In the 1920's, Germany encountered a great mired in an economic depression. Millions of citizens suffered hunger and many remained out of work. The national spirit of the once-proud people became low. The Germans became enraged by their loss of World War I and stood humiliated by the terms they had to accept in 1919 the treaty of Versailles. The War had a destruction of millions of deaths. Germany had to give up territory, slash its military, and pay billions of dollars in reparations for the damaged it caused during the war. Hitler used his nation's despair and humiliation as fuel for a new political monument, which took shape as the Nazi party (Schoenbaum 8).

In 1933, Hitler achieved his goal of gaining political power. In January 30, President Von Hindenburg swore Hitler as Germany's new chancellor. Hitler then took charge of the armed forced the police, and other institutes.

Violence flared as the invaders burned down synagogues and businesses. In one town, Nazis started burning a Jewish home for the poor. Angri (Zechs worked to put out the fire and took turns guarding the home before they were overpowered by armed Nazis. Non-Jewish (Gentile) czechs also showed their support by continuing to shop in Jewis -owned stores after the Nazis required these places to display an important Jewish symbol, the six-pointed Star of David. Aproximately 3.3 million Jews lived in Poland before the German invasion of western Poland and the subsequent soviet invasion of eastern Poland. Centuries of harsh antisemitism had forced these people to rely a great deal on their own resources. At times during the Middle Ages, when Jews were not allowed to own land or enter most professions, landowners hired Jews to serve as their merchants, moneylenders, and tax collectors. As they carried out these orders, Jews aroused the anger of the lower classes. There existed a widespread mistrust of ethnic minorities in general, but feelings toward the Jews always seemed to jave the most negetive. The catholic church fortified its powerful position by exploiting these prejudices and critizing Jews and their faith (Fischer 262).

Finally, regarding Nazi jewish policy as if these three feactures of the political system did not already promise to produce inconsistence, the eliminationist ideology seemed compatible with a variety of "solutions" and virtuallity all of them were unprece dented and difficult to implement. These feactures of the Nazi system complicate the attempt to understand what the Nazis intentions had for disposing of German and European Jews and, whatever their intentions they hold, what considerations moved them to adopt the actual policies and measures that they chose (Hermans 12-3).

Nazis became brainwashed. They became manipulated in to believing that the Germans exsisted as the best the best and that their blood was the purist and that no one would be greater than they would. Nazi were formed as well to believe that all Jews were the enemies of all Germans. Some though were forced to become Nazis because their families had no money and they had no other way of making a living during the depression. Once at the training sessions they would, without knowing become brainwashed. Nazis were formed to form a totalitarian government, a government where all of human affairs were controlled by the government (Dallin 68-9).

They got Killed either incide the huge pits or along the edges. Some though got buried alive. Some executions lasted for hours, other Einsatzgruppen Killen victims inside special vans that funcioned as moving gas chambers. People were locked inside and gas fumes piped in, causing death by a faithful process of suffocation. As spread about these vans, Jews began to hide when they spotted on the road. The cruelty and sadism of the execution tactics now reached oven more severe levels. An eyewitness later described the barbarism he witnessed in a region of the Soviet Union. There, Jews got shot in trenches and sprayed with powdered lime, a caustic substance that burns flesh and causes bodies to decay. Row upon row of human beings got forced tolie on to of the dead so that they, too, could be shot. Children's heads got beaten against stones. Many were still got burried alive (Michel 98-100).

The Nazis based their intentions and policies throughout on an articulated, shared understanding of Jews, namely their eliminations, racial antisemitism. When it recognized that the eliminationist ideology-which provided a diagnosis of the perceived problem and which implied a variety of possible practical "solutions" to it - underlay the nazis thinking and actions, then the contours of their policies towards Jews appear far less enigmatic, far more deliberate, far easier to undersstand for what they had "a concerted yet flexible and necessarily experimental attempt, born of conscious intent, to iliminate
