Nuremburg Laws:
As much antisemitism in France than in Germany before 1938. Antisemitism existed everywhere.
Starting with the Nuremberg laws, he was able to formalize his hatred.
1933-1938
Anti-Jewish laws
Forced Jews to register and wear star of David
This turned into forcing Jews out of careers and homes
Prohibited Marriage between Jews and non Jewish Germans
Finally loss of citizenship
The Nuremberg laws were the start of the holocaust, and people thought it was a good idea. Jewish hatred existed in a large population.
Summary:
The Nuremberg laws were a series of Anti-Semitic laws imposed to make life more difficult for the Jews and separate them from society.
Hitler implemented these laws to ostracize, discriminate and expel Jews from German society.They were a major step in clarifying racial policy and removing Jewish influences from this new Aryan society. The Nazis not only persecuted people of Jewish descent, but Aryan Germans with Jewish spouses as well. The Nuremberg laws took away German citizenship from all full Jews. Prohibited Jews from flying the German flag. Prohibited Jews from employing Germans as domestic servants. Prohibited sexual relations between Aryans and Jews. Unlike historical antisemitism, the Nuremberg Laws defined Jewishness by heredity (race) rather than by practice (religion).
A citizen of the Reich would have had to been of German blood or Germanic origin and must have proven his or her conduct to be properly called a loyal German citizen.

Kristallnacht:
9th of November 1938
Kristall (glass)
Nacht (night) = night of broken glass
Referring to the thousands of Jewish shop and synagogue windows that were smashed and burned
Many Jews imprisoned
State sanctioned event
Quote:
"Historians consider Kristallnacht as marking the beginning of the end for Europe’s Jewish community, 6 million members of which died during the ensuing Holocaust.” Chicago Tribune
The Aryan Race and the Final Solution:
Hitlers original idea as laid out in Mein Kampf
Aryan (Nordic race) thought to be superior beings
Jews made out to be universal scapegoats
Mass graves
Originally Jews were ent to work camps to do manual labour
July 1941 final solution = extermination of the Jewish race a priority
Carried out by Einsatzgruppen a special section of the S.S. (terrible group.) (their job was to do the killings) (they used people from jail.. rapers, murderers, child mollesters.) (too slow to do it this way.. too many bullets.. too much resources.) (Zyklon B gas. They would drop through the chimneys of the showers. Death camps were set up all over Europe. None of the death camps were in Germany. They would make live human experiments, in the name of science.
Shooting and burying them was not fast enough
Gas chambers became the popular
Made famous places such as Auschwitz
Germans were very thorough
6 million Jews were killed
Jews were treated like cattle
People had a hard time believing it.
January 1941 the New York Times reported 100,000 Jews had been machine gunned in the Baltic States
July 1944 Allied powers got their first eye witness accounts when the Soviets liberated a camp called Majdanek
1945 Auschwitz is discovered
How could the german people allow this to happen?
A lot of it has to do with German propoganda. Josef Goebbels, was masterful at brain washing people, and he promoted all the ideas from Mein Kampf. He was the propoganda minister, one of the most powerful men in the Nazi party.
Effectd all aspects of German life
Promoted:
Aryan Race
Anti-Semitism
Anti-Communism
Lebenstraum (living space in the east)
Organized mass rallies for army and citizens
Nuremburg carried night rallies, the most famous.
Anti-semitism was taught in schools
Children were very influenced to carry out these atrocities
12 years of listening to Hitlers rederich
It took time for people to become the way they were.
A lot of people already felt this way.
