The Holocaust

edit

The wikipedia entry on the Holocaust currently (4/8/2021) says that the Holocaust started in 1941. However, all of these sources say the Holocaust started in 1933. I put these in the talk section of the Holocaust wikipedia page, but the editors seem to ignore these sources.


  • This page for the Army War College page says "Between 1933 and 1945, the Nazi Party, led by Adolf Hitler, carried out the systematic persecution and murder of Europe’s Jews. This genocide is now known as the Holocaust." https://www.armywarcollege.edu/news/article/1762
  • This Holocaust historical overview page from the government of Israel says "To say that the Holocaust of European Jewry (1933-1945)" ... https://www.knesset.gov.il/shoah/eng/ehashoah.htm It does say that 1941 was when "Systematic genocide of the Jewish people became official Nazi policy"
  • This book review on "Debates on the Holocaust", in reviewing three scholarly books, says " All three also identify the relevant period as 1933–45, that is, they identify the entire period of the Nazi regime with its destructive anti-Jewish policies, not limiting ‘the Holocaust’ to the comprehensive murder campaign of the Jews since 1941." https://reviews.history.ac.uk/review/1160



Here is my proposed revision of the section "Definition". First, I present the proposed revision. Then I list the sources, just author names, books or articles. Last, I list extended descriptions of the sources and authors, showing where they describe the years of the Holocaust.

REVISION

Holocaust historians commonly define the Holocaust as the genocide of the European Jews, along with millions of non-Jews, by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, and 1945. Victims of the Holocaust era include those the Nazis viewed as inherently inferior (chiefly Slavs, the Roma, and the disabled), and those targeted because of their beliefs or behavior (such as Jehovah's Witnesses, communists, and homosexuals).[34] Peter Hayes writes that the persecution of these groups was less consistent than that of the Jews; for example, the Nazis' treatment of the Slavs consisted of "enslavement and gradual attrition", while some Slavs were favored (Hayes lists Bulgarians, Croats, Slovaks and some Ukrainians).[23] Against this, Hitler regarded the Jews as what Dan Stone calls "a Gegenrasse: a 'counter-race' ... not really human at all".[d]

Michael Gray, a specialist in Holocaust education,[29] offers three definitions of the Holocaust: (a) "the persecution and murder of Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945", which includes Kristallnacht in 1938; (b) "the systematic mass murder of the Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators between 1941 and 1945", which recognizes the German policy shift in 1941 toward extermination; and (c) "the persecution and murder of various groups by the Nazi regime and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945", which fails to recognize that the European Jews were targeted for annihilation. NOTE that 2 of these three definitions have the Holocaust as 1933-1945.

Helen Pitt

edit

Helen Pitt is an Australian journalist working in the Sydney Morning Herald and an award winning author.[26]

Pitt began her career in journalism in 1986. Pitt also worked as a reporter in the Franch based TV channel Euronews. Pitt's book The House[27] won the 2018 Walkley Book Award.[28] The House has also received numerous critical responses. [29][30] Ross Fitzgerald writes a review for The Australian, "In the writer’s capable hands this adds up to a very Scandinavian, yet antipodean, story of Shakespearean dimensions."[31]


Pitt conducted a master class about book length journalism for the Walkley[32] and has been a guest speaker numerous times about the book.[33][34][35][36][37]

One of the people Pitt interviewed for the book was Joseph, or Joe Bertony, the man who made the mathematical calculations which made the Sydney Opera House sails possible.[38][39]

Pitt also was a guest on Women of Influence[40] and a moderator on a panel about ethics and journalism[41] and a participant on another panel on the ethics of journalism[42] at the Byron Bay Writers Festival.
