Analysis Of Adolf Loos's Ornament And Crime

Adolf Hitler once said, “Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, and assassination. This is the war of the future.”(Adolf Hitler Quote). Guided by these words, Hitler continued to annihilate the Jews and anyone that opposed to him or his government. As a child, he was influenced by many and belittled by many more. Hitler’s desire for prestige and dominance turned him into the most powerful and nefarious man in German history.

Two examples that I find especially thought provoking are the Danziger studio and the Goldwyn Library. Built to blend into the local surroundings, the luxury residence was given a humble, rough exterior. Davis' explains that the rough exterior of the architecture reflects the underlying social phenomenon of "repression, surveillance and exclusion"(Davis, 224) that collectively forms the "fragmented, paranoid spatiality"(Davis, 229 ) that LA embodies. Moreover, The house's "camouflage"(Davis, 229 ) exterior creates a stark contrast to its luxurious interior, which places further emphasis on the exclusion and barrier between the "opulent"(Davis, 256) interior and the "rough"(Davis, 224 ) environment. I find Davis' assessment of the Daziger studio particularly agreeable and accurate as I truly believe that an architecture, its purpose and characteristic, sheds light to not only its physical environment but also its social environment, something that might not necessarily be as apparent. On the other hand, I find Davis' assessment of the Goldwyn library rather exaggerated. Judging from photos taken, the fifteen foot security wall is not as grotesque and 'fear-imposing' as Davis puts it. Davis described the library as "baroquely fortified...menacing...bizarre"(Davis, 246) and "paranoid"(Davis, 251). Although security and 'vandal-proof'' maybe, as Davis suggested, the initial goal of the design, I do not believe that it is as exaggerated as Davis

From 1941 to 1945, Jews were systematically murdered in one of the deadliest genocides in history, which was part of a broader aggregate of acts of oppression and killings of various ethnic and political groups in Europe by the Nazi regime. Every arm of Germany 's bureaucracy was involved in the logistics and the carrying out of the genocide. Other victims of Nazi crimes included Romanians, Ethnic Poles and other Slavs, Soviet POWs, communists, homosexuals, Jehovah 's Witnesses and the mentally and physically disabled. A network of about 42,500 facilities in Germany and German-occupied territories were used to concentrate victims for slave labor, mass murder, and other human rights abuses. Over 200,000 people are estimated to have been Holocaust perpetrators. Beginning in 1941, Jews from all over the continent, as well as hundreds of thousands of European Gypsies, were transported to the Polish ghettoes. Every person designated as a Jew in German territory was marked with a yellow star making them open targets. Thousands were soon being deported to the Polish ghettoes and German-occupied cities in the USSR. Since June 1941, experiments with mass killing methods had been ongoing at the concentration camp of Auschwitz and many more. That August, 500 officials gassed 500 Soviet POWs to death with the pesticide Zyklon-B. The SS soon placed a huge order for the gas with a German pest-control firm, an ominous indicator of the coming Holocaust. Beginning in late 1941, the Germans

Not only did Hitler ingest strychnine, but he also took Eukodal, which is another name for Oxycodone, for pain (Link 1). To keep track, we now have a chronic intravenous drug user, who is addicted to opioids, and slowing poisoning himself with strychnine. The image of an all powerful Hitler is fading more and more.

From the character of Adolf Hitler in The Book Thief, “Can you see that this enemy has found its ways -- its despicable ways -- through our armor, and that clearly, I cannot stand up here alone and fight him?” (254). To analyze this quote, Hitler is talking to the crowd about a Jew, Max Vandenburg, who he has just previously lost to in a boxing match. However, he is not just talking about Max Vandenburg; he is talking about all of the Jews in the world. Hitler believes that the Jews are too powerful to fight alone and thinks the entire German society needs to band together to defeat them. However, somewhere in the midst of the German society, some are in opposition to this thought. This small group of individuals is the one who stands up

Author Wendy Lower begins her novel by explaining how she comes across the files relating to women's involvement during the holocaust. In Ukraine archives she found a list of kindergarten teachers that were involved in reeducation of German children during the Nazi reign. She began looking in other cases for the women’s trials and finds that very few holocaust survivors could name the women they saw and the women often married after the war, taking new names.

Beliefs were tested, horrific modifications occurred, and more than 6 million people died because of Hitler. The leadership of Adolf Hitler was highly notable in negative ways. He gained control of Germany, even though he wasn’t born in Germany, while destroying the Weimar Republic. The weak economy caused the government to crash. Furthermore, Hitler conquered a large portion of Europe and started the biggest war in history. Some people would say that Hitler’s leadership was not significant. They would say this because the world would be where it is at now without Hitler.

Millions of people witnessed the crimes of the Holocaust all over Europe in there every day lives. There were numerous people across Europe who willingly collaborated or were complicit in the Nazi crimes during Holocaust. What could motivate so many people to turn against other human beings and treat them as lesser? Why did others not help? There were a lot of people who did help the Jews. Everyone believes in something and has ideas of what they believe to be right or wrong. Most people will stand up for what they believe in. People tend to waver in their support of their beliefs when they come up against scrutiny by a perceived group of power or influence. There are some people who will stand up for what they believe or oppose something

Throughout history there were many plots that took place against Hitler, all of which failed to kill the Dictator of Germany. The most important assassination attempts were known as Operation Spark in 1943, and Operation Valkyrie, or known as the July 20th Plot, which took place in 1944. The importance of these assassination attempts was the people closest to Hitler, who has the realization that the country was going to be destroyed as long as Hitler was in power. However, these assassination attempts ended with Hitler sentencing the conspirers to death by the hundreds, making him more paranoid than ever and forcing him to continue with the losing war effort on the western and eastern fronts. Although the assassination attempts failed, they were able to play their part in helping the allies secure victory over the Nazi Regime. Inevitably, the only man that could end the war, and the only man that could kill Hitler, was Adolf Hitler himself.

The Euthanasia or “good death” program was Hitler and the Third Reich’s first organized mass murder. It was a plan to kill anyone who had a “life unworthy of living” as the project leaders claimed. The secret genocide plan was focused around murdering anyone who had a physical disability or was mentally ill. This was part of Hitler’s big plan to have “racial hygiene”. It is said that “The "euthanasia" program represented in many ways a rehearsal for Nazi Germany's subsequent genocidal policies”. This terrible genocide was the start to The Third Reich’s horrific actions to have the perfect race.

Hitler combined his power with a blend of legitimateness and savagery. Notwithstanding when laws were passed, this was through a blend of dangers, falsehoods and control. Major legitimate developments were the Emergency announcement of February 1933, which permitted the suspension of social equality, and most particularly the Enabling Act of 1934, which Hitler used to obliterate the exchange unions, other political gatherings and the state legislatures of Germany. Roughness was utilized as well - the vote in favor of the brought under scaring circumstances with SA men swarming inside and outside the building. Most prominently brutality was utilized to expel a dangers from inside of the gathering.The Nazis despised the Reichstag as it was seen

Leon Krier was criticised for publishing a costly monograph on Albert Speer’s architecture (1985)in which, while acknowledging the crimes of the Nazis and the man, Krier nonetheless claimed the book’s only subject and sole justification was “Classical architecture and the passion of building” (cited by Jaskot, ‘Architecture of Oppression’, 2000). Discuss this claim, the controversy and the issues (historical, philosophical and ethical and possibly others) they raise. Can architecture, Classical, Modern or otherwise, be autonomous from politics and valued independently of the circumstances of politics and history that adhere to it?

“Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, which was on Easter Sunday. Adolf was one of four children but none of the other children lived past two years of age. After Adolf was born, his mom, Klara, had two more kids who did live to be older than two. Adolf’s mom, Klara, had been traumatized by the death of her first three children, causing her to go crazy”. Klara always worried about Adolf dying. Adolf also had two half brothers and sisters from his dad Alois Hitler. Alois Hitler was never a big part of Adolf’s life and he struggled with that. Adolf had a dream of being an artist, but that did not match the government job his dad wanted him to have. People say that Hitler was a mean man because of his dad and his early life. His dad would get drunk and go crazy on his family, this is not a way to grow up, and it certainly impacted Hitler and history. “When his father died Hitler roamed the streets dreaming of his future as an artist. When Hitler was 18, he tried to enter the Academy of Fine Arts, but was rejected twice this caused him a lot of frustration.” When Hitler was 25 he was part of the military and served in World War I, this allowed him to release some of the anger and frustration. “While in the army Hitler was wounded twice, once by gas. This is said to be the reason he went a little crazy. While in the war this is when he started to hate the Jews. Hitler said, while in the war that the Jews were everywhere and he began to hate them more and more as he saw

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

“Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all.” (Hitler 137) Hitler was driven by his hunger for power, causing the death of millions of innocent people. No one could have known the dramatic effect this man would soon have on the world.
