During the Second World War, the Nazis murdered nearly six million European Jews. This genocide is called the Holocaust.

They were German and Jewish with normal life until Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, which changed their life's dramatically. Hitler always used to shout/scream on the radio about his hate of anti-Semitic views that Jews and other people were responsible for all of the problems of Germany; they put the full blame on the Jews. People were confused on why they were at fault and felt hurt then people started looking at them differently, having different thoughts and opinions about them without asking for the truth. People started getting negative views on the Jews so much that their housekeepers left them saying they are unable to work for them.

In 1938, Kristallnacht (the night of broken glass) an unexpected event took place but it was far more than broken glass. Nazi Party helped to organise it and encouraged it. The supporters ransacked Jewish homes, schools and shops. There was no reason to steal and damage from the Jews yet they still did. Their religious place of worship (synagogue) got set on fire and destroyed. There were consequences for this which were that Jews were now unable to go to school and get an education.

People weren't safe in their homes anymore. It was so dangerous that they even had to leave Germany on the Kindertransport. Kindertransport are special trains that have been organised by the British people and others to help transport Jewish children under the age of 17 like Lotte . They were resettled in a variety of other European countries away from Germany and the danger. There were Nazi guards on look out so they were terrified they would get arrested or anything bad would happen at any moment. The girl was only 14 years old and she had to leave her mother and sail away from home. Her family, mother and brother stayed in Germany and she went alone with children (most likely young strangers) far away.

Nazis had started forcing Jews to wear yellow stars on their clothes so they could be identified as Jewish that way they would be treated differently. Many people got took by the Nazi secret police, the Gestapo to the convent and death camps. Her father and brother escaped across the border to Switzerland and her brother had to work in a labour camp and was forced to build roads by the Swiss government. Lotte never saw her mother ever again. Later on Lotte found out that her mother had been taken to a concentration and extermination camp. She was murdered by the Nazis with 6 million other Jewish people.

How does this refer to anti-semitism?

Anti-semtisim is the hatred/dislike of Jews most likely without a reason.

This non-fiction story points out a variety of acts that lead to anti-semitism. There are a array of ways that anti-semitism has been pointed out which are about to be told. All the negativity that had taken place is all done to none other than the Jews. Just the Jews.
Firstly, what Hitler did was scream and shout on the radio about the Jews, leaving them devastated. The worst thing is that they made other people have different views, thoughts and opinions on the Jewish people, which was in a really bad way. Jews were put on blame for no reason. Imagine you were Jewish and something really bad had happened that you may or may not have heard of and the entire blame had been directed towards your group of people although it is an obvious lie but it is being believed by everyone since it has been said by an “important” person (Hitler). This shows that there is hatred of the Jewish people.

Another example shown already is the night of the broken glass that took place in 1938. Supporters had ransacked Jewish homes, schools and shops. Was there a reason? Yes but it wasn't true. Even the synagogue was set on fire and destroyed. A place of worship must be respected no matter what because that's the place that helps people feel closer to their God and is the place where they pray for their God so it is like a very valuable/important place for people. People wouldn't dare to set a place of worship on fire but due to the tough hatred on Jews they did. This yet again shows that there is hatred of the Jews.



All of these are examples of Anti-semitism ( the hatred of Jews)

Answer 1

Your article provides a clear and concise overview of the Holocaust and its impact on the Jewish people. You effectively highlight the various ways in which anti-Semitism manifested itself under the Nazi regime, including Hitler propaganda, Night of Broken Glass, and Yellow Star's mandatory identification of Jews.

A suggestion for improvement is to include more information about the historical background and background leading up to the Holocaust, such as the rise of the Nazi party and its anti-Semitic beliefs. Also, it would be beneficial to include more specific details and examples to further support your arguments.

Overall, your article lays a solid foundation for the themes of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, and if developed further, could be an excellent piece.

Answer 2

and how it can manifest in various forms. It can start with propaganda and negative messaging that can spread quickly and easily through media, and can lead to harmful actions against a group of people. Anti-semitism can lead to discrimination, violence, and even genocide, as seen in the Holocaust. The use of symbols and identification markers, such as the yellow stars, are also common tactics used to single out and discriminate against a specific group of people. It is important to recognize and speak out against all forms of hatred and discrimination, to ensure that such atrocities do not occur again in the future.
