Analysis Of Heinrich Himmler's 'No Liquidation'

This happened before they could be brought to stand trial for their horrific actions. Also, Herman Goring (Hitler’s designated successor and head of the German air force “Luftwaffe”), killed himself by hiding a cyanide capsule under a jar of skin medication. He killed himself the night before his execution. The main defense that was used during the trial was: the use of the London charter exposed facto law. Basically, these acts that the defense had committed had not been around at the time and therefore were not illegal at the time the act was committed. The other main defense was: that the trial was a victors’ justice. This means that the Allied powers were being harsher towards them because they had lost the war, and if it was their soldiers on trial they would be much more lenient. They come up with any defense they could as they did not show any remorse for their horrific actions to innocent, men, women, and children. Who could no longer speak for themselves Since the judges and defendants spoke 4 different languages, the instantaneous translation was introduced. This provided each judge and defendant to hear what was going on in their language as men and women would automatically translate into German, Russian, French, and

Guida Diehl was the founder and leader of the Newland Movement, which pre-dated the Nazi Party by at least six years. She came from a nationalist and anti-Semitic family, and only joined the Nazi Party in August 1930. Following the advice of Adolf Stocker, who hated Jews and supported the emancipation of unmarried women, she attended social-work school and later worked as a teacher of social work in Frankfurt. Diehl constantly preached a spiritualist, quasi-Christian, and nationalist message, that went against the postwar values of Americanism, materialism, and mammonism, which threatened to overpower Volk, God, and fatherland.

The Totalitarian Aspects of Nazi Germany The government of Nazi Germany was a fascist, totalitarian state. They ruled in Germany ever since Hitler became chancellor in 1933, to 1945. Totalitarianism was a form of government in which the state involves itself in all facts of society, including the daily life of its citizens. It penetrates and controls all aspects of public and private life, through the state's use of propaganda, terror and technology.

You can see this, in the news room. They were talking about the Jewish, were to blame and they need to be punished. Germans did not know the expectant that it was going to lead to. They thought this was a good idea, then they realised what it actually entailed, to it was late.

Heinrich Himmler was born on October 7th, 1900 in Munich to a middle-class Bavarian family. His father was Joseph Gebhard Himmler, a secondary-school teacher and principal. His mother was Anna Maria Himmler (maiden name Heyder), a devout Catholic and extremely attentive mother. Heinrich had an older brother, Gebhard Ludwig Himmler, and a younger brother, Ernst Hermann Himmler. Heinrich was named after his godparent, Prince Heinrich of Wittelsbach of the royal family of Bavaria, who was tutored by Gebhard Himmler. Educated at secondary school in Landshut, Himmler served as an officer cadet in the 11th Bavarian Regiment at the end of WW1, although he saw no active service. After working briefly as a salesman for a fertilizer manufacturing firm, Heinrich Himmler joined the Nazi party and in the November of 1923 participated in the Beer-Hall Putsch as a standard bearer at the side of Ernst Rohm. All of these roles combined together were a major reason for Heinrich Himmler being chosen for the jobs he received later in his militaristic life. It is surprising, that Heinrich Himmler, the chief of the SS and the primary architect of the Holocaust, has not attracted the attentions of more biographers. For all that he had taken part in for the history of the Third Reich, he appears to lack the “infamous charisma” of Heydrich or Hitler, and because of this lack of “infamous charisma” he has been presented only rarely as a primary subject for a book about the holocaust and the

(Otto) Adolf Eichmann was Lieutenant Colonel in the Nazi Secret Services (SS), and one of the major organizers of the Holocaust. Eichmann was in charge of relocating the jews into ghettos and extermination camps. When the Nazis began to invade the Soviet Union, Eichmann became responsible for Jewish deportation to extermination camps, where they were gassed. After Germany invaded Hungary, and transports had stopped, 437,000 of Hungary’s 725,000 Jews had been killed.

Totalitarianism is a form of government that takes total control of everything the surrounding population does on a daily basis. Under a totalitarian government, an individual citizen loses any of their preexisting beliefs, values, and morals and forcefully gets them replaced with what the government wants the population to practice and believe. The main goal of a totalitarian government is controlling the population in a given society and reinventing them into a “perfect” society. Many believe that there is one root cause as to why a government adopts totalitarian fundamentals, but this is not true. A totalitarian government is usually the result of horrific incidents that transpire and leave the society in a devastated and chaotic state.

The last anti-Jewish law established by the Nazi influenced, German government found many Jewish people guilty of crimes and were to be sent to extermination camps. As there were many steps members of the Nazi organization had to take in order to carry on with the Holocaust, this last law allowed them to not only persecute the Jewish people, but begin the process of extermination. Having the government already against Jewish people, laws became rigged and officers corrupt against Jews, making it nearly impossible for a Jewish person being trialed to get out of police custody. Once found guilty of crimes, Jewish prisoners would still have been something the Nazi organization still had to deal with, which they did not want. The Nazi organization would come up with several other stages that would not only damage, but end the lives of Jewish people in Germany. Extermination camps would have Jewish people as prisoners put to work until the day of their deaths. The weaker and less able a prisoner became, the higher his/her chance became to be killed even faster as they were no longer useful for the labor put upon them. In document 3, the memoir of Rudolf Huess, the former commander of Auschwitz who was now a prisoner on trial after World War 2 was written for the government to read as suggested by psychiatrist. In the memoir, Hoess states that he would not only command at the prison, but take order from Hitler or Hitler’s second in command. Hoess recalled having to “watch day and night, whether it was the dragging and burning of bodies, the teeth being ripped out, the cutting of hair”. As the commander, Huess had the lives of all the prisoners in his camp at his hands and did nothing but crush them one by one. Huess made the decisions about what and how things took place under his command after having

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 holocaust was an event that took place in the later 1930s and to the early 1940s. There were 121 laws the where past through the time of 1935-1939. The goal of these laws was to make life for jews in germany terrible. The nuremberg laws made jews no longer citizens of germany. on the night of broken glass 119 cina gods were burned. 7500 jewish places where damaged or stuff was stolen from them. 1500 jews were forced to emigrate out of germany. The germans took a some jews and dumped them off at the polish border and left there in the middle of nowhere in 1941. There were people who were ordered to go kill jews. The word holocaust means in greek sacrifice by fire in the holocaust 6 million jews were killed during

Hitler and the Gestapo are both responsible for the lives lost in the Holocaust. They are similar and different with their role in the genocide. Hitler frightened the world and brought the idea of anti-semitism to a whole new level; creating groups to capture the Jews. The Gestapo listened to Hitler as they captured the Jewish people and sent them off to Concentration Camps while they watched over the ghettos. Although Hitler was the leader of the Holocaust, he would not be that if the Gestapo did not listen. Ultimately, the party most responsible would be the Gestapo.

During World War 2 the National Socialist German Workers ' Party, or Nazi, leader came into power and spread his ideology: his name was Adolf Hitler. At the time, there were so many people that praised him and what he stood for. On the other hand, the majority of the world saw the cruel things that he did to the Jewish people. Those people refer to his as "insane" because of the fact that he had no remorse for the actions that he was doing. He saw only one type of German people and he would not accept anything else. During and after Hilters reign psychologists, doctors, researchers, and others tried to figure out his mindset. They tried to justify how someone could be so cruel to people of his country when the people had done nothing wrong to him. The psychopathology of Adolf Hitler has sparked the interest of various amounts of people. His mental, physical, and emotional illnesses are contributing factors that drove him to be so inhumane.

Hitler’s “Aryan” Race – Hitler wanted an “ideal race” and wanted Germany to be only people who were Aryan-like. He did not want any Jews or foreigners. “Hitler’s Aryan Race” was his idea of what a race should be. Hitler wanted all of the genes that were not wanted to be killed, because he did not want those genes to mess up his “perfect race” (USHMM).

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.

Shortly after the end of WWII, British Intelligence officer Hugh Trevor-Roper was given the task to establish the facts of Hitler's end, and thereby to prevent the growth of a myth. His report, later published as “The Last Days of Hitler”, draws on Allied intelligence's interrogations of survivors who spent time in the bunker during the last ten days of Hitler's life. Trevor-Roper organizes his book chronologically, but it's more a series of character sketches than a strict time line of events. We see a raving, physically broken, nearly insane Hitler contemplating both his heroic death and the complete and
