What Happened After Nazis Essay

Not everyone that was killed was Jewish. It also included other people that will be talked about in the essay. Such as there was homosexuals who were affected just as much as the Jewish community. Then there was also Roma's and if you are not to sure who they are, excuse me but they were called gypsies. Next there was a bit of a more depressing one who were the elderly and disabled. Finally there were also a story of twins and that were tested and worked on. One of the main reasons why the nazis went after homosexuals was because they were considered weak, and didn't have a right to be anywhere near the nazis because they were feminine and couldn't fight for what they believed in. Another huge reason why they didn't want the homosexuals anywhere
near was because the couldn't build or strengthen the nazis by making children. They believed that being "gay" was a sickness and that the only way to fix it was to put an end to it. They would use "pink lists" to determine who the gays were and so they could kill them. This also wasn't only restricted to men though lesbians were also persecuted they weren't taken to much as a threat because they could make children. ( ushmm) A rough estimate of the total amount of homosexuals altogether that were killed were around 15,000. This put a damper on the community but this didn't stop them in fact it pushed them further. Roma's Hitler was killing disabled and elderly because he believed the were a problem and something was wrong with them and like the homosexuals he killed them for that.
He had a whole program that was called "euthanasia". He said it would be easier to get rid of the problem then deal with it. He believed he was doing people a favor by all these heartless killings. ( Jewish virtual library ). There was around 270,000 disabled and elderly people that were killed. He did all of this because he thought he was helping the doctors and freeing them from their duties. ( holocaust education ). The reason why twins were sought after was for experiments. Hitler would assign doctors to do specific experiments such as injecting chemicals into their eyes to change the eye color. They would also inject diseases into a twin then transfer it over the the other twin to see if she would survive. The twins would get so experimented on they would kill them and they would be happy because it was literally torture ( huffington post). They don't have any specific amount of twins harmed or killed because of this. All the twins went through hell and back. They things they saw was shocking, depressing, and terrifying all at the same
time.(bbc) Not only did Hitler kill Jews he also killed Roma's, homosexuals, twins, and disabled people. The reason was because he believed they were sick and needed to be dealt with. He would merciless kill disabled people. He would shut down gay bars and hunt them down. He put twins through rigorous test and experiments. Hitler killed to kill and there was more and forgotten people that were killed besides the Jews.
