Jewish persecution
Jews Begin to Flee Europe
Fleeing Europe• After Kristallnact, many Jews began to flee Europe
to escape the violence• Countries like France, Britain and the U.S. took
many of the immigrants• Eventually these countries would shut its doors to
these people• German foreign minister felt that “We all want to
get rid of our Jews. The difficulty is that no country wishes to receive them.”
Jewish Ghettos
• Hitler begins to move Jews under his control into ghettos
• Segregated Jewish areas that were sealed with barbed wire & stone walls
• Hope to starve the Jews to death or die from disease
• Jews continued to survive
The Final Solution• Hitler takes a more direct
plan (Final Solution)• He called for a system of
mass genocide• Hitler calls for the
elimination of any inferior races, nationalities or groups
• Nazi troops begin killings across Eastern Europe
Concentration Camps
• Jews not killed by the troops were placed into concentration camps or slave labor
• Slaves work 7 days a week• Guards would beat or kill
prisoners for their lack of work
• Very little food for prisoners• Many lost 50lbs in a month
The Final Stage• The Final Solution reached its last stage in 1942,
Nazi camps had huge gas chambers that could kill 6,000 Jews in a day
• Jews who were labeled as weak, were told to undress for a shower and were led into a chamber with fake showerheads
• Doors would close and cyanide gas would pour out of the showerheads
• 6 million Jews died in these camps, less than 4 million survived
