Option 2 Austin
The Nazis have many reasons behind killing all of the Jews they killed. The nazis thought they were doing the right thing in killing all of these people. Many German people were persuaded that Jews were the reason of their economic crisis. Nazis even blamed Jesus' death on Jews. It's said that Hitler hated Jews because of a early lifetime experience. Hitler's main reason of killing them was to make the perfect race. They called it Aryan and Jews were looked at as non-Aryan, so they killed them off so they could have this perfect race. This race was non-Jewish, and caucasains with German or Nordic ancestry. Hitler and the Nazis thought that they were doing good killing off all the Jews. The Jews were not thought to be normal people. They were looked as not even people at all, like a different kind of being. Not human, different than everyone else. Thats why it was so easy for the Nazis to kill so many of them, because they felt like they weren't killing people. They felt they were killing a different race, different species. This "species" was bad for Europe, for Germany.

I agree with Altman the Nazis did think they were doing the right thing. That is what they were told to do and so they did. Killing someone who is "unimportant" to the world is easy and you would think you are doing a good deed. that is was they thought.
You say "looked at" a bunch of times. And it's pretty repetitive. I agree with when you talked about how the Germans blamed the Jews for the economic crisis, but i never knew they blamed them for Jesus's death. Interesting
I think they knew they were doing wrong. That is part of the reason they enjoyed killing the Jews so much. It felt good to kill of a race that did not mean anything to them. Rebelling against the world and doing something unacceptable makes doing the act much more pleasurable. Yes, they blamed the Jews for a lot of their problems, but they knew what they were doing would get them into history while killing all of the Jews.
i think that the germans were so set on coming up with there perfect race that they didnt know if they were doing right or not. They just couldn't wait to see all the power the could have when they became the top race.
