Presentation Transcript

  1. The Holocaust (Ch. 16, Sec. 3)

  2. Why did Hitler blame the Jews for Germany’s problems? • Hitler used his hatred of Jews to unite the German people by blaming the Jews for Germany’s problems • Nuremburg Laws (1935) stripped the Jews of their rights to German citizenship (Yellow Star of David) • Kristallnacht (“Night of Broken Glass”) was a vicious attack on Jewish community by Nazi storm troopers • The attack caused many Jews to flee Germany for other countries & safety (refugees) • When other countries began to refuse the refugees, Hitler needed to find a solution to the Jewish problem

  3. The Gate to Krakow Ghetto

  4. The Umschlagplatz (relocation area)

  5. How did Hitler isolate the Jews from society? • Hitler then decided to isolate the remaining Jews into ghettos (designated cities) • The ghettos were sealed off from the rest of society using barbed wire & stone walls • The ghettos were extremely crowded & living conditions were horrible • Sanitation was non-existent and food was scarce • The Nazis hoped disease & starvation would solve the problem, but the Jews continued to survive

  6. What was Hitler’s “Final Solution” for the “Jewish problem”? • Hitler’s “Final Solution” (to protect the Aryan race) was outright genocide • He sent out death squads to round up and kill Jews • Those not killed were sent to concentration camps and lived in horrible conditions • Concentration camps became nothing more than extermination camps • In Auschwitz, they gassed people in fake showers & later began to use ovens to get rid of the evidence • Roughly 6 million Jews died in German death camps

  7. Ovens Used to Cremate Bodies of Jewish Dead

  8. Jewish Bodies Found at Extermination Camp by Allied Soldiers
