He formed the “GestapoGestapoGestapo” the secret police who hunted out anyone who might be against Hitler. They had the power to ar- rest or imprison anyone who might be against Hit- ler without a trial. Children were encouraged to report their teachers or parents if they made negative comments about the “Fuhrer”. By 1939 there were over 100,000 people in prisons for “Anti-Hitler crimes”. These people were known as “enemies of the state”. Hitler wanted a pure society that was not corrupt. Tramps, prostitutes and gay peo- ple would be put in prisons (also known as concentration camps). He believed that these people were destroying Germany. Hitler also believed that disabled or people with mental health problems should be destroyed as they damaged the strength of the German race as they would pass on their disabilities to their children. 300,000 men and women were sterilised (which meant that they could not have children) and hundreds of thousands of people were killed due to their illnesses. 3 HOME LEARNING ACTIVITY PACK 3 NAZI PERSECUTION PERSECUTION OF JEWS IN GERMANY Hitler believed that mankind was divided into races and that some races were superior to others. He felt that the superior race was the “AryanAryanAryan” race which was European of Anglo- Saxon origin. He felt that mixed race relationships “dirtied” the Aryan race. Races he believed should be de- stroyed were black people, gyp- sies, Russians and especially Between 1933-39 Hitler persecuted the Jews in particular. He did not start to trans- port Jews in mass to concentration camps until 1939 though. He was aware of what other countries would think. Instead Hitler made life as uncomfortable as possible for the Jewish in the hope that they would leave (but they had to pay a fine to leave. Jews were humiliated in schools where they would be picked on and violence against Jews was encouraged… signs such as “Jews enter at their own risk” were common in Germany. 4 HOME LEARNING ACTIVITY PACK 3 NAZI PERSECUTION PERSECUTION OF JEWS IN GERMANY Hitler also introduced a series of laws designed to make life as uncomfortable as possible for Jews.

By 1938 all Jews were sacked from their jobs and all children were banned from schools. All Jewish males had to add the name Israel to their first names and all females had to add the name Sarah and in 1939 all Jews could be evicted from their homes for no reason and were not allowed out of their homes after 8pm. By 1941 80% of German Jews had left the country. By 1945 Hitler had overseen the murder of 6 million Jewish people including 1.5 million children. 5 HOME LEARNING ACTIVITY PACK 3 NAZI PERSECUTION GHETTOIZATION The next step in Hitler’s plan was to forcibly separate the Jews from the Germans He began to order areas of cities and towns to be walled off – and demanded all the Jews be moved into those areas. Jews were not allowed to leave the Ghettos. Food was in very short supply. Jews were often not given much notice, and were forced to leave their homes; often to then find themselves shar- ing a cramped flat in derelict condition. 6 HOME LEARNING ACTIVITY PACK 3 NAZI PERSECUTION GHETTOIZATION ACTIVITY 1. What can you see happening in the images? 2. What do you think the people are trying to do? Jews stand in line with the possessions they can carry during their relocation to the War- saw ghetto in late 1940. They will be searched by the be- fore entry into the ghetto, to ensure they are not smuggling any- thing forbidden inside. TASK: Discuss what you would have taken into a ghetto had you been deported to one. 7 HOME LEARNING ACTIVITY PACK 3 NAZI PERSECUTION LIFE IN THE GHETTOS "I am hungry. I am cold. When I grow up I want to be German, and then I will no longer be hun- gry or cold," a child wrote in her diary. Many Jews starved to death in the Ghettos. Jews tried to sneak the food in, but if they Babies and children wasted away and died. were caught they were killed on the spot. Adults fought over a raw potato, and many The Nazis gave Jews very little food. At its children – like the ones in the previous very best, it was no more than 1,100 calo- photo – risked their lives to try to smuggle a ries a day. At its worst they’d only get small amount of food which would feed about 350 calories a day, sometimes only their whole family. 220 calories. 8 .

  • The Impact of the Nazi Racial Decrees on the University of Heidelberg Arye Carmon
    The Impact of the Nazi Racial Decrees on the University of Heidelberg Arye Carmon One of the first objectives realized by the Nazis during the years 1933-1935 was the "cleansing" (Saeuberung) of the German universities of their Jewish students and lecturers. This purge was connected with the attempt to "co- ordinate" (Gleichschaltung) German academic life with the tenets of National Socialism. Yet, while "co-ordination" and "cleansing" seem to us in retrospect to be interrelated processes, the Nazis considered them as two separate issues. The former was a long-range objective, which was never fully realized, while the ousting of Jewish academics was in fact one aspect of the Nazi "solution of the Jewish question." The following is an attempt to describe the "cleansing" process and to analyze its implications1. Although the research presented here is a case study of a single university - Heidelberg* - it also constitutes all attempt to 1 For a description of the expulsion of Jewish academics from the Berlin- Charlottenburg T.H. see Hans Ebert, “The Expulsion of the Jews from the Berlin-Charlottenburg Technische Hochschule,” Leo Baeck Institute Year Book , Vol. XIX, 1974, pp. 155–171. *The University of Heidelberg, established in 1386 by the Elector Palatine of the Rhine, Ruprecht I, for several centuries played a significant role in the spiritual life of Central Europe. In May 1803, during the Napoleonic wars, Karl Friedrich, Markgraf of Baden, issued an edict for the re-organisation of the university. This edict effected a departure from the medieval tradition of studium generale , according to which education had been regarded primarily as a tool of the state.

  • The Attack on Berlin Department Stores (Warenhaeuser) After 1933 Simone Ladwig-Winters
    The Attack on Berlin Department Stores (Warenhaeuser) After 1933 Simone Ladwig-Winters Georg Wertheim, the head of one of the four largest German department store chains in the 1920s and 1930s, noted in his diary: "1 January 1937 - the store is declared to be "German.”1 This entry marks the forced end to his activities in the business that he and his family had worked hard to build up. 2 Roots In 1875, Georg's parents, Ida and Abraham Wertheim (who sometimes went by the name Adolf), had opened a modest shop selling clothes and manufactured goods in Stralsund, a provincial town on the Baltic Sea. An extensive network of family members ensured a low-priced supply of goods. In 1876, one year after the shop opened, the two eldest sons Hugo and Georg (aged 20 and 19 respectively), went to work in the shop following their apprenticeships in Berlin. Three younger sons later joined them. The business was called "A. Wertheim" after the father, who increasingly withdrew from active management of the business. Guidelines were introduced into the business that had been known outside of Germany for some time but were innovative in German retailing. These included: "low profit margins with high sales and quick inventory turnover; a broad and varied selection of merchandise; fixed prices (price tags on the goods); viewing of merchandise without a personal, psychological obligation to buy; exchanges - even a right In addition to archival material of the Deutsche Bank, available in the Bundesarchiv, Abt. 1 Postdam (in the meantime moved to Berlin-Lichterfelde) for the first time in the wake of reunification, I was able to use the copy of Georg Wertheim's diary in the Archiv Stuerzebecher (cited in the following as: Wertheim, Diary).

The staff of the Times, the Daily Mail, the Manchester Guardian, the Financial Times, the Economist and the Spectator condemned the Jewish persecutions and expressed concern for the Jews in different degrees. When they discussed the Jewish refugees, they were aware of Britain’s national interests, and revealed their hesitation to accept the Jews through the press. A close examination of the reportage also shows that the editors and correspondents of these publications held different perspectives towards Nazi Germany, which influenced their narratives and attitudes towards the antisemitic events. !3ii Vita June 2011…………………………….High School Affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University May 2016…………………………….B.A. History, University of Wisconsin-Madison Fields of Study Major Field: History iii!4 Table of Contents Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………......ii Vita…………………………………………………………………………………………....iii Essay…………………………………………………………………………………………...1 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………………..42

My results show that although volatility was pronounced, it was not higher than during October 1931- July 1933. I analyze Keynes writings on the international monetary system in an effort to understand what he meant in his letter.

Helen Street McClelland Hall 401 Tucson, AZ 85721 520.621.3790 [email protected] Keywords: Recovery, Depression, Inflation, Devaluation, Expectations Abstract Recovery from the Great Depression began in March 1933, simultaneous to Franklin Roosevelt’s inauguration. However, the pace of that recovery between that date and the Second World War was extremely uneven with some dramatic starts and stops. Between March and July 1933, manufacturing production rose 78 percent, production of durable goods was up 199 percent, total industrial production rose 57 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 71 percent. Then the economy contracted sharply again beginning in August 1933—the July 1933 level of industrial production was not reached again until August 1935. This paper addresses two questions. What factors were responsible for bringing about the sharp recovery in the spring of 1933 and what factors brought this short-lived economic surge to an end? Recovery Spring, Faltering Fall: March to November 1933 Recovery from the Great Depression began in March 1933, simultaneous to Franklin Roosevelt’s inauguration.
