Nazi laws aimed to remove the civil and economical rights of Jews in the 1930s. They wanted to create a biologically pure generation of people who had blonde haired and blue eyed. To be a Jew, you had anything but blonde hair and blue eyes. On November 15, 1938, German Jewish children were prohibited from attending German schools, and were banned from parks, pools, or any other public places. Children died, were hidden, rescued, starved, gassed, shot, orphaned, and experimented to create a pure generation with no Jews.…
Hitler had taken over, 121 new laws and ordinances were made to make life difficult for German Jews, they were called the Nuremberg laws, and they lasted from 1935-1939. Men were killed off or sent to work, all ages, young and old. Through all the chaos and killing, Gerda Weissman Klein had survived to tell her story about her time during the Holocaust.…
Nuremberg Trials started to gain justice for all the victims that lost their lives during the holocaust. Many people do not know that most of the intimate were not Jews because they were sent straight off to the death camps (¨Nuremberg Trials¨ 1). People now correlate the Jews and the Holocaust together because the Jews were the most targeted group of the Holocaust. Nuremberg Trials was a series of 13 trails placed in Nuremberg, Germany (¨Nuremberg Trials¨ 1).…
His government, the Third Reich, began scouting Germany for non-pure citizens, and also selectively bred humans and created laws against marriages between pure and non-pure people trying to create perfect families. They began to sterilize these non-pure people, in turn creating the massacre of what has been known as the Holocaust. The Holocaust ended after the Germans had surrendered to the Allied Forces, and this…
In late 1935, the Nazis introduced the Nuremberg Laws, which, most notably, required targeted minorities to be clearly identifiable at all times and lowered them to the status of state subjects, effectively stripping them of their citizenships . This served to paint a target on the minorities.…
These policies were intended to create a social divide within Germany. The argument from the Nazis was that the Jews had penetrated into the German bloodline. Friedlander points out the Nazi’s twenty-five-point party programs of February 24, 1920 had four points, four, five, six, and eight, dealing with the “Jewish question (Friedlander 26).” However, nothing in the program necessary laid out a way to achieve these goals. These ideas set up what is to come—that is, the Nuremberg laws. These racist laws were protecting the “German” blood by making it illegal for Jews and “aryans” to marry or have intercourse (Friedlander 142). Friedlander explains, “taken at face value, the Nuremberg Laws did not mean the end of Jewish life in Germany (Friedlander 143).” The Jews still had a place in Germany—it wasn’t at all good, but it existed to some degree. However, Friedlander wants the reader to know “once again, after taking a major step in line with his ideological goals, Hitler aimed at defusing its most extreme consequences on a tactical level (Friedlander 144).” Hitler wanted a slow transition and not to be “rush ahead” with extending new laws. Friedlander also points out that Hitler could also turn into a brash and reactionary individual (Friedlander 144). Some of his decisions reflected this. The protection of the…
Of the 185 defendants of the Nuremberg Trials, 12 received a death sentence, 8 received life prison, and 77 received prison terms varying in numbers. Some had committed suicide before they could be executed. These executions caused the United Nations to create certain documents trying to keep world peace. For example, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created. Following World War II, the Nuremberg Trials impacted the world then and in the future in many ways. To begin, the Nuremberg Trials were a series of trials prosecuting and questioning Nazi war criminals. Next, the results of the trials were 7 more trials held for less important Nazi war criminals. Lastly, there were many Nazi war criminals still to be found.…
On September fifteenth, 1935 dictators began imposing the Nuremberg Laws that created it exhausting for Jews to participate in their traditional everyday lives. The laws patterned Jews of their citizenship, created it banned for Jews to marry non-Jews, removed Jews from colleges and prevented Jews from bound professions like serving within the military. once this happened, several Jews were shipped off to death aka concentration camps, killed, beaten, or forced to insect.…
As Lebensborn programs gained momentum, deliberately selected Aryan-appearing people endured various tests to be deemed fit for breeding. According to “The Nazi Eugenics,” Nazi doctors and Nazi communities actively sought out and “reported” people with mental or physical disabilities to be sterilized in order to promote eugenics and prevent contamination (1). Nazis targeted minorities for their traits and celebrated the enforcement of eugenics, establishing collectivism that strengthened the Nazi State. In fact, according to “The Biological,” the Law for the Prevention of Genetically Diseased Offspring enforced the invasive sterilization of almost “400,000 Germans”, resulting in hundreds of fatalities (2-3). These dangerous procedures resulted in the forced sterilization of unwilling victims in unsanitary conditions, however, sterilization of impure people quickly caught on. Surprisingly, the German influence of encouraging sterilization carried over internationally. Sterilization rates significantly increased in “American states...and new laws were passed in Finland, Norway, and Sweden during the same period” (“The Biological” 1), illustrating Germany’s influential presence on the international stage. Designed to restrict impure relationships, the 1935 ‘Blood Protection Law,’ “criminalized marriage or sexual relations…
In 1933, Nazi Germany similarly passed sterilization laws, and even used actual wording from the US legislation for the foundation of these new laws. The concepts behind eugenics fit well for their intentions tocreate a better world for themselves by improving the Aryan race. As a result, more than 400,000 Jews were involuntarily sterilized among other atrocities which were committed. Other countries like Canada, Japan, China and Sweden also used some form of eugenics on their…
By the end of World War II, about two-thirds of the Jewish population were killed. Countless people lost their family and their friends. When the survivors were released from the concentration camps, numerous individuals had nowhere to go, and no place to call home. The Allied forces tried a multitude of Nazi War criminals in the Nuremberg Trials hoping that the imprisonment or killing of these flawed, yet guilty German officials would bring justice to those who survived the Holocaust. But was justice truly ever achieved?…
