During 1948 and 1994 Apartheid was a system of racial segregation enforced by the government of South Africa. The rights of the majority non-whites were restricted while the minority white population was maintained. These documents show economic, political, and social relations.…
Through out Germania, Tacitus used ethnicity and race to define sets of people. Ethnicity is a social group of people that share common aspects of their life, such as religion language, and culture. Race, is a group of people who are similar and have distinct physical characteristics that they commonly share. In today’s times, race and ethnicity is how we often categorize people.…
Hitler tried to make as many people hate Jews as possible. The Nazis made ads that stated that Jews were the reason they were suffering. The Nazis also took Jewish people away and put them in camps, known as concentration camps. People in both camps lived in bad conditions. Some of the Japanese came close to death and starvation.…
The Jews who once helped and cared for each other, turned against one another, and the Germans only gained more and more from it. The Nazis were fueled with power and terror. This was shown a lot in the video Night and Fog. Jews have the face of fragility; Nazis, control. In the video, the Jews look so weak, to the point looks like is a thin layer of skin covering their bones. Their facial expressions look emotionless, yet it looks like they're crying out for help all at the same time. The Nazis on the other hand look empowered and show off a face that contains no mercy. Jews and Gypsies and the disabled were all killed by one group, yet they showed no concern for anybody but themselves. In another part of Night and Fog, the video shows what the Nazis do with the remains of the victims. The Nazis, instead of disposing of the bodies with care, used the corpses for their own benefit. Hair was used to make rope and mattresses, while the bodies were used for soup that would be fed to others. There was no thought of love or caution, only complete destruction. The Nazis only gained more when they did this, igniting the flame of their control. They were built up, and it seemed as there was no hope for the good in the world, for evil has taken…
Second of all, in the Nazi culture, they achieve their goals by violence and force. The aftereffect of these actions comes with the destruction, hence, the Nazi culture taints the setting and the landscape with violence and death. Their negative acts and influence provoke pain through the Jewish community as they experience loss. For example, on November 9th, 1938, Nazi leaders conducted a progrom in spite of the Jews, “In two days […] over 7,000 businesses were trashed and looted, dozens of Jewish people were killed, and Jewish cemeteries, hospitals, schools and homes were looted while police and fire brigades stood by” (“The ‘Night of Broken Glass’”). Additionally, gallows and executions were held at concentration camps, the ghettos and even in public streets. That being said, the anti-Semitism caused…
Accordingly, the Germans and the Jews were segregated bylaws and they couldn’t go to the same school, theatre, parks, and other public…
The population in Poland was densely ⅔ of Jewish immigrants but also their standard of living was poor to nothing at all. As well as the mortality rate was at an all time high and the population of Germany decreased severely from the migration towards Israel/Palestine and other Jewish states, as well as the total deaths that occurred. In Germany, the equality of people remained strictly towards those who followed the communist pathway, and didn’t belong to a Jewish community. Even the younger children of Jewish communities suffered more than others because they couldn’t contribute as much work and the Nazi’s refused for them to grow up as a Jewish descendant.…

I decided to do my research paper on blacks during and after the holocaust. Historians continuously say that these group of persons has had the least amount of research written about them. Hitler planned to persecute anyone that stood out and wasn’t apart of the Aryan race. Many varieties of people were exiled, stripped of their dignity and shunned just for being who they were. Any African Americans or blacks living in Germany were economically and socially degraded (Lester). Hitler's national government wouldn’t allow blacks to enroll in local colleges, they’d be forced to give up their jobs and business, and would even be deported out of the country. Any type of marital status between a white woman and black man or a black woman and white man was prohibited by the government. When the Gestapo would catch interracial children or adults they would sterilize them and force them into being a prisoner of war or even thrown into internment camps. The Nazi party referred to them as “Rhineland Bastards” since they were offspring of Black French men and white German women. If a couple was found married…
Nazis referred to Jews as rats. When Nazis called Jews subhuman, they meant it. They were both executed and tortured for their differences to other people. Blacks would be beaten to death or hanged for fighting back, leaving the property without permission, and trying to escape or helping slaves escape. Jews were put in concentration camps that would slowly kill…
Jews were gradually being kicked out of German society by the Nazis through all of the laws created. This wasn’t right for the Nazis to do. This caused hard times for Jewish families as they became more and more close to being killed. Nazis had created commercials, posters, and passages in newspapers that discrimenated against Jews.…
Before tackling the issue of racism in Germany or elsewhere, we first need to be aware of the term “racism” and its origins. According to Professor Marion Kaplan’s lecture, racism is a 15th century idea created following European observations of perceived biological markings. Racism denotes a hierarchy of superiority and inferiority based on factors such as gender, skin tone, and other biological characteristics. The word race stems from Arabic ras, which means beginning, origin, or head (Burleigh 23). Racism connotes external differences in people who are singled out and denigrated for their religion, physical appearance, or socioeconomic status. Racism began before WWII in Germany, but the way the Nazis carried out violence through racism,…
The Nazis who were under the charge of Adolf Hitler felt that Germans were racially predominant while the Jews were considered as a secondary racial bunch whose population in the new state would crash the expansionist wishes of Adolf Hitler. In the midst…
Racial inequality remains a daily and general fact of life still to this day. It happens in many different forms. Some basics, housing, (People of the same race will live only in community were other people of their same race and or wealth are just for comfort) credit markets, (Minorities will always have a harder time receiving credit because of the history of lack of wealth) employment (Employees tend to hire a white person over a minority and when handed a resume, a white name on a resume [John vs Jamal] would get looked at first,) education (because minorities tend to live in poor neighborhood the school lack resources and fund, thus leaves for poor education )and the criminal justice(minorities always look guilty in…
Racism is an evil of a very high degree and it is evident through observation. In our society, being tagged a racist is among the greatest assault on one's character. And the word 'racism' itself has become so divisive, hostile and shameful that the topic is mostly avoided or downplayed in almost any discussion or debate except when intended to attack the character of someone or an opponent.…
