This made it really hard for them to really fight back because most of them were poor and could not afford weapons like guns or knives ( Hass). Since the Jews had no power over The Nazis they were forced to do anything they wanted them to do. From 1933 to 1945 Jews were in a tough time along with the people that were against Hitler and his group of Nazis that were out to kill the Jews. Over those twelve years, many things had happened, many lives and businesses were lost in the Holocaust. Many people moved to the United States or Israel(US Holocaust memorial) because they couldn’t stand living in Europe during the time of the Holocaust.
The genocide of the Jews was a culminaion of a decade of German police. The Jews were dehumanized in many different ways. One way they were dehumanized was by the Hungarian police and they were yelling “Faster, Faster! Move, you lazy good- for nothing!”
Jewish people were victim of the abuse that they received from the "Superior" Aryan race, they were sent towards concentration camp and were treated harshly and killed in cold blood, simply because of their religion, this was called the holocaust. Only a small amount of Jews survived the holocaust, a lot of stories from Jews who had suffered through the horror of concentration camp had surfaced and revealed the horror that they experienced, one of this Jews that spoke up is Joseph Sher.
they were numbered caged and used. The people there who were not prisoner’s looked down at them and spat at them as if they were less than dirt... nothing but filthy creatures. All of their possessions were taken away, clothes, jewelry, hair, names...and they had no identity only work, aching stomachs, and despair forced to wear a yellow star; the Jewish people were forced into ghettos; the ghettos were emptied and the people deported to concentration camps. Prisoners were
The Jewish people were murdered in camps, put to hard labor work, or looked down at by the Germans in general. Being a Jewish person meant that you couldn't travel, or own land, or do anything normal (German) person would do. Even as something simple like giving a piece of bread or painting over Jewish slurs, would get questioned about your loyalty and would get people thinking that they are agisnt the “Nazis”. The Nazi regime had brought radical and daunting social, economic change to the German Jewish community. If you were a terribly poor German with no money or food or good family.
Jews were forced to give up everything they cared about
People were already suffering in the ghettos. The Polish Jews had to share small homes with many other families. The Nuremberg Laws were in effect which took away many of the rights of Jews. During the liquidation they separated Jews into two sections. Essential workers, which were workers with skills that were useful, such as farmers or metal workers, and non-essential workers, which were workers with skills that weren’t useful, such as teachers or babysitters.
They were dehumanized through violence because after constantly getting beaten it could make them lose hope of being saved. Next, when the SS guards constantly called them names which could cause them to lose their humanity or more. The last way the Jews were dehumanized was through being treated like cargo because this caused the Jews to feel helpless and start to make them lose hope. In the time of the Holocaust the Jewish people were abused, call the names, and were treated badly. These three conditions had caused the Jews to be dehumanized in the time of the
The Jews were stripped from their basic god given human rights. The Jews were isolated in fenced towns called ghettos. Wiesel’s friend Moishe Chaim Berkowitz described his travels in Hungary and encounter with antisemitism, “The Jews of Budapest live in an atmosphere of fear and terror. Anti-Semitic acts take place everyday, in the streets, on the trains. The fascists attack Jewish stores, synagogues.
Rights such as “to frequent restaurants or cafés, to travel by rail, to attend synagogue, to be on the streets after six o’clock in the evening.” (Wiesel 11) was taken away from the Jews. After that, Jews were put into ghettos. Ghettos are surrounded by a barbed wire fence, so no one can get in or out. People inside have to rely on food and other supplies being brought to the ghetto.
Jewish citizens had to experience this every day, and a variety of other inhumane events both in the Ghettos and in the concentration camps, which led to most Jews suffering from horrendous
They were forced to live in horrible conditions, separated from any non-Jews. These ghettos were used as a control tactic, already putting dehumanization into place by segregating and exploiting Jewish inhabitants as part of the systematic dehumanization orchestrated by the Nazis. Upon their arrival, they are separated from their mother and sister and put into different lines, herded like animals, like they are less than them. They keep
The Holocaust is a time in history when millions of people were persecuted in Europe by being sent to live in ghettos and eventually being deported to concentration camps where they were systematically annihilated until the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors. The Jews were moved to the ghettos, because Hitler pushed the Jews to move to the east, then they concore move of the east and move them more to the east. Then “there was no more room for them to move to the east, so they built ghettos for them to live” (Byers 32). But his true intentions were to “separate the Jewish people from manly Germans and also other races” (Allen 37).
Jews were carted away into prison or segregated areas by the cartful each day on the streets. Furthermore, Jews were not allowed to do simple actions, such as take pictures or play sports. They were regarded by the government as “subhuman”. The hate grew even stronger on November 19, 1938 when the Nazis destroyed every synagogue or Jewish owned store in Germany. Hitler’s book Mein Kampf became propaganda which allowed him and his National Socialist Party to rise to power.
