Answer: Holocaust killed a third of Jews. Jews were persecuted for the anti-Semitic ideas of Nazi Germany. The Jews were imprisoned in concentration camps. The United States and the world have generally not done much for the Jews. The Holocaust had lasting consequences.
Explanation:
- Nazi crimes almost exterminated Jews from Europe. During World War II, about six million Jews were systematically killed. The most significant number were casualties in concentration camps stationed throughout Europe. In some parts of the Holocaust, entire Jewish communities were destroyed.
- Hitler persecuted Jews for his anti-Semitic views. He considered Jews guilty of the post-World War I state of Germany. Germany, as a defeated country, had to pay substantial war damages and was in a difficult economic situation. Hitler needed a culprit for such a case, and he considered them Jewish. In his book "Mein Kampf" he outlined his anti-Semitic views, which were later included in the official political platform of the National Socialist Party.
- The systematic incarceration of Jews began even before the official start of World War II. The first camps were opened in 1933. By the beginning of the War, there were about 25,000 people in these camps, some of them Jewish. By the end of 1945, millions of Jews would be killed in concentration camps. Over a million Jews were killed in Auschwitz alone.
- The United States and the world have generally not done much about the Holocaust. Even before the outbreak of the War, one could have hinted at what Hitler was planning on the Jews. Immigration and visa restrictions for foreigners began during President Hoover and continued during Roosevelt. There was no sympathy among the American society itself about the Jews. Also, there have been a number of officials in the government who have supported restrictions on US Dollar Jews. During the First World War, it turned out that journalists were often misreporting about German crimes, so journalists were very careful when it came to reporting on the Holocaust. Germany itself struggled to cover up crimes against Jews. At the time when such news came out, American society did not care much for that information, and they were more focused on other news from the War. America received just over 10,000 Jews during and before World War II.
- The experiences of Holocaust survivors are similar. There are many testimonies available by Holocaust survivors. They are critical because they talk about the proportion of the destructive policies of Germany and its allies during the War. These painful experiences have had lasting effects on the victims. Every January 27 marks the day of remembrance of the Holocaust victims, and the world is reminded of the horrors of Hitler's politics during the War.
It was just one of the MANY reasons that resulted in the 2nd WW. Maybe if they hadn't been so harsh towards Germany and blamed them for the cause of WW1 then the 2nd one most likely wouldn't have happened.
Hi,
The Treaty of Versailles was not a good peace treaty for the future. First of all it wasnt a real peace treaty , Germany didnt have any choice , Germany was forced to sign it . Germany loses 15% of its territory and its colonial empire . Then the army restrictions where very high as the german army couldnt produce aircraft , tanks and artilery and a limit of 100,000 men in the army was set . The war reparations that germany had to pay were too enormous 132 milliards goldmarks (money used by germany and it would be equal to 47 312,1 tons of gold) But only 20,6 milliards were payed because the economic situation in the Weimar's republic was disastrous .
The treaty made Germany poor and the unemployement rose , this treaty made it possible for hitler to raise to power as he promissed to restore the nation's pride and restore the economy and military might.
Hope i was helpfull.
