WHY THE JEWS?

  • For centuries the Jews have been a scapegoat for everyone's problems.
  • Like for instance during the Plague the Jewish were thought to have been poisoning the town wells. Which was one explanation for the plague.

HOW DID THE NAZI'S KILL MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

  • First they used them as a scapegoat for their problems
  • Second they made them out to be a race and if they had Jewish "blood" then they discriminated them
  • Third they made them move to bad parts of town they called this "ghettoization"
  • Fourth they destroyed all of the Jewish businesses over one night called "Kristallnacht"
  • fifth send them to labor camps and used them as slave labor then gassed the weak and unfit

WHO BESIDES HITLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE

  • This question is more opinionated, but everyone is to blame, Germany, the U.K, everyone.
  • That includes the U.S. They knew what was happening and did nothing to stop it.

WHY WASN'T THERE MORE RESISTANCE?

  • The guard for some of the camps weren't just lightly armed, they where heavily armed.

WHY DIDN'T THE JEWS ALL JUST LEAVE?

  • First the requirements that were needed to get out of Germany where crazy high
  • Second the requirements to go to the U.S where also pretty crazy.
