Hitler : The Rise Of Jews By Adolf Hitler

The Holocaust was organized by Adolf Hitler and it targeted Jewish people. In the beginning, the Nazis only targeted their political opponents such as Communists or Social Democrats. These were the people that were sent to the first concentration camp. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 labeled anyone with three or four grandparents as a Jew and those with two Jewish grandparents as half-breeds. Under the Nuremberg Laws, Jews became routine targets for stigmatization and persecution (“History”). The Nazis portrayed Jews as a race and not a religious group. Religious anti-Semitism could be resolved by conversion, political anti-Semitism by expulsion. Ultimately, the logic of Nazi racial anti-Semitism led to annihilation (Berenbaum 1). “Kristallnacht” was a night in November of

Hitler and the Holocaust is a very informational novel written by Robert S. Wistrich that not only explains this horrible time in history, but also gives us a look into the mind of Hitler and Nazi ideology. This book is not just centered on Hitler and Germany as it my sound, antisemitism spread like a plague all across Europe even before the Holocaust took place. In this work, Wistrich is not making an argument, but is trying to find an explanation on why so many inhumane actions were allowed.

Immediately after the Reichstag elections on 5 March 1933, which marked the real beginning to Hitler’s and the Nazis’ takeover of Germany, “Nazi organisations began to unleash their anger against the Jews. Jews were molested, some even killed, and Jewish businesses were harassed or destroyed,” (Holocaust A Call To Conscience). The first anti-Semitic initiative was the boycott of Jewish stores in April 1933. This was followed by a wave of anti-Semitic laws and decrees. More than 2,000 racist laws and decrees were issued between 1933 and 1945.

At the end of WWI in 1918, Germany’s economy was in ruins. There were very few jobs, and bitterness began to take over the country. According to the text, “Hitler, a rising politician, offered Germany a scapegoat: Jewish people. Hitler said that Jewish people were to blame for Germany’s problems. He believed that Jews did not deserve to live.” (7) This was the birth of Antisemitism--prejudice against Jewish people. Europe’s Jewish people have always been persecuted due to their “different customs and beliefs that many viewed with suspicion.”(7) Hitler simply reignited the flames, and a violent hatred was born.

Thesis Statement: The hardships that Elie Wiesel faced in the concentration camps lead him to lose faith, until after when realizing it was crucial to keep faith in God despite the horrendous events of the Holocaust.

The rise of Hitler and the Nazis soon grew out of control around the 1940s, around when the war started. The text states, “Germany had been struggling since 1918, when it was defeated in World War I. The German people felt humiliated, tired, and bitter. Hitler and his Nazi Party rose to power by tapping into these feelings.” the text also states later that,”Hitler declared that Germans were superior to everyone else. He also offered a scapegoat for all of Germany's problems: Jewish people.” This shows that the Nazis were easily able to take control of Germany and persecute Jews for their beliefs.(6)

Dating back to oldest of human history there was always a hatred for the Jews by others, this hate that was passed down from generation to generation that built up slowly til someone took it too far; Anti-Semitism is what it is now known as, resentment to the Jews that started from lies and passed on through rumours. Adolf Hitler was a man of resentment, he was leader of the Nazi’s; a German extreme political party who held a strong hatred for the Jewish race. Hitler had loathed the Jews all his life and when it came to the great depression where everyone was so very upset he used this as an opportunity to throw shade on the Jews and blame them for all their wrongs of their lives and people were desperate enough to accept this reasoning in hope for a better life. Hitler gained massive acceptance with the nation and his political party grew threw the course of two years and by 1933 the Nazi’s had taken over without even having won an election all thanks to Hitler’s persuasiveness that granted him the chance of becoming Chancellor. Hitler used all of his power to

From 1933 to 1945, Germanyś government was led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. During this time, they carried out a method to onslaught all European Jews. Because the Germans placed themselves as the superior people, they decided that Jews would be punished only because of their religion/race. In Hitlerś eyes, the only way for survival was to be a part of the ¨master race¨. The ¨master race¨ was to always stay ¨pure¨ in hope that one day, they would take over the world.

It is important to analyze the scope of the intense racism during the Holocaust before examining the actions of German citizens; the Germans were able to cause a great amount of damage to twentieth century Jews, especially in Europe. By the time Hitler won the Reichstag election, there were over nine million Jews living in Europe and most of them resided in countries that Hitler would influence over the next decade. The violence towards Jews began as soon as Hitler came to power. Hitler's bigotries of the Jewish race were no secret, so common German citizens felt comfortable enough to create public disturbances the day after Hitler was elected leader. For example, German individuals attacked Jewish stores without an order from Hitler or his agents, and continued to do

To begin, the Nazi Party believed the Jews were engaged in a conspiracy for world domination. In addition, the Nazi Party believed that it was the Jews who controlled society and made the Germans suffer. According to annefrankguide.net, ”According to NSDAP (Nazi Party), Germany had lost the first war because of the Jews.” (“The Jews as Scapegoats” 1). Furthermore, Hitler and his followers believed that things would get much better for Germany if only the Jews were kicked out of the country. There were 500,000 Jews living in Germany in 1933 (less than 1%). That meant that it was hard to find or identify a Jew. In conclusion, the Nazi Party believed that the Jews caused all the problems in

The Nazi party came to power in 1933. Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi party, had become a major political figure in Germany during this time and was viewed as an appealing leader because of his attitude towards rebuilding a struggling Germany. In Stearns, it’s stated that the Nazi party had such a strong influence because of the stable and strong message that it projected which rallied the German citizens behind it. The Nazi party, after it came to power, began to focus on many different areas of their political agenda, one area being eradicating its Jewish minority. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party believed that the Jews were at fault for all the hardships and problems that Germany was suffering from. In reality, anti-semitism was adopted by Nazi party and used as a political movement to keep the population distracted from other problems and the Nazi actions, and to instill a common passion among the German people which would help keep support for the Nazi party at high levels. Levi’s provides evidence of this distraction because of how well the Nazi’s kept the camps and what they were doing hidden. Levi states that “During the halts, no one tried to communicate with the outside world: we felt ourselves by now “on the other side”.” (Levi, Pg. 19) This statement reveals his sense of isolation from the rest of the world. The Nazi’s were taking the prisoners to barren lands far

Jews were socially deprived of any privileges and liberties right after Hitler came to power in 1933. As it has been mentioned above in this paper that it was a very planned and systematic action aimed to exterminate the Jews from the Europe first and then from the entire world, it had lots of background attempts and steps to sideline the Jews from the mainstream of European population. First of all, the Jews were deprived of their rights to live a life equal to other groups living in Europe. These steps like not employing Jews in good jobs and other kinds of discrimination were made legal by changes in the legislation. It made the Jews angry and against the system. This anger and rebellion were triggered and multiplied by the mass

In 1933, Hitler’s Nazi regime took power in Germany at a time where the people lacked patriotism and were upset with their government. After losing World War I, Hitler’s anti-Semitism mindset was based on his ideals

“Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat, blaming them for Germany's economic and social problems,” (“Background: Life Before”). Germany during Hitler’s rise was desperate for change and hope. When Hitler brought the German people up from economic troubles that came from World War 1 they were more than willing to agree and do nearly anything Hitler said. Hitler took his antisemitism to the extreme with the help of his people were able to conduct one of the worst mass killings known to man. Anti Semitism may have existed beforehand but it was never on the scale of what the Holocaust

In the tumultuous period leading up to World War II, a series of laws were devised in Nazi Germany that subjected the Jewish people to prohibitory and discriminatory forms of treatment. Although the Jewish people only accounted for 503,000 of the 55 million occupants of the country, Adolf Hitler’s dictatorship preached the incorporation of anti-Semitism into law and practice in order to quell the people he considered to be the enemy of the country.
