THE HOLOCAUST Anti-Semitism in Nazi German 1933-39

Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27th is where the

international community recognize the inhumanity,

which took place under the dictatorship of Adolf

Hitler. As we recall the horrific, mass murdering

event in Hitler·s reign over Germany, 1933-45. The

holocaust witnessed 6 million Jews being murdered

in addition to communists, gypsys, trade unionists,

and paraplegics. This reign of pure evil will always

The mass-killing method at an extermination camp

was poison gas usually, besides gas chambers, the

camp guards continued killing prisoners via mass

shooting, starvation, torture.

Anti-Semitism is the term usedwhen people are prejudicedagainst Jews just because theyare Jewish. Anti-Semitism is amodern racial term that wasinvented in 1879 by a Germanjournalist called Wilhelm Marr.

In 1933 Germany became

a totalitarian state and in

1935 Hitler passed the

Nuremburg laws. These

laws stripped Jews of

their German citizenship

and Jewish people had to

wear the Star of David as

a form of identity. It isargued that Hitler had

already planned the

The Holocaust (Shoah) was aunique event in 20th century history.It evolved slowly between 1933 and1945. It began with discrimination;then the Jews were separated fromtheir communities and persecuted;and finally they were treated as lessthan human beings and murdered.

Nazi·s contained concentration camps in the

German territory across Europe. After the Reichstag

fire they were carried out over Germany and

originally they were planned to hold political

prisoners and opponents to the regime. The term

was borrowed from the Britishconcentration camps

of the Second Anglo-Boer War. This draws a

distinction between concentration camps and

extermination camps, which were established for

the industrial-scale murder of the predominantly

Jewishghetto and concentration camp populations.

Overall, 6 210 233 were killed during the holocaust from all

backgrounds, but mainly Jewish. It was not the largest masskilling of the twentieth century -- both Joseph Stalin and Mao

Zedong probably killed more people than Adolf Hitler. But "in

ferocity, hate, sadism and horror, the Nazi genocide of the Jews

of Europe is on its own. This is the story of Max and Lilly

Moskowitz from her son Jhan Moskowitz, here it is;

´Some survivors do not tell their kids anything. They just

Concentration Camps

don't. Some survivors tell their kids everything. When I was a

little boy, I crawled into my father's lap and asked, "What is tha

number on your arm?" He didn't flinch, he told me he was in

the concentration camps. He grew up outside of Lodz, Poland,

and spent four and a half years in several work camps as well

as Auschwitz. He did not explain in detail what he had been

through, but he told me more as I got older. I asked him if he

went to school, and he said that Jewish kids didn't get to go to

high school. He told me that when he was growing up in

Poland the week of Passover was terrible; his family never left

the house. If they did, the priest would come out of the church

with a big cross and kids would throw rocks and call them

"Christ-killers."

My mother's name is Lilly, and she grew up in Maramush,

which is between Hungary and Romania. She was in the camps

for almost two years. Because my parents were Holocaust

survivors, I grew up with a keen understanding of the fact that

was Jewish. There was never a time in my life when I did not

recognize the great price our people paid for our existence. When I got sick as a child I remember feeling a moral obligationto get better. Both my mother and father made me feel guilty if

got sick. I had to be strong and live to defeat the Nazis'

intentions. Knowing the pain and suffering my parents endure

meant that I could not complain about incidental problems.

When I came home one day and said, "There is nothing to eat,

let's go out," my father said to me sternly, "There is bread, there

is a meal!" How can you tell a man who was so malnourished

that eating a full meal would have killed him when he wasliberated, that there is not enough food?

Lessons we can learn from the Holocaust

Pellentesque:

I think it is important toremember what happened in

the Holocaust and to try toprevent it from happeningagain. We have learnt a veryharsh lesson on maninhumanity to man. TheHolocaust displayed theincredibly brutal nature ofFascism and how Germancitizens got caught up inpropaganda and supported

something evil. That we can beso incredibly cruel and harshand the people did this toother people and how can itbe? I thinkteaches us a lotabout discrimination and howwe must always be guardedthis never happens again. Ifwe can avoid hate andprejudice in our own lives,then that is the first step to

making the world a betterplace. This is where Historyand Education are crucial ineradicating discriminationtoday by highlighting theinhumanity of the past.

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out ³ because I was not a

Jew.

Then they came for the communists

and I did not speak out ³ because I was not a

communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

and I did not speak out ³ because I was not a

trade unionist.

Then they came for me and by then there was no one left to speak out for me.
