Policies Against the Jews

Hitler was now in control of Europe with the start of World War II. Hitlers discrimination against the Jews was now turning into downright control of the Jewish population as well as the rest of Europe. It started with the Nazi invasion of Poland. The radical, mean programme of ethnic cleaning that followed was authorized by Hitler himself (Kershaw 518). From there, he and Nazi leaders began to dream up saucy ideas of how to approach the Jewish Question. The Nazi party had already attempted to pursue the Madagascar curriculum, which would deport wholly German Jews to the island of Madagascar, however this failed.Now Hitler had his eyes on the east the Soviet summation to be exact. He was now thinking about something else, not exactly more friendly (Kershaw 594). Hitler was hinting at the takeover of the Soviet Union which was an inevitable event, and using this as a dumping ground for the Jews (Kershaw 594). Hitlers idea of what to do with the Jews was in no way a clear-cu t vision. The recent invasion of Poland was an option for Hitler in the by and by months. For some time, there was uncertainty with what to do with the Jewish people and how they would complete their curriculum of ethnic cleansing (Kershaw 521).In his Reichstag speech in October in 1940, Hitler also mentions the ethnic resettlement as preparation for the new order of ethnographical relations in former Poland (Kershaw 521). Poland would later be used as a place for Hitler to transport the Jews into concentration camps. Franz Rademacher, the new head of the Foreign Ministrys Jewish Desk had begun to devise options for solutions to the Jewish Problem in the summer of 1940. He provided 3 options that included deporting the Jews to Western Europe, removing them from Europe entirely, or send them all to Palestine.Complications would make it so that none of these options would work. Great Britain would have to be secured in order for the Madagascar plan to work and using Palestine was an unfavorable choice for the Nazis (Kershaw 578). In the meantime, Hitler was dealing with the British and Germanys relations with the Soviet Union. The Germans and Soviet Union were now at a disagreement. This did not sit well with Hitler and he could see their relations with the Soviets slowly deteriorating (Kershaw584).Read also examine the Ways in Which British Imperial PoliciesThe increasingly hostile relations between the two countries were fine-looking way for Hitlers justification of Operation Barbarossa. Hitlers plan to evacuate and eradicate the Jews started with Operation Barbarossa. This plan was to take over the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in order to have a place to remove the Jews to. Hitler was unsure of how well Operation Barbarossa was going to be executed. Outwardly confident, he was at bottom less certain (Kershaw 589). However unsure he was, this was going to be the plan to solve the Jewish Question. The Nazi policies involving the Jewish people took a lo ok at of time to last-placely complete. There were a lot of different options that Hitler and Nazi officials had discussed when attempting to find a solution to the Jewish Question, but ultimately, the final end lie within the fate of Operation Barbarossa. It would be the success in the invasion of the Soviet Union that would determine the success of the relocation of the Jews in Europe. War was the only option that Hitler and the Nazi officials deemed reasonable for their final decision. Thus, Operation Barbarossa commenced.
