Question
In 3–5 sentences, analyze how the Germans tried to hide the Holocaust from most of the world during the war
Immigrants and other minorities also faced discrimination during the Great Depression. The downslide of the economy, in an atmosphere of racial prejudices and political disagreements, led some people to blame minorities for job loss. The same factors made it difficult for minorities to secure jobs. Asians—particularly Chinese and Japanese immigrants—had experienced job discrimination and exclusion acts for years. By 1930, about half of the Japanese people in the United States were not new immigrants, but had been born and raised in the country and were American citizens. However, these people continued to experience discrimination, and those that had jobs were among the first to be laid off when businesses downsized, or reduced the number of people employed, as a result of economic difficulty during the Depression.
Anti-Semitism, or prejudice against Jews, was another major issue of the time. The Nazi rise to power in 1933 led to the active persecution of Jews by the German government. Many fled Germany, and some sought refuge in the United States. While the American government did not actively persecute Jews, anti-Semitism still existed in this country. Some politicians and other public figures blamed the Depression on a Jewish conspiracy and promoted the myth that Jews controlled the banking system. Additionally, some anti-German sentiment still lingered from World War I.
Mexicans in particular had the additional risk of being deported. The American government actively worked to send hundreds of thousands of Mexican workers back to Mexico. In some cases the workers went voluntarily, but in others they were tricked or forced into going. Some of these people were American citizens.
Native Americans had a long history of mistreatment by the American government. However, the government at the time of the Great Depression took steps to make improvements. The Meriam Report, presented to the Department of the Interior in 1928, indicated that government policies over the years had been quite damaging to Native Americans as a whole. They had lost vast tracts of land that had rightfully been theirs, and many were left impoverished. While the problems caused by harmful government policies did not go away, Congress enacted the Indian Reorganization Act in 1934 in part to lend tribes money for purchasing land and providing education.

During the Holocaust, the Nazis implemented a series of measures to obscure the realities of their genocidal campaign from the international community. They utilized a combination of propaganda, censorship, and misinformation, portraying the concentration camps as labor camps while highlighting German economic recovery and military successes. Moreover, the regime restricted access to information by controlling media narratives and encouraging a climate of fear that discouraged dissent or whistleblowing from both citizens and military personnel. This systematic obfuscation allowed the Nazi regime to conduct its atrocities largely unchallenged until after the war, despite the growing evidence of widespread persecution circulating among some governments and organizations.
