The persecution of the Jews-The people who the Nazis hated most and treated most dreadfully was
the Jewish population
-Anti-Semitism means hatred of Jews
-Throughout Europe Jews had been discriminated hundreds of years which
resulted them being treated unjustly in courts or forced living in ghettos
-One reason was religious:
--The Jews were blamed for the death of Jesus
-Another was that they tend to be well educated and therefore had well-
paid jobs or ran successful shops and businesses.
-Hitler hated the Jews insanely he had years of property in Vienna and
became obsessed by the fact that Jews ran the most successful
businesses and stores
-But this also clashed with his idea of Aryans being the perfect master
race
-He also blamed the Jewish businessmen and bankers for their defeat in
World War One
he thought they forced the surrender of the German army.

the state against the Jews

-In daily life Jesus face discrimination, they might be refused jobs, or a few
serves in schools and in schools’ Jewish children were humiliated and then
segregated
Kristallnacht
-In 1938 a young Jew killed a German diplomat in Paris which the Nazis
then use this as an excuse to launch revenge
-Plain-clothed SS troopers issued with pick-axes and hammers and the
addresses of Jewish businesses

--91 Jews murdered
