How do we know the Kristallnacht was planned?

This document shows Kistallnatcht was an event that was planned. There were set rules of what was not to happen and what was to happen. It was written the previous day and the rules enforced and written in the document for that event were mostly followed through.

The document also had stated that the priority was to get as many Jews arrested as possible. This is clear that It was planned due to the details given and the orders that directly state that Germans would be protected and if there was a possibility that buildings of the Germans and property in general was to be damaged then the most care is to be paid to those parts and under all circumstances the protection of the Germans is essential.

DNA extraction - science

 In science recently we have been focused on DNA and genes. One of our earlier activities around DNA was making the structure out of paper. If it was done right it would look like a spiral ladder if not done right it would look like a average ladder. Later on we extracted DNA from a kiwi fruit. you can extract DNA from a range of fruits with home appliances. Like salt, dish soap or instead of using dish soap it could be hand wash or shampoo all work well if done right.

To extract DNA form the kiwi fruit we separated the fruit form the skin and put the fruit in a zip lock bag. We fulled a about a half cup of water with salt and dish soap to create a solution the would be combined with the smashed kiwi fruit. Once the solution is added to the bag we made sure the bag we closed and carefully mixed it without making to many bubbles, that breaks up cells to extract the DNA. Then the mixture is put through a coffee filter about half a test tube if fulled with the mixture and rubbing alcohol is added enough to double the amount and a snot like substance is created which is the DNA from the kiwi fruit. We got a thin stick and picked some of it out.

How do we know that Kristallnacht was planned?

Since taking power in 1933, the Nazis had taken increasingly unfair actions against the German Jews. In the 1935 Nuremberg laws, Jews were deprived of German citizenship and marriages between Jews and “Aryan '' Germans were prohibited. Initially, many Jews lost their jobs in the public service. German Jews also lost the right to vote. In 1938 “Kristallnact '' resulted in large-scale rioting against Jews. Many Jews died in these riots. Hundreds of synagogues were burned and thousands of Jews were arrested and placed in concentration camps. As a result of these events, the future for German Jews looked frightening.

Hitlers view on the Jews

This is a short post about anti-semitism from Adolf Hitler to the Jews that he had wrote about in his book Mein Kampf (My struggle). In his book he shows much hate for the Jews.

"The Jews were responsible for bringing "Negroes" into the Rhineland". 

The word usage shows hate for those with dark skin and the Jews.


“The Jews hate the white race".

This was an assumption Adolf Hitler made out of hate for the Jews.

Nuremburg laws - Social Studies

THE NUREMBERG LAWS
At their annual party rally held in Nuremberg in September 1935, the Nazi leaders announced new laws based on many of the racial theories common in Nazi beliefs. These "Nuremberg Laws" excluded German Jews from Reich citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of "German or German-related blood." Additional regulations to these laws deprived them of most political rights. Jews were disenfranchised (that is, they had no right to vote) and could not hold public office. 
The Nuremberg Laws did not identify a "Jew" as someone with particular religious beliefs. Instead, the first amendment to the Nuremberg Laws defined anyone who had three or four Jewish grandparents as a Jew, regardless of whether that individual recognized himself or herself as a Jew or belonged to the Jewish religious community. Many Germans who had not practiced Judaism (the Jewish religion) or who had not done so for years found themselves caught in the grip of Nazi terror. Even people with Jewish grandparents who had converted to Christianity could be defined as Jews. 
The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 was the start of a new wave of anti-Semitic laws that brought about immediate segregation: Jewish patients were no longer admitted to municipal hospitals in Düsseldorf, German court judges could not refer to legal commentaries or opinions written by Jewish authors, Jewish officers were expelled from the army, and Jewish university students were not allowed to sit for doctoral exams. 
Other regulations reinforced the message that Jews were outsiders in Germany; for example, in December 1935, the Reich Propaganda Ministry issued a decree forbidding Jewish soldiers to be named among the dead in World War I memorials. 

The Nuremburg laws affected the rights of German Jews by preventing them from having a Reich citizenship and were not able to have sexual relationships or get married to Germans or German related blood.    

The actions that were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany that the

Jewish patients were no longer admitted to hospitals in Dusseldorf. 


I think that the Nazis passed these laws because of how much hate they had for the Jews that was encouraged by Hitler.  


With all the races in New Zealand I think that if New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand people would be really aggravated and New Zealand would rage and there would be many protests to get rid of those laws. 


I partly think that the Nuremburg laws were racist because even though the laws were more directed to the Jews the Germans were also affected by the laws but were still treated much better than the Jews were.
