Why human rights violated during the holocaust?

Answer 1

Basically all of them....

• Free Speech
• Free Press/Radio
• Free Religion (Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses...though later some Catholics were persecuted)
• Free Political Thought/Ideology
• Freedom from Random Searches/Seizures
• Free Assembly
• Freedom of a Fair, Impartial Trial
• etc.

Of course, the treatment and genocide of millions cannot be forgotten. Jews, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, Homosexuals, Peoples of African Descent, Communists, Social Democrats, Catholics, Trade Unionists, Traitors to the Third Reich and the Nazi Party, Political Prisoners, Prisoners of War, etc. Many of them, mostly encompassing the first four on that list, were mercilessly used as slave labor and then murdered in an innumerable number of ways, though mostly using poison gas, though many were worked and starved to death. The rest of that list were mostly used as slave labor, building the necessities of war for the Nazis. Most traitors to the nation were either executed immediately, or put through sham trials, where they were badgered by judges in front of all of Germany, telling them of their treachery and what terrible human beings they were (in nice terms).

Answer 2

In Nazi Germany, human rights that were violated were freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of protest, and the freedom to buy and sell certain goods. The only way to be accepted was to be a Nazi and a strong follower of Adolf Hitler.

Answer 3

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, a lot of Japanese people moved to the US from Japan. The vast majority wound up in California, where they wound up getting into the competition for farming and other low-education jobs. So a good deal of anti-Japanese animosity came about.

After the Japanese Navy attacked the US at Pearl Harbor, one of the Japanese pilots crashed on one of the Hawaiian islands and survived. He was assisted by some Japanese-Americans who lived on the island, but was eventually captured.

Some US government officials already distrusted Japanese immigrants; the incident with the Japanese pilot basically confirmed, to them, what they already knew- that Japanese were loyal to their home country first, and the US last. So the government gathered up as many Japanese people as they could, and forced them to move to "relocation camps", also known as "internment camps" across the western half of the country. The camps were to keep them from helping their former country in any way (either by methods like sabotage, or even directly helping during an invasion). By all accounts, the camps were pretty terrible and it wasn't one of the US's proudest moments.

Answer 4

There are provisions written into the law, that allows the US to suspend certain "human rights" when the US is fighting a DECLARED WAR. WW2 was such a war.

Answer 5

Human rights, as we know them did not exist during the Holocaust, it was one of the things that the United Nations established as a result of the Holocaust.
