there’s literally no positive impacts to being a Jew

…

negative impacts:

subjected to hard labour

poor living conditions

Germans subject them to both physical and psychological abuse

pretty Jews become sex slaves

if they make it out alive they’re broke and have trauma (Germans stole their money)

…imagine the Germans just experimented different torture methods on the Jews

"We are the race that must dominate the world. That is what we have been told. And all others must bow to the Nordic race, for they are only slaves. We are the masters of the world." - member of SS

“…We are permitted to do that which must be done, albeit hard. We are saving the German people." - SS doctor

"It was not Hitler, Göring, Goebbels, Himmler, or whatever the others were called, who had me dragged away and beaten. No, it was the cobbler, the neighbor, the old man, the milkman, the postman, those without form suddenly given armbands and a cap on their heads and then they were the master race." - prisoner of auschwitz

"You are already one of the master race. You can profit by it. You yourself can be a small fuhrer, at least in your own small circle. And such corruption is effective." - prisoner of auschwitz

"They said, you perform the hardest service any soldier has to carry out. Namely, exterminating the Jews. The Jews are our misfortune and you can say: we were there, we got through it, we were courageous, we did all that." - SS doctor

NARRATOR: The SS and its leader Heinrich Himmler, blindly following Hitler's will, executing his commands - the organisation with the runic insignia represents the elite of the Nazi regime, sworn to fight and destroy every declared enemy.

PATER GEREON GOLDMANN: "We are the race that must dominate the world. That is what we have been told. And all others must bow to the Nordic race, for they are only slaves. We are the masters of the world."

NARRATOR: Members of the SS can go far. Belonging to a select fellowship, fulfilling a select mission, is elevated to a veritable cult.

HANS MÜNCH: "It was their religion. Thus, we are the chosen. We are permitted to do that which must be done, albeit hard. We are saving the German people."

NARRATOR: More than any other, those wearing the uniform of the SS have the power over life and death.

KAREL STOJKA: "It was not Hitler, Göring, Goebbels, Himmler, or whatever the others were called, who had me dragged away and beaten. No, it was the cobbler, the neighbor, the old man, the milkman, the postman, those without form suddenly given armbands and a cap on their heads and then they were the master race."

NARRATOR: The SS commands a network of concentration camps where hundreds of thousands of enemies of the state and the people are interned.

HEINZ JUNGE: "Fear was a permanent state. It was normal for the prisoners to be constantly aware that death was imminent."

NARRATOR: In the Summer of 1941 the systematic mass-extermination of the Jews begins. From deportation to arrival in the camps, the SS commands a huge machinery of willing helpers and executioners.

HERMANN LANGBEIN: "You are already one of the master race. You can profit by it. You yourself can be a small fuehrer, at least in your own small circle. And such corruption is effective."

NARRATOR: Many SS men come from the mainstream of society, even in the camps. But they are drilled to overcome every moral inhibition and turned into murderers.

ARTUR BRAUNER: "For me, the SS is the most terrible word, the most frightening entity and, when it comes to people, the most horrific fiends in the world. To me, the SS is no different from an executioner, standing behind you with an axe, ready at any moment to chop off your head."

NARRATOR: Supporting the front were the mobile killing squads. Their mission: to eliminate civilians, mainly Jews.

MÜNCH: "They said, you perform the hardest service any soldier has to carry out. Namely, exterminating the Jews. The Jews are our misfortune and you can say: we were there, we got through it, we were courageous, we did all that."

NARRATOR: The SS becomes a synonym for the systematic annihilation of people.

BENJAMIN FERENCZ: "I had been a liberator of many concentration camps as a soldier in the American army. I had seen the product of mass murder in Buchenwald, in Ebensee, in Mannhausen. I certainly was shocked by that experience. I was traumatized by that experience, which has not left me to this day."

NARRATOR: Masses of people made compliant to murder. The SS led many into dark places.

# data[].attributes.body
- able to earn enough money to support themselves and their family
- able to command other people around (compared to the Jews, which are the minority in Germany, the SS and SA were seen to be in power during Hitler’s rise to power)
- did not have to live in fear in Germany, for there is no one after them
- stable jobs; they would continue to have this job for a long period of time until Hitler was no longer in rule

# data[].attributes.body
Positive

-They were under Hitlers command

-They were given wages and benefits

-They were the ones in charge of the camps and Jews

-They did not have to live under fear

-They were protected and supported with good living conditions

# data[].attributes.body
- being a SS/SA isn’t a job people can choose to become, hence it wasn’t a job everyone liked and enjoyed doing
- had to do gruesome jobs like killing Jews, exterminating the Jewish population etc.
- seen as cruel, evil and inhumane people to civilians and Jews, even though they may not likely be like that if not for their jobs
- like everyone else, the SA/SS is not extremely safe and would not be killed, because if Hitler finds out any of his supporters have been secretly plotting something else behind his back, he would not hesitate to kill time as well (night of a thousand knives)

# data[].attributes.body
As a SA member:

positives:

get a job because the SA soldiers are recruited from former soldiers who had been demobilised after the first world war

they gained power and control over communists and any opposition

negatives:

had to be loyal and be prepared to suffer injuries or even death

might be killed in the event that they betray Hitler, not entirely safe

# data[].attributes.body
able to support themselves

stable job

In public, Hitler said women were “equal but different from men”, but he actually thought women were inferior.

He believed women’s lives should revolve around Children, the Kitchen, and in Church.

The Nazis expected women to stay at home, look after the family and produce children in order to secure the future of their Aryan race.

(-ve) Women were treated very strictly, and were mostly only allowed to work in homes. Strict measures and laws were put in place to prevent women from working

Their diets and appearances were also regulated and limited by the Nazi, like not being allowed to stay slim or go on diet as it was said that slimmer women had trouble giving birth

(+ve) They were given more freedom than men, and had more attention. Lots of women were pleased with the Nazis’ stricter rules in society - they had disapproved of the moral decline of the 1920s. They enjoyed the leisure activities, such as evening classes, outings to theatres and sports events, run by the Strength Through Joy (KdF) movement.

Overall, there were changes to the lives of women, but their status in society was not significantly changed.

hitler saw christianity as a threat as it might be a potential source of opposition to nazism as christianity emphasised peace which went against the nazis values and conduct.

(+)

due to hitler being forced to return control of the church to old protestant leadership, he did not interefere with the catholic christian church activities so long as the church would stay out of politics

hitler did not have as much control over their religious activities and did not treat them worse

(-)

the nazis supressed catholic schools and youth organisations

german children were being taight nazi curriculum which did not include christianity

four hundred catholic priests were sent to dachau concentration camp
