putting them in concetration camps
There seems to be a misunderstanding here. From 1933 till about 1940-41 the Nazis did their utmost to bully Jews in Germany into emigrating. Those who able to did so. From about October 1941 onwards, the Nazis moved to extermination as the sole policy.
When the Nazis had hold over Germany for a time, many people that migrated were Jewish. The Nazis were trying to eradicate the Jews, and many left as soon as they were able. Some non-Jewish Germans left as well because they did not agree with Nazi rule.
From 1941 to 1945 but they had been mistreated since 1933 -- 1933: Persecution of the Jews began. -- 1933-40: Persecution intensified, especially from 1938 on, and by 1939 most Jews in Germany were not able to earn a living. -- 1941: The Holocaust (mass deportations and extermination) began, and continued until 1945.
All Jews regardless of any status, were killed by the Nazis, with no exceptions. Some were spared temporarily if they were able to be of some use to the Nazis, but in the end the Nazis wanted them all dead. ___ The fact that the Holocaust involved killing some highly qualified people didn't bother the Nazis in the least.
The Nazis were only able to kill 52 out of 8000 Denmark Jews. This was because the Denmark government sent them to Neutral Sweden.
They would try to run away so they would'nt get killed by the Nazis.
Yes. There were more Jews than there were high-ranking members of the Nazi Party. However, the Wehrmacht (the German Army) was much larger than either group. The reason that the Nazis were able to commit the atrocities that they did was that there was minimal resistance to their plans and the Jews were unarmed, which made them easier targets.
The Nazis were able to control Germany because of there force and Persuasion to control the people
Ordinary citizens were already prejudice against Jews, this is why the Nazis persecuted them, had people been prejudice against people who wore glasses, then the Nazis would have campained on that front. What the Nazis did was use that prejudice and build on it. They did this as part of a gradual progress; they first took away the Jews' right to work, then thier citizenship, then their right to own property. So eventually the Jews were poor, unable to earn money or feed themselves, destitute and a burden on society. So when the Nazis suggested deporting the Jews, ordinary people welcomed it.
In Germany, the Nazis set up a vast bureau of records which checked every citizen three generations back. And outside of Germany, people who were thought to possibly be Jewish had to produce baptismal certificates if they were actually non-Jews. And many Jews were ratted out by their neighbors.
403,000 Jews left Germany and Austria in 1938 and 1939.
If they were able to do so, Jews did try to warn other Jews, but once they had been rounded up to be sent to extermination camps they weren't able to phone or write home ...Those Jews who were politically active on the Left (and it was a minority) generally had a much better grasp of what the Nazis were really like - and tried to flee. However, most Jews were not polically active ...
