If one were to read Art Spiegelman's "Maus" and then research a timeline of events that took place throughout the Holocaust, one would find that there is a lot more information in the book "Maus." Many do not like to document the truths of what happened. Some like to think it never happened. America also likes to block out certain things that happened so the country would not look bad. In 1933, when Hitler became "Fuhrer" of Germany, many right were revoked from the Jews. Over a periods of time all their rights as human beings were taken from them. Some of their revoked rights were as followed: .
Jews must be in certain places at certain times.
Jews must turn in all radios to police.
Jews may not leave houses without permission from police.
Jews may no longer use public phones.
Jews were forbidden to: subscribe to newspaper, key dogs, cats, bird, etc; keep electrical equipment, typewriters, own bikes, buy meat or eggs, use public transportation; or attend school.
Jews must walk around with passports with a red "J" marked on it.
They could no longer own land or businesses, attend plays, concerts, and sporting events.
Jews had to hand over the wealth, property, and businesses, along with drivers license and car registration. .
The Jews didn't mind too much that they could not buy certain things or do certain activities, as long as no one was getting hurt or being killed. The Jewish people did not know what to expect, especially a mass murder of over 6,000,000 Jews. Hitler's plan was to exterminate the Jewish "race" from Europe. From 1933 up until 1938, the slow process of revoking rights from the Jews took place. One night in 1938, Hitler sent a message out to all police head quarters throughout Germany, stating that terrorizing the Jews would start to take place on a night and burning of all Jewish homes was allowed. That night was called Kristallnacht, which is Night of Broken Glass.
