The Holocaust: Jewish "witch" huntsThe massacre of Jews during Hitler's hail was very similar to the Salem witch trials; they both used guilt, during the witch trials if someone in the city didn't like someone they could say they used witchcraft and were tortured. Just like during the Holocaust, the Jews did nothing wrong but were still blamed for events they did not commit and were punished, tortured and killed every day. The witches and the Jews could not explain each other; they were mistreated and had no rights like normal people. Furthermore, the groups were led by a power to exterminate the accused people, the council led the witch hunts in Massachusetts, and Hitler led the genocide of the Jews. Ultimately, Hitler was successful with the genocide of the harmless Jewish people in Germany, the Salem council was not as successful, the council tortured and killed many innocent people. The Jewish people were targeted, hunted, tortured and killed, just for being Jewish, Hitler took office on January 20, 1933; he believed that the German race had superiority over the Jews in Germany. The lives of the Jewish people were destroyed; they were treated inhumanely for the next 12 years: “Between 1933 and 1945, more than 11 million men, women and children were murdered in the Holocaust. Of these, about six million were Jews” (Levy). Hitler blamed many of the problems on the Jewish people, being a great orator Hitler gained Germany's support, killing millions of Jews and other people, the German people thought it was the right thing to do. “For anti-Semitic Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, an alien threat to racial purity and the German community” (History.com Staff). “The earth... in the center of the card... ...00 years away, and the Crucible was not as harsh and bloody as the Holocaust. Both witch hunts killed some people who were discriminated against because of a person's word. The modern witch hunt, the Holocaust, was terrifying for Jews, as well as other people, gypsies, homosexuals and disabled people. Witch hunts in the 1600s were not so brutal against people, but they were against anyone convicted of being a witch or committing a terrible crime. The groups of people who were hurt during these two witch hunts lost everything, nothing in the world could alleviate the pain they went through and suffered. The Jews lost 2/3 of their population in Europe, while the residents of Salem lost their loved ones and had to endure torture in their town's court, making them able to survive the end of the witch trials.
