Have you ever wondered how the Nazis controlled the Jewish populations of Europe so they could murder them during the Holocaust? After reading different stories like Maus, a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman, Shores Beyond Shores by Irene Butter, one can see how the Nazis massacred 6 million Jews during World War II. Three strategies that helped them do this were Law, Redistribution, and Lies. One method that was successful was Law. In the text, Shores Beyond Shores, the author stated, “He liked he said who were true Germans. He said they were better than all other people, and if they stayed pure—didn’t mix with other peoples—they would take over the world someday” (Paragraph 1.) This demonstrates that Hitler firmly believed that the Germans and Nazis were far superior to anybody else. He thinks the Jews aren’t pure German. The text also states, “Opa had worked his whole life building a bank and was not forced to turn it over to someone who was not Jewish. My Pappi also worked in that bank” (Paragraph 2.)

The graphic novel always shows “The Nazis only allowed a certain amount of property and money out of Germany, which was the real reason why we had to cut way back. The text also says, “Imagine having to leave behind all you had earned and saved…for people who hated you” (Paragraphs 1 and 2.) This quote shows that the Germans forced Jewish people to give out their property to all Germans. Even if the Jewish protest, they will still force

Hitler and his followers blamed the Jewish for many things that had gone wrong during World War 1 and the germans believed that the Jewish needed to be punished for that. Nazi’ started forcing the Jewish out of their houses, stealing their valuables, transporting them in overpacked transport cars, relocating them to concentration camps, and it is at those concentration camps where they were starved, beaten, and destroyed. Before all of these actions were able to happened Hitler’s SS officers had to be trained to repress the Jewish and it is from that point of view that you should “read” my documents. In Elie Wiesel’s book “Night” we were told that the reason that the Jewish did not fight back was because they could not believe that human beings could do such things and that is why I chose to write my documents from the view of a SS officer who is completing his training and learning how to treat the Jewish.
