Resistance of the Jews

Why did the Jewish people just go along with the Germans to be killed?  Well the truth of the matter is that some of the Jewish people did resist.  They fought with the Nazis and tried to protect their families, but a handful of poorly armed Jewish people were nothing to the German war machine. [...]

The Suffering of the Jews and the Evil of the Nazis

The suffering of the Jewish people in the ghettos and death camps is almost incomparable to any other atrocity committed to our fellow man. They endured everything from living in confined quarters, to being killed no in the most humane way but the cheapest way. Even before World War I the Jewish people faced hardship. [...]

Nazi Leaders During the Decline

There are two simple words to express how the Nazi Leaders felt during Germanys decline in power, not well.  After losing in Great Britain and Russia the Nazi’s morale was at an all time low.  They suffered two huge defeats in a row, and that never feels good.

When weighed integrity [...]

The Ambassador’s Great Mistake

Fear, was a great tool in Hitler’s arsenal. Really he had no need to kill very many people. Everyone knew he would, and so they didn’t try to stab him in the back. When Hitler saw someone that he was even suspicious of he would simply have them killed. If they disagreed with any of [...]

Propaganda and the Holocaust

Propaganda was probably the most widely used tool of the Nazi party. They brainwashed people with their messages. They said things so many times that people began to believe them, and people wanted to believe them. Why wouldn’t they? The Nazis were promising everything good, and asking very little in return. All they were asking [...]

Policies of the Nazi Party

The policies of the Nazis were designed to help them maintain control over Germany.  There are really two types of policies; your place in the nation, and absolute power.
