Establishment of the Racial State

Establishment of the Racial State: Nazis wanted only a society of pure and healthy Nordic Aryans. They alone were considered as ‘desirable’, while other communities were classified as ‘undesirable’.

 Even those Germans who were seen as, impure or abnormal had no right to exist. Jews, Gypsies and Blacks living in Nazi Germany were considered as racial inferiors who threatened the biological purity of the ‘superior Aryan’ race.

Even Russians and Poles people of Poland were considered subhuman and thus, undeserving of any humanity. Germany occupied Poland and parts of Russia. The captured civilians were being forced to work as slave labour.

In Nazi Germany, Jews were the worst sufferers, Jews had been stereotyped as killers of Christ and usurers. Until medieval times, they had been barred from owning land. Their •main occupations were trade and money lending. Jews lived in separately marked areas called ghettos.

Hitler’s hatred of Jews was based on pseudo scientific theories of race, which could be satisfied only through their total elimination. From 1933 to 1938, the Nazis terrorised, pauperised and segregated the Jews. From l939-l945, they aimed to kill them in gas chambers of Poland.
