What I have Learned from these Websites
Website Number 1: Before the Nazis came into power, Jews lived in every single part of Europe. Approximately 9,000,000 Jews lived in these countries. By the end of World War II two out of three of these Jews would be dead. Jews mostly populated Eastern Europe that's including Poland, Hungary, Soviet Union, and Romania. Most Jewish families lived in Jewish neighborhoods called, shtetls. The Jewish people spoke a language called Yiddish. This language combines elements of Hebrew and German. They read Yiddish books and attended Yiddish theaters. Many younger Jews took on trendy, modernized ways of dressing. Older Jews dressed more traditionally. Jews in the western part of Europe adopted non-Jewish culture like the people they were surrounded by such as Germans, Italians, French, ect. Jews had a broad choice of jobs such as; farming, small business owners, tailoring , accounting, doctors, and many more professions. Some families were wealthier than others. Some children finished school and others got out of school and went into work.
Website Number 2: Before the Holocaust, Jews encountered a lot of Antisemitism. Which was the hatred of Jews. The Nazis used propaganda campaigns to promote their hatred. They wanted to portray them as inferior beings that were only worried about their wealth. They wanted to get others to follow along with their ideas to gain power. For Jews in Germany, times were already hard. After World War I Germany was facing a lot of economic hardship.. With this being said, Hitler then found a way to make the Jews seem like they were responsible for this hard time.
Website Number 3: During Middle aged times, Jews lived in close communities in both Western and Eastern Europe. They lived with mostly their selves and lived separately from their non- Jewish neighbors. The Jews were still frowned upon and didn't get to have certain jobs. Most of them made their money by being merchants or moneylenders. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century Jews wanted to expand from their enclosed communities and integrate with the European culture. Although Jews were granted all civil rights in Central and Western Europe, there were still many people that were against Jews. People looked upon them as a race that should not be allowed in European society. In parts of Russia and Poland there were many anti-Jewish riots during the nineteenth and twentieth century.
