Adolf Hitler And The Holocaust

Many religious conflicts are built from prejudice. However, only few will have a lasting effect on the world’s history. In Germany in the year 1933, a man named Adolf Hitler rose to power. His mission would be to “exterminate” all minorities, but most importantly, the Jews. "Holocaust" is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire". But as we now know in history, the Holocaust was the genocide of six million Jews by Hitler and the Nazi regime. Over the time of Hitler's reign, the Jewish population would be stripped of their rights, dignity, and most preciously their lives.

Germany’s fate was changed on April 20, 1889, the day I, Adolf Hitler was born to German official, Alois and my dear, Klara Hitler. Little did they know of what a miracle that had blessed them that day. My destiny was decided for me every time my father lectured me about the abhor Jews, taking up our German property, and beat me for the childish mistakes I made. I realized my destiny was to punish the faults in our once perfect nation. My father’s strict upper hand was not the only contribution to my great plan. At the age of sixteen, I left my home to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. I enrolled myself into the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts. The vile Jews in charge of the school denied me acceptance into the school. I spent

Dzungar, Holodomor, Rwandan, Cambodians, Armenians, Circassian, Ottoman Greek, and the Jewish. All too many genocides. When will it stop? When will we learn? When will we stop forgetting about the past and when will the history books end the patterns of war and death? When? The survivors share their stories, but do we listen? Elie Wiesel was a fifteen year old boy with the a life ahead of him, when his religion, following Judaism, made him a target in Adolf Hitler's extermination plans. He was only a boy. He had done nothing wrong, absolutely nothing, yet his life had been ended before it began. From Auschwitz to Birkenau to Buna to Gleiwitz and Gleiwitz to Buchenwald. Wiesel endured separation and starvation, to survive the brutality of the Jewish Holocaust that left millions of others dead. Individuals with lives, with hopes, with dreams, suffering with no end, and losing everything upon survival. Adults, children, elderly, everyone one of them innocent. As individuals living without these threats we cannot empathize for the horror stories we hear, since we have no personal connection, we can only sympathize for them. With no personal connection to the events, it is sure that we will forget Wiesel, but why do we forget? Because humans are imperfect beings? How do we stop erring and forget the mistakes that have preceded us? Humans struggle to understand that the mistakes of one individual do not define those similar to them. If human can attempt to

insane to torture the human race that way. Others praise him for attempting to exterminate

Throughout history, many things have happened, such as the Holocaust, that included people who will blindly obey to orders given to them that ended many lives. Events where people have blindly obeyed orders, such as mass killings of innocent people or groups, were called genocides. The people leading genocides were trying to destroy a certain race or ethnic group by either killing them or dehumanizing them, they treated the people very poorly and made the targeted people feel like animals. One of the biggest genocide in history was the Holocaust which targeted Jews, disabled people, homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, etc. The leader of the Holocaust was Adolf Hitler, who had the Germans kill more than six million Jews and others that were not considered the perfect German, which was described as blue eyed, blond hair, and tall. People will follow orders blindly because they wanted to feel powerful or superior, the events were related to an individual's religion or beliefs, individuals wished to appear as obedient.

The Holocaust was one of the most despicable acts of crime committed in history. It was the slaughtering of six million Jews along with other minority groups. Anti-semitism was on the rise in Germany due to one man, Adolf Hitler. The Nazi leader is known to be one of the most infamous dictators that were able to rise to power. Leading Germany, Hitler improved the economy, started World War II with the idea of Lebensraum, and exterminated Jews due to youth anti-semitic influences.

A horrid event known as The Holocaust took place in 20th century Germany. It all began when Adolph Hitler was appointed as chancellor of Germany on January 30th, 1933. Soon after, Hitler gained a numerous amount of followers and rapidly developed his Nazi Germany. Led by visions of racial purity and spatial expansion, the Nazis mainly targeted Jews. In addition, Nazis also targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses and disabled people along with anyone who resisted them. This tragic event lasted a total of 12 years.

The word that describes the Holocaust the best is power. During this terrible time period, Hitler and the Nazis took control and the Jews didn’t have a say in anything. One way the Nazis had all the power was by the persuading speeches they gave. They lied and told different groups of people what they wanted to hear. To some, they explained how the Jews were the reason Germany lost the war. To others, they blamed the bad economy on Jews. By turning so many people against Jews, the Nazis slowly began to take over and have too much power.

The holocaust was a genocide of approximately 6 million Jewish people throughout Germany and German occupied territories. It was committed by the Nazi party of Germany and took place from 1941 to 1945. Many people have been blamed for the atrocities that took place but there a handful of people who were able to orchestrate this systematic mass murder.

The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were “racially superior” and that Jews, were “inferior” and were a “threat” to the German Racial community: this was the idea behind the Holocaust, meaning “sacrifice by fire”. The Jewish population of Europe stood at over nine million in 1933, most of these Jews lived in countries that the Nazis would soon occupy. By 1945, the Germans and collaborators killed two out of every three European Jews as part of the “Final Solution”.

The Holocaust started when a small group of people in Germany, who were known as the Nazis, believed that some people shouldn’t live. The Nazis were anti-Semitic which means that they did not like the Jews. The Nazi party was a small group but it grew larger as more and more people followed and believed the idea that the Nazis had about certain people. The Nazis became powerful because of their famous leader, Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazis and he believed that “...Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and the disabled - were inferior and didn’t deserve to live.”(Zullo and Bovsun 1) The Nazis and their leader, Adolf Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany’s economic problems. Hitler became very popular because he was the leader of the Nazis, and soon he became the dictator of Germany. Hitler’s main goal was to “Take control of all Europe.”(Zullo and Bovsun 1)The Jews had to move to certain camps and most of the time, they would get separated from their families and get killed by the Nazis. Six million Jews died because of the Nazis and “This horrific mass murder is called the Holocaust.”(Zullo and Bovsun 3) After the war, the survivors became concerned about telling their stories because not everyone believed it but then they remember people dying in camps and they would say ”You must live, survive. You must write it down, record it, tell it.

Adolf Hitler was a German leader and his government was Nazism. (Skog 4) Hitler believed that Jews were the enemy, and would beat and kill them in the streets. (4) He was a cruel leader, and killed millions of Jews. (4) Some of the Germans still hated the Jews. (Skog 12) Some Germans felt real sorry about the Jews dying. (12) The camps were for either killing Jews or imprisoning, and then killing them afterward. (4) Jews had to dress up in stripes, and if they didn’t they would be severely punished(12)

It is estimated that about 50 million people died in World War 2, with 6 million of them being Jewish. Adolf Hitler lead the main attack on Europe behind Germany. Hitler started a political party known as the Nazis, which set out to get revenge for the setbacks the Germans experienced after World War 1. Hitler targeted Jewish people because he thought they were inferior and threatened the German race. Hitler used Nazi propaganda to target the German population and eventually invaded Poland in 1939. The U.S.A joined World War 2 after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S.A joined Allied forces including Britain and Soviet Union to defeat the Axis Powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan. World War 2 saw some of the most inhumane treatment

Have you ever wondered whose idea it was to exterminate all the Jews, or who started the concentration camps? Heinrich Himmler, was the main one contributors of the Holocaust, he used ideas such as racism and fanatical beliefs to justify the murder of millions of victims. Himmler was considered one of the most feared Nazi’s Himmler was the head of S.S, (Hitler's Personal Guard), Leader of the Gestapo (The Secret State Police), and was the founder and officer in charge of the Nazi concentration camps. Himmler had most decisions and responsibility for deciding whether people were deemed unworthy for living under the Nazi cause.
