8. Before the Holocaust, Germany passed the Nuremberg Race Laws, which stripped Jews of their citizenship. Once deprived of their status as citizens, the Nazis proceeded to relocate Jews into ghettos and target their businesses for destruction, before removing them to concentration camps to perform forced labor. Eventually, the labor camps became extermination camps.
9. The sheer scale of civilian casualties was different from any previous war. Civilians were targeted, and their deaths outnumbered military deaths. Technology like the atomic bomb or airplanes increased the threat to civilians. Similar to WWI, women stepped into occupations and roles that had previously been performed by men. Also, like WWI, WWII was a total war. The mass extermination of Jews, political and religious dissenters, Roma, and other peoples was unprecedented.
10. Based on the scale of civilian deaths, particularly the brutality of the Nazis and Japanese, students might rationalize the dropping of the bombs, agreeing that the conflict needed to be stopped at all costs. On the other hand, students may also perceive the dropping of the atomic bombs as just as ethically problematic since it, too, was a mass killing of civilians. Students may point to the Japanese internment camps as further evidence that the Allies, specifically the United States, acted out of prejudice.
