Hi there,
Today in Social Studies we began a new topic, Nazi Anti-Semitism. We read about Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi party in Germany, and looked at statements that he wrote from his book called the Mein Kampf (My Struggle). His book was written during his time in prison in 1923, as he attempted to seize power by force in what became called the "Munich Putsch". Our task was to provide two quotes, one from each statement, which shows Hitlers anti-semitism and explaining how these statements represent anti-semitism.
What did Hitler actually say about Jews?
Quotes:
"The Jews were responsible for bringing negroes into the Rhineland with the ultimate idea of bastardising (lowering the quality of) the white race which they hate"
"The Jews hate the white race and wants to lower its cultural level so the Jews might dominate".
These quotes describe Hitlers anti-semitism. He is against Jewish people but did not invent the hatred of Jews. Hitler has many reasons why he hates the Jews; blamed them for the defeat of the Great Depression, he thinks Jews hates the white race and wanted to dominate them, he lowered their cultural/political level in their own country and spied on an innocent German girl, he planned to seduce, contaminate her blood and remove her from the bosom of her people. Back when the wars even started, it is clear that Hitler already has a quarrel of prejudice towards the Jews.
Hi Anneleise,
ReplyDeleteAs always, you are always making these neat informative blog posts and I like it. I like how you included a picture and highlighted the two quotes you provided out of Hitler's statements to make it stands out of your post. Maybe next time you could perhaps include a link of some sort to your resources but it's not really necessary. Overall good job and keep the good work :)
Kia O Ra Anneleise,
ReplyDeleteThis blog post that you have made has been constructed really well. I like how you stated your point clearly and I also like how you added a picture. One thing that could make this blog post even better than it is, is to maybe put the links of where you got your resources from. All in conclusion, you did a good job and keep up the good work!
