the German people coped with the aftermath of their actions? Do you think it was difficult for them to have a voice in the world after this? Do you think it hurts their political clout even to this day?

  36. I know that they suffered economically because of their actions, but what of their regret? Today, small groups of Nazi's remain, in Germany and even in America, but even so, I don't think it's fair to hold that offense against the Germans. I know that if I had taken part in such a horrible action, even just watching it happen, I would never expect anyone to listen to my opinion again. Hitler however, was more of a figurehead to that past than the German people themselves. I think that Germany will always be remembered as a site for one of the greatest violent events in history, but in my opinion, only that, a site. Today, I know that I wouldn't look at Germany as a Nazi nation. It's not fair to look at the granchildren of killers and to also label them killers.

  37. In the holocaust Adolf Hitler is an Aryan that is against all race and wants every one to be like him. Because everyone was not like him he did a lot if terrible thing to hurt them. For example; the Jehovah Witness Hitler would force them to wear purple armbands. Some were imprisoned as dangerous traitors and also they had a choice to sign a document and change their race.… because they refused to take the pledge of loyalty to the Third Reich. Ant then he would choose for total annihilation for the Jews and the Gypsies. All because of their race. So mainly if it wasn’t Hitler’s way it wasn’t no one’s way.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I totaly agree with Jaime F.
    because if you were a Jew you must have been living hard ...
    Also i believe tat the Jehovah Witness kinda had it easyer than everybody because they actually had a chance to sign a document and change their race. But only 25 people desided to do that.

  39. andrew j you did a good job explaining that there was other races and not only jews that were sent to concentration camps because mainly when you think of the holocaust you think of jews so good job

  40. I WONDER WHY MOST PEOPLE JUST GAVE UP ON ADOLF HITLER AND DIE EVENTALLY...IT WOULD HAVE CAME TO HIS RIGHT STATE OF MIND THAT KILLING WAS NOT THE WAY TO...BUT INSTEAD OF DOIN THAT HE KILLED HIMSELF...I ALSO WONDER WHY HE KILLED HIMSELF IS IT BECAUSE HE WAS FULL OF GUILT FROM KILLIN A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T NEED TO DIE.(INCLUDING LITTLE CHILDREN)

  41. During the Holocaust Hitler tried to kill many Jews. I believe that he was doing the wrong because everyone has the right to live. I think that in 1938 were the worst years during World War II. During the whole war Jews were 1. trying to escape Germany or 2. being killed due to their religion. Most of the people killed were the Jews, Gypsies, and soldiers when they were in battle against England, the United States, France and many more. The sterilization program allowed the Jews to become Christians and to clean their religion. The Holocaust was the worst times for the Jews. The Jews that ran it to the forest gathered in little groups and formed brigades and go to kill police patrolling the area and would take their guns and would reuse them. One brigade formed was the Blaski brigade that took the live of the officers that took their parents life. At the end of the Holocaust there were only 30% of the Jews who came back. In Germany about 70% of the population was mainly Jews.

  46. I agree with Karina,Micheal,Jamie,and Frankie......I mean OMG...i would have thought of Adolf Hitler commiting suicide!!!!!!!I honestly feel that is exactly what he get. I mean maybe all that regret from killing people got to him!!!However I think he just probably did that so that way he could save himself from being caught and possibly being miserable.If you were in that concentration camp(back in time)do you think you would have tried to fight back and attack Hitler? or Do you think you would have done exactly what was told to do???

    ReplyDelete
  47. Jasha, he didn't kill himself due to the guilt he faced for being a sadistic murderer, it's because of his pride. It was his pride that made him proud to kill anyone not blonde and blue eyed.Hitler didn't want to go to jail for this sick cause, so suicide was the way to go. Also, I think he believed in some cults and black magic, but IDK.

    Well Symphony, You would have no other choice BUT to do as you're told, or you would be killed by the Nazi guards or death by electric fence.

  50.

    I did not know that much information about the Persecution in Germany as I do know. I now know that he was trying to steralize Germany by the surgerys they would perfrom on the Jews to clean them so they can no longer reproduce. I think this was a really cruel thing to do to the Jews. I also liked how you said if you weren't blonde with pale skin you were under question and you would have limited freedoms if you weren't what Hitler liked. Overall I know sooo much more about the persecution in Germany.

  54. I agree with Symphony. I think that Hitler killing himself is exactly what the thing gets for all I care.

  61. I am not responding to anyone.

I personallydon't blame him either

  63. I am responed to alise i watched the thing on hilters cousin i mean if his own cousin was ashamed of him you would think that he would think he would look at what they said and argee that he was wrong but some people are just very rude to others because of their color or the reglion they have and so on and so forth. For example: some whites have a problem because the blacks color some of the other people have a problem with the reglion and the color the other person is so they dont speak to them or anything but talk bad about them because of their family members or the way they dress or the money they have and so on and so forth.

  75. This is to everyone.....I couldn't believe that Hitler committeed suicide. I would of thought that he would never do that just because everything was going his way!!!!!

    -hitler became president on august 2nd 1934
    -when hitlers parents died [from breast cancer and internal bleedings] then hitler thought the jews caused his parents death so he decided to not be an artist and go after the jews

  80. I think that Hitler acted like a girl(no offense any to any females reading this). He was to scared to take the consequences for his actions and instead of running or hiding he decided to commit suicide. I think he had to much power for his own good and got scared when everything went bad. SHAME ON YOU HITLER.

  81. MiChAeL bArAuSkAs i think hitler didnt act like a girl but he did have other options instead of commiting suicide.

    ReplyDelete
  82. BrIaNnA lUkEnS you are totally right about the other options. Hitler could of ran away and hid in secrecy for the rest of his life or even just change his name and get plastic surgery to change the look of his face but no he decided to not take a chance and live a little longer, but decided to commit suicide. I think Hitler was horrible at planning things out and he unfortunately didnt like to take risks.He was unlike other people and instead of getting the adrenaline rush from adventure he got it from performing torture routines and I think because of this he is a sick sick man who wanted this world to be extremely sick to. If Hitler had not been pressured like he was and he hed a I.Q. higher , instead of a -125 he could of pulled off total world domination, but the U.S. would of ended up stopping him anyways. GO U.S.

  86. Him commiting suicide had everything to with pride. He didn't believe that the Allied forces were worthy enough to bring down such a great leader. If you were in a one window room with the door locked, and people on the other side of that door wanted you to die, you would jump. It's self-preservation. Humans are geared to survive, and if they can't, they want to have the last word, or at least, end it on their own terms. After all that Hitler had taken from the human race, what part of him would give the satisfaction of his death to his enemies? Also, his new wife was in too deep, and death faced her if she was caught.

Well Jasha, Hitler killed himself because at the end he did not want the americans or anyone else to kill him because it would give them the power and joy of killling the "guy" who killed milllions of people so Hitler poisoned himself so that he would be the one who won and got the enjoyment.

  88. Michael B,

    Hitler wasn't acting like a "girl" per say. Hitler was a very powerful man and he did horrible things to other races, once people realized this they were extremely upset and wanted him to be gone. Lets flip it and put yourself in that position. Hitler was cornered and he had no one to go he was going to die anyways so why not do it himself? He wanted it to seem as if he was untouchable and he really was. No one could touch him when he was powerful and no one persecuted him.

  89. I agree with michael because hitler did run away from his problems and instead of facing up to them he ran and hid. He deserved whatever punishment was coming his way because of what he did to those jews. He persecuted them for no reason and just becasue they were different doesn't mean they are worse than us. A world with all the same people would not be a good world at all and hitler wanted that so he persecuted everone who was different.

  90. Lexi W - Pride? I agree what he did was bad, but how did he consider it as pride? He may have been a little messed up in the head, but surrounded by many people who wanted to kill him brings sudden Realization to him. Your opinion brings up a good point of self-preservation. Nice job

  91. What i have learned with other peoples information, i know that Hitler disliked Gipsies, African Americans, Cathelics, Democrats, and communists, but if you think about it wasnt Hitler somewhat forming a communist country? to make everyone the same!

  92. Ali C,

    I agree. Hitler did have "girly actions". He was in the cooko for cocopuffs kind of guy. But in the grand scheme of things he was a little messed up in the head. Hitler was a very good speaker but i do not understand how he convinced everyone to follow his lead.


    Lexi W,

    I didn't think that Hitler's new wife just commited suidcide because she was in way too deep because of what had happened and what her husband had done by taking away many lives. So i guess once hitler killed himself the pressure was on for the horrible things that her new groom that was onced a groom died then she would have to suffer the consequences so they both commited suicide.

  94. I learned yesterday that in concenration camps they killed people by putting them in gas chambers filled with poisionous gases. Also they had gas chambers disguised as vans that people were put into and killed.

  96. I strongly agree with Lauren N. (above) about how Jews had it the hardest. Their shops and businesses were shut down the Nazis even burned down Synagogues. They created a "law" that stated that all Jewish businesses, homes, and people had to were the star of David to show everyone that they were Jewish.

  97. Andrew.

    I had no idea that other people other than Jews were persecuted. I still can't believe that anyone could have the heart to kill millions of innocent people, just because they are different on the outside.

  98. WELL MY OPION ON THE PERSECUTION WOULD HAVE TO BE THAT OTHERS RACES THAT GOT PEWRSECUTED WOULD HAVE TO BE JEWS, JAHOVAWITNESES, HOMOSEXCUAL, THE HANDICAPED AND GYPISES. I THINK THE WORLD WOULD BE REAL BORING IF EVERBODY HAD BLONDE HAIR BLUE EYES. EVERY WERE U LOOKED U WOULD SE THAT SAME PERSON THERE WOULD BE NUTHIN U WOULD UNIQUE FOR LIKE FOR EXAMPLE I THINK A UNIQUE PART OF ME IS MY DARK BLACK/PUERTO RICAN HAIR ITS SRUMSHISH

  99. I think it's ridiculous that someone thought it was okay to kill millions of people, just because they were different than what he wanted them to be. Hitler's "perfect race" included only tall blondes with blue eyes, so other groups of people such as Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, and handicapped people were all killed in huge masses. But what makes it worse is that Hitler wasn't even tall, blonde, with blue eyes. He was such a hypocrite!

  100. My topic was Maps and Timelines but while doing my research I also learned that not only Jews were targeted but the gypsies and homosexuals as well. I always thought that only the Jews were persecuted.

  101. My topic is Persecution in Germany. The German nazi targeted Gypsies, Gays, Handicapped individuals, and Jews. The Nazi considered Jews not as a religion but as a poisonuse race. How can the Nazi judge other religious groups when the German nazi is the people doing wrong? For hitler, the ideal "aryan" was blond, blue eyed, and tall. To me that would be come anoyying and confusing very fast. The German Nazi deported jewish familys to extermination camps in poland. I think every ideal, and everything the German nazi did was wrong and just plain old evil. Hitler used propoganda to convince everyone to "walk to there death". Hitler was a very Convincing and also a extremely good speaker. He always used those advantages to convice everyone to follow his evil plan.. And look where that got them.

  103. I'm not sure about this but, The Holocaust (I think) didn't start out killing everyone "imperfect". Th Jews were put to work and various low jobs. They weren't killed until The Nazis couldn't find where to put them. So they started making death camps.

  104. My topic was Persecution of Germany and one way Adolf Hitler tried to make the master race of blonde hair and blue eyes by creating a strelization program that killed all the others that weren't his "master" race.Other than the the Jews other people persecuted were homosexuals, prostituties, and the handdicapped. Also the religions that were also persecuted was Jehovah's witnesses.

  105. I think learning about the persecution in Germany really made understand how many people were affected by Hitler. Not just the Jews.
