    Hitler rises to power as FhrerSource : http://bit.ly/HkiNxV

    During the brief 30 years between World War I and World War II, a horrendous power

    was bestowed to a man thought to have the ability to bring Germany out of humiliation. Instead,

    he created a path of destruction that culminates with a holocaust where twelve million people

    were systematically murdered. Although the Holocaust occurred over a three year period

    between 1942 and 1945, there were a series of events that occurred over a much longer period of

    time that allowed the Holocaust to transpire. Its important to understand the series of events that

    led to the Holocaust in order to prevent an atrocity like this from ever occurring again.

    Nazi Rise to Power

    The early 1930s were a tough time for all nations. The

    aftermath of World War I left many economies shattered, especially

    Germany. Michael Berenbaum notes several times that Germany felt

    humiliated and lacked confidence in their Weimar Republic government

    following World War I (12-13). The desperation the country felt set up

    an opportunity of hope that a new leader could bring back Germanys

    confidence and bring them out of the Depression. Though both Germany and the United States

    had elected a new leader similarly in times of trouble, the difference began with how the leaders

    dealt with the citizens of their country. Berenbaum states, Roosevelt told the American people

    they had nothing to fear but fear itself (14)Furthermore. The Nazis maintained their power by

    using fear for control. They based their political campaigns on terror, intimidation and violent

    acts. This idea of control had always been a part of the National Socialist Party, and only grew

    worse with Hitlers rise to power. Adolf Hitler promised a national reawakening which he

    convinced many German men and women would be the only way, besides a dictatorship, to

    bring Germany out of the Depression. In January of 1933, Adolf Hitler was named chancellor of

    Germans coalition government and the Nationalist party (15). A fatal flaw in the Weimar

    Republic constitution allowed the Reichstag to temporarily give legislative power to the

    chancellor by two-thirds majority vote. Two months later an enabling act was passed that gave

    dictatorial power to Hitler and for the next 12 years Germany was ruled by the Fhrer (16).

    Anti-Semitism.

    Twenty years prior to naming himself Fhrer, Adolf Hitler

    joined the Nationalist Social Party and was a strong believer in

    anti-Semitism. In the early 1900s there was a widespread belief in

    creating a superior race, called Eugenics. Germans developed the

    Aryan Race. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

    (USHMM) states, through Eugenics specific races were ranked

    superior to inferior depending on family genealogies, physical measurements, and intelligence

    tests (Science as Salvation). The term Anti-Semitism was officially coined in Germany around

    1933 specifying the hatred of Jews and wanting all non-Aryan citizens out of Germany. Violent

    riots were aimed towards Jewish businesses, synagogues, and homes. These riots, Pogroms, were

    one of the most popular anti-Semitic acts encouraging the hatred of Jews. Racism was the

    central and pervasive theme of Nazi ideology (Berenbaum 16). According to USHMM, the

    Nazis idea of Eugenics was that they must stay superior to all inferior races of Slavs, Gypsies,

    blacks and Jews. When Hitler declared himself Fhrer, the Nationalist Social Party enforced

    sterilization of inferior races to prevent proliferation. Anti-Semitism counts for all the acts done

    against Jewish citizens of Germany, Poland, and most of Western Europe following Hitlers rise

    to power. The Holocaust is one of the most extreme acts of anti-Semitism which was encouraged

    by government officials brought on by political anti-Semitism. USHMM continues to address,

    A potent component of political anti-Semitism was nationalism, which adherents often falsely

    denounced Jews as disloyal citizens (ANTISEMITISM). The Nazi rise to power campaign

    forced anti-Jewish boycotts, staged book burnings, and ratified discriminatory Jewish legislation

    (ANTISEMITISM). In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws restricted Jewish rights and led to

    involuntary separation of Aryans and Non-Aryan Jews.

    Nuremberg Laws.

    In 1935, a Nazi Party Convention was held with the

    Reichstag as guests. This convention began the Nuremberg

    Laws, referring to the anti-Jewish legislation adopted by

    the Nazi Party. Berenbaum notes, as soon as the

    Nuremberg Laws were decided, many Jews lost their right

    to work. Jewish actors, artists, musicians, filmmakers, and any Jew that worked in the food

    industry were all expelled in order to make sure artists were politically acceptable to the Reich

    (28). He continues to tell that the main focus of the Nuremberg Laws became the Law for the

    Protection of German Blood and Honor of the Reich Citizenship. This law stripped Jews of their

    citizenship in Germany, making Jews subjects of the states control (29). Marriage between a

    Jew and a German was forbidden, as well as sexual relations between Aryans and Non-Aryans.

    Though the Nuremberg Laws caused the separation of Non-Aryans and German (kindred blood),

    it was not yet defined who is a Jew and who is not. Adolf Hitler called for German blood to be

    pure and that meant the German nation must be protected from racial contamination (29). There

    were two categories of Jew, full blooded Jew and part Jew (Mischlinge). A full Jew was anyone

    who had three Jewish grandparents. The Nazi Party developed two sub-levels of part Jews, first

    and second class. Berenbaum explains, First class Mischlinge were people who had two Jewish

    grandparents, but did not practice Judaism and did not have a Jewish spouse. Second-class

    Mischlinge were those who had only one Jewish grandparent (30). The classification of who is

    a Jew did not matter because even if you had only one grandparent, you still lost German

    citizenship. Yad Vashem comments, This law is a clear expression of Nazi racial ideology, and

    clearly states the pseudo-science behind it (Nuremberg Laws Enacted).Stated in Berenbaums

    bookThe World Must Know, The American ambassador to Germany, William Dodd, warned

    President Roosevelt that the new laws would be issued ensuring complete subordination for the

    Jews. Berenbaum mentioned that Dodd proposed the U.S., France, and British ambassadors

    boycott the German rally, but the state department ignored his suggestions. Fair warning was

    given to the United States, that soon more severe measures would take place in eliminating the

    Jews from the German community (30). American response to the Nuremberg Laws and what to

    do was never agreed upon; No one knew what they could do to stop the Nazi Party. Many

    Americans helped as many Jewish refugees flee the country but the American citizens could not

    agree upon a proper protest against the laws, because they feared they would stir up more anti-

    Semitism in Germany and in America (30).

    Propaganda.

    Finding success in propaganda meant leading

    with a simple message and getting a mass audience to

    follow. In Hitlers book,Mein Kampf, he wrote two

    chapters on propaganda. Michael Berenbaum concurs,

    Hitler has more than an intuitive understanding of the

    power of propaganda (22). Hitler and the Nazi party

    enforced the belief that the people of Germany were in an urgent struggle with an evil enemy

    through art, music, theatre, books, films, radio, educational materials, and the press. The Reich

    controlled all newspapers and flow of public information through the press, radio, and film.

    Berenbaum mentions, Those that refused to endorse the Nazi line were shut down (22). Of

    course, all Jewish editors and publishers were forced to leave their job and everyone had an

    understanding of what should and should not be published. Failure to please the ministry by

    printing anything to weaken the strength of the German Reich or offend the honor and dignity of

    Germany could result in heavy fines, or imprisonment in a concentration camp (Berenbaum 22).

    The Nazi Propaganda campaigns created the idea that it was okay to violently protest against

    Non-Aryans. According to USHMM, Propaganda also encouraged passivity and acceptance of

    the impending measures against Jews. Propaganda campaigns let the people of Germany know

    they were simply restoring order (Nazi Propaganda). Nazi propaganda continued throughout the

    entire Holocaust, and even in the death camps themselves there was Nazi propaganda. Further

    stated on USHMM, Nazi officials forced Jewish prisoners to send postcards to their families

    imparting that they were living well and in good conditions even though they would soon die in

    the gas-chambers at the concentration camps.The article stated, The camp authorities used

    propaganda to cover up atrocities and mass murders (Nazi Propaganda). The power behind Nazi

    propaganda began with Hitlers portrayed heroic superiority as Fhrer. Berenbaum adds, The

    Nazis systematically created the cult of the Fhrer, the great charismatic leader (23). Public

    rallies were held as well as demonstrations at night where followers of the Reich would create a

    mass frenzy again and again emphasizing Hitlers speeches with shouts of Sieg Heil. In 1936,

    Germany hosted the Berlin Olympics. This gave the Nazis and opportunity to convince the

    international community that the stories of anti-Semitism and suspension of political freedom in

    Germany were being exaggerated by journalists and diplomats (25). Berenbaum made notice of

  • 8/2/2019 Jillian Hunt Research Paper Holocaust Overview

    7/17

    Hunt 7

    the Germans anticipation for the Berlin Olympics. He stated, In anticipation of the Olympics,

    Berlin was cleaned up. Anti-Semitic billboards and posters were taken down, the pace of

    persecution slowed, and even the rhetoric Nazi leaders toned down(27). Hitler and the Nazi

    party kept any evidence of anti-Semitic controversies covered up. Berenbaum adds, American

    tourists returned from Berlin reporting to President Roosevelt, the synagogues were really

    crowded and apparently there is nothing very wrong (27).

    Kristallnacht.

    Pogroms were one of the most violent acts against

    Jewish businesses, synagogues, and homes. The term

    pogrom is Russian derived; meaning to demolish

    violently. In an article on USHMM website it states,

    Historically the term refers to violent attacks by local

    non-Jewish populations on Jews in the Russian Empire

    and in other countries (Pogroms). Anti-Jewish rioting dates back to the early 1800s. The

    article continues to explain during the Holocaust era in Germany, economic, social, and

    political resentment of Jews reinforced traditional religious anti-Semitism (Pogroms). The most

    recognized and remembered pogrom, Kristallnacht allegedly occurred in response to the death of

    a German officer, Ernst Von Rath whom was shot by a young Jewish boy, Herschel Grynszpan.

    Michael Berenbaum discloses, Within forty-eight hours, more than one thousand synagogues

    were burned, along with their handwritten Torah scrolls, Bibles, and prayer books. Over seven

    thousand businesses were damaged or destroyed, at least ninety-one Jews were killed and Jewish

    cemeteries, hospitals, schools, and homes were vandalized (49). Kristallnacht took place on the

    night of November 9-10, 1938. Nazi Storm Troopers instructed the German Police and

    Baden-Baden Germany, The Deportation of Jewish

    Men on night of Kristallnacht.

    firefighters to not put out any flames or interfere with the destructions unless Aryan property was

    being destroyed (49). Berenbaum confirms, some 30,000 Jewish menaged sixteen to sixty

    were rounded up and taken to the Dachau, Buchenwald, and Sachsenhausen concentration

    camps (49). Nazi Holocaust survivor, Ursula Levy, testifies that after returning from being

    taken away to a concentration camp on the Night of the Broken Glass (Kristallnacht), her own

    father and uncle both became very ill and died within three months after returning. When the

    pogrom was given the name KristallnachtCrystal Night, Night of the Broken Glass, it signified

    the final shattering of Jewish existence in Germany (Berenbaum 49). It was now clear to the

    Jews life in the Reich was no longer possible and while most tried desperately to leave, many

    had nowhere to flee (49). The USHMM parallels this idea by stating, Kristallnacht figures as an

    essential turning point in Nazi Germany's persecution of Jews, which culminated in the attempt

    to annihilate the European Jews (Kristallnacht).

    Ghettos.

    Just beneath the quality of life in Nazi death camps, the Jewish residential quarters held

    all Non-Aryans from all countries under the control of the Reich. The residential quarters,

    Ghettos, were where the Jews remained to live until the Germans determined the annihilation

    and instruments of destruction. There were no ghettos in Germany; the majority of Ghettos were

    set up in Poland after the German invasion and takeover. Michael Berenbaum writes, The

    Jewish ghettos in Poland were set up in haste but with great efficiency (72). Though some

    ghettos were relatively open, some were also exceptionally closed off. Berenbaum adds, The

    Warsaw ghetto was surrounded by eleven miles of walls; Cracow, too, was walled and the d

    was sealed, enclosed by wooden fences and barbed wire (72). USHMM notes, The largest

    ghetto in Poland was the Warsaw ghetto, where more than 400,000 Jews were crowded into an

  • 8/2/2019 Jillian Hunt Research Paper Holocaust Overview

    9/17

    Hunt 9

    area of 1.3 square miles (Ghettos). There was not much living space and when the Jews were

    forced to move into the Ghettos, they werent allowed much luggage. Berenbaum informs, All

    abandoned Jewish property was confiscated. Confiscation and removal of all Non-Aryans from

    the streets in Germany marked the first movement of the Holocaust event. Nazi propaganda

    allowed the illusion that Jewish life in the ghettos was healthy and in good living conditions.

    Berenbaum truthfully states, Ghetto life was one of squalor, hunger, disease, and despair (73).

    Many children in the ghetto were forced to smuggle food into the ghetto; Berenbaum adds,

    without smugglers, starvation would have been

    rampant (73). Ghetto life made it extremely difficult

    to look forward to what might happen next; there was

    barely any hope left in the Jewish community. People

    started dying everywhere throughout the ghettos.

    Dead bodies were often left on the street until the

    burial society came (Berenbaum 74). According to the USHMM, the implementation of the

    "Final Solution" began in late 1941, where the Germans started systematically destroying the

    ghettos (Ghettos). The article continues, The Germans and their auxiliaries either shot ghetto

    residents in mass graves located nearby or deported them, usually by train, to killing centers

    where they were eventually murdered (Ghettos).

    Resistance.

    When Jews fully understood what the Nazis intended, any hope of survival was

    abandoned. At that point, the fighters were impelled by the desire to uphold Jewish honor and to

    avenge Jewish death (Berenbaum 174). Jewish resistance had never been armed before; they

    fought in resistance movements and were more practiced in the art of spiritual resistance (174). It

    later became apparent that death would not be evaded by cooperation or forbearance of the Nazi

    assault on their people. Jewish resistance was unlike classic guerrillas. Resistance fighters were

    unable to blend in due to widespread anti-Semitism and being confined to the Ghettos (174).

    Armed resistance was the last resort of the Jewish people and was promulgated on January 1,

    1942 (175). Shortly following, organizations were formed for the purpose of pursuing armed

    struggle. Berenbaum imparts, There was little hope of survival, even less of victory. Resistance

    was its own reward (175). The USHMM reveals, Although the Germans, shocked by the

    ferocity of resistance, were able to end the major fighting within a few days, it took the vastly

    superior German forces nearly a month before they were able to completely pacify the ghetto and

    deport virtually all of the remaining inhabitants (Jewish Resistance). Thousands of Jews resisted

    Nazi control by escaping into forests. Jewish prisoners resisted by attacking German officiers, in

    which the Germans and their auxiliaries killed most of the rebels (Jewish Resistance). Armed

    resistance was the last of the struggle and often Jewish resistance took form in aid and rescue.

    Spiritual resistance was the most powerful form which made conscious attempts to honor and

    preserve life of the Jewish people. USHMM writes, efforts included creating Jewish cultural

    institutions, continuing to observe religious holidays

    and rituals, providing clandestine education, publishing

    underground newspapers, and collecting and hiding

    documentation (Jewish Resistance). Partisan groups

    were formed consisting mainly of single men. Michael

    Berenbaum writes, Because their sole purpose was to fight and inflict as much damage as they

    could on to the enemy, membership was limited to able-bodied men prepared for battle (178).

    Soon another Partisan group was formed, the family units, and was protected by the fighters.

    This group consisted of women, children, and the elderly. Berenbaum adds, As many as 10,000

    survived the war in family units (179). Though there remains a tremendous testimony of

    survival through the Holocaust for many Jews, over 6 million Jews were systematically

    murdered by various ways of extermination methods.

    Extermination Methods and Death Camps.

    The decision for the removal of Jews was

    sanctioned at the Wannsee Conference on January

    20, 1942. Michael Berenbaum notes that historians

    disagree when the Holocaust began and when the

    idea of the Final Solution was set, but Berenbaum

    also writes referring to the Wannsee Conference as a

    meeting of the officials responsible for coordinating the systematic murder operation (101). A

    mass killing of Jews arose during the last year of Jewish life in the Ghettos. Following the

    termination of the Ghettos, Jews were transported by box-cars to mass killing centers. These

    mass killing centers provided the infrastructure that made the Holocaust possible (Berenbaum

    101). The Holocaust was different compared to many instances of mass murder in human

    history. Berenbaum continues to explain the Holocaust as idiosyncratic, because the intentions

    became premeditated and from 1941 and on the Nazi main goal was to murder all Jews (103)

    there on under Hitlers Reich control. The first of the killings were by starvation, followed by

    injections of lethal doses of sedatives. Children were put to sleep using gas-masks which

    eventually became the preferred method of killing (60). The gas chambers were originally

    established at the killing centers termed as Euthanasia because of the use of lethal injections

    and gas masks. Berenbaum states, Technology was then taken to a new level: thousands could

  • 8/2/2019 Jillian Hunt Research Paper Holocaust Overview

    12/17

    Hunt 12

    be killed at one time and their bodies burned within hours (61). Upon arrival to the

    concentration camps, Jews went into an immediate selection process. There was a distinct

    difference between concentration camps and the death camps. Noted from an article on Middle

    Tennessee State University website, in some sense all concentration camps were death camps

    due to the starvation of prisoners and workers as well as exposure to the elements, epidemics and

    disease, especially Typhus, and many were executed for alleged crimes against the Reich

    government (The Camps). Over 4.5 million Jews were executed in death camps using Gas vans,

    zyclon-B warfare, and carbon monoxide gas. In May 1943, there were about 1,000 prisoners

    remaining at the camp in Treblinka. Michael Berenbaum acknowledges the remaining prisoners

    were assigned to find bodies that had been buried in shallow pits and burn them (180). This

    happened all throughout the Holocaust; the Jewish survivors up until their own execution, were

    forced to remove the remains of their murdered brethren.

    Towards the end of the Reich dictatorship, SS officials tried frantically to evacuate the

    death camps before Allied forces would find them. German effort

    to hide and conceal any evidence proves they wanted no eye-

    witnesses to the atrocities that occurred under control of the Reich.

    Berenbaum writes, the remaining camp prisoners were forced to

    march westward in the dead of winter to the heartland of Germany

    (182). There were fifty-nine different marches from concentration

    camps,Berenbaum continues. The prisoners were given little

    or no food and water, and hardly any time to rest or take care

    of bodily needs. Those who paused or fell behind were shot

    (183). With no strength left, many more Jewish prisoners died along the march.

    Liberation.

    The Germans ran out of time to cover up and hide

    what they had done. Though a lot of evidence was burned

    and buried, by the time the Soviets arrived bounteous

    amounts of clothes, shoes, and hair remained. Berenbaum

    reveals, during the summer of 1944, Soviet forces took

    over death camps in Beec, Treblinka, and Sobibr

    which were all evacuated and closed a year prior to the Soviets arrival. On January 27, 1945

    Soviet forces enter Auswhitz concentration camp (184). Continuing on, Berenbaum reveals more

    than seven tons of human hair was discovered in the six rooms that remained at Auschwitz (185).

    Death camps differed from each other; one main difference Berenbaum notes is Auschwitz as a

    well-planned crematory facility compared to Bergen-Belsen where rotting human bodies lay

    piled on top of each other (186). Many Jews did not survive after liberation as a result of their

    struggle for health and clean living conditions. The survivors had witnessed thousands of deaths

    and lived with the rotting carcasses of their brethren. Berenbaum writes about American soldiers

    beginning an intense battle to bring the survivors back to life soon after the last of the camps

    were liberated in May 1945 (190). Though liberation provided hope for the survivors, they had

    lived in fear for nearly eight years. Berenbaum included an excerpt from Holocaust survivor

    Hadassah Bimko, she wrote: there was no ecstasy, no joy at our liberation. We had lost our

    families, our homes. We had no place to go, nobody to hug, nobody who was waiting for us,

    anywhere. We had been liberated from death and from the fear of death, but we were not free

    from the fear of life.(191). Many survivors felt guilty for living and some just wanted to move

    on and live their lives again. Berenbaum makes known that Adolf Hitler as Fhrer and the Reich

    ended when Hitler committed suicide and his body was burned (192). An apology was made to

    the Jews after Communist rule was finally ceased. Though the German Parliament apologized

    and offered compensation for all losses, many Jews had no place to go and were living in

    displaced persons camps. Berenbaum adds, that the living conditions in the camps were

    unpleasant, overcrowded, and there was never enough food (207). In essence, the Jews were

    being treated just as the Nazis treated them before extermination began. Jews began seeking

    ways to the mother land and between 1944 and 1948, more than 200,000 Jews fled to Palestine.

    Berenbaum mentions that several Jews were illegally fleeing to Palestine and a few ships

    crossing the border were stopped by the British government (213). His conclusion was that the

    British feared losing control of the situation and as a result many Jews were forced back into

    Germany (213). Thankfully, four months later the United Nations passed the vote to establish an

    independent Jewish state in Palestine. Berenbaum exclaims, Jewish survivors of the Holocaust

    finally found a place they could call home, a country that wanted them and that they wanted

    (215). Beginning in 1946 and continuing for another half dozen years, survivors of the Holocaust

    began arriving in the United States. Thus, the history of the Holocaust and preservation of

    memory and lives lost in the Holocaust became a major part of U.S. History.

    After eight years under Reich control, a second World War, and over 6 million innocent

    lives taken by systematic murder, conjoined forces were able to set free the Jewish people. The

    importance of memory and preservation is to indicate this atrocity of many conditions did not

    happen within a few years. Several events added into play and led to the unreal power that Adolf

    Hitler and the Reich government held for eight years. It is vital to the success of our future world

    to understand the warning signs, the events, and propaganda that led to an entire continents

    hatred of Jews. Berenbaum sadly reveals, The ultimate crime in the Holocaust was the murder

    of children (192). Many survivors have troubles to this day talking about the events of the

    Holocaust, but they know now the importance of their stories. Power is often rooted from fear,

    and we as a human race must never let our fears control us.
