What circumstances led to the formation of weimar republic in germany
Germany was Powerful in the earliest of 20th centuary. They fought in 1st W.W with Austria against Allied
powers……. England, France, Russia. Had a hope they can gain a quick victory. Germany gained initial gains & captured France and
Belgium. In 1917 U S entered in Allied power block they become
much strong. Germany completely defeated in the 1st W.W in 1918 The defeat of Germany & Abdiction of Monarchy gave an
opportunity to Parliamentary parties to recast their politics. A National assembly met at Weimar & they estd a
Democratic Constitution with Federal Structure. Deputies were elected to the German Parliament- Reichstag
on the base of equal and universal votes cast by all adults including womens.
Pictures of Weimar republic
What were the major Problems faced by the Weimar at its initial
stage The communists backed by the Bolshevik used
the instability of the country a stage of revolution.
It was led by Luxemburg they tried to organise a revolution.
But the army crushed the attempt. The right wing Kapp Pustch (Army wing) tried to
back the country Prussian aristocratic domination.
It failed but all the officers fled from Berlin it created a vacuum to be filled by the workers. This was followed by strikes in all cities.
Finally army suppressed all the revolution.
How the Weimar republic acquired stability
In 1923 they introduced a new currency. Its name was Rentenmark It strengthened Germany’s monetary
system. It helped them to create a political stability
in Germany.
Politically Weimar Republic was a failure- Discuss
Politically it was a fragile. The weimar constitution had some defects,
which made unstable and vulnerable to dictatorship.
Another one was proportional representation. This made achieving a majority by any one
party a near impossible task, leading a rule of coalitions.
Article 48 which gave the president the powers to impose emergency, suspend civil rights.
They failed to manage this situations. The peoples they have lost their confidence in
the Democratic system.
International Military Tribunal Nuremberg
It was formed after the 2nd W.W. Its duty was to prosecute Nazi war
criminals. Also to prosecute the crimes against Peace
& crimes against Humanity. They sentenced only eleven leading Nazi
leaders to death & many others were imprisoned.

November criminals
The supporters of the Weimar Republic were Socialists, Catholics and Democrats became very easy target to attack the conservative nationalist circle. They were mockingly called November criminals.
German Economy after 1st W.W
Germany fought in the war largely on loans and had to pay war reparations in gold.
This depleted gold reserves at a time recourses were scarce.
In 1923 Germany refused to pay war debt and France captured one of their leading industrial area Ruhr, claming their coal.
Germany followed a passive resistance and printed lot of paper currency.
With too much printed money caused the German market fell.
Value of market collapsed. This led to the hyper inflation in Germany.
Deplete Reparation
Reduce or empty out
Make up for a wrong done.
Causes of Economic recession in USA
Over production led to the economic depression and collapse the American Stock market.
American farmers had greatly increased their production during the war period.
But after the revolt the demand for food reduced and price fell.
The capitalists tried to increase their profit and paid low wages to the workers.
Thus goods remained unsold in America. Also not much demand in Europe due to the
collapse of Economy after the 1 W.W.
America began to speculate in the stock market with borrowed money.
As a result in October 1929 New york Stock Exchange collapsed.
Value of shares dropped. Banks, factories, mining companies and
business firms went bankrupt. There led to a large scale of poverty,
unemployment and starvation.
How the Economic crisis affected the German Economy
The economic crisis affected the German economy very harmfully.
The industrial production was reduced. Workers lost their jobs and paid low
wages. Un employment emerged in all over
Germany. It affected the peasants, womans and

NAZISM- IDEOLOGY, RULE, IMPACTS
Causes behind the Rise of Hitler The First W.W was comes to an end on
the base of the Versailles treaty. But most of its agreements were harsh
and humiliating peace. So the peoples in Germany was not
satisfied in this agreement. Politically and Economically Weimar
republic was a failure. Especially the crisis in the field of
Economy, Polity and Society formed the background the the rise of Hitler in to power.
Who was Adolf Hitler (or)Nazi party projected Hitler as a Messiah, Saviour and deliver people from distress Born in 1889 in Austria Spent his youth in poverty During the time of 1.W.W he joined the army Acted as messenger then became a corporal and earned
the medal for bravery. The defeat of Germany horrified him and Versailles
treaty made him furious. In 1919 he joined a small group- German Workers Party. Consequently he took over the charge of this
organisation and renamed as Nationalist German Workers Party
This party came to be known as Nazi party.
He was a powerful speaker & charismatic leader. His passion and words influenced the people. He promised to build a strong nation, undo the
injustice of the V.T and restore the dignity of the German people.
He promised employment, and secure future for the youth.
He promised to weed out all the foreign influences and resist all foreign conspiracies against Germany.
He devised a new style of politics. He tried to make a unity among the people. In 1923 he was arrested and imprisoned, in there he
wrote his autobiography- Mein Kamph, considered the Bible of the Nazi Party.
This influenced the people very much bcz their dignity and pride had been shattered, also they were in very misserable economic and political condition. So……..

They aimed at full production and full employment through a state-funded work-creation progreamme.
This product produced the famous German superhighways and the peoples car, volswagen.
Foreign Policy of Hitler
In Foreign policy Hitler acquired quick success. He pulled out of the League of Nation in 1933,
reoccupied Rhinland in 1936. He integrated Austria with Germany under the
slogan- One people, one Nation and one Leader. He went to wrest (capture) German speaking
Sudentenland from Checkoslovakia He earned unspoken support from England,

The Nazis Worldview Briefly explain the major ideologies of Nazism
(or) Peculiar features of Nazi thinking.
(or) Explain the idea of racialism put forward by
Hitler(or)
Role of Darwin and Spencer in the Nazi ideology(or)
The meaning of desirable and undesirable in the Nazi thinking. (or)
Why the Nazis considered the Jews and Gypsies are the enemies of Germany.
The Nazi ideology was synonymous with (H) world view. According to this no equality between the people only
the racial hierarchy. Blue-eyed Nordic German Aryans- at the top & Jews
located at the lowest rung. Jews were considered as anti race or arch enemies of
Aryans Other coloured people were placed in different place
according to their physical features. Hitler idea of racism borrowed from- the thinkers like
Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer. Darwin a natural scientist- father of evolution theory-
put forward the idea of evolution and natural selection. Spencer- Survival of the fittest. The Nazi argument was simple the strongest race will
survive and weak one would perish.
The Nazis believed that the Aryan race was the finest, it had to retain purity, become stronger and dominate the world.
Another aspect of (H) ideology was- concept of Lebensraum or living space.
He believed that new territories need for settlement. This enabled the settlers a new land to retain an intimate link with place of their origin.
The German boundaries by moving eastwards, concentrated all Germans geographically one place.
Poland became the laboratory of their experimentation.
Nazis tried to the physical elimination of undesirable in the extended empire.
They wanted only Pure and Healthy Nordic Aryans.
They alone were considered Desirable. Only the worthy and prosperous- Desirable
and others were considered Undesirable. This meant even those Germans who were
seen impure or abnormal had no right to exist.
Nazis approach- Non Jews Gypsies and Blacks in Germany considered
as racial inferiors, who threatened the biological purity of Superior Aryans race.
They were widely persecuted. Even Russian and Poles- Subhuman, and
hence undeserving of any humanity. Germany- captured Poland and parts of
Russia- and civilians were forced to work as slave labour.
Many of them died simply through hardwork and starvation.
Nazis Approach- Jews Jews faced worst sufferings from Nazis. They hatred of Jews had a precursor in the traditional
Christian hostility towards Jews. They had been stereotyped (no changing) as killers of
Christ and usurers (money lenders) Medieval times Jews were barred from owning land. They survived mainly through trade and money
lending. They lived in separately marked areas- Ghettos They were often persecuted through periodic
organized violence and expulsion from the land. Hitler hatred Jews was based on pseudoscientific
theories of race- no solution to Jewish problem It could be solved only through their total elimination.

1933-1939- Nazis terrorised, pauperised (absolute poverty) and segregated the Jews, compelling them leave the country.
1939-1945- aimed at concentrating them in certain areas and eventually killing them in gas chambers in Poland.
Nazis approach- Poles (or) Racial ideas (Utopia) of
Nazis Genocide and war became two sides of same coin. Nazis occupied Poland and divided. North western Poland was annexed to Germany. Poles were forced to leave their homes and
properties behind to be occupied by ethnic Germans brought in from occupied Europe.
Poles were then herded like cattle in the other part called the general govt, the destination of all undesirables of the empire.
Members of Polish intelligentsia were murdered in large number- for to keep the entire people intellectually and spiritually servile.
The Polish children who looked like Aryans were forcibly snatched from their mothers and examined by race experts.
If they passed the race test they were raised in German families and if not, they were deposited in orphanages were most perished.
Largest ghettos, gas chambers, general govt- served as killing field for the Jews.
Gypsy Usurers The group that were
classified as Gypsy had their own community identity. Sinti and Roma were two such communities. Many of them traced their origin in India.
Money lenders charging excessive interest; often used a term abuse.
PauperisedPersecution

Discuss(or)
This Laws helped the Nazis for the Exclusion of Jews from Germany-
Examine(or)
This Laws was the first step of Jews to the Death- Analyse
1. Only persons or German or related blood would henceforth be German citizens enjoying the protection of the German empire.
2.Marriage between Germans and Jews were forbidden.
3.Extramarital relations between Germans and Jews became a crime.
Jews were forbidden to fly the national flag.Other some legal measures Boycott of Jewish business. Expulsion from govt services. Forced selling and confiscation (take
possession as punishment) of their properties.
Steps to Death Stage 1 : Exclusion (1933-1939) Stage 2: ghettoisation (1940- 1944) Stage 3: Annihilation (1941 onwards)
Stage 1: Exclusion (1933-1939) Nuremberg Laws of citizenship Sep :1935 Other Legal measures.
Besides, Jewish properties were vandalised and looted, house attacked, Synagogues burnt and men arrested in a pogrom (organised massacre) in November 1938, remembered as the night of broken glass.
Stage :2 Ghettoisation : 1940-1944 Sep 1941, all Jews had to wear a yellow star
of David on their breasts. The identity mark was stamped on their
passport, all illegal documents and houses. They were kept in Jewish house in Germany,
and ghettos like Lodz and Warsaw in the east. These became sites of extreme misery and
poverty. Jews had to surrender all their wealth before
they entered a ghetto. Soon the ghettos were brimming with hunger,
starvation and disease due to deprivation and poor hygiene.
Stage 3 :Annihilation -1941 onwards Jews from Jewish house, concentration
camps and ghettos from different parts of Europe were brought to death factories by goods train.
In Poland and elsewhere in East, most notably Belzek, Auschwitz, Sobibor, Treblinka, Chelmno and majdanek, they were charred in gas chambers
Mass killing took place within minutes with scientific precision.
Nazism and Children
The Schooling system under Nazism in Germany(or)
Hitler thought that Nazi society could be establish only by teaching children Nazi ideology- critically examine.
(or) All schools were cleansed and purified by the
Nazis- Why?(or)
What happened in schools under Nazism? The sports activity in school under Nazi was a
spirit of violence and aggression- why?
Hitler thought that a strong Nazi society could be establish only by teaching children Nazi ideology
All schools were cleansed and purified. The teachers from Jewish community and
politically unreliable were dismissed. Children were first segregated, Germans and
Jews could not sit together or play together. The undesirable children – Jews, gypsies,
physically handicapped were thrown out of the school.
Finally 1940’s they were taken to the gas champers.
Good German children were subjected to a process of Nazi schooling, a prolonged period of ideological training.
School text books were rewritten. Racial science was introduced to justify Nazi
ideas of race. Stereotypes about Jews were popularised
even through math class. Children were taught to be loyal and
submissive, hate Jews and worship Hitler. The function of sports was to nurture a spirit
of violence and aggression among the children.
Hitler believed that boxing could make children iron hearted, strong and masculine.
All the boys – 6 to 10 went through a preliminary training of Nazi ideology, at the end they take a oath of loyalty to Hitler.
“In the presence of this blood banner which represents our Fuher I swear (promise) to devote all my energies and my strength to the saviour of our country, Adolf Hitler. I am willing and ready to give up my life for him, so help me God”

The Role of Youth in Nazis rule- Discuss
Hitler was fanatically interested in the Youth. Youth Organisations were made responsible for educating
German Youth in the spirit of Nationalism. Ten years old had to enter Jungvolk (Nazis Youth group for
children below 14 years old) At 14, had to join nazi Youth organisation Hitler Youth. Where they learnt to worship war, glorify aggression and
violence, condemn democracy, hate Jews, communists, Gypsies and all those categorised as undesirable.
After a period of rigorous ideological and physical training they joined the Labour Service. Usually at the age of 18.
Then they had to serve in the Armed Forces and enter one of the Nazi organisation.
The Youth league of Nazis formed in 1922, four years later it renamed Hitler Youth.
To unify the youth movement under Nazi control, all other youth organisation were systematically dissolved and finally banned.
Briefly describe the role of women in Nazi rule.
(or) To encourage produce more children Nazis
awarded Golden crosses to the women- Verify this statement.
(or) In my sate the mother is the important
citizen- statement made by Hitler in 1933- critically examine this statement.
(or) I have sulled the honour of the nation- it is a
punishment given to the women- analyse the circumstances.
Nazism and Womens
Nazis considered that women were radically different from men.
The fight for equal right, part of democratic struggle everywhere was wrong and it would destroy society.
Boys- be aggressive, masculine and steel hearted. Girls- become good mothers and rear poor blooded
Aryan children. Girls- maintain purity of the race, keep distance
from Jews, look after home, teach their children Nazi values, for to bear the Aryan race and culture.
1933- Hitler said “ In my state the mother is the important citizen.
But Nazi Germany all mothers were not treated equally.
Women who bore racially undesirable children were punished and those who produced racially desirable children were awarded.
They got good facilities in hospitals and concessions in shops, theatre, railway etc..
To encourage to produce many children Honour crosses were awarded.
Bronze- 4 children, Silver- 6 children, Gold- eight and more.
Aryan women who deviated from the prescribed code of conduct were severely punished.
Those who maintained contact with Jews, Poles and Russians were paraded through the town with shaved heads, blackened faces and placards hanging around their necks announcing “ I have sulled the honour of the nation”
Many received jail and sentences and lost civic honour as well as their husbands and families for this criminal offence.
Nazis language
To find out various words used by the Nazis for the communication
(or) Nazis used different labels for the
communication- draw up a list of labels(or)
Nazis used the term disinfection areas for to address Gas champers- find out some more words
The Nazis used language and media with care, and often great effect.
The terms they used to describe their various practices are not only deceptive.
They are chilling. They never used the term kill or murder in thier
official communication. Mass Killing - Special treatment, final solution
(Jews) Euthanasia (for the disabled),
selection and disinfections.
Evacuation - deporting people to gas champers. Disinfection areas - gas champers (looked like
bathrooms equipped with fake showerheads)
Media and Nazism
Nazis had properly utilised the media for the propagation of their ideas- Justify
(or) The role of media for the propagation of
Nazis world view- describe(or)
Nazis ideas spread through- visual images, film, radio, posters, catchy slogan, leaflets- prove this statement with examples.
Media was carefully used to win support for the regime and popularise its world views.
Nazis ideas spread through- visual images, film, radio, posters, catchy slogan, leaflets.
In posters- mocked, abused and described as evils to the enemies of Germany.
Socialists and liberals were represented as weak and degenerate.
They were attacked as malicious foreign agents. Propaganda films were made to create hatred for
Jews. The most infamous film was- The Eternal Jew. Orthodox Jews were stereotyped and marked. They were shown with flowing beards wearing
kaftans, however in reality it was difficult to distinguish German Jews by their outward appearance bcz highly assimilated community.
They were referred- vermin (harmful to society animals/humans), rats and pests.
Their movt compared to those of rodents (animal that gnaws).
Nazism worked on the mind of the people, tapped their emotions and turned their hatred and anger at those marked as undesirable.
The Nazis made equal efforts to appeal to all the different sections of the population.
They sought to win their support by suggesting that Nazis alone could solve all their problems.
NATIONAL SOCIALISMAPPROACH OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
HOLOCAUST
The Nazis were compelled the farmers to belong to Hitler- why?
(or) To write a short note on National
Socialism Put forward by Nazis(or)
The Nazis were against Capitalism and Marxism- why?
The Nazis warned the farmers of Germany that you are standing in between two great dangerous
One is the danger of American Economic System- Big Capitalism.
The other is the Marxist economic system of Bolshevism
The Big capitalism and Marxism work hand in hand ; they are born of Jewish thought and serve the master plan of world jewery.
So the Nazis propagated that only the National Socialism can rescue from this dangerous.
Briefly describe the approach of common people towards the Nazis
(or) The reaction of common people
towards Nazim(or)
In Germany had many organised resistance against Nazism- Discuss
Many people saw the World through the Nazi eyes and spoke their mind in Nazi language.
The felt hatred and anger those who looked like Jews.
They marked the house of Jews and reported suspicious neighbours.
They genuinely believed Nazism would bring prosperity and improve general well-being.
But not every German was not Nazi. Many organised active resistance to Nazism,
braving police repression and death. The large majority of Germans, however were
passive and apathetic witness. They were too scared to act, differ, to protest. Pastor Niemoeller- a resistance fighter and he write
about this silence……………………
First they came for the communistwell, I was not a communistSo I said Nothing.
Then they came for the socialistwell, I was not a socialist.So I said nothing
Then they came for the trade UnionistBut I was not a trade unionist
And then they came for the JewsBut I was not a Jew- so I did little
Then when they came for meThere was no one left who could stand
up for me
To write a short note on Charlotte Beradt and her book- Third Reich of Dream(or)
The Jewish people feared their dreams- Examin
She secretly recorded people’s dream in her diary and later published a book called Third Reich of Dream.
In this book she describing the Jews themselves believed Nazi stereotypes about them.
They dreamt of their hooked noses, black hair and eyes, Jewish looks and body movts.
The images publicised in the Nazi press haunted the Jews They troubled them even in their dreams. The Jews many deaths even before they reached the gas
chambers.
Holocaust The information about Nazi practices had
trickled out of Germany during the last years of the war.
Germany defeated the world war and realised the horrors of what had happened.
The Germans preoccupied with their own plight. The Jews wanted the world to remember the
atrocities and sufferings they had endured the during Nazi killing operations- called Holocaust.
The spirit to bear witness and to preserve the document can be seen in many ghettos and camp inhabitants who wrote diaries, kept note books and created archives
On the other hand when the war seemed to lost, Nazi leadership distributed petrol to its functionaries to destroy all incriminating evidences available in offices.
The history and memory of the Holocaust live on in our memoirs(short life history of a person), fictions, documentaries, poetry, memorials and museums in many parts of world today.
