What were some dangers Jews faced during Hitler's Third Reich?

Answer 1

With the possible exception of the exploitation of the people in Africa who became enslaved, the Jews in Europe suffered the greatest crime against humanity in History. Principally they were economically dispossessed. Their businesses & livelihoods were taken away from them systematically for no reason other than their religeous belief. Their forced expatriation & imprisonment led to the most inhumane treatment that has been seen in modern times. Although I am not Jewish, & have no feelings either way about their relegion, I have been to Dachau, a concentration camp near Munich. When Belsen Concentration camp was liberated by the British in 1945 the local dignitaries were made to view the way these people, the Jews & others who were so cruelly treated by the Nazis, & they claimed to have no knowledge of this inhumanity.But it remains the case that this is what these very people had voted for.... Initially at least Hitler came to power by democratic vote ! No, I haven't read Mein Kampf (Hitlers book) & I dont care what it says therein, inhumanity to each other for any reason is not what any form of regime can allow to happen for any reason. I suppose the simple answer to the question you ask is total extermination : They called it the final solution.

Answer 2

They faced the danger of having their property and possessions confiscated, then the danger of being imprisoned, once imprisoned the danget of abuse, torture, hard labour and lack of food. Finally the ultimate danger of murder.

Answer 3

they were burned,raped,smacked,punished,hungery,tired,scared,no happyness,sad,mad,not happy,feeling that they were all going to die, and worst of all they were all black. Everyone felt bad for them. No one liked Hitler. Everyone wanted him dead.

Answer 4

The obvious answer would be death but a more detailed answer would talk about the labelling of the Jews with a yellow star. If the star wasn't worn or was not attached correctly, soldiers would beat and even kill the Jew. There was a shortage of material and not enough to go around so this was common. Also, being labelled as a Jew made them a target for the public who had fallen victim to the propoganda spewed by the Nazis. When the Jews were taken to the concentration/extermination camps there were even more horrific ordeals ahead. Mengele at Auschwitz was famous for his experiments on twins, dwarfs, giants and anyone with a hereditary condition. The experiments he carried out on twins alone are appalling. When the Jews arrived at the camp they were usually sorted into 2 lines. If you looked strong enough to work, you went to the camp. If you looked weak and sickly you were sent to the gas chamber. There are also reports of workers being taken to the gas chambers in death marches - I've not read enough into this part yet to determine whether these death marches were chosen people or random groups. It was pretty much a bad time to be a Jew! There were lots of camps - some were extermination, some where concentration, some were a mix of both. Either way, the Jews didn't know whether or not they would live to see the end of the war because the hatred against them was so bad! Even if they didn't end up in a camp, life in their own street and town was really harsh (see above with yellow star). The Jews were also scapegoated and pretty much blamed for every bad thing that happened - whether or not they did it!! (And most of the time they didn't!)

Answer 5

-Concentration camps: some were immediately escorted into poison gas chambers, others were forced to work or tortured

-Branded and Shaved: they had to be shaved, women, men, and children alike. They were also tattoed with numbers and they had to wear clothes with the star of David on them.

-Open to Ridicule: other citizens were allowed to make fun and harrass Jews

Answer 6

The dangers were to be murdered or to die in horrible medical experiments. 11 million humans were murdered by the Nazis, 6 million of them Jews.
