Video_Analysis_Holocaust.docx Video Analysis: The Holocaust Chamberlain University College of Nursing Contemporary History HIST410N-61013 The Nazis Reasoning During the Holocaust the Nazis were responsible for carrying out the execution of the Jews as they were depicted as the ones responsible for the Germans losing in World War I. Hitler depicted the Jews as animals, those with mental disabilities as well as criminals, even the killing of children was justified, “constitute a danger no smaller than that of the parents†(Faison et al., 1985).The Nazis believed the Jewish people were to blame for all the problems Germany was facing; blaming the loss of the war on them which lead to the Versailles Peace Treaty. This treaty caused Germany to pay reparations and the financial burden lead to inflation, depression and unemployment to spread (Faison et al., 1985). There was preexisting prejudice against the Jews dating back to the middle ages, they were successful bankers, lawyers and scientists and their achievements provoked much envy and mistrust (Duiker 2015 p. 122). They used this as an opportunity to seek out the mass killings and justified their actions by saying the Jewish influence was responsible for their misfortunes. Antisemitism influenced the Nazis heavily when the decisions were made to carry out the Holocaust (Steinweis, 2006). Society The German people at the time were convinced the Nazis were fighting for the freedom of the German people that was going to be taken by the Jews.
