How do you write a essay about hitlers Holocaust?

Answer 1

Start with how the Nazi's came in to power and how they used Propaganda so well to convince Germany. It all comes down to anti-semitism in Europe and Hitler's anti-Jewish ideas. After the first world war, Germany was left with 6 million people unemployed and unhappy with how Germany was being run. This is when Hitler and the Nazi party stepped in. They slowly changed Germany's laws from 1933-1938 and the last law passed was that Jews could be evicted from their homes without any notice and taken to Ghettos. After the Ghettos they were taken to the concentration camps and extermination camps where put into place millions died. One of the main questions about the Holocaust is why it happened and you should probably answer that in your essay. The holocaust was down to anti-semitism but other things made it possible to happen: the war, the technology, people didn't do enough to stop them etc. The war was a big element though because it meant countries became distracted with winning the war rather than helping the Jews. The USA and Britain were actually quite aware of what was going on in Germany but claimed that beating Germany in the war would stop them from persecuting the Jews. The technology was another thing that helped the holocaust happen because things like trains made it easier to transport Jews to camps without many people noticing. It also made it easier to gas the Jews, shoot the Jews or incinerate them. Auswitchz could dispose of thousands of bodies a day by the end of the war due to technology.In your essay you should answer the questions: why did people hate the Jews? the reasons for the holocaust. describe the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany from 1933-1939. you should then probably go into more detail about the final solution and Hitler killing himself.
