Hitler's Struggle In World War One

We have learned many different things relating tot he Holocaust. The first thing is Hitler's Rise to Power. Hitler was a powerful and convincing speaker. He attracted lots of German's, especially unemployed people, young people, and lower middle class people that wanted change. In January 1933, Hitler was assigned to be head of the German government. Adolf Hitler's party was called The National

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 Holocaust was not born in one day, the hatred of Jews can be related back to the ancient world. The hatred of Jews began when the roman burned the Jewish Temple and forced the Jewish community to leave Palestine. During the Enlightenment, there was a strict tolerance of religion. These events did not result in the death of Jews but influenced the anti-semitic views. Hitler's hatred for Jews has an unknown cause, but during a prison sentence, he wrote: “Mein Kampf,” meaning my struggle, where he predicted the mass murder of the Jewish race (“The Holocaust”). Although the factors leading to the

Horror struck on January 30, 1933, when Germany assigned Adolf Hitler as their chancellor. Once Hitler had finally reached power he set out to complete one goal, create a Greater Germany free from the Jews (“The reasons for the Holocaust,” 2009). This tragedy is known today as, “The Holocaust,” that explains the terrors of our histories past. The face of the Holocaust, master of death, and leader of Germany; Adolf Hitler the most deceitful, powerful, well spoken, and intelligent person that acted as the key to this mass murder. According to a research study at the University of South Florida, nearly eleven million people were targeted and killed. This disaster is a genocide that was meant to ethnically cleanse Germany of the Jews. Although Jewish people were the main target they were not the only ones targeted; gypsies, African Americans, homosexuals, socialists, political enemies, communists, and the mentally disabled were killed (Simpson, 2012, p. 113). The word to describe this hatred for Jewish people is known as antisemitism. It was brought about when German philosophers denounced that “Jewish spirit is alien to Germandom” (“Antisemitism”) which states that a Jew is non-German. Many people notice the horrible things the Germans did, but most don’t truly understand why the Holocaust occurred. To truly understand the Holocaust, you must first know the Nazis motivations. Their motivations fell into two categories including cultural explanations that focused on ideology and

First of all, the Holocaust started in 1933, when Hitler became the leader of Germany. Although Hitler was originally an Austrian, he was a German soldier

Hitler’s hatred of the Jewish race stems from the German defeat in the first World War. He blames them for a “stab in the back” even though 100,000 Jews had served from Germany and Austria and 12,000 were killed. Right after he and his family moved to the city of Czestochowa, the German military came in and put placards up that ordered all Jewish males between the ages of 15 to 80 to report

The Holocaust was an event that Hitler a German leader placed upon his own country. Hitler placed knowledge on many believing that he was one of germany's best leaders in the textual it states some reasons about how Hitler became a german leader and how it effected Germany, “Germany has 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. Hitler declared that Germans were superior to everyone else. He also offered up scapegoat for all of Germany’s problems….” also found, “Hitler’s influence spread”. The Holocaust started because of why they hated the Jews is because of Hitler and how he acted towards the Jews because of the race he thought they were when they were just a religion.

The holocaust started when Adolf Hitler became Germany’s dictator, and they started the organization called the Nazis. They started by terrorizing the Jewish community in Germany, then eventually put them all into concentration camps. In one of the bigger camps, they experimented and took newborn babies away from the nursing mothers and they were seeing how long they would survive without feeding.

Hitler had an invincible ally without whom he could have never flourished. His ally was the world that chose to endure silence as Germany kept challenging the boundaries of the universal acceptance for its evil actions. The Holocaust didn't begin with crematoria. Hitler moved gradually, carefully intensifying his anti-Jewish guidelines. In 1935, he approved the Nuremberg Laws, depriving all Jews of German citizenship. Jews were then streaked from the businesses, their stores were rejected, they were singled out for unusual taxes, and they were forbidden from "intermarrying" with

Hitler’s rise to power came on January 20, 1933 when he was announced chancellor of Germany and then anointing himself Fuhrer. Hitler strongly believed that the Jews were responsible for Germany’s defeat in 1918, even writing in a memoir that a European war would cause the extermination of the Jewish race in Germany (History.com). Hitler was also obsessed with the Aryan race, which he believed was “pure”. These two ideas would become the main cause for this genocide. The first ever concentration camp, Dachau, opened March 1933 and at first only imprisoned political enemies to the Nazi party. Over the next few years the Jews would be persecuted and forced out of work by the Nazi party. Then in November of 1938 things escalated in what is known as the “night of broken glass”, where German synagogues were burned down and Jewish owned shops were destroyed (History). Causing the death of hundreds Jews and the arrest of thousands. In the start of the war, September 1939, the Germans have just started to occupy Poland. During this time the Germans were seizing Jewish owed land and business and had tens of thousands of Jews taken out of their homes and moved into ghettos. Starting in 1941 the Germans began moving the people in the ghettos into concentration camps and on March 17 1942 the first mass gassing happened at the camp of Belzec. Shortly after this five more camps were built in Poland the most notorious being Auschwitz (History.com). This camp by the end of the war will have killed more than 2 million people, and in total the holocaust had killed roughly 6 million Jews, 3 million soviet prisoners of war, 2 million soviet civilians, 1 million polish civilians, and 1 million Yugoslav civilians (the

Hitler was obsessed with the racial superiority he believed the German peoples had over all other inferior peoples. He wanted to rule the world, but in order to carry out his solution, he needed to convince the German people to listen to him. Perhaps Hitler would never have been able to do what he did had World War I never occurred. As Resnick said in his book, The Holocaust; After World War I, Germany was trying to rebuild and recover…Both the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression severely afflicted Germany. "In many respects, these terrible conditions made Hitler's rise to power possible." (Resnick p. 15) People in desperate situations will listen to anyone offering a way out. Hitler offered not only a way out of Germany's turmoil, but also someone to blame for it; he pointed at the Jews.

Antisemitism was the beginning and the cause of the Holocaust. The term antisemitism was actually created by a German Journalist by the name of Wilhelm Marr, created to give a name for the hatred for Jews (Ezard). Antisemitism fueled the Holocaust, the German hatred for the Jews was there even before Hitler as described by historian Robert Gellately: “What the Nazis actually did was to unshackle and thereby activate Germans’ pre-existing, pent-up antisemitism” (qtd in Ezard). One of the major decisions Hitler made inspiring this hatred was the creation of the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, these laws made Jew a completely different race, and created Aryan into a superior race (Ezard). These laws made it official that the Jews were a lesser “race,” giving another excuse for the people to wreak hatred upon them. If the Germans had tried to stop the Hitler and the Nazis the Holocaust couldn’t have happened (Mckay). If even half the Germans had resisted the damage would have been much less drastic.

The origin of the Holocaust can be attributed to Adolph Hitler coming to power and imposing his ideals on everyone. In his book, Mein Kampf, Hitler expresses hatred for Jews and his plans to rid Germany of them. Once he came to power, Germans started to boycott stores owned by Jews, restrict

Adolf Hitler came to power over Germany in January of 1933. He hated Jews and blamed them for everything bad that had ever happened to Germany. Hitler’s goal in life was to eliminate the Jewish population. With his rise to power in Germany, he would put into action his plan of elimination. This is not only why German Jews were the main target of the Holocaust, but why they were a large part of the years before, during, and after the Holocaust. Hitler’s “final solution” almost eliminated the Jewish population in Europe during World War II. At the end of the war and along with his suicide, the Jewish population would survive the horror known as the Holocaust and the Jews would eventually find their way back to their homeland of Israel

Hitler started his atrocities by first isolating the Jews from the society by restricting their entry to public places and keeping them away from the commercial life. Then their food rations were decreased and they were unemployed. Mass arrests of the Jews happened on the “Night of the Broken Glass” and they were sent straight to concentration camps. After World War II started, the German army started forcing people to leave their homes and put them in concentration
