The Holocaust
Hitler and his Nazi followers
brutally killed 6 million men, women, and children only because they were Jews
The Nazis killed non Jewish people such as the Soviet prisoners
America's Impact
People chose to stay quiet rather than standing up for the right thing
The US stopped St.Louis ("a German ship carrying Jewish Refugees to Cuba in 1939" - Heuvel) from landing at the American port when Cuba refused to let them
The American eminent speaker said "The Nazis were the murderers but we were the all to passive accomplices" and when he says "we", he means the government, president, people
Franklin Roosevelt was against Hitler and wrote a book on his views and the last sentence was "the world lives on hopes that the worst is over and that we may live to see Hitler a gentler figure in a happier age."
Jews
They livened Germany's culture through their literature, music, finance, medicine, science, and intellectual life
The population has been decreasing since many people are deciding to flee or getting killed by the Nazis
There were about 525,000 people in 1933
In the same year, 1933, 37,000 Jews left Germany but in that same year, 16,000 people came back to Germany
"Every Jewish group affirmed the right of Jews to be German to live in and lobe their country; they affirmed the legal right, the moral necessity, and the religious imperative of not surrendering to their persecutions."
How do these all relate?
Went to Jew's houses and forced them out of their own homes and threw them in concentration camps
America greatly impacted everything that happened with Hitler by staying silent and that led to concentration camps occurring too
