Information on the fascist persecution of the Jews during World War II

1. On January 30, 1933, Hitler was elected as Chancellor of Germany. After that, he began his crazy persecution of Jews. Initially, Nazi Germany took measures to suppress the Jews. Mainly, Jews are prohibited from serving as civil servants, judges, lawyers, doctors, etc.; Jews are not allowed to enter public entertainment venues; and they are not allowed to purchase goods from Jewish stores. The implementation of this policy restricted the rights of Jews in many aspects of economic, political, and social life, reducing the social status of German Jews to "second-class citizens."

2. On September 15, 1935, the Nazi Party held a congress in Nuremberg. This congress further escalated the policy of suppressing Jews. At the meeting, Hitler announced a new law that deprived the Jews of their citizenship, which reduced the Jews from "second-class citizens" to "national residents" without the right to vote or be elected. From then on, they lost their rights as citizens and all legal protections. Then, according to this new law, Nazi Germany forcibly expelled these "national residents" from the country and immigrated to other countries and regions, thus completing the upgrade from restriction to deprivation of Jewish rights.

That night, fascists from all over Germany and Austria took to the streets, wielding sticks, and frantically beat, smashed, looted, and burned Jewish homes, shops, and churches, openly persecuting and humiliating Jews. In this tragedy, according to statistics, 36 Jews were killed, 36 were seriously injured, 267 churches were burned, more than 7,500 Jewish shops were vandalized, and more than 30,000 Jewish men were arrested at home and taken to Dachau and Burundi. He was killed or tortured to death in the concentration camps of Markwald and Sachsenhausen. The economic loss from smashed glass alone was as high as 6 million marks.

On the third day after the scandal, many ministers from Nazi Germany, convened by Goering, held a meeting dedicated to the study of Jews, planning to deprive Jews of their due dignity as human beings. and rights. The Jews were forced to clear the burned churches and build parking lots for German use; they forced every Jew to wear an insulting mark; they forced the persecuted Jews to pay 1 billion marks to the Nazis.

The camp gradually expanded in size until it had jurisdiction over the main camp, Birkenau, and Buna districts. There were 33 small concentration camps in total. Later, concentration camps such as Treblinka, Majdanek, and Bergen-Belsen were established in the Polish occupied territories, and Theresienstadt concentration camp was established in the Czech occupied territories. With the escalation of anti-Semitic policies, starting in the summer of 1941, many concentration camps in the occupied territories were transformed into "extermination camps" and gas chambers and crematoria were installed.

5. During the invasion of the Soviet Union, the Nazi authorities used more brutal methods to deal with the Jews in the Soviet Union. The SS formed four "Special Operations Teams" A, B, C, and D, which followed each army group into the Soviet Union and massacred Jews. Each "Einsatzgruppe" has 500-1,000 members, mainly composed of members of the armed SS, public security police, Gestapo, criminal police, and SS Security Service. Wherever the "Special Operations Team" went, many places became "Jewish-free zones."

The meeting included the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Fifteen people including important officials from the Ministry of Eastern Affairs, the Central Security Bureau, the Four-Year Plan Office and the Polish General Government attended the meeting, focusing on the issue of dealing with the Jews. The meeting approved the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" plan formulated by Heydrich, which stipulated that Europe would be completely cleaned up from west to east, and all Jews would be sent to the eastern occupied areas to form labor brigades to engage in heavy labor until they exhausted their physical strength and reached the " until the final settlement" condition. People who were unfit for work, women and children were sent directly to the gas chambers.

Since then, gas chambers and crematoriums have been promoted, and the highly effective bactericidal insecticide "Zyklon-B" produced by the Farben Chemical Company and the Techsch Stabenov Company and the Dagsch Company was used to poison the Jews. main drugs.
