What ways were Jews and Other minorities during the Holocaust Oppressed???

Question

I know they couldnt practice their religion, they were robbed of all material possessions ... but what else , please I need your help

Answer 1

At first the Jews were singled out for verbal harrassment only by the nascent Nazi Party and then as time went by and Hitler was legally elected as Chancellor of Germany, the oppression of the Jews and other socially determined undersirables (criminals, communists, retarded, gypsies, Catholics [the black triangle], Mormons, and Jews) increased.
Catholics were forced to wear a 'black triangle' in the concentration camps.

In 1938 20,000 Jews were sent to concentration camps, and after much harrassment and abuse, were released - German insurance companies paid millions of marks in claims, only then to have the Nazi Party force those released Jews to turn over their allotments to the government.

So over a period of time, say 1923 to 1942 (date of the Holocaust) Jews and other minorities were labled as 'Untermenschen' - sub-human - and designated for harrasssment and ultimately extermination.

Answer 2

By being killed.
Previous to being rounded up and shipped off, they were confined to ghettos with locked gates, required to register, refused new jobs and fired from jobs they had held (like teaching), and had to wear distinctive patches - like the yellow Star of David - on their clothing which subjected them to abuse from "citizens" and rabble. Like all citizens they had to carry identifying papers, but were subject to many additional rules that might result in their being delayed or confined unexpectedly on the suspicion they should have more papers, etc. If delayed, they might not be able to get back to the ghetto before curfew, being out on the street being a crime, and would have to hide until morning.

Answer 3

They had to go to different schools , different buses etc. Many shops were broken into - "kristallnacht" was an important event, synagogues were burned. Jewish books were burned. Jews had to wear the star of david, 6 million were sent to camps where they were shot, gassed or starved to death. Other minorities who also suffered were catholics, homosexuals, gypsies, black people.

Answer 4

well some of them still practiced their religion but they did it in secret. the jew were forced to wear the star of david on their clothes but the their kids that were under 5 didn't have to wear them because they were always with their parents.

so i hope that this little bit of information helps you.

Answer 5

Many Polish human beings helped Jews escape by using hiding them of their residences, gave them nutrients, took them out of ghettos, etc. in case you seem up the Yad Vashem's record of the Righteous between the international locations, lots of those men and girls folk have been Catholics. i'm specific you will locate heritage thoughts on them. a properly ordinary occasion is Irena Sendler. She replaced right into a Catholic social worker who smuggled Jewish infants out of their ghetto and saved 2500 infants from the Nazis. you may seem her up on any website to locate advice approximately her. related to Pope Pius, there are a number of information asserting that he concealed Jews interior the Vatican and helped them escape the rustic by using Vatican risk-free routes. Many believed him to be quiet appropriate to the Nazis to stay away from confrontations between them and the Church, yet I disagree. Hitler replaced into murdering Catholics besides as Jews. He hated the Catholics yet he looked as though it may hate the Jews much greater, that's ridiculous as he had Jewish blood...who will ever comprehend that disgusting pig?

Answer 6

They were thrown into concentration camps and either starved to death or killed in the gas chambers. Some were even slave labor, building all sorts of projects for the Nazis. Some even worked in factories helping to build the Nazi war machine.

Answer 7

Their businesses were talen from them. Their children removed from schools. Their neighbors were threatened with harm if they did not report them as Jewish to the authorities. Their assets were stolen as well as all the other attrocities listed above by others.
