Nazi

party

In a testimony by nazi General, wilhelm Bahr,

q: "Is it correct that you have gassed 200 russian pow's with ZYlon-B?"

a: "Yes, on orders."

German Nazi officers were so brainwashed that they obeyed orders rather than thought out THEIR actions.

Schutz-staffel

Founded in 1925, the “Schutzstaffel,” initially served as Bodyguards for Adolf Hitler

Schutzstaffel is GERMAN FOR “PROTECTIVE ECHELON,”

later they became one of the most powerful and feared organizations in all of Nazi Germany.

As told by

"my name is adolf Eichmann"

at long distances

with missiles?

Without ever seeing what you’d done to them?

Hiroshima...

My defense?

I vas a soldier...

Do you people think yourselves better

because you burned your enemies

Hitler

Hitler advocated for the Weimar Republic's destruction. 

He came to power as chancellor and delegated himself the supreme leader of Germany. 

Created the Nazi Party as well as strengthened a common enemy for the country to stand against. 

Axis

Powers

Germany, Japan, and Italy all contained ideas of antisemitic people. 

Of the the three, Germany was the most  clear about its anti-Jewish mission. 

"...the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew. "
-Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

German Citizens

The Nazi government was very careful with regards to the information that was made available to the public.

The non-jewish germans were not directly affected by the nazis' actions toward the jews. 

Hitler was a great leader as far as most germans were concerned. He made sure that the public was content using tax breaks and social benefits.

MARTIN NIEMÖLLER, nazi Protester, states....

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— 
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I did not speak out— 
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—

and there was no one left to speak for me.

Allied powers

The allied powers included: U.S., Britain, France, USSR, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Yugoslavia) 

It is documented that the united states did not do enough to help the german jews, with the information that was obtained. 

Isolationism, xenophobia, antisemitism, and an economic depression all lead to strict immigration quotas in the U.S.

Journalist Freda Kirchwey, Editor in CHIEF ofthe nation, (1943) writes, 

Jews

Many assume that jews did not do enough to resist the events of the holocaust. 

when you are a minority that is persecuted by the vast majority, often times, no amount of resistance is enough. 

Lack of resources combined with blatant ANTISEMITISM rendered any resistance by jews a useless cause. 

Who is to blame?

We believe that the nazi party and the schutzstaffel is to blame for most of the events in the holocaust.

These groups, lead by hitler, were so INFLUENTIAL in germany and could do anything they wanted. 

The mass murder was ULTIMATELY carried out by these two groups.
