Genocide
In this paper I will write about the extermination of the Jews and other people whom Hitler considered inferior in following from the year 1933 to 1945. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany led this destruction. As a result, about 12 million people were murdered, half of them were Jews. When Hitler took over the Germany and everything changed, he had a strong prejudice against the Jews. Because of this Hitler wanted to create only one pure blood with blonde hair and blue eyes Germans. Hitler then became a dictator who formed massive genocide on not only Jews, but also others such as Gypsies, mentally ill people, and homosexuals as well. He established six concentration camps, and many doctors who ran tests on people, but didn’t care if the patients were hurt or even killed. Later in this paper, I will also address a little bit about how the genocide or the holocaust affected to the people, and what would happen after the war was over. First of all, I want to define the word “genocide”, in Greek “Geno” means race, and in Latin “cide” means killing. If we put two words together as “Genocide” which means the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national or ra
Because of such theory, Hitler was planed for the ending of the struggle between the Aryan race and the inferior races. He then became a dictator who wanted to control everyone or remove everything if they opposed the Nazis. He knew he had the power in his hand, so he used it to gain his benefit. Since, he could win people’s trust; he let them believe certain things that most people didn’t want. People in some reasons were forced into his party by threats or warnings. Back from the year 1938 when Hitler established the “final solution” that he wanted to demonstrate his political power in Germany to the Jews. As a result, the horrible concentration, death camps, and other parts of Nazis-controlled in Europe were built. People around the world were shocked by these acts but if they spoke up or against Hitler they would be put to death. It was a dark time in the history of the 20th century. By doing this, Hitler accused and blamed Jews for all things such as they were the cause of loosing the war, the Black death started from the Jews, or even the Jews seemed to be Satan. Then he believed that all Jewish culture had to be destroyed; all newspapers, magazines, books, music, arts, movies, were burn or controlled by the Nazis “[i]t is but too easily forgotten that if we speak of Aryan and Semitic families, the ground of that classification is language and language only. There are Aryan and Semitic languages, but it is against all rules of logic to speak…of an Aruan race, of Aryan blood, or Aryan skulls, and to attempt ethnological classification on purely linguistic grounds” (Meltzer 1976). Hitler was not only became a dictator, but also as a racist, who always discriminated or was prejudiced to Jewish people “the theory of anti-Semitism ...that Jews, or Semites, had an inborn character that made them a “slave race,” while the Germans, or Aryans, were the “master race” (Meltzer 1976). Racism is an unmerited fear or dislike of a person because of his/her heritage. In America, people discriminate others by color of skin like black and white, or minority groups such as Africans, Hispanics, and Asians. In Germany it was different, because people discriminated others due to the fact that they are being “Jewish” such “[w]hen Jewish blood spurts from the knife, then everything will be fine!” or “[w]e don’t deal with Jews” (Meltzer 1976). The crime of genocide has been committed in the past history. For example, Russians against the Jews, the Turkish against the Americans in World War II, the slaughter of more than a million Cambodians in the 70’s, and the widespread killing of Muslim in Bosnia. The best example which has been known as the greatest destruction and devastation in human history was Hitler and his party “Nazism”. Under leadership of Adolf Hitler, he attempted to kill almost six million non-Jews and Jews based on the theory of race supremacy (the master race) and racial purity (only one blood in Germany”. The worst thing was in 1939, Jewish people were not even regarded as humans, they seemed as slaves, and the German would kill or humiliate without reasons. Thus, Jewish children could not attend schools, their rights to own land had been taken away and they were not allowed to socialize with non-Jewish people. They could not walk on streets, public events, go to the museums, or even stay at the parks. To make it more effective, Hitler established the “ghettos” where he would keep them away for the general public ‘in the meantime the terror within the ghetto kept increasing while the ghetto’s isolation from the outside world became more and more rigid”(Levin 1990). There were many Jews being suffered hungry and disease in the ghettos “hunger broke through all barriers. Smuggling was organized spontaneously on a large scale….or they would make their way to an apartment, cautiously and timidly knock on the door, and with eloquent eyes beg for food” (Levin 19
