He began to speak.
He began to set forth his plan.

First, boycott all Jewish businesses.
Don’t give them hope.
Cut off all ways of revenue to them.

Second, Nuremberg laws, set legal precedent for more anti-Jew legislation.
Exclude Jews from public life.
Strip the German Jews of their citizenship
prohibit them from marriages and extramarital sex between Jews and Germans.

A progrom against all Jews.
Night of violence included the pillaging and burning of synagogues,
looting and breaking the windows of Jewish-owned businesses,
and arresting and sending about 30,000 Jews to concentration camps.

Fourth, WWll.
All hell breaks loose.
All Jews must wear a yellow Star of David.
They must be easy to target.
Ghettos are instilled.
Keep ‘em confined and in control.

Fifth, Final Solution.
Form four mobile killing groups to be called Einsatzgruppen
For town to town, Nazis march, stripping and murdering thousands of Jews,
thrown into pits and buried in mass graves.
Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.
By the end of 1942, the Einsatzgruppen
murdered nearly 1.3 million Jews.

Sixth..., Jewish Rebellion
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest ghetto revolt.
Massive deportations held in the ghetto,
emptying the ghetto of the majority of Jews there.
The Germans entered the ghetto again, but the Jews attacked.
After four days, Germans withdrew from the ghetto, upset
On the eve of Passover, Germans came to the camp to annihilate the rebellion.

But the seeds of hope were set.
