TREATMENT OF JEWS• Jews began to become more and more ostracized. • German children were learning to hate them in school. • The Jews were eventually moved to ghettos which kept them confined to a
certain part of town. • Then they were told they were going via train to a camp where work would
make you free. • When they arrived at the camps they were sorted into two groups – work and
death. • Those deemed fit would be sent to work. Those deemed unfit would be put to
death. • In the beginning death would come in a ditch, more than likely dug by the
victims, then shot inside the ditch and buried there. • Later huge rooms used for gassing victims and crematoriums would be built.

THE FALL
• Although the war was basically over for Germany by 1945, Hitler insisted that the Nazis fight until death.
• He denounced Nazi leaders who wanted to negotiate peace.
• He remained in Berlin until it was stormed by the Russians.
• On April 29th he married his long-time mistress Eva Braun, on April 30th, they committed suicide together.
• All in all, his refusal to retreat and back down caused the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and ultimately cost Germany the war.

SCORCHED EARTH – IF I CAN’T HAVE IT, NO ONE CAN! • Scorched earth is a tactic used by some where they destroy everything
in their path. • In this case Hitler ordered men to carry out a scorched earth policy
before the advancing allied forces. (Nero Decree)

GERMANY TODAY• Germans differentiate between Germany and Nazi-Germany• To call someone a Nazi in Germany is a huge insult. • In short, it is still difficult for many Germans when thinking of
the country’s past.
