HUMAN DISLOATIONS
12
THE HOLOCAUST
  • Great destruction resulting in the extensive loss
    of life, especially by fire
  • The genocide of European Jews and other
    undesirables by the Nazis during World War II
  • Hitler killed over 12 million undesirables
    which 6 million were Jews in his concentration
    camps

13
THE HOLOCAUST
  • My first and foremost task will be the
    annihilation of the Jews.
  • "All the human culture, all the results of art,
    science, and technology that we see before us
    today, are almost exclusively the creative
    product of the Aryan..."
  • "The mightiest counterpart to the Aryan is
    represented by the Jew."
  • "And so I believe to-day that my conduct is in
    accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator.
    In standing guard against the Jew I am defending
    the handiwork of the Lord."

THE HOLOCAUST
  • My first and foremost task will be the
    annihilation of the Jews. "All the human
    culture, all the results of art, science, and
    technology that we see before us today, are
    almost exclusively the creative product of the
    Aryan..."
  • "The mightiest counterpart to the Aryan is
    represented by the Jew."
  • "And so I believe to-day that my conduct is in
    accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator.
    In standing guard against the Jew I am defending
    the handiwork of the Lord."
  • Adolf Hitler, 1922
  • If, with the help of his Marxist creed, the Jew
    is victorious over the other peoples of the
    world, his crown will be the funeral wreath of
    humanity and this planet will, as it did
    thousands of years ago, move through the ether
    devoid of men.
  • The end is not only the end of the freedom of the
    peoples oppressed by the Jew, but also the end of
    this parasite upon the nations. After the death
    of his victim, the vampire sooner or later dies
    too. Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

15
THE HOLOCAUST
  • The Jews have deserved the catastrophe that has
    now overtaken them. Their destruction will go
    hand in hand with the destruction of our enemies.
    Joseph Goebbels, 1942
  • Jews must pay for its crime just as our Fuehrer
    predicted in the Reichstag namely, by the wiping
    out of the Jewish race in Europe and possibly in
    the entire world. Joseph Goebbels, 1942

16
THE HOLOCAUST
  • Not much will remain of the Jews. On the whole it
    can be said that about 60 of them will have to
    be liquidated whereas only about 40 can be used
    for forced labor. Joseph Goebbels, 1942
  • I realized once again that the Jewish race is the
    most dangerous one that inhabits the globe, and
    that we must show them no mercy and no
    indulgence. This riffraff must be eliminated and
    destroyed. Joseph Goebbels, 1942

17
THE HOLOCAUST
  • At bottom, however, I believe both the English
    and the Americans are happy that we are
    exterminating the Jewish riff-raff. Joseph
    Goebbels, 1942
  • It is a question of existence, thus it will be a
    racial struggle of pitiless severity, in the
    course of which 20 to 30 million Slavs and Jews
    will perish through military actions and crises
    of food supply. Heinrich Himmler, June 1941
  • Whether nations live in prosperity or starve to
    death interests me only in so far as we need them
    as slaves for our culture otherwise, it is of no
    interest to me. Heinrich Himmler, 1943

18
THE HOLOCAUST
  • The final solution itself ... to put it bluntly,
    the extermination of the Jews, was not provided
    for by Reich Law.
  • It was a Führer's Order, a so-called Führer's
    Order. Adolf Eichmann, 1960-61

19
A Common Enemy
  • Hitler blames Jews for problems of Germany
  • Loss of WWI
  • German Economic Depression
  • Jews identified as a race not a religion
  • A New Education Begins
  • Save Germany from impurities
  • Aryan Virtues----Nuremberg Laws

  • Germans begin mass executions of European Jews
    and Eastern Europeans.
