due date: 02/02/26 points 100

when we explain how something changed over time, we need to show how each step led to the next. the holocaust shows us how jewish peoples rights were taken away slowly, not all at once. each step made the next step easier for the nazis to do.

complete the paragraph to explain these connections. use the drop-down arrows to fill in the blanks.

in 1933, the nazis started with select an option jewish businesses. this step seemed less extreme than violence, so people didnt fight back as much. when jewish families lost their money and jobs, they became poor and couldnt organize to protect themselves. next came the 1935 nuremberg laws. these took away
select an option from jewish people. this was easier to do because jewish people had already lost their economic power from the business boycotts. without strong businesses or wealthy supporters, they couldnt pressure politicians to protect their rights. by 1940, jewish people were forced into select an option . the nazis couldnt have started with this step in 1933 because people would have fought back. but by 1940, jewish people had already lost their businesses, citizenship, and community support. this made them easier to control.

Explanation:

1. The first blank refers to the 1933 Nazi action targeting Jewish businesses; the standard historical term is boycotting these businesses, as this was the initial large-scale economic attack.
2. The 1935 Nuremberg Laws formally stripped Jewish people of their German citizenship and legal rights, which was enabled by their already weakened economic status.
3. By 1940, with their economic and legal rights already lost, Jewish people were forced into confined, segregated areas called ghettos, which was a gradual escalation of persecution that would not have been feasible in 1933 due to stronger potential pushback.

Answer:

1. boycotting
2. citizenship and legal rights
3. segregated ghettos
