Heinous Actions In Adolf Hitler And The Nazi Party

Since a majority of Germans supported Hitler, they did not contradict how the Nazi party treated the Jews. At first, the Nazis took away smaller rights from the

<br>The Holocaust is the most horrifying crime against humanity of all times. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population.He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." One of his main methods of "doing away" with these "undesirables" was through the use of concentration camps. "In January 1941, in a meeting with his top officials, the 'final solution' was decided". The Jewish population was to be eliminated. In this paper I will discuss concentration camps with a detailed description of the worst one prior to World War II, Buchenwald.

Adolf Hitler born April 20, 1889, was just a mere citizen until Germany faced world humiliation post World War I. After World War I Germans faced harsh economic depression during which in turn caused people to lose trust in their government. Hitler being an intelligent man took advantage of this opportunity to promote himself and gain power. The Treaty of Versailles, established after WWI, led Germany to their lowest in world standings. The treaty humiliated Germany as they lost their land, respect, military, and say in world affairs. Germany is at an all-time low needed a savior and that is where in January of 1993 Hitler stepped in. Hitler used this depression and used fear as a tool to persuade Germans that he could boost the economy and bring Germany back to power. He promised the Germans hope, glory, and supreme power.

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.

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

The Holocaust is one of the darkest times in human history. Millions of innocent people were killed for no reason. Although talking about the Holocaust is never a fun subject to discuss, it is crucial in preventing future genocides. Up to 6 million Jews were put to death, which was ⅔ of the Jewish population in Europe. Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany, aided by collaborators, killed those 6 million Jews between 1941-1945. Other groups were targeted by the Nazis like homosexuals, Soviet prisoners of war, political opponents, the “incurably sick”, Roma, and Jehovah Witnesses. In this paper I will be talking about death marches, Hitler’s mentality, and Nazi human experimentation.

The result of the November pogroms was that many Jews looked to emigrate from Germany to a safer, less racial prejudicial country. Jews now believed that they either had to emigrate or face certain death. As Jews attempted to immigrate to other countries, this sparked a world controversy of what to do about Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany. Many countries still refused to accept substantial number of Jews , which led to a world convention to discuss the negotiation with Nazi Germany to find places for Jews to live. This world controversy of what was happening in Germany caused Hitler to give a speech on January 30 1939. In this speech, Hitler spoke to the Reichstag about his foreign policy and the Jewish question. During the speech he

Adolf Hitler was a cruel human being. Hitler had killed a lot of Jewish people during his whole rule. Hitler would make the Jews feel as bad as he could in any way he possibly could. He would take away their homes and separate them from their family.

World War II, one of the most bloody battles in earth's history. Adolf Hitler led the groups of soldiers in World War II while some other groups followed. One of those groups were the Einsatzgruppen, or otherwise known as killing squads. Killing squads were composed of German police officers, Nazi soldiers, and German citizens. Killing squads were used for one main reason, to get rid of as many Jews as possible. They would determine which group of people to kill by the yellow star patched on all their clothing. The star on their clothes was the Star of David. Although their main goal was to kill Jews, they also annihilated gypsies, political leaders, communists, and the mentally and physically disabled as well. The process was very gruesome.

In the final months of World War II Allied Forces, commanded by United States General Dwight D. Eisenhower, were on the offensive and had pushed deep into German territory. The Germans had suffered significant losses of troops and equipment after five years of warfare. Any chance of winning meant the Germans would have to make a stand. Hitler discussed his strategy with his top generals. While they agreed that capturing the city of Antwerp, a major Allied supply hub, would inflict a devastating blow to the Allied Forces, they disagreed with Hitler’s plan of assaulting through the heavily wooded area of the Ardennes. Furthermore, the plan was to attack under the protection of poor weather to mitigate the use of Allied airpower, which was a major Allied advantage. Hitler believed that a complex assault would catch Allied commanders off-guard causing them to be slow to react. The Allied lines were spread very thin in the Ardennes, even to the point of “an average of 73 men per mile.” Moreover, this specific area was used for training new units and for allowing battle-tested, experienced units to rest and

On January of 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed as the chancellor of Germany. Immediately after he was appointed he convinced his Cabinet to end individual freedom of all Jews. During the Holocaust era, the Nazis put out a lot of propaganda because Hitler blamed the Jews for Germanys’ defeat in World War I (Farmer, 2007). So therefore Hitler decided to deal with the Jews in a harsh matter to ensure that history does not repeat itself. Under the leadership of Hitler, the German Nazi party stripped the Jews from all of their rights and murdered approximately six million civilians. (Farmer, 2007). However, with Hitler’s use of propaganda he was able to create fear within the Jews and take away the power of their voices.

The Nazi experiment camps involved painful and deadly experiments on thousands of prisoners. Prisoners at these camps would be subject to poison, diseases, bone grafting, high pressure systems, and often sterilization. The Nazis conducted these tests to see what the human body could withstand. They also tried to find cures to multiple diseases. Furthermore, in Dachau, “Prisoners tested the feasibility of reviving individuals immersed in freezing water. For hours, prisoners were forcibly submerged in tanks filled with ice water.”(History.comstaff). The prisoners that were tested, if they survived, would often be killed. This goes for all of the experiments. Despite the rigorous experimentation, the Nazis did not accomplish or have any major discoveries that benefited humanity.

The mass killings and racial repression brought on by the Nazi regime is abhorrent. The Nazi regime singled out the Jewish community to reconcile the belief that Germany had been betrayed in World War I. Once the Jewish community had been made the victim, the system of overlapping agencies pushed institutions to the extreme as they competed for Hitler’s attention. The effect of competing to earn consideration created systemic brutality towards the Jewish people in Germany. From the creation of concentration camps and into the concentration camps created a “gray zone” within where prisoners competed for special treatment by displaying their harshness towards their own compatriots. The Nazi system of racial repression and mass murder of the Jewish population in Germany originated in Adolf Hitler’s personal shortcomings as a failed artist and as a scapegoat for Germany’s defeat in World War. The system was operated by sycophants acting obsequiously to Hitler in hopes of raising their standing with Hitler to further their career.

People may think all human experimentation is ethical and happens under supervised, and controlled conditions with the consent of the person. This wasn’t the case in Nazi Germany. The Nazi’s performed some of the most inhumane, disturbing human experiments documented by man. The Nazi’s saw their extermination camps as a prime place for scientific experiments to advance their military and Nazi racial ideology. Prisoners were forced to participate in the experiments and usually died as an effect. If the subject lived, the results often resulted in trauma, disfigurement, or permanent disability. This happened on a large scale, and affected the lives of many. These experiments were typically aimed toward Jews, but some Romani, Sinti, Soviet prisoners of war, and disabled Germans were involved in these ruthless experiments. It is important to remember these diabolical acts not because of how awful they were, but the technological and medical advancements they posed. If we don’t acknowledge the suffering these people endured, then I feel that they have died in vain.

This was because of the party’s building of a strong reputation through doing kind and selfless activities for the people of Germany (“Adolf Hitler”). Besides doing widely known charitable acts, the Nazis also grew a strong reputation with the influential people of Germany.
