Adolf Hitler Have you ever wondered what Hitler did during his lifetime? Hitler is known to many as the worst human imaginable. He started the deadliest conflict in human history. He is known for this today and was shaped by his childhood, his goal in life, his reason to start WW2, his hatred for the Jews, and the camps he put them into. Hitler’s childhood was like any normal childhood. When Hitler’s father retired from his job at the State Customs Service. As a child Adolf Hitler mostly lived and loved Linz. He loved it that much he remained living there his whole life and also wished to be laid to rest there. Even though Hitler didn’t like his father, he stayed loyal to his mother. Later on died in 1907. When he was done with school, he …show more content…
Hitler’s hatred for Jews was a result of The Treaty of Versailles (treaty that ended World War 1) which drove Germany into poverty, famine, and lack ability to defend themselves and make commerce. He put the blame on the Jews due to their economic status. He felt that the German people were brought into this horrible situation due to the influence they had. He manipulated people to hate the Jews (Green). “Adolf Hitler believed the greatest enemy of all to be the Jew, who was for Hitler the incarnation of evil. There is debate among Historians as to when anti-Semitism became Hitler’s deepest and strongest conviction. As early as 1919 he wrote “Rational anti-Semitism must lead to systematic legal opposition. Its final objective must be the removal of the Jews altogether” (Knapp). In Mein Kampf, he described the Jews as “destroyer of culture…, a parasite within the nation… [and] a menace” …show more content…
“When the Jews were kept apart in the ghetto, and limited to certain professions, it was impossible to accuse them of clannishness, and resent the interest they charged on loans. But when they emerged from the ghetto, and became captains of industry and finance, and socially and intellectually prominent, there was a whole new set of reasons to have them” (Green.) In the beginning of 1933 was when the SS had controlled a connection of concentration camps in order to hold the Jews and to kill them, but before he just kept them in the camps, but when war broke out is when they started to exterminate them not only would they would hold the Jews, but other enemies of “The Nazi Regime” (History.com Staff.). All in all, Hitler did a lot of evil things not on purpose but did this because of a lot of reasons in the past. For that is why he is known from events in his life. Works Cited

Hitler’s hatred of the Jewish race stems from the German defeat in the first World War. He blames them for a “stab in the back” even though 100,000 Jews had served from Germany and Austria and 12,000 were killed. Right after he and his family moved to the city of Czestochowa, the German military came in and put placards up that ordered all Jewish males between the ages of 15 to 80 to report
At the end of WWI in 1918, Germany’s economy was in ruins. There were very few jobs, and bitterness began to take over the country. According to the text, “Hitler, a rising politician, offered Germany a scapegoat: Jewish people. Hitler said that Jewish people were to blame for Germany’s problems. He believed that Jews did not deserve to live.” (7) This was the birth of Antisemitism--prejudice against Jewish people. Europe’s Jewish people have always been persecuted due to their “different customs and beliefs that many viewed with suspicion.”(7) Hitler simply reignited the flames, and a violent hatred was born.
By blaming the Jews for the economic crisis that Germany was suffering through as well as their defeat in WW1, Hitler targeted the Jews as the country’s main enemy. According to him, the Jewish were directly responsible for Germany’s problems. Hitler hated the Jews leading up to the Holocaust because he believed that the Jewish financiers were responsible for sending the world into its first World War, causing the deaths over 100,000 Germans. According to the Nazis the “Aryan race” was the best and strongest race. Jews were of another inferior race. In fact so inferior that they were not considered to be “people” by the
The view Adolf Hitler had on the Jewish peoples was that everything was their faults and he hated them. Before Hitler became a Dictator he was a soldier just like everyone else in World War 1 and when the German Empire lost he was in disbelief and just couldn’t believe it. Many nationalist and conservatives believed that Germany had not lost the war on the battlefield but due to betrayal from within, by a ‘stab in the back’. Socialists, communists and particularly Jews were blamed, even though more than 100,000 German and Austrian Jews had served in the war and 12,000 had been killed.
Hitler was conceived on April 20, 1889 in Braunau am Inn, Austria. Six years after his introduction to the world, his dad, Alois Hitler, resigned and moved to Linth, Austria. Adolf was doing truly well in primary school, yet not in secondary school. His irascible and oppressive father was irate about how poor Adolf was doing in school. His dad dependably hit him. Hitler needed to turn into a craftsman however because of his execution in school, his dad needed him to turn into a common hireling. At the point when his dad passed on in 1903, Hitler had the capacity persuade his mother to drop out and turn into a craftsman. His mom claimed some property and Hitler didn 't need to work. He spent his days staring off into space, perusing, and drawing pictures.
When discussing The Holocaust, our minds tend to jump straight to the genocide of the Jewish populations of Europe. This is because of the approximate 11 million people killed during The Holocaust; roughly 6 million of them were Jews. Many people are now left to wonder why Hitler and the Nazi Party specifically targeted the Jews for genocide. The main reason was because the Nazi Party took the idea of nationalism to an extreme, new level. Hitler also thought the Jews were responsible for Germany losing World War 1. Hitler may have been influenced during his childhood on the ideas of anti-Semitism. According to A Teacher’s Guide to the Holocaust, the opposition and discrimination of Jews is known as
The Jews refused to fight in the war. As a result, Hitler blamed them for the losses of World War II. Hitler saw the Jews as a threat, so he killed them and destroyed their property(Doc G). Hitler was the leader of Germany and he was admired by the Germans for showing pride which they did not have. However, he also killed the Jews because he believed they were to blame for Germany’s
Hitler was obsessed with the racial superiority he believed the German peoples had over all other inferior peoples. He wanted to rule the world, but in order to carry out his solution, he needed to convince the German people to listen to him. Perhaps Hitler would never have been able to do what he did had World War I never occurred. As Resnick said in his book, The Holocaust; After World War I, Germany was trying to rebuild and recover…Both the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression severely afflicted Germany. "In many respects, these terrible conditions made Hitler's rise to power possible." (Resnick p. 15) People in desperate situations will listen to anyone offering a way out. Hitler offered not only a way out of Germany's turmoil, but also someone to blame for it; he pointed at the Jews.
Hitler went on a rampage to eradicate the Jews from Germany for one reason: his strong, irrational belief that the Jews were the poison scum of the world. First of all, Hitler saw the Jewish race as despicable enemies, partly because anti-semitism was on the rise even before Hitler’s regime, and it affected his beliefs. As Berenbaum for Britannica puts it, “Anti-Semitism was promulgated in France by the
Hitler’s hatred existed for the Jews because he blamed them for Germany's downfall in World War I and later economic sufferings (historyplace). He believed the Jews were a waste of space and were simply on the Earth to manipulate whatever they could. “The Jews, according to Hitler, were the racial opposite, and were actively engaged in an international conspiracy to keep this master race from assuming its rightful position as rulers of the world.” (historyplace). In Hitler’s mind, there could only be one race to rule and anyone outside of his circle was a threat therefore no one was safe.
Hatred of the Jews is known as anti-Semitism. Hitler believed that Jewish people where the reason for the Germans loss of World War II. Nazis thought that Jewish people where ‘Subhuman’ He believed that the Aryan race was supreme and that the must rule Germany and all its colonies.
Adolf Hitler grew up to become one of the most feared and influential men in the history of Germany. Somewhere along his early life, something must have happened that caused young Hitler to grow a hatred for the jews.
Hitler had shown unwillingness to tolerate the Jews and once he was appointed Chancellor, he started to take elimination measures like deportation, forced emigration, and isolation to enforce his belief. He took advantage of Germany’s weakness in World War One, then used it as an opportunity to blame the Jews for Germany’s defeat. Hitler’s political party was the largest political party in Germany thus allowing them to draw very large crowds to gatherings. He had very good oratory speeches with hand gestures that easily manipulated people to adhere to his views. Hitler constantly targeted the Jews because he knew people believed in these speeches. People in Germany were already anti-semitic but Hitler made it worse by constantly consuming them in his speeches. From the way he spoke about the Jews, we could clearly see the possibility of genocide. Hitler wanted Germany to be free of any humans that anyone other than his ideal master race so he personally selected bodyguards to be part of a group called the SS. Hitler was responsible for ordering the SS to carry out the extermination of anyone who did not fit this ideal. The SS handled oppositions using force and as a result of which people were forced to give into the idea of violence. Sometimes people purposely went along with this Holocaust ideal due to the fear of getting killed. These terrors allowed the holocaust occur
Hitler had an insane hatred for the Jews. He felt that the whining Jewish population was what prevented the country of Germany to rising to its former glory. Before coming into power, Hitler wrote a book explaining his hatred and why others should hate as well. The book was not very popular at the time but would later be held as the nazi “bible”.
“Hitler provided numerous rationales during that period of WW II as to why he believed that the Jews were worthy of hate. “According to Answers.com. So the main thing is that Hitler did a lot of wrong things so he thought the other Germans would hate him so he had to blame it on someone so he blamed it on the Jews,and then he convinced all of the Germans that they were nasty filth so he created concentration camps.Adolf Hitler was also familiar about Northern European blond-haired, blue-eyed peoples as being Aryan,they were just like Jews. So there was two different people he hated and blamed stuff one so it was the Jews and the Aryan. According to History on the Net.A lot of people that came back feared for their lives because they did not
