Anti-Semitism is a shameful phenomenon.Actually, any harassment and, even more so, physical destruction of people on a national basis is criminal, especially if it is initiated by the government and conducted on a national scale. History knows cases of mass genocide against representatives of different peoples. Hundreds of thousands of Armenians destroyed the Turks at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is not known to all that the Japanese soldiers cruelly dealt with the Chinese during the occupation of Nanking and Singapore in the late 1930s. The mass executions of the Serbian population were conducted in the war by the allies of Nazi Germany, the Croatian Ustashi. Historically, recently, in 1994, terrible national cleansing (Hutu killed Tutsis) shocked Rwanda.
But there are people who were exposed in the twentieth centuryThe strongest ethnic persecution, called the Holocaust. Modern Germans can not unequivocally explain what the Jews were destroying for their grandfathers, who grew up under the influence of Goebbels propaganda. It is possible that the ancestors themselves would not have found a clear argument for their actions, but in the thirties and forties, for them, in most cases, everything was clear and understandable.
On the question of why they exterminated the Jews in(and this happened not only in Germany of the twentieth century, but also in other countries at different times), the representatives of this people often hear the answer: "From envy!" In this version of the evaluation of the tragic events there is its own logic and truth. The Jewish people presented mankind with many geniuses who shone in science, art, and other areas of human civilization. The ability to adapt, the traditionally active position, active character, subtle and ironic humor, innate musicality, enterprise and other undoubtedly positive qualities are characteristic of the nation that gave the world Einstein, Oistrakh, Marx, Botvinnik ... Yes, you can list for a long time who else. But, apparently, it's not just a matter of envy of outstanding mental abilities. In the end, not all Jews are Einsteins. There are among them people and simpler. The sign of true wisdom is not its constant demonstration, but something else. For example, the ability to ensure a friendly environment. It's so that no one in the head has come to offend representatives of this people. And not out of fear, but out of respect. Or even love.
К власти и богатству стремятся люди разных nationalities. Those who really want to taste these attributes of the earthly paradise, are looking for ways to get things done and sometimes find them. Then other people (who can be conditionally called envious persons) have a desire to redistribute the good, in other words, to take away the values from the rich and to appropriate them or, in extreme cases, to divide them equally (or fraternally, this is when the eldest is more). During the pogroms and revolutions, successful owners of states of different nationalities, from Zulu tsars to Ukrainian higher state officials, come under the analysis. But why did they exterminate Jews primarily in virtually all cases of mass robbery? Maybe they have more money?
Jews for historical reasons from the oldestuntil the middle of the twentieth century had no state of its own. They had to settle in different countries, kingdoms, states and move to new places in search of a better life. Some of the Jews were able to assimilate, merging into the indigenous ethnos and dissolving into it without a trace. But the core of the nation still retained its identity, religion, language and other characteristics that determine national characteristics. It is a miracle in itself, because xenophobia is inherent in almost all indigenous peoples. The dissimilarity causes rejection and hostility, and they, in turn, greatly complicate life.
Knowing that the best reason for rallying the nationmay become a common enemy, Hitler exterminated the Jews. Technically it was easy, they were easy to recognize, they go to synagogues, observe kosher and Saturday, otherwise they dress and sometimes even talk with accent. Moreover, at the time of the Nazis' coming to power, Jews were not able to effectively resist violence, representing an almost ideal ethnically isolated and helpless victim. The desire for self-isolation, which conditioned the survival of the nation, once again worked as a bait for pogromists.
The answer to the question about why Hitler exterminatedJews, the most logical thing to look for in the biographical book of the Fuhrer. In it, the leader of the German people is somewhat in a boring manner, but he set forth his own political views in detail, and also assessed the role of different peoples in world historical processes. In his opinion, the main enemies of the Germans are the French and Jews. About Slavs, by the way, in "Mein Kampf" it is told a little and casually. Adolf Hitler believed that Jews are a nation parasitizing on a healthy body of Germany, and it is necessary to fight mercilessly with it. At the time of writing the book, this idea was no longer original, something similar was claimed by Karl Marx, Voltaire, and some other highly respected thinkers. But it was Hitler who translated this question into a practical plane, not limited to theoretical positions.
After the defeat of Nazism, many Germans claimed,that they did not know anything about concentration camps, ghettos, high-performance furnaces of crematoria and giant ditches, filled with human bodies. They did not even know about soap, candles made from human fat, and other cases of "useful utilization" of the remains. Some of their neighbors simply disappeared somewhere, and information about atrocities in the occupied territories was not heard by the authorities. It is clear desire to deny responsibility for war crimes of ordinary servicemen and Wehrmacht officers, they pointed to the SS troops, engaged mainly in punitive operations. But there was also a "crystal night" in 1938, during which not only storm troopers in brown shirts, but also ordinary people were acting. Representatives of the sentimental, talented and industrious German people, with sweet ecstasy, crushed the property of their recent friends and neighbors, and they themselves were beaten and humiliated. So why did the Germans exterminate the Jews, what are the reasons for the sudden fierce hatred? Were there any reasons?
To understand the reasons why Jews were exterminatedThe Germans, their recent neighbors and friends, should immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Weimar Republic. Many historical studies have been written about this period, and those who do not want to read scientific volumes can learn about it from the novels of the great writer E. M. Remarque. The country suffers from the unbearable indemnities imposed by the Entente countries that won the Great War. Poverty borders on hunger, while the souls of its citizens are increasingly dominated by a variety of vices caused by forced idleness and the desire to somehow brighten up their gray, beggarly life. But there are also prosperous people, businessmen, bankers, speculators. Entrepreneurship, because of centuries of nomadic life, the Jews in the blood. They became the backbone of the business elite of the Weimar Republic, which existed from 1919 to 1933. There were, of course, poor Jews, craftsmen, craftsmen, musicians and poets, artists and sculptors, and they were the majority of the people. They basically became victims of the Holocaust, the rich managed to escape, they had money for tickets.
The peak of the Holocaust reached during World War IIwar. In the territory of occupied Poland the "death factories", Majdanek and Auschwitz, immediately began their work. But the flywheel mass murder by nationality scored after the Wehrmacht invaded the USSR.
В ленинском политбюро большевистской партии Jews were many, they even made up the majority. By 1941, large-scale cleansing was carried out in the CPSU (B.), As a result of which the national composition of the Kremlin leadership underwent significant changes. But on the grassroots (as they say, "on the ground") levels and in the organs of the NKVD, the Jewish Bolsheviks still retained a quantitative dominance. Many of them had experience of the Civil War, their merits to the Soviet authorities were assessed as indisputable, they participated in collectivization, industrialization and other large-scale Bolshevik projects. Is it worth asking why Hitler exterminated Jews and commissars in the occupied Soviet territories in the first place? For the Nazis, these two concepts were practically identical, and eventually merged into a single whole definition of "zhidokommissar."
National dislike was instilled gradually.Race theory began to dominate the Third Reich almost immediately after the Nazis came to power. On the screens of the cinemas appeared chronicles of ritual sacrifice, during which the rabbis killed cows, cutting their throats with a sharp knife. Jewish men and women are very beautiful, but Nazi propagandists were not interested in such propaganda. For agitation rollers and posters, "walking aids for anti-Semites" were specially selected, with persons expressing brutal cruelty and stupidity. So the Germans became yudofobami.
After the victory of the commandant's office of the victorious countriescarried out a policy of denazification, and in all four occupation zones: Soviet, American, French and British. Residents of the defeated Reich were in fact forced (under the threat of deprivation of food rations) to view the exposing documentary films. This measure was aimed at leveling the consequences of the twelve-year "brainwashing" of deceived Germans.
Reasoning about geopolitics, preaching idealsracial superiority of the Aryans and calling for the destruction of peoples, the Fuhrer nevertheless remained, paradoxically, an ordinary man suffering from a number of psychological complexes. One of them was the question of their own nationality. To understand why Hitler exterminated the Jews is difficult, but one of the keys can serve as the origin of his father, Alois Schicklgruber. The infamous name of the father of the future Führer was received only after the official declaration of paternity certified by three witnesses and made by Johann Georg Hitler in 1867 for reasons of inheritance.
Alois himself was married three times, and there is a version about how,that one of his children from a previous marriage tried to blackmail the "leader of the German people" with information about the semi-Jewish origin of their common father. This hypothesis has a number of inconsistencies, but due to chronological remoteness it can not be completely ruled out. But it can explain some of the subtleties of the morbid psyche of the demoniac Fuhrer. In the end, the Jewish anti-Semite is not such a rare phenomenon. And Hitler's appearance does not correspond to the racial standards adopted in the Third Reich. He was not a tall blue-eyed blonde.
Try to explain why Hitler exterminatedJews, it is possible and from the standpoint of the ethical-philosophical base that he put under the process of physical annihilation of millions of people. The Fuhrer was fond of occult theories, and his favorite authors were Guido von List and Elena Blavatsky. In general, the version of the origin of the Aryans and the ancient Germans turned out to be rather confused and contradictory, but for the Jews, the policy was based on that mystical assumption that they, identified by Hitler as a separate race, are supposedly dangerous for the whole of humanity, threatening to destroy it completely.
Assume that a whole nation can be drawn intoa kind of global conspiracy, it is difficult. With a multimillion-digit strength, somebody would certainly be talking about an anti-human plan, in which everyone participates, from the shoemaker Rabinovich to Professor Geller. On the question of why the fascists exterminated the Jews, there is no logically justified answer.
War crimes against humanityare committed when people refuse to think independently, relying on their leaders, and no doubt, and sometimes with pleasure, fulfill someone's evil will. Unfortunately, similar phenomena still occur today ...
