Ida B. Wells-Barnett ( 1862 – 1931) was an African American woman  who was an investigative journalist and a leader of the civil rights movement in America. She displayed the unjust treatment of the blacks and especially the lynching of black people at that racially divided time. She was one of the founders of the NAACP.

<u>The unique challenges she faced in fighting for the rights of African American women: </u>

- Her newspaper and press were destroyed by a white mob

- She was continually threatened to be killed so she had to move from Memphis to Chicago

- She had to face public disapproval for her fight in the women’s suffrage movement

         Ida B. Wells was a pioneer in denouncing lynching crimes against blacks in the South of U.S. They were victims of these violent deaths under accusations of crimes ; Wells investigated the issue and discovered that most of the said crimes were false stories and that the lynchings had to do with prejudice and the white's fear of competition ( as some business with black owners was starting to succeed.).

         The situation was even worse to black women, as they were lynched too by unfounded reasons, and had less rights than black men; There wasn't protection for them under the law.  

       Wells has advocated exposing the lynching on her Newspaper and in tours where she would give speeches. <u>There was an effort on silencing her: she received death threats, lost her job as a teacher and her newspaper office was destroyed by a white mob. </u>Despite all the attacks against her she continued to write on the issue, being invited on Europe to speak as well. She was engaged on the founding of the National Association of Colored Women's Club and the Alpha Suffrage Club, both created to improve the chances of black woman on achieving rights.

         Ida B. Wells is considered a main character of the Civil Rights Movement by the international reach of her accounting of the horrors of racist violence.

Why did Hitler hatred Jews in his administration?? Explain in detail.​<br>Answer in about 100 words.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:-

Hitler did not invent the hatred of Jews. Jew is Europe had been victims of discrimination and persecution since the Middle Ages, often on religious grounds. Christians saw the Jewish faith as an aberration that had to be quashed. They were forced to convert or else were not allowed to perform certain professions.

In the nineteenth century, religion played a less important and was soon replaced by 'theories'. Theories regarding races and peoples. The idea that the Jews belonged to a different race than the Germans soon caught on. Even those who converted to Christianity were hated because of their bloodline.

Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. He developed his political ideas in Vienna, a city with a large Jewish community, where he lived from 1907 to 1913. In those days, Vienna had a mayor who was very anti-Jewish, and hatred of Jews was very common in the city. But it was not Hitler who invented the hatred. He only capitalized on anti-Semitic ideas that had been around for a long time.

During the First World War(1914-1918), Hitler was a soldier of the German army. At the end of the war Hitler, like many others, could not accept the defeat of the Germans. Soon rumors were spread that Germany was not defeated on the battlefield but by a 'stab-in-the-back'. In simpler terms they Germans were betrayed by the Jews and the communists, who wanted to bring the left-wing government to power. Hitler during the economic crisis became a stereotypical enemy of the Jews an the only way to bring end to the poverty, he thought, was execution of Jews and communists.

During the 1930s, Hitler did everything he could to expel the Jews from German society. Once the war had started, the Nazis resorted to mass murder. Nearly six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. The ideas that Hitler developed in the 1920s remained more or less the same until his death in 1945. What did change is that in 1933, he was handed the power to start realizing them.
