Heroes of the Holocaust Nicole Grondin Block 4X
Nazi Germany “The first country the Nazis took over was their own.” Nazis gained power 1933 Poor conditions and morality made it easy for Hitler to over Aryans treated extremely well Minorities: not so well
The Beginning Simple discrimination Identification Losing rights “Identification, that’s how it starts. And ends with being rounded up, experimented on, and eliminated.” Minorities rounded up and shipped out Some people tried to stand against Nazis but were killed
Heating Up For a while, no one helped the Jews When things got very bad (extermination) more people stood against the Nazis Simple help Hiding in trash cans, attics, barns, and cellars Helping Jews became punishable by death
Did Germans Fight Back? Not many “Aryans” fought back Opposition mainly by minorities Resisting arrest Hiding Assisting others Refuge in other countries
Did Jews Fight Back? Many ghetto uprisings Successful for a short time until Nazi brought out heavy artillery Riots in camps Not successful at all Everyone involved killed
