Just Like They Did

A swastika was found spray-painted on a Jewish professor’s office door at Teachers College at Columbia University. This was the second time in less than a month that one of the college’s professors has fallen victim to hate crimes. Elizabeth Midlarsky, a clinical psychologist has been doing studies on the Holocaust, and she says it was actually the third time in recent weeks that she had been the targeted. On October 17, she found an anti-Semitic flier in her mailbox at work. Then on October 24 she found two more copies of the same flier in her mailbox. She said she reported those incidents to the school officials. “I see this as an attack of extreme hate and extreme cowardice by someone trying to make a point,” Dr. Midlarsky said. The police had yet to find a suspect. On Oct. 10, a noose was found on the office door of Madonna G. Constantine, a black professor at the college. Another similar incident occurred to a Brooklyn principal who also received a noose along with a racially charged letter in the mail.

Nazism or National Socialism, refers primarily to the totalitarian ideology and practices of the Nazi Party which was lead by Adolf Hitler. It also refers to the policies adopted by the government of Germany from 1933 to 1945, a period in German history known as Nazi Germany. On January 5, 1919, the party was founded as the German Workers' Party by Anton Drexler along with six other members. Hitler was sent to investigate the party by German intelligence and was invited to join after impressing them with his speaking ability after getting into an argument with party members. Hitler later accepted the invitation and joined the party as the fifty-fifth member in September 1919, he soon became the propaganda boss. July 29, 1921 Hitler became the party leader. This group is known for leading the Holocaust, the systamatic killings of milions of Jews.Amongst killing the Jews, they tourtured and killed any non-whites, catholics, homosexuals, handicapped, and many other groups who did not fit into the aryan race. Their sighn of hatred was the swastica, a sign which is still used to spread hatred and horror today. Even today, many continue to believe and promote the original ideas of this group, hating killing and torturing those who are different, just like they did.
