Hitler: The Main Perpetrator Of The Holocaust

In the article, it states “Hitler built on and used anti-semitic ideas that already existed. He was Austrian and grew up in Vienna where the mayor was extremely anti-semitic and where hatred of Jews was widespread” where he was from hatred of the Jews wasn’t uncommon, but why did he specifically hate Jews. There are many theories also to why he despises the Jews ranging from having a childhood friendship that ended with a Jew all the way to his mother was a Jew and that he was ashamed of her, but really I don’t think it was any of those. In an article, it states that “by giving the Jews the blame Hitler created an enemy” he used this as a tactic to win the election because he needed some kind of scapegoat to put the blame on. This got him a lot of support because it is easy for people to join into the herd mentality and just blame someone else for their own mistakes. Also, Hitler and the Nazis believed that Jewish race was “inferior” and did not even considered them people, so he needed a way to get them out of the picture to build his perfect Aryan race. I think Hitler just hated the Jews when he was born, so he just started a hate train towards them which also caused him to get elected into office, so for Hitler it was just a win-win and he really had no specific reason as to hating to the

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

The issue of Hitler’s psychological abnormality and the cause being has many believed that it also stems from him being rejected twice to his dream school, the Academy of Arts in Vienna. He has been raised with the constant influence of anti-semitic beliefs and many believed that a staggering amount of Jewish people who were in power during the time had a lot of impact whether he would have been accepted to his dream school or not-- this obviously made him dislike the general Jewish population more than he already did. However, it is not just Hitler’s psychological state of mind that enabled him to commit barbaric and inhumane acts of aggression towards millions of Jewish people, but also the German citizens’ defeated and worn out feelings that also allowed for the horrendous acts to be committed. This is due to the fact that Germany lost the First World War and were deemed to be responsible for the reparations that totalled to 132 billion gold marks, or over $33 billion US dollars, and with this plus the fitful psychological state of mind of the dictator himself, Hitler and the Germans sought out for revenge and found the Jewish population as the main target to place their rage. The idea of using the Jewish population as the scapegoat for their

The primary source “German Economic Goals and the Jewish question (August 1936)” by Adolf Hitler describes antisemitism was central to Hitler’s political vision and strategy. The Reichstag passed laws such as making the Jewish people liable for all damage inflicted by individual specimens of this community of criminals upon the German economy, and thus upon the German people. Hitler figured if he destroyed the Jewish people that the world he envisioned would be born. Therefore, he staged the holocaust to eliminate the Jews from German culture. The factors that contributed towards the Nazi hatred of the Jews includes the ideas of ‘Positive Christianity’ supported by Nazi Movement. Additionally, racial and political factors were significant in their relations to anti-Semitism during World War I, which singled out the Jews as a threat to the established order of society in German. These factors made the Jews a target for persecution and ultimate destruction by the Nazis.

It is important to teach the future generations the true events that occurred. Adolf Hitler’s reign in Germany will help describe the major effect of the gas chambers, death camps, and Nazi propaganda to the Jewish people during the mid-1900s. Documented by Eleanor Ayer, Adolf Hitler became a notorious dictator from 1934 to 1945 (1998, p. 3). After World War II, Hitler became more involved in invading neighboring countries. Because he thought the war was caused by Jews, he lead the largest massacre that many people are aware of.

Hitler was brought up in an anti-Semitic society where Jews were deeply hated by most people for no good reason. He was fed false lies such as a group of communists and Jews were planning a terror attack on the rest of society. He then began to hate Jews and ended up in a position where he could do anything he wanted and nobody could stop him. He made the nation anti-Semitic and formed groups such as the Einsatzgruppen to murder ‘undesirables’ – disabled, homosexuals or Jews.

Historically, the hostility against Jews was present in the ancient, medieval, and modern world following World War I. From the crusades to the Age of Enlightenment, hatred for the Jews was common amongst the diversity of European culture. The only action that was unprecedented was the death camps. Adolf Hitler is often seen as responsible for the Holocaust. Many believe that without Hitler, there would not have been a Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was primarily motivated by the lust for power and domination. To acquire this power, he needed to find a way to unite the disparaged people of Germany. He used the historical dislike and mistrust of Jews and blamed the problems of Germany on them. He accused the Jews of wanting to overrun German society and destroy the German state: "The Jew, whether consciously or unconsciously, whether he wishes it or not, undermines the platform on which alone a nation can stand."[2] With this preface, the only way for Germany to survive and thrive was to get rid of the Jews.

To start, Adolf Hitler had an interesting childhood. First off, Hitler started out with a pretty normal life. He was born on April 20, 1889, in Brauau, Austria. He had a sister named Paula, a half- brother named Alois, and a half-sister named Angela. Hitler was smart. He received good marks in elementary school, but was a poor student in high school.(Online, Adolf Hitler 10). Lastly, Hitler had a harsh, ill-tempered father. Hitler’s low marks in high school angered his father. His father wanted Hitler to have a career as a civil servant, but Hitler wanted to be an artist. (Online, Adolf Hitler 11). As Hitler grew up, he started to have different views on others.

“Hitler was tried for treason”. The jury gave him a jail sentence. While he was in jail, he wrote a book about his life, his political ideas and his vision, called Mein Kampf. One quote from the book shows how he was starting to think about coming to power. “By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.”

The cruel abilities of the human race has been expressed throughout history. Power, greed, and desire proves to be too much for some to handle- enough to where lives are taken in order to satisfy these needs. The Holocaust is one of these dramatic forms to achieve power and for Hitler to create his ideal society. During this, Hitler and the Nazis targeted Jews and other subcategories of people who did not fit their idea of “perfect.” While this time period has been heavily documented, broadcasted, and discussed, there are still some important facts not well known to the public. These facts surpass the basics, and include some that express the true horror in the crime, facts that cause people to wonder about some inconclusive data, and make the whole thing seem like a plot for something not yet

Adolf Hitler was a man who commits many crimes against humanity and enforced harrowing treatment on innocent humans. Hitler was born in Austria on April 20, 1889. Hitler was raised by an emotionally harsh father, who disliked many of his interests. Therefore, nature and nurture qualities of his life may have influences his choices. Later, Hitler rose to power in the German politics. He used propaganda to influence people to follow him. Subsequently, he became the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, referred as the Nazi Party. From 1933-1945, Hitler was chancellor of Germany. He served as a dictator for the country and people. In addition, Hitler instituted many Anti-Semitic laws to exclude Jews from society. Since Jews had different physical characteristics and religious views, Hitler hated them for their perspective on life.

Hitler’s realized his hate for the Jews at the end of World War I (Trueman). As a young kid growing up, Hitler began to hate the jews (Trueman). However, it was small and he did not realize it till later on in his life (Trueman). Hitler had many influences during his time in Vienna that guided him to his antipathy for the Jews, but not to the point of hating them so much (Mandelbaum). Hitler’s hatred of the Jews was cemented after World War 1 (Trueman). “In these nights [after Germany’s surrender had been announced] hatred grew in me, hatred for those responsible for this deed. What was all the pain in my eyes compared to this misery” (Mandelbaum). After the German’s conquest in World War 1, the people of Germany needed a scapegoat for

Hitler had a very unstable home and no strong role model which affected his school life and his mind. Hitler’s father abused him physically which can really affect a child’s consciousness and therefore create bitterness. Hitler was raised very Christian and was brought up to be a priest, which was placed in Hitler’s mind set and therefore brought up the idea for his hate for the Jews which lead to his gaining power by everyones votes and his manipulation. Another aspect for Hitler disliking the Jews is that his father was brought up around a jewish family and liked jews which then changed Hitler’s liking towards Jews as he hated his father and his fathers likings. Power, Hitler’s speeches, manipulation and the brighter and better Germany convinced many German’s to agree with Hitler’s ideology and hate for Jews.

Adolf Hitler is often condemned for believing in the superiority of Aryans and cruelty while delivering that notion. In fact, he showed most brutality in an extreme manner for the manifestation of anti-Semitism. Earle Rice Jr. advocated that Adolescent Hitler first found his interest in anti-Semitism in Vienna and later recorded his experience where he came to detest the actual city and the Jews in his autobiography, Mein Kampf (34-35). He became more engaged with the subject in his youth. Slowly, Hitler developed a political view as he began to search for reading materials in depth that specifically dealt with the extremist who possessed feelings of hatred against Jewish population, blaming the economic hardship which Germany was

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”.
