How were the Jews seen during the Holocaust?

Answer 1

I'd first have to ask, "which Germans?" Some Germans who thought cause of "aryan" (in Nazi doctrine, a Caucasian of non-Jewish, esp. Nordic, descent) supremacy a viable one, felt demise of Jews was necessary and justifiable. Many other Germans who were able to maintain personal convictions of equality among humans in a time of pervasive persecution against such thinking, helped to save many Jews from the chambers and work within underground organizations that moved Jews to safe locations. There's quite a lot evidence that Nazi anti-semitism wasn't that popular in Germany. However, the terror machine (as well as all kinds of other difficulties) meant that very few Germans were able to give practical help to Jews in WW2.

Answer 2

During the Holocaust, Jewish people were not seen as 'people' but as... inanimate objects, no, like... rats that carried the plaigue or something. Nazis didn't see that they were living, breathing, feeling human beings. Jews were often refered to as vermin, or parasites. It also depends where in the world you are talking about. In some places, Jews were seen as sacks of rotten potatoes, useless, in others, they were like lab rats, safe to experiment on, despensible, and in other places, they were contaminated, and had to be exterminated at all costs. If that meant murdering thousands and thousands of innocent babies, and children, so be it.

Answer 3

The Jews were nobodies if they were to strong they would be killed and if they were to weak they would also be killed. They had to be good enough to work in work camps the Jews were worked to death.

Answer 4

Before the Nazi Party had control, Germany was tolerant of Jews. France was the most Anti-Semitic Western European nation. During the Holocaust, a few Germans clung onto these pre-Nazi tolerant views of Jews. Many more succumbed and began to see the Jews as lesser beings fit to be trapped and exterminated.

Answer 5

There are hardly any Jews in Germany. Honestly, I do not know anything about Jews (expect some things I learned in school), because I have never seen a Jew. I just know those prejudices..
