Nazism and The Rise of Hitler (Part - 3)
The Nazi Worldview
They believe in racial hierarchy.
They thought that only blond, blue eyed, Nordic German Aryans were at the top and Jews were at low end.
They uses the theory of Herbert Spencer and Darwin to prove their injustice
Theory of Darwin is about evolution and natural selection.
Theory of spencer in that 'survival of the fittest'.
We should keep this in mind that they don't advocate human intervention.
But, Nazi uses this. They said that the strongest race (Aryans) would survive and the weak one would perish.
Second ideology is related to the geopolitical concept of living space which means new Territories should be acquired for settlement.

Establishment of the Racial state
They impose their ideology by starting killing those who are not aryans and saying them undesirable.
They wanted a pure and healthy Nordic Aryan's society.
Those who said to be undesirable and killed were
Jews (6 Million killed)
Gypsies (200,000 killed)
Polish (1 Million killed)
and many German (physically mentally disable (70000 killed)
This is done by genocidal war.
Jews remained worst sufferers because they were:
Stereotyped as killers of christ.
Usurers.
They were at the lowest part of racial hierarchy system.

The Racial Utopia
Under the shadow of war, Hitler imposed his idea of race
Occupied Poland was divided up and one part is made the General government area.
1933-1938 - Nazi terrorised, pauperised and segregated other race.
1939-1945 - Concentrating them in General Government and kill them in gas chambers
Those Polish children looked like Aryans were tested by experts.

STEPS TO DEATH
Stage 1: Exclusion 1933-1939

The Nuremberg Laws of citizenship of September 1935:
1. Only Persons of German or related blood would henceforth be German
citizens enjoying the protection of the German empire.
2. Marriages between Jews and Germans were forbidden.
3. Extramarital relations between Jews and Germans became a crime.
4. Jews were forbidden to fly the national flag.
Other legal measures included:
Boycott of Jewish businesses

Stage 2: Ghettoisation 1940 - 1944
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO LIVE AMONG US
From September 1941, all Jews had to wear a yellow Star of David on their breasts.
This identity mark was stamped on their passport, all legal documents and houses.
They were kept in Jewish houses in Germany, and in ghettos like Lodz and Warsaw in the east.
These became sites of extreme misery and poverty.
Jews had to surrender all their wealth before they entered a ghetto.
Soon the ghettos were brimming with hunger, starvation and disease due to deprivation and poor hygiene.

Stage 3: Annihilation 1941 onwards:
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO LIVE
Jews from Jewish houses, concentration camps and ghettos from different parts of Europe were brought to death factories by goods trains.
In Poland and elsewhere in the east, most notably Belzek, Auschwitz, Sobibor, Treblinka, Chelmno and Majdanek, they were charred in gas chambers.
Mass killings took place within minutes with scientific precision.
