World History 2

The Holocaust & Nuremburg Laws

The Holocaust began on 1933to 1945, the people it involved were the Jews and the Nazi's. The 

Greek word holokauston means sacrifice by fire. Nazi's persecuted the Jews and planned to slaughter 

them until death was upon them. Over 30 million Jewish people died during this malevolent and 

depressing event. Innocent people and innocent children were involved, over 1 million children died 

do to this crucial event. The worst part of Hitler was his false propaganda and false advertisement to 

his own people letting them know that the Jews were being treated respectfully and as normal human 

beings. Their soldiers and their community knew nothing about the cruel conditions and deaths that 

the Jews had to go through. Lies upon lies were made which makes it an unforgettable history. Hitler 

himself was an intelligent man who had planned this for awhile and it unfortunately executed very 

well. The Nuremberg Laws were issued on September 15, 1935, basically designed to exclude Jews 

from public life. The Nuremburg Laws without hesitation took away German Jew citizenship 

immediately, prohibited marriages and other things. Nazi's entered a lot of anti-Jewish laws such as, 

banning them from public parks, civil jobs, and were force to give their property back. A second law 

was announced on September 15, which was made by Nazi desire that to ensure the only existence of 

a "pure" German Nation in other words, "German-related Blood."
