Explain the three steps taken by Hitler to annihilate the Jews in Germany.

(i) Jews were the worst sufferers in Nazi-Germany. They survived mainly through trade and money-lending. They lived in separately marked areas called ghettos. They were often persecuted through periodic organised violence, and expulsion from the land.
(ii) From 1933 to 1938 the Nazis terrorised, pauperised and segregated the Jews, compelling them to leave the country.
(iii) From 1939-1945 the Nazis aimed to concentrating them in certain areas and eventually killing them in gas chambers in Poland.
