Simple answer: They systematically harassed the Jews, made it impossible for them to earn a living, sent them to ghettos, seized their possessions, enslaved them and killed them.
Every single Jewish Holocaust story is different, and it differs from every country. Here's a small list of what Nazis did to Jews:
* April 1933 - Boycotted Jewish shops. * 1934 - Jews banned from public activities. * Laws meant that Jews could be sacked from education. * Nov 1938 - Kristallnacht ('Crystal Night', Night of Broken Glass) - around 90 Jews killed; 25 to 30 thousand deported to camps; synagogues, shops, homes and property destroyed; fined 1 billion marks. * Nuremberg Laws - Jews couldn't own property. * Segregation in the ghettoes. * Concentration camps, work/death camps.
They collected them, put them on trains and shipped them out to "camps" where they were imprisoned until it was time for their execution. Large furnaces and gas chambers were used to kill mass amount of Jews. The Germans believed that the Jews had infiltrated the highest levels of the governments and banks, and were manipulating the economy to transfer all the wealth to themselves. It is called The Holocaust (but the Nazis themselves called it was the "final solution of the Jewish question".. Between 5 and 6 million Jews were killed.
Control was achieved by the same classic methods in use today:
The Nazis maintained complete control over the Jews, what the Jews did and whether they lived or died was at the Nazi's discretion. They did this by passing a series of laws. These laws took away the Jews' citizenship and their rights.
well
The Nazis did not give people the freedom to assemble. Any dissidents were thrown into the Concentration Camps just like the "Undesirables". People literally feared for their lives.
Youth & children are more likely to be influenced & then believe the propaganda. It is the same today as it was then. It is easier to mislead younger people.
The Nazis got killed Gypsies; Slavs; homosexuals; any German who opposed the Nazis on political or moral grounds; any religious leaders, even Catholics, who wouldn't shut up and get with the program; Freemasons; black people. The Nazis started with the mentally retarded and the handicapped in Germany, as having "lives not worth living". Ordinary criminals also fared poorly. For some reason they also sent Jehovah Witnesses to the death camps too.
By leading the Soviet people in defeating the Nazis, he struck the decisive, most important blow of WWII. It is very likely the Nazis would have won the war without his leadership. The total numbers of lives his leadership saved far, far surpasses on several orders of magnitude the lives lost under his leadership, which was 2.5 million tops, over a 30 year reign. How many people died under Dubya's four year watch? Do the math.

The Jews had no problem about the Germans, until the Nazis persecuted them and made their lives impossible. In fact, the German Jews and many Jews outside Germany were pro-German till 1933.
Everybody who lives in Germany. German is the language of Germany. About approximately 82,468,000. people.
During WW 2, Jews that lived ANYWHERE under the control of the Nazis were in danger of their lives. There was no "safe" mileage limit, only National borders and governments that opposed the Nazis.
fear
well they lead normal lives and went on with average day life they had no idea that the Nazis were out to get them until they had been segregated from the rest of the German community remember it wasn't only Jews that died it was Black people Asians and other cultures as well.
Yes it was. The Nazis controlled nearly every aspect of the populations lives and also tried to control their minds through the use of widespread propaganda.

humanists believed that all people had the ability to control their own lives and achieve greatness! look in the book next time foos! ;)
well, there are alot of aspects that involve people to be inconsistent in their personal lives. first their home situation might be very unstable, how is that person suppose to control that if its out of Their control? the main thing about inconstant personal lives is that of relationships with other people, things that they can't control. people who have consistent lives are very difficult to find. it's all about being proactive to make a stable living

Certainly not. Police, judges, ministers, driving examiners and many others legitimately control aspects of our lives. Only those with power to COERCE can effectively control the lives of adults. We prohibit unauthorized coercion and call it crime.
