War Crimes and the Holocaust

Question 4 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Which excerpt best supports the charge that the Nazis had committed genocide?

Answer
A
“Let there be no misunderstanding about the charge of persecuting Jews.”
B
“It is my purpose to show a plan and design . . . to annihilate all Jewish people.”
C
“It was a policy directed against other nations as well as against the Jews.”
D
“Anti-Semitism was promoted to divide and embitter the democratic peoples.”

Explanation

Genocide means the deliberate attempt to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. The excerpt stating a plan “to annihilate all Jewish people” directly describes that intent, so B best supports the charge. The other excerpts refer to persecution, policies affecting other nations, or the political use of anti-Semitism, but do not state an intent to destroy the Jewish people.
