The Holocaust: Never Again, Yet Recurring By Lilian Efobi, Nigeria
The Holocaust, the extermination of a race and 80 decades after, the world experience Holocaust in the form of Anti-Semitism. This is not only a tragedy of the Jewish people, but also a failure of humanity. Derived from the Hebrew word Shoʾah (“Catastrophe”), the systematic state-sponsored killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II was called the final solution to the Jewish question by the Germans.
Before the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, they had made no secret of their anti-Semitism. Early 1919 Adolf Hitler had written, “Rational anti-Semitism, however, must lead to systematic legal opposition. He viewed the Jews as an evil race struggling for world domination. Nazi anti-Semitism was rooted in religious anti-Semitism and enhanced by political anti-Semitism. The jews were portrayed as a race rather than a religious Group. Religious anti-Semitism could be resolved by conversion, political anti-Semitism by expulsion. Ultimately, the logic of Nazi racial anti-Semitism led to annihilation.
The Holocaust has been seen as the most significant events in human history due to the nature of its killing. Hitler was interested in the territorial expansion for the German people and racial supremacy. With Germany denied of colonies in Africa after World War II, Hitler sought to expand German territory and secure food and resources scarce during World War I in Europe itself. During all these, he viewed the Jews as racial polluters, a cancer on German. When Hitler came to power legally on January 30, 1933, as the head of a coalition government, his first objective was to consolidate power and to eliminate political opposition. The assault against the Jews began on April 1 with a boycott of Jewish businesses. A week later the Nazis dismissed Jews from the civil service, and by the end of the month the participation of Jews in German schools was restricted by a quota. On May 10 thousands of Nazi students, together with many professors, stormed university libraries and bookstores in 30 cities throughout Germany to remove tens of thousands of books written by non-Aryans and those opposed to Nazi ideology. The books were tossed into bonfires to cleanse German culture of “un-Germanic” writings. A century earlier Heinrich Heine a German poet of Jewish origin had said, “Where one burns books, one will, in the end, burn people.” In Nazi Germany the time between the burning of Jewish books and the burning of Jews was eight years.
Responding with alarm to Hitler’s rise, the Jewish community sought to defend their rights as Germans. For those Jews who felt themselves fully German and who had patriotically fought in World War I, the Nazification of German society was
