Rise of the Nazi party• After WWI, Germany
was left with a broken government, limited military, and shattered economy.
• The Nazi party took power in Germany and offered to restore Germany’s pride. Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, or Prime Minister, in Germany.

Why did the Germans persecute Jews?
• Hitler needed a scapegoat to blame Europe’s problems. He chose the Jews.
• Anti-Semitism- (hatred of the Jews)-had existed in Europe for some time. Hitler blamed Jews for failures.

Persecution
The Nazi plan for dealing with the Jews evolved in three steps:
1. Expulsion: get them out of Europe
2. Containment: Put them all together in one place – namely ghettos
3. “Final solution”: annihilation

Persecution• Concentration Camps: A
place where prisoners were mistreated and were subjected to medical experiments. Prisoners often died from disease, starvation, overwork, or were executed as unfit for working.
• Extermination Camps: These camps main function after the order of the “Final Solution”; was to kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. Within 24 hours of arrival, prisoners would have been killed.

Why study the Holocaust?
• In a People magazine interview, Wiesel said, “The only way to stop the next holocaust… is to remember the last one. If the Jews were singled out then, in the next one we are all the victims.”
