Exam #4, Part 3

In the early 1930's, Germany really didn't have a solid governemnt at the time, which left it open for anyone to really step in. Adolf Hitler would do things and then when other countries would give him a chance all he would say was that he wouldn't do it again. So he, over time, gained more and more power. The people in were so shooken by the revolution and wars that they really saw hope in Adolf Hitler. With the country in this type of state it was perfect for the Nazi's to step in and take charge.
Hitler told the people of Germany that he would bring the country out of debt, and they completely loved him for that. So he first made the concentration camps to bring the people more jobs. But when he started to purify the country of the Jews, Slavics, Gypsies and others those people went into his concentration camps.This movement was the Nuremburg Laws, these stated that if you had 3 or 4 German grandparents than you were pureblood German, but if you had 3 Jewish grandparents than you were pure Jewish. It was Hitler's type of segregation, like the black and white segregation in America.
They saw the Jewish camps as just jobs to help build they're country. So they really didn't see anything wrong with the camps. Well obviously knew something bad was going on but they really didn't think they had to do anything about it. Finally the unstability of Germany at the time made it from a democratic nation to a horrible ending called the Holocaust.
