Interwar Period
The struggle for equality in the Interwar Period greatly affected the lives of the Jews and Chinese because there was extreme discrimination. The Jews were discriminated based on the idea that they killed Jesus Christ and Hitler enforced that idea. "The Jews, by their own guilt, are condemned to everlasting servitude because they crucified (killed) the Lord Jesus Christ. By the effect of this very action, they have become as slaves rejected by God,". Another example on how the Jews were discriminated was how they were forced to live off in the ghetto "Living in Poland were two million Jews. Jewish people of Poland were herded into ghettos, which were walled off parts of the city in which the people could be more easily controlled. Life in the ghettos was miserable, and full of poverty and starvation. These ghettos were a key part of Hitler’s planned annihilation of the Jews.".
The Chinese were discriminated by the fact that the Japanese took advantage of them, the Chinese, by raping women and killing thousands .“The Japanese military committed bloody atrocities against the residents of Nanjing and prisoners of war, killing them in extremely cruel methods including mass execution, burning, burying alive, beheading, and biting by dogs.”. This shows how merciless the Japanese were and how they did not care about anyone. This is also from the fact that they followed their leader like, the Germans followed Hitler. One on really had their own thought and were mostly followers and if the Japanese were not influenced to believe that it was okay to kill or the Jews to think it was okay they would not have killed. |
