Nazi Jewish Ghettos

Nazi Jewish Ghettos

[MEK Note: When you read about the Nazi created ghettos primarily for Jewish people during the early years of WWII, you can’t help noticing the similarities of Zionist Israel’s treatment of Palestinians today and during past decades.  Gaza is called the largest open-air prison (ghetto) and the West Bank has been divided into many isolated policed Palestinian communities via an extensive massive wall system.]  

Jewish ghettos established by Nazi Germany – Wikipedia    The Nazis had a special hatred of Polish and other eastern Jews. Nazi ideology depicted Jews, Slavs and Roma as inferior race Untermenschen (“subhumans”) who threatened the purity of Germany’s Aryan Herrenrasse (“master race”) and viewed these people and also political opponents of the Nazi party as parasitic vermin or diseases that endangered the overall health of the Volksgemeinschaft, the German racial community. German doctors and public health officials helped advance these racist fearmongering ideas. The German invasion of Poland (Sept. 1, 1939) and the formation of Jewish ghettos caused hunger and poverty, crowding and unsanitary conditions, which in turn actually created typhus epidemics in occupied Poland. German physicians and public health officials in the Nazi regime did not acknowledge this; instead, German medical professionals published essays blaming Jewish people’s supposed “low cultural level” and “uncleanliness” for the typhoid epidemics. Posters depicting Jews as lice, which transmit from person to person the bacteria that causes epidemic typhus, were publicized, and the respected status of German doctors helped spread the belief that the Jews were responsible for spreading typhus.    The German public health officials in occupied Poland were concerned only with the health of German personnel, so they repeatedly urged occupation authorities to isolate Jews further from the rest of the population.    German forces regarded the establishment of ghettos as temporary measures, in order to allow higher level Nazis in Berlin to decide how to execute their goal of eradicating Jews from Europe.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_ghettos_established_by_Nazi_Germany

GHETTOS   During the Holocaust, the creation of ghettos was a key step in the Nazi process of brutally separating, persecuting, and ultimately destroying Europe’s Jews. Jews were forced to move into the ghettos, where living conditions were miserable. Ghettos were often enclosed districts that isolated Jews from the non-Jewish population and from other Jewish communities.   https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/index.php/content/en/article/ghettos  

List of Jewish ghettos in Europe during World War II – Wikipedia     During World War II the Nazis created Jewish ghettos for the purpose of isolating, exploiting and finally eradicating Jewish population (and sometimes Romani people) on territories they controlled. Most of the ghettos were set up by the Third Reich in the course of World War II. In total, according to United States Holocaust Memorial Museum archives, “The Germans established at least 1,000 ghettos in German-occupied and annexed Poland and the Soviet Union alone.” Therefore, the examples are intended only to illustrate their scope across Eastern and Western Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_ghettos_in_Europe_during_World_War_II

Nazi Germany and the Establishment of Ghettos   The creation of ghettos during World War II was a key part of Nazi plans to brutally persecute, separate, and eventually liquidate Europe’s Jewish population.   https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/nazi-germany-and-establishment-ghettos

ADL – Anti-Defamation League

Updated 2024-04-01

2024-03-06 Watch: Protesters Lay Some Truth on Jared Kushner During ADL Speech    Donald Trump’s son-in-law was reminded of his own fascist history while accepting an award from the Anti-Defamation League.   As Kushner was accepting his award for his “vital and deeply impactful work on the Abraham Accords,” he was jeered and heckled by protesters in the audience, who attacked his record and also called for a cease-fire in Israel’s war on Gaza.    

The Anti-Defamation League has been criticized in recent years for ignoring the threat of white nationalism and instead focusing on anti-Zionist activist groups like Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace, even admitting that it considers that activism as antisemitism.   https://newrepublic.com/post/179616/jared-kushner-protesters-adl-speech
