    Notes on Holocaust Powerpoint Slide 4.

    Persecution of Jews in Europe Before the 19th century, the history of persecution was religiously motivated. Anti Judaism mainly stemmed from belief that Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus. In 19th and 20th cent with the rise of pseudo- scientific ideas about race, racial Anti-Semitism developed. Justification of Hitlers views about Jews was founded in these new racial sciences and justified the idea of racial inferiority of the Jewish people This was very dangerous . Previously Jews had been able to convert to avoid persecution. Racial science ruled out this escape for Jews under Hitlers regime. Slide 5 There were a number of events that contributed to the weakening of the Jewish position in German society before the War. Note: The Great Depression- Inflation was so great in Germany, that you needed a wheelbarrow to carry notes to go shopping. Money virtually worthless Kristallnacht burning of Jewish synagogs and torah. Breaking of windows of Jewish businesses. Jews were fined for the damage. Slide 10: The Final Solution The Nazis frequently used euphemistic language to disguise the true nature of their crimes. They used the term Final Solution to refer to their plan to annihilate the Jewish people. It is not known when the leaders of Nazi Germany definitively decided to implement the "Final Solution." The genocide, or mass destruction, of the Jews was the culmination of a decade of increasingly severe discriminatory measures. Under the rule of Adolf Hitler, the persecution and segregation of Jews was implemented in stages. After the Nazi party achieved power in Germany in 1933, its state-sponsored racism led to anti-Jewish legislation, economic boycotts, and the violence of the Kristallnacht ("Night of Broken Glass") pogroms, all of which aimed to systematically isolate Jews from society and drive them out of the country.
