Since the Jews have been seen as the "bad guy" for so long in history it caused everyone to actually start believing it. If something is told to someone so many times eventually they are going to start to believe it. The Nazi's forcused so much propaganda into the world making it easy for everyone to believe that the Jews were the "bad guys".

We have discussed this concept before in class. When something is repeatedly said to someone, they will begin to believe it and it will become their truth. That is exactly what happened. The Nazis created propaganda and told people all of these assumptions and lies about the Jews, so not long after, ordinary people began to believe it too.

A group of people in the U.S that have been unfairly blamed were the Japanese. In the 1940's after Pearl Harbor the Japanese were sent to imprisonment camps. The U.S government thought the Japanese American could be a threat the U.S and thought they could have helped on the attack of Pearl Harbor. In these camps they forced them to do hard labor and had to go thought test to see if they were a good citizen or not.

Looking back at history, a group of people that have been unfairly blamed in the U.S. were the Japanese-Americans. After the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan, the U.S. assumed that all Japanese people living in America had something to do with the attack, and that they could not be trusted. Japanese-Americans were then placed in imprisonment camps and were forced to prove their citizenship.

A simple example of people who have been unfairly blamed for circumstances or events are African Americans. Historically and even know, Black people have been blamed for crime rates, economic hardship, and other social problems.

I think people did not question or protest what they were being told about the Jews because of the effect that propaganda had on people. The Nazis, under Joseph Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda, gained almost all control of the media, including newspapers, radio and films. This allowed them to easily spread their view of the Jews. Propaganda campaigns blamed Jews for Germany's economic problems. We also have to keep in mind there was pre-existing widespread anti semitism. In all, people may not have questioned or protested narratives about the Jewish people due to a combination of phycological, social, and historical factors that often stopped protests or speaking up.

Back in ancient times, there was no way to prove that they weren't responsible for things like sacrificing Jesus or being demonic. As time went on people didn't care to question if the things being said were true or not because the hate had been around for so long. Today, people are more than capable to do their research before spreading hate; However they never will because those who are willing to hate at this level will never do their research because they will believe anything they hear or see online.

Most people did not question what they were being told about Jews due to the Jews always being discriminated against and being poorly talked about. Additionally, the Nazis used sophisticated propaganda. There was a combination of fear, manipulated belief, and systematic control which made questioning and protesting against what was said about the Jews difficult, therefore; many people just believed what was said rather than arguing it.

After 9/11, many Islamic and Middle Eastern people were seen as a threat to the United States all because someone that happened to be the same religion or ethnicity was responsible for the attacks.

Just like African Americans and Natives, Japanese people were seen as different after the attacks on Pearl Harbor as people saw them as different and dangerous, sending them to incarceration camps, taking them from their homes.

From the start even before the holocaust the Jews were dehumanized and were segregated being seen as outsiders and stubborn people. Early church fathers believed that Jews failed their role in the world and christians inherited it. Although, the Romans crucified jesus, the blame was put on the Jews. In the middle ages Jews were living in Europe as outsiders and on the surface of local leaders. antisemitism was a huge part of the middle ages as Jews could only live were the rulers aloud them, and only practice certain trades or other professions that were shunned by everyone else. This led to false stereotypes like Jews only like money and engage in shady business. Aswell, during the back death, Jews were also blamed believing they poisoned the wells water.
