All the laws passed before the Night of the Broken continued to increase Hitler's power and ability to persecute Jews because there was little reaction to his actions; violence and persecution increased leading to the Final Solution due to this indifference. Background As Hitler rose to power, his plan was always to "make Germany better", as he planned to do. In his eyes, making Germany better meant that we were all equal. He would not hesitate to seize the first possible opportunity to attack the Jews. He would act for every little reason possible. A German official was murdered in Paris and the Germans were angry that it was in the hands of a Jewish teenager. It gave the Germans the ability to attack the Jews (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). Many useless laws were passed that were supposed to take away the happiness of the Jewish people. For example, they had a curfew of 9pm and 5am in the summer and 8pm and 6am in the winter. Kristallnacht, or otherwise called, The Night of the Broken, was like a turning point for the Jewish people that started the Holocaust (American-Israeli cooperative venture). Hitler made many laws like the one mentioned above and continued to do so to try to get a reaction. The Rise of HitlerHitler was very manipulative before he even became dictator, and even before he was announced Chancellor of Germany. Hitler's plan from the beginning was to become the dictator of Germany, even before it was... middle of paper... until the worst. Readers can take this away, just because you believe something different than someone else, doesn't make them or you a bad or different person in any way. This argument shows that long before the advent of concentration camps, Jews were singled out and treated terribly. Studying the Holocaust is important to show people what happened so that others can learn from it and learn to accept people regardless of their religion. It must not be forgotten because the people who suffered from it must be remembered. It was a terrible moment that should never happen again. All the laws passed before the Night of the Broken continued to increase Hitler's power and ability to persecute Jews because there was little reaction to his actions; due to this indifference, violence and persecution increased until the final solution was reached.
