Racism in Nazism

During World War II the Nazis sent millions of Jews,Slavs, Gypsies and others to concentration camps, where they were tortured and murdered. Hitler directed his most bitter attacks against the Jews. In 1938 Nazis attacked Jews on the streets. Hitler secret police arrested Jews, and many of them were shot and others were sent to concentration camps, in these camps people were confined under harsh conditions. Hitler was obsessed with ideas about race, he beliefs in racial “purity”, for Hitler the ideal “Aryan” that was blond, blue-eyed and tall, after this he proclaims Germany’s destiny to rule over inferior races; and they identify Jews as racial enemies, he said “No Jew, therefore, may be member of the nation”.

He believed the Jews to be an exceptional evil, working within the nation to subvert “racial purity”. He urged the “removal of Jews from Germany.

Hitler and other Nazi leaders viewes the Jews not as a religious group. But as a poisonoes “race”, which “lived off” the other races and weakened them.

 Hitler took the power, and Nazi teachers in school classrooms began to apply the “principles” of racial science, they measured skull size and nose length and they recorded the color of their hair and eyes to determine if they belonged to the true “Aryan” race. Jewish and Gypsies students were often humiliated in this porcess.

He also believes that “racial purity” requires state regulation of huma reproduction; Hitler issues the law to prevent hereditarily diseased offspring.

The measure prohibits “undesirable” from having children and mandates forced sterilization of certain physically or mentally impaired inidividuals.

This law affected many people.

Hitler did many things to have a pure race, not all these things were right especially the racism that occurred in that time. Jews and Gypsies were innocent people, who had no fault to be like they were. These people suffered many humiliations from the nazis, the worst thing about this is that they were sent to concentration camps, where they lived in harsh conditions, and most of these people were killed. Hitler thought that one day he would obtain that pure race that he wants, making this even hard to Jews and Gypsies people. Finally Hitler was detained and many of these innocent people were saved.
