In one view, as stated by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on Hitler’s Propaganda, Hitler wanted the people to view him as stepping in and restoring order. (3). Both Hitler and Palpatine weaseled their way into the government by taking on the facade of a healer. They incited hope in the people and that allowed them to access more and more power to exercise for funding their own personal cause. The confidence and faux kindness of the rulers caused the people to lean on them for support. Especially because going into World War 2 the German’s had just lost a war and suffered in a lack of unity. Hitler brought the people together for something and he gave them a sense of pride and tranquility. In another view, the people were just simply not bothered by his presence. In Elie Wiesel's Night, he describes the naivete of the people to Hitler as similar. In Night, Elie’s community did not see the Jew Hate as a threat. They were not hindered by the increasing dangers Hitler brought and refused to leave their home because of him. Both Hitler and Palpatine used the lack of unity in the government to hold office and gain power, swiftly. Senator Palpatine is evidence that Hitler’s nature and Nazi Regime are timeless and will continue to be …show more content…

Writer, Elie Wiesel in his metaphorical speech “The perils of Indifference” argues that the future will never know the agony of the Holocaust and they will never understand the tragedy of the horrific terror in Germany. Wiesel wants people to not let this happen but at the time many modern genocides that are occurring and people shouldn’t be focused on just the Holocaust, they should focus on making this world a better place; moreover, Wiesel expresses his thoughts about all the genocides that has happen throughout the years. He develops his message through in an horrifying event that took place 54 years ago the day “ The perils of Indifference” was published. Wiesel illustrates the indifferences of good vs evil. He develops this message
After Germany’s humiliating defeat in World War I, Germans had little faith in their government, and in the early 1930s following the stock market crash in New York, Germany was economically struggling . Millions of people were out of work due to the world wide catastrophe making it an opportune time for Hitler and the Nazis to rise into power. Hitler, who was a powerful and spellbinding speaker, attracted Germans desperate for change. He promised to make Germany a better country and promised the disenchanted, a better life. Nazis appealed especially to the youth, unemployed, and members of the lower to middle class. Hitler’s rise to power seemed instantaneous. Before the economic depression, Nazis were virtually unknown, winning less than 3 percent of the vote to the Reichstag, which was the German Parliament. However, in the 1924 elections, the Nazis won a whopping 33 percent of the votes which was more than any other party. In January of 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor, the head of German Government . The Germans were convinced that they had found a savior for the Nation. The timing of his rise made it very easy for Hitler to gain power in a democratic government because people were hopeless and wanted a fast solution to the deficit. He promised things like a stronger economy, prosperity, and anything that they desired . He focused on first getting noticed and then grew from there. He didn’t say anything but what the people wanted to hear. Getting the people of Germany to trust him was how he started to gain so much control. Unfortunately, Hitler’s charm and persuasion was not the sole reason why Hitler gained so much power in a democratic

For Hitler, the communication gap and differences within the government deterred his followers from creating a solid opposition to his power. Mommsen stated, “The movement’s energies had to become totally absorbed in internal ‘disputes over areas of competency…’” (171). Another advantage Hitler had when dealing with people was his charisma. He was “uniquely talented in being able to change the minds” of officials who started to doubt the Hitler’s wisdom. Hitler had a habit of tirelessly trying to convince nonbelievers by persuasion. His behavior had people feeling that he was determined and had a sense of purpose. Along with Goebbels as Propaganda Minister, Hitler had the “fate of the nation” in him and Germany had never seen a leader like him (165). Hitler had “come to symbolize the unity and substance of the nation” (167). When complaints arose about the party and the Nazi regime, Hitler was exempt from them and citizens thought that if he only knew what was happening, then he would change it.
The Holocaust was perhaps one of the most gruesome and horrific time period that the world has ever seen. The Holocaust was the time period when the Jews were being horrible treated and were being executed by German forces in World War Two. In several books about the dark and horrible time period, the authors used many different techniques to convey the central idea and the theme. However, the authors uses different techniques in different genres to get shoe the reader the central idea and theme. For instance, there are different techniques in historical fiction and nonfiction, but they both develop the same theme and central idea.
During the time of the holocaust, Hitler was one that had the most power during this time. In the memoir, Night, Wiesel states, “I have more faith in Hitler than anyone else. He alone has kept his promise, all his promises, to the Jews” (Wiesel 81). Hitler had made a promise to annihilate all Jews before the clock was to strike twelve. This shows that ... Hitler was a man of great power, who showed nothing more than mortality. In addition, Hitler would state his proposition of what he was planning on doing to the Jews and those taken into the concentration camp.
Throughout human history, there has been many horrible and tragic moments involving famine, death and war. In that long line of history, there is however one moment that can’t be challenged to none other and that is World War 2: The rise of Nazi power and the slaughtering of many Jews. Many Jewish people suffered during those times and not many survived. Few of the people who did survive however, managed to write about their experiences and morals they had during World War 2, sharing their ideas to the world. A survivor and author of one of these books, Elie Wiesel, inscribed many of his morals and ideas in his writing using many literary terms such as tone, mood, characterization, diction, and even dialogue to portray them as themes in his

There are many tragic events that have happened in history and one of them is The Holocaust. The book Night written by Elie Wiesel is based on him, a Holocaust survivor, and his experience in the concentration camps. There is also an article titled “Wiesel Offers Students First-Hand Account of Holocaust” by Louis Sahagun that is about Elie Wiesel speaking to students on his involvement with The Holocaust. The film Life is Beautiful is based on The Holocaust as well. It tells the story of a family in the concentration camps. The book Night, the article “Wiesel Offers Students First-Hand Account of Holocaust”, and the film Life is Beautiful share a common message of how families were affected during The Holocaust.
In this 1999 speech, Elie Wiesel tells the story of his involvement as a prisoner in World War II. When he was freed from the war, he reported that it was if he had died. He was no longer able to enjoy the things he liked before the war, and he lived in a constant state of worry that disasters such as the Holocaust would occur again (Wiesel, 1999). Wiesel, therefore, urges the audience to avoid indifference because this is the trait that leads people to be able to accept events like the Holocaust. He claims that when people believe the world’s events are not related to them, it is easier for them to rationalize their occurrence. Thus, Wiesel uses his emotion to demonstrate the problems of indifference and urges the audience to avoid experiencing this trait.

The Holocaust. This book is a must-read for many English classrooms as it is a very deep book that shows many examples of paradigm shifts, and it also shows how characteristics of people change over time. It shows the Jewish side of the holocaust and the treatment that they received from the Germans, who were less than hospitable. The story focuses on Elie Wiesel, his father, and the Jews of the camp. There were many times that they were dehumanized in the story, and they affected Elie’s mindset in ways that stayed with him long past his time in the camps.
Hitler was in many ways a great leader and his influence on the German people was immense; he used his motivational and powerful speaking abilities to gain support and popularity. Hitler knew how to appeal to people's baser instincts and made use of their fears and insecurities. He could do that,
The Holocaust revealed the extreme evil in human nature on both a grand and small scale. Hitler, a strong supporter of antisemitism, had an agenda to create a dominant Aryan race and would stop at nothing to diminish the Jewish population. This meant forcing innocent Jewish people into death and labor camps, where conditions were brutal and treatment was atrociously inhumane. Overtime, this grand scale oppression sparked anger and violence within the victims. Instead of supporting one another in times of trouble, they began to commit senseless acts of violence towards one another in response to the cruelty they faced. Survival became their highest value, at any cost. Elie Wiesel witnesses this first hand on many accounts and spends his life striving to educate the world about the horrors of the Holocaust. In his Holocaust memoir, Night, he uses the motifs: night, silence, and flames, to develop the idea that evil is part of human nature.
