Introduction
During World War II there were many deaths that
were caused by one man. That mans name was Adolf
Hitler. He discriminated against Jews, Gypsies, and
anyone that he thought that was not apart of his vision.
Hitler passed the Nuremberg Laws, made the people he
hated live in ghettos and poor conditioned concentration
camps, and he ordered the night of Kristallnacht. Hitler
was a very horrible, deceiving man. Adolf Hitler ostracized
an entire race of people by deliberately discriminating
against everyone that was not of the Aryan race.
1
Hitler
Adolf Hitler was born in
Austrian empire in 1889.
He is not an actual German
citizen.
He moved to Munich in 1913.
In 1919 Hitler became the
fuhrer/president of Germany.
In 1923 Hitler’s Nazi’s gained
enormous strength.
The war came to a closing
when Adolf Hitler killed himself
because he knew that he was
losing the war and his dream
was lost.

Nuremberg Laws
The Nuremberg Laws were
passed on September 15, 1935.
The Nuremberg Laws were to
punish the Jews because they
were not of Aryan Race.
Some of the conditions of the
Nuremberg Laws were that all
Jews must wear a six-point star
(Star of David) on the outside of
their clothes.
Jews were only allowed to shop
between 3 and 5 in the afternoon
in Jewish owned shops.
Jews were also not allowed to
be outside their homes after 8 at
night.

Ghettos
Ghettos were marked-off sections
of towns and cities that were also
called “Jewish residential quarters.”
In October and November of 1941
the first group of Austrian and
German Jews were transported to
the ghettos by the Nazi’s.
Nazi’s sometimes evicted nonJewish people from the cities that
were marked off to make more room
for the imported Jews.
Ghettos were sometimes enclosed
by barbed-wire fences or walls that
were also guarded by local and
German police including SS
members.

Kristallnacht
Kristallnacht was also called the
“Night of the Broken Glass.”
On the nights of November 9-10,
1938, the Nazi’s were ordered to
destroy all Jewish businesses and
synagogues.
1,000 synagogues were burned
and 7,000 businesses were
trashed and looted.
Police and fire brigades stood by
as others robbed Jewish schools,
cemeteries, and homes were.
5
Conditions of Concentration
In the Concentration
Camps
Camps there wasn’t really
enough room for all of the
occupants to live/sleep.
The “beds” in the camps
were brick barracks and the
occupants literally were
sleeping side by side like
books on a bookshelf.
In the Concentration
Camps the occupants were
only fed twice a day and all
they were given was a piece
of bread and a cup of water.
The Jews had their heads
shaved and they wore very
thin clothing.

Conclusion
In the end, there were many lives lost. Most of them were
uncalled for, but at the time the rest of the world was unaware of
Hitler’s actual hatred towards people that he thought was not of
the Aryan race. In a way not only did the unconquered people
fight against the Nazi’s, but the Jews and Dutch fought back by
keeping their hope alive and by easily hurting the Nazi’s by
trickery. Although many lives were lost, most that were put in the
Concentration Camps or Ghettos never lost hope that peace
would once again be the actual ruler of tomorrow.
