Joseph Gobble was a friend of Adolf Hitler and was also a member of hitlers party. Gobbles and Hitler got the people of Germany to believe that Hitler was a good leader by talking positively about him in the newspapers and, political gatherings.

In 1933, the year Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) became chancellor of Germany, he named Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945), his trusted friend and colleague, to the key post of minister for public enlightenment and propaganda. In this capacity, Goebbels was charged with presenting Hitler to the public in the most favorable light, regulating the content of all German media and fomenting anti-Semitism. Goebbels forced Jewish artists, musicians, actors, directors and newspaper and magazine editors into unemployment, and staged a public burning of books that were considered "un-German." He also spearheaded the production of Nazi propaganda films and other projects. Goebbels remained in this post and was loyal to Hitler until the end of World War II (1939-45). On May 1, 1945, the day after Hitler committed suicide, Goebbels and his wife poisoned their six children and then killed themselves.

Joseph Goebbels: Early Years

Paul Joseph Goebbels was born on October 29, 1897, in Rheydt, Germany, an industrial city located in the Rhineland. Because of a club foot that he acquired during a childhood bout with osteomyelitis, a swelling of the bone marrow, the young Goebbels was exempted from service in the German army during World War I (1914-18). Instead, he attended a series of German universities, where he studied literature and philosophy, among other subjects, and went on to earn a Ph.D. in German philology from Heidelberg University.

Did you know? Despite the anti-Semitism Joseph Goebbels promoted as Germany's minister for public enlightenment and propaganda, some of his favorite schoolteachers were Jewish, and Goebbels was even once engaged to a young woman who was part-Jewish.

In the first half of the 1920s, after unsuccessfully attempting to establish a career as a journalist, novelist and playwright, Goebbels became a member of the National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party, which promoted German pride and anti-Semitism. Goebbels eventually became acquainted with the organization's leader, Adolf Hitler. At this time, inflation had wrecked the German economy, and the morale of the German citizenry, who had been defeated in World War I, was low. Hitler and Goebbels were both of the opinion that words and images were potent devices that could be used to exploit this discontent. Hitler was impressed with Goebbels' ability to communicate his thoughts in writing, while Goebbels was enamored of Hitler's talent for speaking in front of large crowds and employing words and gestures to play on German nationalistic pride.

Goebbels: Rising in the Nazi Party Ranks

Goebbels quickly ascended the ranks of the Nazi Party. First he broke away from Gregor Strasser (1892-1934), the leader of the more anti-capitalistic party bloc, who he initially supported, and joined ranks with the more conservative Hitler. Then, in 1926, he became a party district leader in Berlin. The following year, he established and wrote commentary in Der Angriff (The Attack), a weekly newspaper that espoused the Nazi Party line.

In 1928, Goebbels was elected to the Reichstag, the German Parliament. More significantly, Hitler named him the Nazi Party propaganda director. It was in this capacity that Goebbels began formulating the strategy that fashioned the myth of Hitler as a brilliant and decisive leader. He arranged massive political gatherings at which Hitler was presented as the savior of a new Germany. In a masterstroke, Goebbels oversaw the placing of movie cameras and microphones at pivotal locations to accentuate Hitler's image and voice. Such events and maneuverings played a pivotal role in convincing the German people that their country would regain its honor only by giving unwavering support to Hitler.

Joseph Goebbels: Hitler's Propaganda Minister

In January 1933, Hitler became the German chancellor, and in March of that year he appointed Goebbels the country's minister for public enlightenment and propaganda. In this capacity, Goebbels had complete jurisdiction over the content of German newspapers, magazines, books, music, films, stage plays, radio programs and fine arts. His mission was to censor all opposition to Hitler and present the chancellor and the Nazi Party in the most positive light while stirring up hatred for Jewish people.

In April 1933, at Hitler's directive, Goebbels orchestrated a boycott on Jewish businesses. The following month, he was a guiding force in the burning of "un-German" books in a public ceremony at Berlin's Opera House. The works of dozens of writers were destroyed, including German-born authors Erich Maria Remarque (1898-1970), Arnold Zweig (1887-1968), Thomas Mann (1875-1955), Albert Einstein (1879-1955) and Heinrich Mann (1871-1950), and such non-Germans as Émile Zola (1840-1902), Helen Keller (1880-1968), Marcel Proust (1871-1922), Upton Sinclair (1878-1968), Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), H. G. Wells (1866-1946), Jack London (1876-1916) and André Gide (1869-1951).

In September 1933, Goebbels became director of the newly formed Reich Chamber of Culture, whose mission was to control all aspects of the creative arts. An offshoot of the formation of the chamber was the forced unemployment of all Jewish creative artists, including writers, musicians and theater and film actors and directors. Because the Nazis viewed modern art as immoral, Goebbels instructed that all such "decadent" art be confiscated and replaced by works that were more representational and sentimental in content. Then in October came the passage of the Reich Press Law, which ordered the removal of all Jewish and non-Nazi editors from German newspapers and magazines.

Joseph Goebbels: The Power of the Moving Image

At the start of World War II in 1939, Goebbels was entrusted with the task of uplifting the spirit of the German people and employing the media, and specifically the cinema, to convince the population to support the war effort. A typical project he instigated was "Der ewige Jude," also known as "The Eternal Jew" (1940), a propaganda film that ostensibly charted the history of the Jews. In the film, however, Jews are depicted as parasites who disrupt an otherwise tidy world.Goebbels also orchestrated the production of "Jud Süss" (1940), a feature film depicting the life of Josef Süss Oppenheimer (1698-1738), a Jewish financial consultant who collected taxes for Duke Karl Alexander of Württemberg (1684-1737), ruler of the Duchy of Württemberg, in the early 18th century. After the duke's sudden death, Oppenheimer was put on trial and executed. Under Goebbels's stewardship of the project, the story of Jud Süss was transformed from a human tragedy to an allegory about Jewish self-importance and greed.

Joseph Goebbels: The Beginning of the End

In 1942, Goebbels organized "The Soviet Paradise," a large Nazi propaganda show that was exhibited in Berlin. Its purpose was to bolster the resolve of the German people by exposing the chicanery of Jewish Bolsheviks. On May 18, Herbert Baum (1912-42), a Berlin-based German-Jewish Resistance leader, and his accomplices partly demolished the exhibition by setting it on fire.

Goebbels refused to allow this act to be reported in the German media. Nonetheless, Baum and his small but determined group succeeded in striking a sizeable psychological blow to Goebbels and his propaganda machine.

Joseph Goebbels: Final Years

As the war plodded on and German casualties mounted, Goebbels became a proponent of an all-out battle to the death against the Allied forces. In this regard, he employed his own abilities as a public speaker to further incite the German populace. On one occasion, in August 1944, speaking from the Sports Palace in Berlin, he commanded the German people to support a total war effort. If Germany was destined to lose the war, he reasoned, it was fitting that the German nation and people be obliterated.

As 1944 segued into 1945, the German defeat seemed inevitable to the Nazi regime. While other Nazi higher-ups made contact with the Allies in the hope of negotiating lenient treatment after the German surrender, Goebbels remained steadfastly devoted to Hitler.

During the last days of April 1945, as Soviet troops were on the threshold of Berlin, Hitler was holed up in his bunker. Goebbels was the lone senior Nazi official at his side. On April 30, Hitler committed suicide at age 56 and Goebbels replaced him as Germany's chancellor. However, Goebbels' reign was short-lived. The following day, he and his wife, Magda (1901-45), fatally poisoned their six children. The couple then took their own lives, although accounts of exactly how they died vary.

On the night of November 9-10, 1938, the Nazi regime coordinated a wave of antisemitic violence in Nazi Germany. This nationwide riot became known as Kristallnacht or the "Night of Broken Glass." The name "Kristallnacht" is a reference to the shattered glass from store windows that littered the streets during and after the riot. Kristallnachtis also sometimes referred to as the November pogrom.

The violence was supposed to look like an unplanned outburst of popular anger against Jews. In reality, Kristallnacht was state-sponsored vandalism and arson. Nazi leaders actively coordinated it with Adolf Hitler's support. On the night of November 9, Nazi leaders ordered members of the Nazi Party's paramilitaries (the SS, the SA, and the Hitler Youth) to attack Jewish communities.

In the hours and days that followed, organized groups of Nazis wreaked havoc on Jewish life in Nazi Germany. During the riot, local Nazis set hundreds of synagogues on fire. They vandalized thousands of Jewish-owned businesses. They desecrated Jewish cemeteries. They broke into homes, smashed furniture, and terrorized Jewish families. Following orders given by Nazi leaders, police forces and fire brigades did not intervene to stop the destruction. Policemen did not protect Jews or their property. Firemen did not put out fires in synagogues.

The rioters also attacked and beat individual Jewish people. As a result, hundreds of Jews died during Kristallnacht and its aftermath. Some died of injuries inflicted during the riots. Others were deliberately killed.

During Kristallnacht, the Nazi regime ordered the police to arrest about 30,000 German Jewish men. These men had not committed any crime. The police arrested them simply for being Jewish. They were sent to concentration camps such as Dachau and Buchenwald. In the concentration camps, the men were humiliated and violently attacked. Some even died. The arrests shocked and terrified Jewish families and communities. In the following months, the Nazi authorities released many of these men if families could prove they had plans to leave Germany.

Kristallnacht was an important turning point for Germany's Jews. Afterwards, many Jews concluded that there was no future for them in Nazi Germany.

What happened on that night?

That night in Germany, thousands upon thousands of Jews were subject to terror and violence by the Nazis. Over 1,000 Jewish synagogues and over 7,500 Jewish businesses were destroyed, and approximately 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and taken to concentration camps. The name, "Night of Broken Glass," comes from all of the shattered glass windowpanes that littered the streets of Germany after the destruction. The assassination of von Rath and the events of this night were exploited and manipulated by the Nazis to begin the total annihilation of the Jews in Europe.

Because of this fortunate coincidence, it survived the Holocaust in safety and was delivered to its owner, Werner Weinberg, unscathed. The scroll was commissioned by his great-grandfather in 1845 and was used for generations in the synagogue of Rheda, a small town in Westphalia, Germany, whose synagogue was burnt to the ground in 1938 during Kristallnacht. Compared to the loss, destruction, and death represented by the destroyed Torahs shown at the top of the above picture and in the picture below, the Weinberg Torah represents hope, life, and overcoming odds. It is a gift to have this Torah with us today, a symbol of survival.

The Orders

Goebbels addressed the crowd at the Nazi gathering in Munich, inciting Party leadership and getting the Nazis ready for action. Heydrich, another Party official, then issued orders to all the state police, giving them instructions as to how the night of "spontaneous" violence would go. He ordered the police to prevent looting, to stop any non-Jews or their property from being harmed, and to arrest as many able-bodied male Jews as possible. This began the events of Kristallnacht and the first major imprisonment and deportation of Jews to concentration camps.

The Consequences

As a result of this night of violence, over 1,000 synagogues and over 7,000 Jewish businesses in Germany were destroyed. About one hundred Jews were killed, but thousands were subjected to torment and violence. About 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and deported to the concentration camps Buchenwald, Dachau, and Sachsenhausen. Even more anti-Jewish legislation was also set in place:

Jewish businesses/factories were confiscated

Jews were barred from the majority of public places

Jewish children were expelled from all German schools

Jews were subject to curfew restrictions

all insurance money paid to Jews due to property damage was confiscated by the German government

Jews were forced to pay for all damage done to property during Kristallnacht- made to pay retribution of one billion Reich marks

Jews were forced to emigrate out of Germany

Jews were forced to wear badges with the Star of David for identification

ghettos began to be established iv

Hitler and the Nazis irrationally manipulated these events to give them an excuse to attempt the total annihilation of the Jews. The events of Kristallnacht eventually led to the plans for the Four-Year Plan and the steps to the Final Solution.
