During the Great Depression • Many Jewish people remained well-off. This made people who lost their jobs angry. • People were afraid that immigrants and Jewish people would take their jobs.
Propaganda • The Nazi party used this anger and fear to convince people their persecution of Jewish people was right. • Using bad science some German scientists tried to assign racial traits to Jews as a group. They were, the Germans said, greedy, selfish, sneaky and polluting the German race.
Treatment of Jews • More and more rights were taken away from Jewish people • Had to wear yellow star to identify them • Were not allowed to be doctors, teachers, lawyers and many other jobs • Had to follow curfews and strict rules about where they could go
The Holocaust • Eventually many of Europe’s Jews were sent to death camps • Over 6 million Jewish people died in the Holocaust • Over 1 million of those were children
