The Jews were considered an 'impure' race by Hitler (and later by other Germans). Hitler's vision was a nation of 'pure' Aryans, which, in his mind, would ensure superior genes, intelligence and power. Anyone considered impure -- the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and a myriad of other types of people -- were systematically herded into ghettos and subsequently concentration camps.
Answerthe Jews did absolutely nothing to deserve the treatment they got,so as the africans and the Indians the Jews were just picked for hatered and ujust things but again they did absolutely nothing!!! AnswerThey are done nothing, absolutely nothing, to deserve such hatred.That is both complex and controversial.
Jews were treated far worse than the African slaves, or Native Americans. This was due to "anti-semitism" being of a different nature than "racism".
The cruelties to Africans and Native Americans were mostly "incidental". That is to say, few had specific malice towards them, it's just that they had labor or land that was needed, and so were enslaved or evicted to get it.
With Jews, "anti-semitism" was based on hating and fearing them. True, there was wealth to be had from stealing from the Jews, but this was not the prime motivation. Jews were thought, for at least a couple of thousand years, to be personally responsible for killing Jesus Christ.
Jews were also known for being very reclusive, and for regarding themselves as "chosen". Further, they were forbade many jobs - with the exception of banking - and so did often times in history have wealth in more abundance than other groups.
Hatred, fear, envy thus became the emotions felt toward them by the masses at the time. A mythology of them was created, a dark mythology in which they were regarded as greedy and sneaky and treacherous. Greedy - because they worked hard and saved their earnings. Sneaky - because they kept to themselves during the dark ages of discrimination. Treacherous - because they put their family and friends above those who would harm them.
From this came the Holocaust. Hitler and the Nazis used the Jews as scapegoats to blame all the people's problems on. And the people needed little convincing. Jews were thus not treated badly so as to "get something" from them, they were treated badly just for being Jews.
And while Africans and Native Americans could evoke feelings of pity in those who exploited them, the Jews evoked no pity. People weren't hurting them to get something, then feeling bad for it. No, they were hurting the Jews for fearing and hating them, and feeling pretty good about it.
Thus cruelty that had it's limits - though admittedly large limits - in America towards their minorities, had no limits in Europe towards it's Jews.
Absolutely nothing at all. They were killed for simply being Jews, not for any misdeeds.
The Jews slaughtered in the Holocaust were not charged with any crimes, never put on trial or convicted. They were the victims of malicious conspiracy theories that claimed that 'the Jews' were conspiring to dominate the world(!)

My opinion is that the Jews did NOT do anything wrong. Hitler is just a hater!
they we're tourtured and killed by the hateful nazis becuse of their religion.
Nothing, absolutely nothing.
nothing
Yes, the Nazis burned large numbers of Jews, as was also done in the Spanish Inquisition.
well, he promissed that if the Jews started another war, then it would lead to the destruction of the Jewish people. Which is implicitly saying that he will kill the Jews, there were many reasons given for wanting to kill the Jews. But the truth is often much more simple, attached is a long list giving reasons as to why the Nazis (and Hitler) hated/wanted to kill the Jews, but most of them are irrelevent: antisemitsm started before the Nazis and continued after the Nazis, if there was a global Jewish conspiracy, then they would have done something to help the Jews of Europe. Hitler knew that the Jews were defenceless and harmless, they were killed for political reasons, they were killed because that is what made the people happy and kept the Nazis in power.
Well as we all know the Nazis hated the Jews! Some people say Jews believe in god and some say they don't well the Nazis believed they didnt so the Nazis burned down the synagogues. The truth is so Jews believe in gods and other dont but they thoguth they had to do it to do good for god but well that didnt work!!!
with a belt or a whip i think ------------------------ many Nazi officers would carry a riding crop as a status symbol, but most of the whipping was done by other inmates, the Nazis would promote (certain types of) inmates to be in charge of other inmates, making them responsible for ensuring that jobs were done and pace was kept.
the greatest weapon of the Holocaust was indifference, this was used to great effect: over the previous eight years the Nazis had done many morally dubious things to the Jews, combined with an actual physical attack during Kristalnacht. They noticed that niether domestically nor internationally was anything done in response; there were no popular protests, no issue raised within the League of Nations, no type of sanctions. With the safety of this knowledge the Nazis could employ any other weapons that they wanted. It would be easy to say that hate was one of them, but it was closer to fear. The Nazis would make the people afraid that the Jews were a danger to them, their families and their 'way of life'. With this people were happy to see the Jews dissapear from sight. Once out of sight the Nazis could do whatever they wanted.
Hitler had a special official, Goebbels, in charge of disseminating propaganda. The nazis publicized their propaganda alleging that the Jews were a people who didn't deserve to live. This was done in an attempt to justify the killing of the Jews.
Because of the power of the Nazis and the false belief of all "crimes" done by the Jews(that were published by the Nazis.)
they knew that what they had done to the Jews was not morally acceptable.
Yes, the Nazis burned large numbers of Jews, as was also done in the Spanish Inquisition.
They most certainly did not act alone. Some countries even paid the Nazis to take their Jews. In France the rounding up of Jews was done by the French police and the transportation done by the French railways.
Hitler was the leader of the Nazis, so it's safe to stay that he liked most of them, especially after he killed a bunch of Nazis in 1934 (he thought they might betray him).The Nazis- including Hitler- HATED Jews. They thought Jews were no better than rats, and wanted to wipe them out. Six million Jews were murdered by Nazi Germany because of this irrational hatred.
The nazis and neo-nazis have done hate crime against innocent Jewish people. In some countries Muslims have done hate crimes against innocent Christians, Jewish people and Hindus.
Jews built there own trenches because Once they Were done digging They were shot in the neck. Also, so The Nazis didn't have to get rid of the bodies. With little Children, They were used as targets. Nazis threw them in the air, and then shot them for practice and fun.
The Jews had done nothing to Hitler, yet he harbored an enormous hatred against them. He believed they were responsible for all the economic hardship that Germany had faced since World War I.

Because they were one of the few who actually knew that the Jews had done absolutely nothing wrong anywhere. Jews had contributed a great deal to society wherever they worked and the Nazis thought totally differently.
It is highly unlikely that Maurice Chevalier was Jewish since the Nazis extended him an invitation to perform for them and the French and British later suspected him of Collaborating with the Nazis. Most Jews would not have done either.
