The Holocaust The Final Solution

Anti -Semitism This is the term given to political, social and economic agitation against Jews. In simple terms it means ‘Hatred of Jews’. Aryan Race This was the name of what Hitler believed was the perfect race. These were people with full German blood, blonde hair and blue eyes.

For hundreds of years Christian Europe had regarded the Jews as the Christ -killers. At one time or another Jews had been driven out of almost every European country. The way they were treated in England in the thirteenth century is a typical example. In 1275 they were made to wear a yellow badge. In Jews were hanged in the Tower of London. This deep prejudice against Jews was still strong in the twentieth century, especially in Germany, Poland and Eastern Europe, where the Jewish population was very large. In Germany after Hitler’s rise to power hundreds of Jews were blamed for the defeat in the World War I. The economic depression was also blamed on them. Many Germans were poor and unemployed and wanted someone to blame. They turned on the Jews, many of whom were wealthier and successful in business. Jews were a SCAPEGOAT

Nazi Legal Restrictions Nuremberg Laws (1935) stripped Jews of their civil rights (and property if they tried to leave Germany). Those over the age of 6 had to wear a bright yellow Star of David on their clothing. Nov. 9, 1938, Kristallnacht (night of broken glass) gangs of Nazis attack Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues across Germany.

Other Nation’s Responses To The Jewish Issue After 1938 Thousands of Jews try to leave Germany, but countries such as Britain and France wouldn’t accept any more Jews. The U.S. also refused to relax its immigration quotas, which allowed only about 60,000 to enter our country. From an anti-Semitic children's book - the sign reads "Jews are not wanted here"

The St. Louis Incident The St. Louis was a German luxury liner filled with refugees that was not allowed to dock in Miami in of the 943 passengers had legal U.S. immigration papers. The ship would sail up and down the east coast attempting to come to port, but was denied each time. The ship would eventually go back to Germany and most of the passengers would end up in concentration camps.

Between 1939 and 1945 six million Jews were murdered by the Nazi’s, along with hundreds of thousands of others, such as Gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the disabled and the mentally ill. Genocide: (the mass killing of a specific group of people).

A Total of 6,000,000 Jews and millions of others Percentage of the Population of Jewish People killed in each country

Concentration Camps (Labor Camps, Death Camps) Concentration camps were used as slave labor camps and also death facilities. Those who were too weak to work were killed. Beginning in 1941 the Germans would construct 6 death camps in Poland. The largest of these camps could kill up to 6,000 people each day.

A MAP OF THE MAJOR CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND DEATH CAMPS USED BY THE NAZIS.

16 of the 44 children taken from a French children’s home. They were sent to a concentration camp and later to Auschwitz. ONLY 1 SURVIVED A group of children at a concentration camp in Poland.

Part of a stockpile of Zyklon-B poison gas pellets used in the gas chambers found at Majdanek death camp. Before poison gas was used, after the invasion of Russia, Jews were gassed in mobile gas vans. Carbon monoxide gas from the engine’s exhaust was fed into the sealed rear compartment. Victims were dead by the time they reached the burial site. The Nazi’s determined this to be too costly.

After being poisoned: bodies are cremated. Smoke rises as the bodies are burnt.

An Example: Babi Yar in Ukraine: September 1941 Jewish women, some holding infants, are forced to wait in a line before their execution by Germans and Ukrainian collaborators.

A German guard shoots individual Jewish women who remain alive in the ravine after the mass execution.

Portrait of two-year-old Mania Halef, a Jewish child who was among the 33,771 persons shot by the SS during the mass executions at Babi Yar, September, 1941.

Nazis sift through a huge pile of clothes left by victims of the massacre. Two year old Mani Halef’s clothes are somewhere amongst these.

After liberation, an Allied soldier displays a stash of gold wedding rings taken from victims at Buchenwald. Bales of hair shaven from women at Auschwitz, used to make felt-yarn. Much of which is woven into slippers for U-boat crews.

Soviet POWs at forced labor in 1943 exhuming bodies in the ravine at Babi Yar. In 1943, when the number of murdered Jews exceeded 1 million. Nazis ordered the bodies of those buried to be dug up and burned to destroy all traces.

“Until September 14, 1939 my life was typical of a young Jewish boy in that part of the world in that period of time. I lived in a Jewish community surrounded by gentiles. Aside from my immediate family, I had many relatives and knew all the town people, both Jews and gentiles. Almost two weeks after the outbreak of the war and shortly after my Bar Mitzvah, my world exploded. In the course of the next five and a half years I lost my entire family and almost everyone I ever knew. Death, violence and brutality became a daily occurrence in my life while I was still a young teenager.” Leonard Lerer, 1991
