During the 1930’s, immigration to the United States increased. This was caused in part to the Nazi anti-Jewish regulations in Germany. The increase of immigration cause the United States to impose more regulations to restrict access to the country. Many Americans feared that immigrants would deprive Americans of jobs by working for extremely low wages. This fear and resentment of immigrants led to legislation restricting emigration being passed in 1917, 1921, 1924, and 1929. The Nuremberg Laws The Nuremberg Laws were a set of laws that excluded Jews from daily life, this caused most to lose their jobs and it did allow for them to get married. While many Americans condemned the Nuremberg Laws, they did not support involving the United States in the situation in Europe. Kristallnacht On November 9, 1938, the Nazis used the murder of a German diplomat by a young Jew as an excuse to destroy over one thousand synagogues, kill ninety-one Jews and move thirty
thousand more to moved to concentration camps. These events caused widespread condemnation of the Nazis in the United States. This also caused the United States to remove the American ambassador from Germany and to extend the travel visas of Jews to allow them to remain in the country. Evian Conference 1938 In 1938 a conference was held to determine what should be done with the large number of Jews fleeing Europe. However, both the United States and the United Kingdom refused to accept more refugees. The Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees After the Evian conference the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees was formed in an attempt to help Jews emigrate away from the Nazi regime. However, the Nozis’ economic exploitation of Jew cause many countries to reject them to prevent a large increase in impoverished immigrants. The Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees never reached an agreement with the Nazis. THE HOLOCAUST
THe holocaust was a horrible time and cause. The German nation, lead and run by Adolf Hitler was set to create the perfect race. The Aryan race. Made up of women and men who were european and had blonde hair and blue eyes. Adolf Hitler knew that it wasn't going to be an easy goal so he set himself a final goal and steps along the way, to the removal of many non “perfect” races of people. Final Solution The final solution is the plan to annihilate the jewish people. The *genocide however was a work of a decade of increasingly severe discriminatory actions. Steps and stages of Hitler’s holocaustDefinition: Hitler made it known who the Jews were by making them wear gold stars to show there decent and religion. This way he could isolate them. Stripping of rights: Jewish people were denied many rights like the right to vote, denied citizenship, denied the right to own property and even doctors who were Jewish were not aloud to treat non Jewish patients. Segregation: Jews were forced to live in a separate city from the
others(slum or shanty town). Along with Gypsies, Homosexuals and disabled. Many died from disease, starvation and dehydration. They waited in this town until they were either taken to a concentration camp or killed on the spot. Concentration camps: These were camps much like a slum where the citizens were slaves and worked until they died from exhaustion, were brought to an extermination camp. These camps consisted of the “enemies” of Hitler. Extermination camps: These camps were camps that were used for disposing of Jewish people. The were a way of lowering the Jewish population in the Aryan race. Most times these extermination camps were very harsh as well as unknown to the Jewish people who were there. One specific way Hitler used these camps was to use gas. And between 19421943 over 2 million Jewish people were gassed.
Aftermath: The camps were liberated however people still remained there, and Jewish people were left on the streets and were homeless
