Hitler Individual Rights

From 1933-1939, some of Hitler’s laws were ones of semitism with the main persecution being on those of Jewish descent. Other than a boycott on Jewish businesses, they were not allowed to join the military, go to schools or universities, perform in shows, marry those who were not Jewish, and eventually, all parts of public life. Jews were not the only ones that were persecuted though. Those who had disabilities, incurable diseases, homosexuals, and were not of the Aryan-race were also singled out and shunned by society. For Hitler to create a utopia, he needed to think of a way to send away and dispose of those he saw as not worthy of being a German.

The Nazi’s started a huge propaganda campaign against the mentally and physically disabled Germans. In 1939 and 1941, a program of mercy killing ordered by the state, led to murder, doctors and medical staff killing about 70,000 people. According to The Holocaust Explained, “They were viewed as a burden on society, as they were unable to work, and drained resources from the state.” The Physically and Mentally disabled did not fit into the Nazi’s stereotype of the pure Aryan. The pure Aryan is a race that has been used by people who promoted ideas about racial hierarchy. In July, 1933, the Nazi’s passed a law that allowed the sterilization of 350 men and women so they could not produce mutant and unusual children. Overall, the fact that the mentally and physically disabled were thought of as misplaced in th, changed the view on them at that

Furthermore, power can have a major impact on violent views in a negative way as shown by Hitler. He started fascist approaches that prompted to World War II and the deaths of no less than 11 million individuals, including the mass killing of an expected 6 million jews. From 1933 until the start of the war in 1939, Hitler and his Nazi regime made hundreds of laws and regulations to restrict and exclude jews in society. Hitler 's eugenic strategies likewise focused on children with physical and mental disabilities, and later approved a killing project for impaired grown-ups. His regime also oppressed gay people, arresting an expected 100,000 men from 1933 to 1945, some of whom were detained or sent to concentration camps. At the camps, gay prisoners had to wear pink triangles to

Since the mobilization of the Nazi movement in the early 1920’s the idea of a genetically pure Aryan race was adopted into the German psyche. In the German ideology pure isn’t someone that is a prisoner, degenerate, dissident, people with congenital cognitive and physical disabilities (including feebleminded, epileptic, schizophrenic, manic-depressive, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, deaf, blind), homosexual, idle, insane, and the weak, that need to be dispose of the chain of heredity in the Nazi controlled areas. If a person is seen as any of these they had to undergo sterilization, but most of these people’s faite was death. The Nazis did this to purify the Third Reich and make sure that Germany was truly a pure Aryan nation. Through Nazi laws, Hitler imposed his ideas on sterilization, he did not go through this without some opposition from the people of Germany that saw this as immoral.

Unfortunately, after becoming chancellor of Germany, Hitler immediately made changes, including one called the Enabling Act, which allowed him emergency powers for four years. He took away the German citizens’ freedoms as well as setting up the Gestapo who would spy on everyone. Consequently, anyone saying anything against the Nazi party or Hitler would be arrested. They kept their eyes on the Jews as well, who because of Hitler’s unimaginable, unfathomable, and unending hatred for them were no longer allowed to attend school, which had been changed to include Nazi education, which had a morning salutation of “Heil Hitler.” By 1933 Hitler took complete control of Germany. Thus, he was called Der Fuhrer (“the Leader”). When 1939 rolled around

On September 9, 1933, only a short eight months after he came to power, Hitler passed a law forbidding Jews from owning land. This was the beginning of a twelve year struggle between the Jewish people and the Nazi Party, which would later be called the Holocaust, or “sacrifice by fire” in the original Greek. Over the course of the Holocaust, Hitler and his Nazi soldiers were responsible for the deaths of approximately 6 million Jews. Moreover, if you add in the death count of other minority groups he targeted, it comes to a grand total of 11 million people who were directly murdered by the Nazi regime (Urban and Halloran). Hitler's goal behind the atrocity was to create the perfect race. He wanted a world of people from pure Aryan blood. “Hitler’s ideas included inequality among races, nations, and individuals as part of an unchangeable natural order that exalted the ‘Aryan race’ as the creative element of mankind… Moreover, he believed that the state existed to serve the (Aryan people) —a mission that to him the Weimar German Republic betrayed” (Knapp and Lukacs). In all reality, his idea of a pure Aryan race is completely incorrect, as the term “Aryan” refers to the people who lived in ancient Iran and northern India. Most of those people migrated to and populated Europe over the course of hundreds of years, so truthfully, the majority of Europe is “Aryan”... even many of the Jews. However, this didn’t stop Hitler

Before World War II began, Hitler had already began to spread his ideology of cleansing the German state of Jews and other peoples deemed unwanted by the Nazis. After World War I, nearly two million German men had been killed and political leaders and doctors were concerned about the falling birth rate of the population (Finley-Croswhite, 2014, slide 6; In this paper I am using APA style). Scientists and political leaders were concerned about the economic state of Germany and believed that biological interference, or racial hygiene, was the answer to their country’s worsening population issue. The study of eugenics had begun in the late 19th century (Finley-Croswhite, 2014, slide 3). By the 1930s eugenicists encouraged woman they considered to be genetically healthy to produce children while they discouraged women they considered racially inferior from having children. Eventually, laws were enforced that led to the mass sterilization of all racially inferior people. (Finley-Croswhite, 2014, slide 4). A primary goal of Hitler’s regime was to cleanse Germany of unfit, diseased peoples and build a population of strong, healthy Aryans. In order to accomplish this goal, Hitler had to focus a large portion of his efforts on Germans, and soon after, primarily Jewish men and women. The purpose of this paper is to explore the treatment of Jewish women by the Nazis during the Holocaust with regard to sterilization, pregnancy, and sexual abuse, and to identify the unethical

Mill. However, the most distinguishable theory from Ayn Rand is a clear definition of what the individual right entails. From Rand, a natural right doesn’t include right to a health care or housing. Rand argues, “The right to life means that a man has the right to support his life by his own work… it does not mean that others must provide him with the necessities of life”. Rand presents to the readers with an emphasis on not only how each person should inherently poses freedom but also that each person should earn themselves the commodities or achievements through their own liberty. In today’s world, the loudest political voices in the media are from the intellectuals who advocate that government should be the providers to make sure each person is living with certain amount of welfare or that certain group is institutionally oppressed. As a result, others need to be expropriated of their rights for equality of the collectives. Often, those same people advocate for “liberty” with a distorted definition of possession and social status rather than the possibility of action. Ayn Rand gives a justice to the term by linking each individual’s responsibility to

Hitler wanted the “Perfect Race” because he believed that the Aryan people and Germany was destined to rule the world. Hitler also felt that democracy and workers’ rights would disrupt society. He thought Germans should have enough living space for all the German people and that only people of German or Aryan blood should live in Germany. He believed that no non-Germans should have any say in Germany. He did not believe that Jews could be considered German. He made laws that banned marriage between non-Jewish and Jewish

In August of 1934, President Paul von Hindenburg dies and Hitler now becomes dictator of Germany under the title of Fuhrer, or supreme leader. An approximate ninety percent of voters were in favor of Hitler becoming Fuhrer and of course, Hitler is not going to let his new powers go to waste. The very next year the Nazis pass a series of laws. First, their rights of citizenship were taken away. There were laws also made that prohibited the marrying of Jewish Germans with the “Aryan” race. Others laws included, The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor, "The Reich Citizenship Law and The Law for the Protection of the Genetic Health of the German People.

These men resembled the brutal strong arm forces of Mussolini’s Blackshirts. Hitler outlawed all parties to save his own and by mid-1933, his political opponents were either incarcerated, in exile or murdered. Hitler’s ultimate goal was to make Germany the most powerful nation of the world. For the Jews of Europe, the Nazi racial theories led towards genocide. They became vicious anti-Semites, portraying the Jews as seducing, bloodsucking fiend who longed to pollute Nordic “purity.” Building on that passion, they enacted discriminatory legislation, outlawed the marriage and sexual relations between Jews and citizens of Aryan blood, forcing Jews to wear a humiliating badge. Although Hitler roused powerful support for his measures in Germany, some individuals did not agree with his ideas and attempted to resist him.

One way was through the selective breeding program and the other was through kidnapping of children who were considered racially pure. In his famous work, Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote, any crossing of two beings not at exactly the same level of the two parents...such mating is contrary to the will of nature for a higher breeding of all life. The Aryan race was viewed as the highest of all races, and they were not permitted to blend with the weaker race because doing so sacrifices their own greatness. The doctrine of a particularly German racial superiority was a strong belief of all Nazi Germans. Because of this emphasis on racial purity the marriage guidelines were very strict. The Nazis appointed so-called experts to determine and lay out the qualities of those that fit into this master race. Those qualities included, tall, long head, narrow face, well-defined chin, narrow nose with a very high root, soft fair (golden-blond) hair, receding light (blue or gray) eyes, and pink white skin color. In 1933, children from Eastern European occupied countries that fit the racial qualities began to be kidnapped. Himmler was a major player in the decision to deport children in occupied areas of Poland into Germany. The children from ages six to ten were relocated and settled into homes and underwent the process of Germanization. In his 1940 memorandum he wrote, It is our duty to

He believed that Aryans (blonde hair and blue eyes), also known as the “perfect race” were superior to all races. He identified Jews with Bolshevism and a type of cosmic evil. It was taught that Jews were to be discriminated against not because of their religion but because of their race. Despite the economic and political successes, Nazism kept it’s power through mass manipulation and coercion. As Hitler said speaking to a crowd at the Sports Palace in Berlin, “and we say that war will not end as the Jews imagine it will, namely with the uprooting of the Aryans, but as a result of this war will be the complete annihilation of the Jews.”Jews and other minority races were often sent to concentration camps to either be killed or to be worked until they die from starvation or exhaustion. The Jews were to wear the star of David on their shoulder to show that they were Jews. Any race that was a minority to the Aryans were allowed to be treated anyway, no matter how

Nazi emphasised the thought that German was the greatest race in the world and other races mean to be eliminated or dominated by German. In 1900s, Natural Selection, produced by Charles Darwin, was transferred to society, known as Social Darwinism (Evans 2008, p. 38). It made the point that only the fittest could survive. Hitler seized it and expanded it to races. He propagandised that only the strongest race could survive and that should be the Aryan (Evans 2008, p. 38). As the Aryans were believed to be the ancestors of the Germans, German was considered a superior race. However, even if the Aryan was the superior race, Nazis claimed that not every Aryan was superior. The inferior German people, including criminals, the disabled and orphans, only deserved to be died (Salomon, Barren trees ex. 1). Most of them died as a result of lack of care (Evans 2008, p. 36). Nevertheless, their death was regarded as the failure of the struggle. The reducing of inferior Germans was purposed to brought a fitter and healthier race that was able to master other races. Moreover, these people were classified as the bottom class, which is opposite to Hitler's claim that there was no class in the early period (Hitler Nationalism ex. 1). It can be seen that the equality of the Germans no longer existed and racism has partly taken place of nationalism.The most remarkable behaviour of racism was the ethnic cleansing. Nazis

The Establishment of Hitler's Dictatorship and Its Legality The career of Adolf Hitler was marked by a spectacular rise to power. He went from being a nobody in the streets of Vienna to the supreme leader of one of the most powerful nations on earth. Hitler came to power through a combination of legal means and backroom politics. The events leading up to the rise of the Nazis and Hitler are prime examples of the myriad of factors intertwining in the area of social action.
