They wanted to do it because they thought these people were inferior to them. The Nazis also pursued partial genocide against the handicapped, homosexuals, poles, soviet prisoners of war, and gypsies. (Hurvits, Par. 1). This proves that the Nazis felt as if they were better than these people and that they were of lesser value and should not be on this Earth because of their opinions. There were specific disturbing acts committed against the Jews. There was killing, physical harm, forcing them to live under horrible conditions, and many other things (“Defining the Terms: Genocide”, Par. 4). There was severe physical harm to the Jews like beating them, sending them to gas chambers, and shooting them. Not only was there physical harm, but also mental, and cultural. “Causing severe bodily harm to Jews, forcibly transferring Jewish children to another religious or national group, destroying Jewish cultural treasures or values” (“Defining the Terms: Genocide”, Par. 4). This shows that the Nazis truly were doing horrible things to try to hurt Jewish culture, and harm them
