Preface
90 years ago, World War II broke out, leaving behind a bloody and destructive European countries. Even if it is mentioned today, it is still scary.
When it comes to World War II , some people will think of the Battle of Okinawa, which lasted for several months, with tens of thousands of casualties; some people will think of the Normandy landing , which had more than 500,000 casualties on both sides; some people will think of the decisive Battle of Stalingrad ...
These are the most tragic classic battles during World War II, and it is not surprising that they can be remembered by the world.
But for me, when it comes to World War II, the first thing I think of is not a certain battle, but the " Jewish Holocaust " which is not inferior to any battle.

is not so much a "bold punishment" but rather a " ethnic cleansing activity ". 6 million Jewish were tragically killed, and everyone was shocked.
So, how miserable were the Jews during World War II? Why did the German army "hate them to the core"?
1. Why hate Jews
I believe this is something that many readers and friends don’t know. Why did the German army hate Jews so much during World War II and even wanted to “extinguish” them.
First of all, we need to correct a wrong understanding for everyone. It is not that Germany hates Jews, but that the whole of Europe hates Jews. It is just that during World War II, Hitler treated Jews too extreme, which made people mistakenly believe that only the German army hated Jews.
. If you want to explain why the Qing Jews are not favored, there are actually the following reasons.
1, Religious belief
As we all know, Jews have always believed in Jewish , and in their world, they will think that Judaism is the best religion in the world.
Moreover, Judaism is not just a religious belief for Jews, but more like a subtle way of life.
However, Judaism can only be said to be a religion belonging to the Jewish people. There are actually not many people who believe in it. However, Christianity and Islam , which were derived from Judaism, have developed into the two religions with the largest number of believers in the world.
In addition, Jews who believe in Judaism always believe that " Savior has not yet arrived in ", and refuse to admit that Jesus is the Savior. This makes the Jews stand opposite to many Europeans who believe in Christianity.
and Judas was crucified because of money, which further exacerbated the hatred of the Jews by Christians.
This is an important reason why Jews have been discriminated against and persecuted by the Christian world for more than two thousand years.
When the Jewish country The Roman Empire was destroyed, these Jews started a life of exile for more than 2,000 years and have been scattered all over the world.

2, economic monopoly
Jews have very smart and capable minds, especially in the business industry.
You might as well imagine, if a foreign nation had long mastered the economy of your country, what would you think of such a nation?
For example, after World War I , Germany directly declared "bankruptcy", while the Jews were all rich and made a fortune in Germany.
In the subsequent economic difficulties, Jews still stocked up everywhere, thus earning a lot of wealth, which made many people dissatisfied with the Jews.
When World War II broke out, the Jews had already mastered the economic "lifeline" of Germany and even the entire Europe, thus indirectly threatening Hitler's actions.
Moreover, the Jews would rather waste or even destroy a large amount of materials than use them far to fund local residents. This made the majority of residents, including Hitler, feel extremely dissatisfied, and the hatred between them began to deepen.
In addition, you may not know that the initiator of the Opium War was a group of Jews.
The Jewish Sassoon family was the largest drug trafficking group at that time. According to data, more than 97% of the opium that was flooded in coastal cities in China that year were controlled by this group of people.
It was not until on the eve of the founding of New China that these Jews who knew they had committed unforgivable sins to China chose to escape from China.
3, Exclude other races
Jews once said in " Hebrew Bible ", " Jews are God's only electorate ".
In other words, in the Jewish view, they are the most noble nation in the world, and no other nation can be redeemed by God. Such an absolute view will undoubtedly ruin the future of the Jews.
The Jews have been displaced, and such uncomfortable remarks have caused many cold eyes to the Jews who are temporarily living in other countries.
coupled with the habit of gathering life that Jews have developed for a long time will always make people feel that they are plotting something bad and keeping abreast of them.

4, revenge for grudges
Here I will talk about the grudges and hatred between Jews and China , so that everyone can feel more deeply what kind of people the Jews are.
During World War II, Hitler launched a "ethnic cleansing" plan for the Jews, and more than 6 million Jews died.
At the same time, in order to save Jews, China began to agree to accept Jewish refugees and set up a "refugee camp" in Shanghai, rescuing more than 630,000 Jews.
However, the Jews who received China's rescue began to accept the " pufferfish plan " proposed by the Japanese in an attempt to restore the country in the northeastern region of my country!
The so-called "pufferfish plan" is that the Japanese provide land to help the Jews establish a country. In exchange, the Jews provide a lot of funds to the Japanese to help the evildoers.
But in the end, under the multiple pressures of the US government and the Chinese people, the "Puffer Fish Plan" had to be declared bankrupt, and the Japanese and Jews who were trying to "make troubles" in Northeast my country also had to leave.
It is also since this incident that our country's attitude towards refugees has become a resolute " does not accept ".
Later, during the tense Sino-Indian relations, Israel, established by the Jewish nation, sold 8,000 anti-tank missiles to India. We do not know the profound meaning behind this move. The most intuitive point of
is that the Arabs in kindly took in Jews, but now they are mainly opposed by Jews, and there are very few areas in Palestine .
Such an ungrateful Jewish person would naturally not be favored by other countries, and Hitler's coming to power would give the Jews a "fatal blow".
2. Hitler's "prejudice" against Jews
In the Middle Ages, the "Black Death" was prevalent in Europe. Jews were once considered the "poisoners" of this incident. It was from this time that " anti-Semitism " began to prevail throughout Europe.
Picture丨In 1946-2000, Israel "encroached" the Palestinian territory
Adolf Hitler , the head of Nazi Germany and the initiator of World War II, once vigorously promoted "anti-Semitism" and tried to establish a new order led by Nazi Germany in Europe.
During World War II, the German army also under the leadership of Hitler, persecuted and massacred 6 million Jews, and all kinds of crimes were shocking.
In the specific historical context at that time, Hitler believed that Germany's failure in in the first battle with was entirely caused by the Jews.
In the late period of World War I, the whole of Germany was in an extremely chaotic state. German soldiers in the front were fighting bloody battles, while the Jews in the rear created unrest, reacted the government, and "make trouble" crazy.
Germany's defeat caused Hitler's spirit to be greatly hit, and his view of the Jews began to gradually deteriorate. He even once proposed that " world should be ruled by Germanic , and the Jews must be eliminated. "
And, for Hitler, who just came to power, he has always praised the slogan of "military restoration", but this is not so easy for Germany, which has experienced the failure of a war and has long been "banked"?
People need to use money to improve their lives, and the army needs to use money to improve their combat effectiveness. So where should so much money come from? At this time, Hitler once again thought of the Jews.
Through the introduction above, everyone has already understood that at this time, the Jews could almost control the economic lifeline of Europe, and the wealth in their hands could be said to be as rich as a country.
At first, in order to get the support of the Jews, Hitler suppressed his dissatisfaction and chose to negotiate with the Jews.
Hitler hoped that the Jews living in Germany could regard this place as their hometown and try their best to build it, but unfortunately, the Jews did not agree with Hitler's suggestions.
In addition, under the Jewish economic monopoly, Germany's prices remained high, seriously affecting the normal lives of the people and endangering Hitler's rule.

After defeat in World War I, so some scholars will say that the reason why Jews were massacred by the German army was mainly because they did not "know the current affairs."
and Hitler wanted to achieve the goal of uniting the entire German nation, thus developing the entire society towards "extreme populist ". In this way, "sacrificing" the Jews became an excellent method.
In this way, a "ethnic cleansing" plan from Hitler officially kicked off.
3. How miserable were Jews during World War II
Since the Nazi Party achieved dictatorship in Germany in 1933, a huge "anti-Semitic action" has begun to develop.
Since then, all Jews who held public office in Nazi Germany have been taken away, and the Nuremberg Act passed later clearly stipulates that any German who has one of his grandparents is Jewish will be defined as Jewish .
Jews gradually lost their status in Germany and began to gradually lose their status. They were forbidden to engage in most professions and were beaten from time to time. The shops or synagogues belonging to Jews will also be maliciously destroyed by people.
Later, as the situation in World War II gradually expanded, the German army led by Hitler began to massacre Jews more unscrupulously.
According to incomplete statistics, during World War II, a total of 6 million Jews were killed by Nazi ruling Germany, including 3 million men, 2 million women, and 1 million children.
When talking about how cruel the German army was to the Jews, we have to mention the infamous concentration camps. Among them, the tragic situation in Auschwitz concentration camp is even more terrifying and outrageous.
Auschwitz concentration camp is the largest of more than 1,000 concentration camps built by Nazi Germany during World War II. Here, millions of Jews were brutally killed, so this concentration camp is also called " death factory ".
Picture丨Auschwitz concentration camp
A large number of Jews captured by the German army were detained here, and striped pajamas became the standard for detained Jews. They were isolated from the German army with iron chain wire. It is no exaggeration to say that the Jews here can no longer be called "people". They are more like "lambs to be slaughtered" by the German army, living in fear all day long. The detained Jews in the concentration camp often hugged each other and cried and prayed, but no matter how many prayers you make, they could not change the fate of being murdered.
We all know that the German army's persecution of Jews was "gradual" rather than a direct massacre.
At first, the German army would send the captured male Jews to work as coolies, while the female Jews would become "venting tools" for German soldiers, and insults and abuses would follow one after another.
These female Jews who have become "plays" will not only be whipped and abused by the German army at any time, but will also be stripped naked. The exhibition is in public. Many female Jews even have a slightly concealed piece of clothing that has become a luxury.
In short, the Jews in the concentration camp have lost their human rights . They do not see any expectations for the future and may one day be shot dead by the German army on a "whim".
Later, as the battlefield situation changed, Nazi Germany began to carry out an inhumane massacre of the Jews.
During that time, the Jews would inexplicably be shot by the German army, and some Jews who were unwilling to be persecuted would choose to stand up and resist, but only cold bullets await them.
Because there are too many Jews killed, the German army does not have enough time to bury these dead Jews, or in other words, they don’t want to spend this effort at all.
and so later, the German army began to force the Jews to dig their own graves and then shot them to death. The degree of cruelty can be described as "perverted".
Picture丨Jewish children detained in concentration camps
. For most female Jews, they will not be buried after death, but are "processed" by the German army as soap. It is also reported that the shoelaces used by German soldiers at that time were all made of female Jewish hair.
The corpses of Jews are everywhere, and the air in the concentration camp is filled with a strong smell of blood.
At this time, some German officers believed that relying on German soldiers to kill Jews one by one was too inefficient, and some German soldiers were unwilling to do such things. Therefore, in the later "0,000 Lake Conference ", senior German officers formulated the final large-scale and systematic plan to massacre Jews, which is what people often call the " final solution " for Jews.
In order to realize this "massacre plan", the German army specially formed a special "massacre organization" to carefully and accurately plan the Jews to every small step.
roughly shows that the whole process is from searching, arresting, transporting , and then to the final massacre . In this way, the German soldiers will have the illusion of performing tasks, rather than carrying out slaughter, making their feelings of guilt no longer so strong.
According to long-term contact with Jews, the German army discovered some characteristics of the Jews, such as the wider nose of the Jews, the color of the Jews' eyeballs, and the "circumcision" of the Jews. These characteristics also became the key to the German army's ability to hunt down a large number of Jews later.
, and the German army will conduct preliminary screening of these Jews, sending some strong men to do coolies or conduct human experiments. For the vast majority of women, the elderly and children, they will be judged as "worthless people" and sent directly to the execution ground or " gas chamber " for massacre.
Picture丨"Gas chamber"
These Jews who were executed will be transported to concentration camps by train, where there is a "gas bath" built specifically to implement the "Massacre Plan".
related information reality. At that time, the German army built four super-large "gas baths" in the Auschwitz concentration camp. In order to achieve the purpose of quickly disposing of corpses, the "baths" were also equipped with corpse storage cellars and crematoriums.
In such a "mechanized" massacre, each "bath pool" can massacre more than 12,000 Jews at one time, and the equipped corpse crematorium can burn nearly 10,000 corpses every day.
is actually not just Jews, some prisoners of war will also be sent to concentration camps by the German army. Those who are waiting for these prisoners of war will also be killed.
Later, France was controlled by Nazi Germany. In order to "please" Germany, the French also began to join the plan to massacre Jews.
During that period, a total of more than 6.4 million Hungarian Jews were arrested by French soldiers and sent to the German concentration camp to welcome the "final trial".
Not only that, when the German army was attacked, it would also point its finger at the local Jews, believing that it was the attack launched by these people on themselves.
For example, after Nazi Germany occupied Kiev at that time, the headquarters suffered multiple attacks by Ukrainian troops, and the German army immediately used this as an excuse to eliminate the local Jews.
Then the German army began to make a big announcement, requiring nearby Jews to arrive at designated locations within the specified time to report, otherwise they would be hunted by the German army.
results can be imagined. After more than 630,000 local Jews took their families to the location specified by the German army on time, they found that what awaited them was cold bullets.
The soldiers who came to the scene in person recalled afterwards: "The massacre method of is too bloody and will cause great damage to the hearts of the soldiers. "
Picture丨The Jewish woman who performed the gun execution
It was from then on that the German army began to use poison gas and burn to deal with the Jews, which was outrageous.
In the late World War II, Nazi Germany began to retreat continuously, and the Soviet army recovered many areas occupied by the German army, including the concentration camps used by the German army to detain and massacre Jews.
Because the German army was busy running away, they were unable to destroy their own evidence of crime as soon as possible, but even if they had time, such a large number of Jewish corpses were probably not so easy to destroy.
When the Soviet army opened the gate of the concentration camp, the scene in front of everyone was shocked.
With the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, the Jews who experienced the "ethnic eradication" plan finally "escaped".
4. Why didn’t Jews resist
Although World War II has ended for many years, it has become a history that Jews are still reluctant to recall.
Some readers may still be confused about the experience of Jews. Jews are naturally intelligent, have outstanding abilities, and have a large amount of economic control. However, when facing inhuman massacre, why can't they unite and resist?
Indeed, there is an old Chinese saying, " rabbits bite people when they are anxious", let alone Jews with super intelligence. Why are they willing to be slaughtered by others? Let's find the answer together.
1. Due to personality
Since every Jewish remember, they have been discriminated against and oppressed by other nations. In the 2,000-year history of exile, Jews have gradually become accustomed to this kind of treatment.
, coupled with the Jewish religion, they believed that death is liberation, and the thousands of years of suffering they had experienced gradually led to their formation of a " obeying ".
Under the influence of this idea, the Jews began to gradually believe that no matter how big the disaster was, there would be the day when the smoke would disappear.
Picture丨The Jews captured by the German army
, and at first, the Nazis simply imprisoned and isolated the Jews and did not implement the "massacre plan", which led to them being completely isolated from the outside world, not knowing what was going on. It was not until the German army drove to the gas chamber that the Jews reacted, but it was too late.
It is also in this process that many Jews did not persist until the day when they "see the light of day again".
2. Hitler vigorously promoted "anti-Semitism"
"anti-Semitism" was Hitler's main idea as the initiator of war. As the ruler of Nazi Germany, under his hype, the massacre of Jews seemed to have become a national policy.
So later, the "Wanhu Conference" appeared and a "massacre plan" was formulated to deal with the Jews.
So it is not difficult to see that this massacre of Jews has risen to state behavior, not Hitler's personal behavior.
, plus the Nazi Germany at that time, had full combat power, and had conquered most of Europe. Some countries known as military power could not resist Germany's attack, let alone unarmed Jews. Even if they wanted to resist the German army, it would be useless.
So later some countries occupied by Germany tended to Germany's tyranny and helped it implement such a tragic "massacre plan".
Among these countries, only Swedish , Swiss , which had been occupied by the Soviet Union at that time, once extended a helping hand to the Jews, allowing a small number of Jews to escape from the clutches of the German army.
3, Secret
Although Hitler once promoted "anti-Semitism", he strictly required confidentiality for the "plan to massacre Jews" and had clearly instructed: " not to publicly massacre and execute Jews ".
The exposure of the "Massacre Plan" was mostly after World War II. So when it was kept confidential at the time, many Jews did not know what the German army wanted to do to them, and would not think of the so-called "Massacre Plan".
Picture丨The detained Jews
plus when the Jews were captured by the German army, they were simply isolated, and the German army would still give them a high degree of freedom during this period.
In such a general environment, the Jews lost the will to resist, and many Jews even simply believed in the Nazis, thinking that they would be sent to a better place to live.
and until they reacted, was too late!
Conclusion
Even though we have introduced so much to everyone, we still cannot imagine what kind of "purgatory on earth" the Jews at that time experienced.
In a sense, the Jews were just because wars needed , so they were regarded as "enemy" by Hitler.
But should the Jews bear such a heavy price?
In the capital of Israel, , Jerusalem, , there is a Jewish memorial. On the surrounding walls, there are photos of Jews, all of whom were brutally massacred.
shocking photos are the most direct proof of that history.

At this point, I can’t help but recall what kind of hatred was the crime committed in Nanjing during the Japanese war of aggression against China that would make the other party attack the unarmed civilians?
Does it take a nation to be completely destroyed so that some people can put down their butcher's knife? What is the difference between
and beasts?
readers, what unique insights do you have about these Jewish experiences? Let's discuss it in the comment section together.
