INTRODUCTION

Race issue has been a very common monstrous problem around the world.
God has created us equally so but different, and if we observe carefully this
differences we have it is what makes the whole thing of life beautiful, but we
are caught up in our arrogance, ignorance, and our self importance.
Meanwhile we should be embracing one another and celebrating each other’s
uniqueness, because uniqueness symbolizes that where you cannot, I can
and where I cannot, you can. Because every individual, race, and nation has
their own strong points, weakness, and also contributions to this world so we
are equally important.

The human issue or racial issue is that every individual has this thought that
they are important than the other. This thought that I have more to contribute
that the other, I am more special than the other therefore I deserve more than
the other. These issues have resulted in a lot of devastating events which led
to nations losing their dignity, sense of belonging and eventually their lives.

In this research essay I will be discussing an era of pseudoscientific ideas of

race on the Jewish nation. And specifically I will be discussing the key
question of; what was the impact of pseudoscientific ideas of race on the
Jewish nation by the Nazi Germany during the period 1933 to 1946?

We will start by defining the Jewish nation, Nazi Germany and the concept of
pseudoscientific ideas of race. And then we will discuss the location where
this thing happened and how did the two nations be in that location and lastly I
will discuss the impact of pseudoscientific ideas of race on the Jewish nation
by Nazi Germany.
Background
Jewish Nation - The Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group that trace their
origins back to the ancient Israelites, who lived in the region now known as
Israel and Palestine. The Jewish people have a unique cultural and religious
identity that has evolved over thousands of years.

According to Jewish tradition, the Jewish people are descendants of the

biblical patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who are known as the fathers
of the Jewish people. The Jewish people also trace their heritage to the
ancient Israelite kingdom, which was established in the land of Israel around
1000 BCE.

The Jewish people have a rich cultural and religious heritage that includes a
distinctive language (Hebrew), literature, music, art, and cuisine. Judaism, the
religion of the Jewish people, is based on the belief in one God who revealed
himself to the Israelites through prophets such as Moses and Elijah.

Today, there are Jewish communities around the world, with the largest
populations in Israel and the United States. The Jewish people have made
significant contributions to many areas of human endeavor, including science,
art, literature, and philosophy.

Nazi German - The Nazi Germans, also known as the National Socialist
German Workers' Party (NSDAP), were a political party that rose to power in
Germany in the early 1930s. Led by Adolf Hitler, the party held power from
1933 to 1945 and implemented a regime of totalitarianism, racism, and
aggressive expansionism that led to World War II and the Holocaust.

The Nazi regime was responsible for the systematic persecution and murder
of millions of people, including Jews, Romani people, disabled individuals,
homosexuals, political dissidents, and others deemed "undesirable" by the
regime. This genocide of European Jews is known as the Holocaust, and it is
considered one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.

The Nazi regime's ideology was based on a radical form of nationalism that
called for the creation of a "pure" Aryan race, the superiority of the German
people, and the annihilation of all those deemed "inferior." The regime also
implemented policies of forced labor, mass deportations, and the
establishment of concentration and extermination camps, where millions of
people were imprisoned, tortured, and killed.

The defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II led to the Nuremberg trials, in
which many of the top leaders of the regime were brought to justice for their
war crimes and crimes against humanity. The legacy of Nazi Germany
continues to be a subject of study and reflection in modern times, serving as a
reminder of the dangers of totalitarianism, racism, and extremist ideology.

In 1933, the Nazi Party, led by Adolf Hitler, rose to power in Germany. Anti-
Semitic laws were quickly put into effect, and Jewish people in Germany
began to experience discrimination, persecution, and violence. Many Jewish
people began to leave Germany, seeking refuge in other countries. It is
important to note that the experiences of Jewish people and Nazi Germans
during this period were diverse, with individuals experiencing different levels
of persecution, resistance, and complicity depending on their individual
circumstances and location. Nonetheless, the events of this period had a
profound impact on the course of world history and continue to be studied and
remembered today.
Body of Essay
The impact of pseudoscientific ideas of race on the Jewish nation by Nazi
Germany during the period 1933 to 1946 was devastating. The Nazi regime's
use of pseudoscientific ideas about race and genetics was central to their
ideology of Aryan superiority and the inferiority of other races, including Jews.

Nazi scientists and ideologues developed a range of pseudoscientific theories

to support their racial views, including phrenology, which claimed that skull
measurements could determine intelligence and personality, and eugenics,
which aimed to "improve" the genetic stock of the Aryan race by eliminating
"undesirable" traits through forced sterilization and eventually, mass murder.

These pseudoscientific ideas were used to justify the persecution and

genocide of Jews and other "undesirable" groups. Jews were stripped of their
rights, property, and eventually their lives. They were subjected to medical
experiments, forced labour, starvation, and torture. The Holocaust, the
systematic murder of six million Jews, was the culmination of the Nazi
regime's genocidal policies.

The impact of these pseudoscientific ideas of race on the Jewish nation was
profound and tragic. Countless lives were lost, families were destroyed, and
communities were decimated. The legacy of the Holocaust is a painful
reminder of the dangers of pseudoscientific beliefs and their potential for
harm. It is a lesson that must be remembered and learned from to prevent
such atrocities from ever happening again.
The impact of pseudoscientific ideas of race on the Jewish nation by Nazi
Germany during the period 1933 to 1946 was profound and devastating. The
Nazi regime relied heavily on pseudoscientific ideas of race to justify their
persecution and eventual genocide of the Jewish people. These ideas were
based on the belief in the existence of a supposed "master race" (Aryan),
which was superior to all others, and that Jews were part of an "inferior" race
that needed to be eliminated.

One of the key ways that pseudoscientific ideas of race impacted the Jewish
nation was through the implementation of racial laws and policies. In 1935,
the Nazi government passed the Nuremberg Laws, which stripped Jews of
their citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations
with non-Jewish Germans. This was based on the idea that Jews were a
"polluting" influence on the pure Aryan race and needed to be segregated
from society.

Another way in which pseudoscientific ideas of race impacted the Jewish

nation was through the establishment of concentration camps and the
eventual genocide of six million Jews during the Holocaust. The Nazis
believed that Jews were a threat to the Aryan race and needed to be
eliminated from society. The pseudoscientific ideas of race were used to
justify the brutal treatment of Jews in concentration camps, where they were
subjected to forced labor, starvation, disease, and torture.
The impact of pseudoscientific ideas of race on the Jewish nation by Nazi
Germany during the period 1933 to 1946 was a tragic and horrific chapter in
history. The Nazis used these ideas to justify the persecution and genocide of
millions of Jews, resulting in immeasurable suffering and loss. It serves as a
stark reminder of the dangers of pseudoscientific and discriminatory ideas and
the importance of promoting equality and respect for all people.

The Nazis defined Jews by race, not religion. They claimed that Jews
belonged to a separate race. They also claimed that Jews were inferior to all
other races. The Nazi definition of Jews included people who did not practice
Judaism.

Hitler and the Nazis claimed that the “Jewish race” was especially dangerous.
It supposedly exploited and harmed other races. Thus, the Nazis referred to
Jews as a “parasitic race.” In particular, they believed that Jews were
parasites that were destroying the Aryan race. This false and prejudiced belief
was why the Nazis persecuted Jewish people. They wanted to separate Jews
and Aryan Germans. They tried to force Jews to leave Germany. The Nazis
tried to use science to prove their racial theories. They recruited doctors and
other scientists to help them. These officials tried to categorize people into
races. They measured and described people’s physical features, like noses,
skulls, eyes, and hair.

These attempts at categorization failed to prove Nazi racial theories. In fact,

their efforts revealed that human beings could not be scientifically categorized
into races. Humankind is simply too naturally diverse. However, this reality did
not stop the Nazis.
Conclusion
The Nazi experimental theories failed though they cause a lot of trauma and
disturbance. They failed because of various reasons. And one of those
reasons is in our introduction that we are all human beings, we just different
and it is this difference that makes the whole thing of life beautiful. They failed
to recognize that Jewish nation were people just like them, they are just
different to them.

Nazi people were people who lived in fear; the uniqueness of the Jewish
people intimidated them. They could not comprehend living and embracing
other races because what they lacked they considered it inhumane, or
features that they had and other nations did not they saw the other nations as
inhuman.

Reflections
Doing this research essay I have learned that because of misunderstandings
nations can be destroyed and trauma can be caused. Through hate of
something different to us a nation can be destroyed. I have learned that God
has created us differently for a reason, so that we may help one another,
where I am weak another will assist me, where a nation is weak another
nation will come in and assist. No man is an island and no race is an island.
No nation is superior that the other, we have different traits, we have different
personalities, and we have different patterns of behaviours.

Doing this Research essay I have learned to type, I have learned to do a

research essay, I have learned about other races and I have also learned to
appreciate life and the times we live in. After seeing people having to go
through what the Jewish people went through it is challenging.
