Genocide is a term used to describe violence against members of a national, ethnical, racial or religious group with the intent to destroy the entire group, came into general usage only after World War II, when the full extent of the atrocities committed by the nazis regime against the Jews of Europe during that conflict became known. Genocide is made possible by Germany because nazis wanted to exterminate all the Jews.
The Nazi dictator blamed Jews for Germany’s defeat in WW1. A week before elections, a fire destroys the parliament building, the nazis blame the communists and win 44% of the vote and come to power. Hitler became dictator for 4 years. Individual Jews are attacked, and some are killed. The Nazi newspaper says 'Jews can never be anything but stateless aliens, they can never have any legal or constitutional status.' A concentration camp for imprisoning Nazi opponents is set up at Dachau. Jews are forced to sell their businesses, mostly for very low sums. Jews are increasingly excluded from such places as parks, libraries and museums. The number of Jews emigrating increases: by 1939 half of Germany's half million Jews have left the country, the largest number (over 160,000) moving to America. By 1939 no Jew will be able to have a job there. A concentration camp is opened at Buchenwald. In 1939, Hitler predicts that if there is war, Jews will be exterminated. German troops and SS units take every opportunity to kill Polish Jews. All Polish Jews are ordered to wear identification armbands showing the Star of David emblem. The first ghettos are set up in Poland, and Jews are forcibly brought in from town, country and abroad to endure the overcrowded and insanitary conditions. The ghettos are walled and locked, to isolate Jews from the rest of the population. Labour camps are set up in or near ghettos and are staffed by Jews forced to work there, increasingly as slaves. Most Jews have now been deprived of all or most of their human rights. A concentration camp is opened at Auschwitz.
How the Genocide ended ?
In 1948, the United Nations declared genocide to be an international crime; the term would later be applied to the horrific acts of violence committed during conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and in the african country of rwanda in the 1990s.
The Holocaust was the murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators. Between the German invasion of the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941 and the end of the war in Europe in May 1945, Nazi Germany and its accomplices strove to murder every Jew under their domination.
An international treaty signed by some 120 countries in 1998 established the International Criminal Court ( ICC), which has jurisdiction to prosecute crimes of genocide.
Synthesis: Genocide was made possible because of the beliefs that nazis had on the Jews and because Hitler made propaganda and cleaned the brain of germans to make sure that they will agree with him to exterminate all the Jews.
