Eichmann did his part during the Holocaust by going to different locations in order to massacre them. “Eichmann played his central role in the deportation of over 1.5 million Jews from all over Europe killing centers and killings cities in occupied Poland and in parts of the occupied Soviet Union” (“Adolf Eichmann” ushmm.org.) This quotation from Eichmann’s biography explains what he did to the Jews while serving as a Nazi soldier. He went to the extent of hunting them in different locations like wild animals. Eichmann was aware of his wrong doings, yet he still pursued with all of the Jews’ execution. Therefore, he is nonetheless a

Adolf Hitler, the famous Germany dictator and leader of National Socialist German Workers Party, commonly referred to as the Nazi Party, lived between April 20, 1889 and April 30, 1945; almost exactly fifty-six years. For the first thirty years of his life, he was an obscure failure; becoming a local celebrity almost overnight before becoming a man around whom the whole world policy revolved when he became Germany’s Chancellor in 1933 before turning his rule into a total dictatorship. Adolf Hitler was responsible for the outbreak of the Second World War and the Holocaust that resulted in the killing of 6 million Jews. He was born in Braun au am Inn, a

Adolf Hitler who's ethnocentrism and prejudice towards anyone or thing that was not of the superior German race had to be destroyed in the name of Nazism [totalitarianism]. After the war Adolf Eichmann, who was found guilty of having played a major role in ordering the deaths of millions of Jews, following a decade of persecution. Imprisonment, and genocide, such as those who had survived "The

When Adolf Hitler first came to power in pre-WWII Germany, all of Germany was ready for a new Fuhrer to lead them into success and overcome the recent depression. Among his supporters was Adolf Eichmann, who began as just another German citizen, but transformed into something even he could not have imagined. “On trial are his deeds, not the sufferings of the Jews, not the German people or mankind, not even anti-Semitism and racism” (Arendt 5). Eichmann was tried for crimes against humanity, but before deciding for oneself whether he was guilty of this charge, we must question whether he was acting out of service to his country or out of his own self-interest. After reading deeper into the results and proceedings of the trial, it is only logical for one to conclude that although he may have joined forces with the Nazi party as a patriot, his motives for continuing to assist in carrying out genocide on an unimaginable scale was largely self-interest.

Even though Germany was left in a period of struggle and economic weakness after WW1, Adolf Hitler would take a stand by creating a party that would help refine the structure of the economy. This party, when abbreviated, was called Nazi, would also create harsh laws and unrelentless punishment. Due to the Nazi party’s quick growth, there was an immediate impact on lifestyle and politics for the people of Germany. The long term impact brought forth by the consequences or legacy of the Nazi party included a population decrease and an increase in deaths. To make both of these impacts, Hitler had to overcome many hard challenges.

Adolf Eichmann joined the Nazi party in 1932 and he was passing a lot of his ranks of Nazi SS obersturmbamfuher real fast (biography.com). Adolf Eichmann was a solider for Adolf Hitler, he was a general and lead his army into the Jews territory (U.S Holocaust Memorial Museum). In December 1939 he was transferred to Amt I to deal with all of the Jews affairs and evacuation for the next six years (Holocaust, Crimes, Hero's, and Villains).

This book, Nazi Hunter, is mainly about the struggle that 5 special people went through to find Adolf Eichmann, a bad man who relentlessly slaughtered millions of Jews, and bring him to trial. After the holocaust, Eichmann went into hiding because he knew he was being hunted. From there, he moved to Argentina, where he stayed a while. While there, he was discovered by a fifteen-year-old girl who happened to be dating his son. This spikes some interest in a case that had previously been forgotten. After doing a little spying around, the girl and her father, a blind Argentine, gather vital information, or so they thought, but turned out to be inconclusive. A while later, about a year and a half, a group of Israeli spies spot Eichmann. This sighting

When one thinks of the most evil and powerful person through history, one often thinks of Adolf Hitler. However, most of the feats accomplished by Hitler would have been impossible without the help of his lesser known right-hand man, Heinrich Himmler. Deemed “the second most powerful man in Germany during World War II” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum), he helped Hitler carry out his brutal genocide of the Jewish religion. Heinrich Himmler played an extremely important role in the Holocaust.

Studying Eichmann's relationships with Jews previous to his involvement in the Final Solution become counterintuitive when looking for any sign of hatred he embodied toward the Jewish culture. "It is obvious there is no case of insane hatred of Jews, of fanatical anti-Semitism or indoctrination of any kind" (26). Furthermore, he was related to Jews, as his mother had Jewish relatives.

On April 20, 1889, a demon was brought into this world. His name was Adolf Hitler. He was born in the family quarters of the Pommer Inn in Braunau, a small city on the Austrian border. The child was unhealthy and his mother, Klara, worried that young Adolf would not survive. Klara provided much love and attention to her baby, which Adolf would later take advantage of to get what he wanted (Smith 50). Despite his self-centeredness, Adolf held a deep bond with his mother which united them throughout his childhood. On the other hand, Alois, Adolf’s father, failed to play an important role in Adolf’s development. Alois spent the majority of his time away from the customs station with his friends

Adolf Hitler’s military tactics, poor leadership skills, and actions caused him to lose World War II. Hitler’s objective was to gain world power. He was willing to risk everything for Germany to become the most powerful country. According to Richard Overy, a British historian, “If the German people are not prepared to engage in its own survival, so be it: then it must disappear!” (538). Hitler was also willing to sacrifice Germany to attain world control and victory during World War II. The idea of losing WWII never came across Hitler’s mind because he was confident that Germany would become victorious during the war.

I conducted some research to help understand more about Eichmann’s background during the Holocaust. Eichmann coordinated the deportation of Jews from Germany and elsewhere throughout Europe. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, he made deportation details and worked with other German agencies to determine how the property of the deported Jews would be seized. Eichmann wanted to collect as many assets from the Jews he could. Adolf also deported thousands of Gypsies.
