Jews in World War II

1 939 September1day, World War II was officially ignited in the European battlefield. Subsequently, the Nazi persecution of Jews also entered a new stage, and its cruelty was outrageous.

After Germany's lightning occupation of Poland, it took Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France as its own, and the Jews in these countries naturally lived under the ravages of fascism. All institutions of the German Defence Force, the Nazi Party and the German government took concerted action to persecute Jews. The German embassy abroad has a special envoy who is responsible for dealing with Jewish issues in the host country. Not only that, the Nazis racked their brains and started all propaganda machines to incite local soldiers and civilians against the Jews.

The besieged Jews are no longer free. They are forbidden to go out and must wear the Jewish star. They suffered a fatal blow to the economy and unimaginable mental torture. They live in isolated areas that are excluded from the whole social life and are forced to participate in slave labor. Jews in western European countries occupied by Germany were not escorted to eastern Europe.

In Poland, Jews were robbed and slaughtered after the German invasion, synagogues were destroyed and Jews were sentenced to collective fines. Soon, all the Jews in Poland were driven into Jewish settlements and lived a miserable life. Hunger is also a serious threat to them, and infectious diseases are also prevalent in extremely crowded Jewish areas. Recently, Jews exported from the Jewish quarter may die at any time at the gunpoint of German and Polish soldiers. ...

The expulsion of Greek Jews is one of the most barbaric acts of fascism. After a ten-day journey, the expelled Jews arrived at the concentration camp exhausted, but what was waiting for them was slave-like labor and wanton slaughter. According to information disclosure, hundreds of Jews in Rhode Island were forcibly stuffed into several wrecked ships and then sank into the choppy Aegean Sea. It's outrageous.

Five months after the Nazis adopted the "final solution to the Jewish problem", Hitler tore up the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty and attacked the Soviet Union on a large scale. At the same time, the persecution of Jews has entered a more cruel and crazy period.

The SS wiped out the Jews in the area he occupied like a demon. Jews were driven to a place, immediately shot, and then thrown into a mass grave with many bones buried. Distribute extermination orders that incite local residents to exterminate Jews everywhere. Thousands of Jews were called to a remote place and executed by killing machines. Many unknown Jews were driven to another world before they knew what was going on, and sometimes the whole area became a rare huge cemetery. Europe is full of unjust prisons and ghosts, the earth is red with blood, and the bones of Jewish ghosts are exposed everywhere. It is outrageous that German fascists not only want to kill them, but also kill Jewish children. A large number of children were transported to concentration camps in batches. In the process of being sent to the concentration camp,/kloc-children over 0/4 years old have been treated as adults. Sometimes when these innocent, weak and poor children come home from school or Children's Home held by Jewish settlements, they only see strange faces at home, and their parents have been killed; When they were transported to the concentration camp, they were as timid as mice and as obedient as sheep, which made even the strongest people cry. However, this did not touch the crazy Nazis.

The essence of the Jewish nation in Europe was lost in this catastrophe, and those who survived Hitler's death camp always carried the horror and trauma of the Holocaust. One critic said: European Jews are a nation suffering from torture, plunder, slaughter and division. It should be said that this is reasonable.

According to postwar statistics, as of 1945, there were only 70,000 Jews left in Poland, 35,000 Jews left in the Netherlands, 250,000 Jews left in Romania, 40,000 Jews left in Germany and Austria, and only16,000 Jews left in Greece. 245,000 Jews in Belarus and 6,543,807,000 Jews in Russia also became victims of Nazi extermination, while only 6,543,804 Jews remained in Czechoslovakia. ...

Six million Jews in Europe became the ghost of Hitler's massacre, including 6,543.8+0,000 children. At that time, one third of the Jews in the world became victims of Nazi racist theories.

When Jews were ravaged by the Nazis, some Jews took part in the anti-fascist movement with the ideal of fighting for liberation and rebirth, which took various forms. But one thing is different from the general resistance movement, that is, Jews fight under more difficult conditions-without any direct support, and in some countries, without the support of local residents. Jews in individual countries face two enemies-German Nazis and local residents. It should be said that Jews have made unremitting efforts to safeguard their national spirit and wealth: they supported each other in Jewish settlements, even if this support was minimal, published newspapers in Jewish settlements and concentration camps shrouded in the shadow of death, tried to preserve Torah scrolls recovered from the ruins of destroyed synagogues, and hidden Jews made fake documents for other uncensored Jews. Everything that could save the Jews was used as much as possible by them.

The most famous Warsaw Uprising is a shining example of Jewish anger against fascism. 1943, when the Germans tried to wipe out the Warsaw ghetto completely, they met the desperate resistance of the secretly armed Jewish combat team. The fighting was fierce, and the Jews repelled the Germans twice. Later, due to the disparity between the enemy and the enemy, the Jews were in a bad situation. Under the threat of German artillery, tanks and flame throwers, the Jewish combat team turned to desperate street fighting. In order to drive away the hidden Jews, the Germans set fire to houses, threw smoke cans into bunkers, blew up sewers and underground air-raid shelters, and finally declared the failure of the Jewish uprising with the bombing of synagogues. Thousands of Jews gave their precious lives in this 28-day battle. According to the battle results reported by the head of the German siege forces, the total number of Jews killed and captured reached 56,065, but the specific number of Jews burned and killed could not be counted.

The Warsaw Uprising showed that although Jews who took part in the fighting at that time clearly knew that their resistance could not win, let alone save the Jewish nation that suffered from serious disasters, their resistance and unyielding national spirit added infinite strength to them. In order to safeguard the dignity and honor of the Jewish nation, they fought to the end and wrote an epic chapter.
