Felt Jews had natural impulse for world domination.

Nazis believed it was an “us” VS. “them” scenario

“all of history is a fight between races, which would culminate either in the triumph of the superior “Aryan” race or its total extinction.”

What is a common Jewish stereotype? Nazis believed

Nazis believed the Jews were inferior race

What is a common Jewish stereotype?

Nazis believed the Jews would use their ‘supposed’ control of world finances and of world mass media to support Communist uprisings and to encourage other “inferior” races to overwhelm the “Aryans”

Negative and false stereotypes such as….Murders of ChristAgents of the DevilPractitioners of witchcraftBlamed for the failure in WWI

“The Jews are our misfortune”

Germans who didn’t participate were not punished

BUT they risked peer, social and professional exclusion or disadvantageHow does this relate to the movie?Partner up and discuss where you see this

happening in your lives….. Once they joined, if the Nazis refused to

carry out direct orders then- disciplined, dismissed, imprisoned, or killed

More than 10,000 Jews died in fighting for Germany in WWII

Passed discriminatory laws targeting Jews at a gradual pace (slow pace)

Difficult to find other countries to let them in

The Jews did fight back against the Germans, and did not “just let the Holocaust happen”
