| Jews were blamed for many things through out history. They were blamed for the killing of Christ. They were blamed for the evil things in the world when there was no one else to blame. Jews were also hated for doing good in their business and becoming wealthy. Plus they were blamed for things they have nothing to do with like being born. |
| Before they went to camps and when Hitler came in power. Jews could not do things like be in the streets, teach in public schools, have jobs that have anything to do with the government. Jewish children had to sit in the last rows of desk in the class room. Soon Jews couldn't even be a citizen because of a law that was passed called the Nuremberg Racial Laws causing Jews to loose their citizenship immedtely. So 100,000 Jews left Germany. But even though they didn't want the Jews in their country the Germans made it hard for them to leave. also few countries would let the Jews in their country |
| At the camps the Nazi Party shaved the Jews head and painted a yellow stripe from their head the the end of their backs. The Nazis put numbers on their arms to identify them. Like one person's number equaled 18 and in the Hebrew and alphabet 18 was the word chai. Witch is life in English language. In the morning before they went to work Jews would get a piece of bread. At the camp Majanek they gave the Jews striped shirts and pants also wooden shoes, but when they went to work they had to take off their shoes and tie them around their shoulder with a string. Jews had to work no matter what. If the Nazis did not need any of the Jews they shot them the Jews. Some of the Nazis called the Jews dogs. If a Jew gets hurt and the Nazis know it they hang the Jew that is hurt. The Nazis also hang you for any little thing. What ever number went to work the same number has to come back from work. When Jews get back from there work they get a bowl of soup and the soup is made of water, grass, and sand. Jew work for12 hours. At night they sleep on wood. |
| Anti-Semites was not invented by the Nazis it was alive for many centuries. But 11,000,000 people were killed 6,000,000 Jews were killed. |
