Gain a better understanding as to why Hitler targeted the Jews
Comparison between the treatment of Jews in Poland (Eastern Europe) and the treatment of Jews in Netherlands (Western Europe)

4. This cartoon’s
main focus is on
how Hitler wanted
the Jews gone.

5. Hitler’s Objectives! Although Anti- Semitism was strictly enforced by
Hitler, he was not by
any means the first.

6. Why did Hitler want them gone?
He claimed they were guilty for the death of Christ
In the eyes of the Nazis, the Jews were unworthy of life
Jews were stereotyped as communists
Additional Note:
Hilter had the same mentality towards the both mentally and physically disabled Aryans in Germany and had them injected with poison

7. This cartoon shows what names the Jews were called
by religious leaders. Hitler used these as excuses to
eradicate Europe of Jews.

8. A political cartoon drawn by Theodor Seuss Geisel on 22 September 1941 showing that Jews were generally discriminated against, even in America (as can be seen as the bird was wearing an American flag hat).

9. Comparison– A table (differences)
Treatment of Jews in Netherlands (Western Europe)
Treatment of Jews in Poland (Eastern Europe)
The Dutch Jews begun to be deported in July, 1942
The Polish Jews in Germany were expelled in October, 1938 and Poland was invaded by Germany in 1939
Anti- Semitism measures put in place in February ,1941
Anti-Semitism measures put in place as early as September 1933
From this, it could be said that Hitler was
harsher towards the Polish Jews as they were
put under terrible conditions for a period of
almost four more years than the Dutch Jews.

10. Dutch Jews favoured?
The Polish Jews were expelled from their country first, nearly four years before the Dutch Jews were deported.
1938, October Nearly 18,000 Polish Jews were expelled from Germany
1939, September 1- German invasion of Poland
1942, July - Start of deportations of Dutch - French Jews to Auschwitz

22. Comments:
Very informative about the treatment of Jews in general. Good use of propaganda posters and pictures.
However, the comparison is not effective, as there is insufficient info on treatment of Dutch and Polish Jews to back up your comparison.
