Hitler’s Vision
• Hitler becomes
Chancellor of Germany
in 1933

Germany (“master
race”)
• Nazi party claims all
non-Aryan’s are
inferior
• Blind, irrational hate
for Jews
The First “Solution”: 1933-1939
• Goal: Force German Jews to emigrate out of
their country.
• Laws strictly against Jews
– Banned Kosher butchers, limited number
of Jewish students in public schools &
universities, burned thousands of books by
Jewish authors
• Nuremberg Laws: 1935, Hitler announces 2
basic laws to Jews:
1.Reich citizenship: only those of
German/Aryan blood were citizens, all
others "subjects"
2.No marriage between Jews + Aryans
The First “Solution”: 1933-1939
• 1938, Jews forced to
give away and sell
their property.

practice
• Kristallnacht "Night of
Broken Glass" -Nov.9-10, 1938 Nazi's loot Jewish
shops, businesses,
burn synagogues,

• War provides a smokescreen for
genocide
• Nazi's start to gather Jews in controlled
territories and send them to ghettos
• Concentration Camps (labor camps)
established
– slave labor conditions with little or no food.
• By 1941, Jews couldn't escape or get
help, Allies had no communication with
people in Nazi territories
The “Final Solution”: 1941-1945
• German troops are
followed by mobile
killing units to
eliminate Jews
• Jews forces to dig own
graves and executed
• Establish 6 death
camps (Auschwitz)

bodies burned in
crematoria,
