Holocaust Effect On Germany

Most of us have heard of the Nazi party’s horrific, genocidal regime on destroying the Jewish race, but what events led up to their dire judgement? In this study I aim to uncover the events, reasons and changes which led to the Holocaust and the further changes in the treatment of the Jewish race by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party.

The treaty of versailles was unfair towards Germany and caused disagreement, land lose, and a worldwide economic collapse, the treaty was just another spark to another war.

In The Nazi Dictatorship: Problems and Perspectives of Interpretation, Ian Kershaw provides an illustration of the interpretations of the Holocaust that place Hitler as the driving force behind the elimination of the Hebrew population in Germany. Kershaw describes how the term ‘the Holocaust’ was initially adopted by Jewish writers in preference of the generic descriptive term ‘genocide’. By ostensibly stating that, “without Hitler's fanatical will to destroy Jewry, which crystallized only by 1941 in tools realizable aims to exterminate physically the Jews of Europe, the Holocaust would almost certainly not have come about,” Kershaw embodies the interpretations that place Hitler as the ultimate cause for the planned annihilation of the Hebrew population in Europe.

In spite of the fact that it is a commonly known historical piece of the Holocaust, it’s authenticity has been questioned. Some conspiracies deny that it even happened at all. Through the analyzation of Hitler’s own violent anti-Semitism, powerful position, and ability to convey Nazi propaganda into action, one can see how he is the sole cause of the Holocaust.

Through the course of history, the Jewish people have been mistreated, condemned, robbed, even put to death because of their religion. In the Middle Ages, they were forced to wear symbols on their clothing, identifying them as Jews. The dates 1933 to 1945 marked the period of the deadly Holocaust in which many atrocities were committed against the Jewish people and minority groups not of Aryan descent. Six million innocent Jews were exterminated because of Hitler’s “Final Solution.” This paper will exhibit how Adolf Hitler used the three anti-Jewish policies written in history, conversion, expulsion, and annihilation to his advantage.

The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, is most famous for the mass murder of Jewish people that took place under the Nazi regime, between January 30th, 1933, and May 8th, 1945. . ‘Holocaust’ is a word of Greek origin meaning sacrifice by fire. During the time of the Second World War, the Nazis had murdered approximately six million Jews. The Nazi regime had targeted all Jews – men, women, and children for persecution and ultimately death. The Holocaust occurred because the Nazis believed that many individuals, religions, and cultures were unworthy of existence. The Nazis considered themselves to belong to a superior race and were guilty of genocide through horrendous acts of human extermination. It is interesting to see the ways in which

The year is 1933. A new political power has emerged in Germany, and is quickly expanding its' reach throughout the country. The Nazi Party, led by charismatic leader Adolf Hitler, has appealed to the German people, anxious for decisive action that will reverse the economic downturn they had been experiencing. Although the German people gave power to the Nazi party because of their determination for change and while under the impression that compromise with their more extreme ideologies would occur, the Nazi party would prove to be unrelenting. For the Jewish population in Germany between the Nazi seizure of power in 1933 and the outbreak of WWII in 1939, life became progressively worse with each passing year until life in Germany as a Jew

The Holocaust will go down as one of the most prolific genocides of all time, true evil. Not only were six million Jews slaughtered, but villages and towns were destroyed as well. Even today, the Holocaust still has a large presence on the Jewish community. Many scholars have described how evil is a good representation of the Holocaust, but Richard Rubenstein, Primo Levi, as well as Alain Resnais’ film Night and Fog, are all great sources that provide not only how the Holocaust is an evil with outsider but insider viewpoints as well. There is no doubt that the Holocaust is an example of evil, many contradict this statement. Many say that the Nazis are to be blamed for this piece of history, while others will argue that the act of God is to

The Holocaust is one of the most puzzling and unintelligible events that has occurred within human history. Consequently, investigations and research done on the Holocaust tend to give inconclusive and ambiguous results that do not provide clear reasons why both perpetrators and victims acted the way they did. Almost all historians believe that the leaders of Nazi Germany ordered the massive uprooting and murder of 11 million people, however many question why most European citizens tolerated such a cruel and brutal governmental action. All the confusion that follows the Holocaust yields a challenging task of understanding and interpreting the events that make up the Holocaust. Much like any successful investigation, studies done upon the

The Versailles Treaty was signed in 1919, which created sanctions that upset the German people

The memoirs and stories that we have read and discussed in class have described The Holocaust as a life changing event that made both the conquered and conquerors question if there was any faith left in humanity and what were their true motives. Arguably the most horrific event of the twentieth century and even in Earth’s history, The Holocaust devastated most of Central and Eastern Europe. It separated loved ones, most of the time forever. These stories display the courage and hope of ordinary people who just wanted to make it to the next day, by any means necessary.

The Holocaust is one of the most devastating events in human history. It lasted ten long years and ended with over six million innocent lives lost, not to mention the soldiers who died helping to free those who remained. The lives that were lost will never be forgotten. This paper is to take a look back on how the Holocaust started, how it was able to continue and how it finally ended.

The legacy the Second World War is often inundated in a series of disparagements, condemnations, and outright disgust against the perpetrators of the industrial scale mass-murder that was the Holocaust. This provides both positive and negative outcomes for those who seek to study the Holocaust and understand it from all angles. The demonization of key Nazi luminaries like Hitler and Himmler are highly appropriate given their ruthless and inhumane actions against European Jewry, ethnic minorities, their own German citizenry, and an international global standard of morality. Their reputations for inhumanity are well–deserved. Nonetheless,

The Holocaust was a systematic government enforced persecution and murder of the Jews that took place throughout Nazi-occupied territories under the command of Adolf Hitler. Although the rest of the world did not suffer from the abuse, murder and isolation that the Jews endured, the brutal polices against Jews caused major destruction and sparked tremendous outrage globally. World War 2 erupted after Adolf Hitler won the election for Germany’s leader in 1933. Throughout the years, his dictatorship grew and his aim was to abolish the Treaty of Versailles, issued at the end of World War 1, and regain Germany’s power. A study of the Holocaust provides the information on what prompted the holocaust and its relation to the dictatorship that Germany was under, the policies that were involved, including Ant-Semitism, Concentration Camps and Ghettos, and how the Holocaust impacted the Jews and the rest of the world.

The holocaust was a bleak and unrecoverable part of the history of the twentieth century that will always be remembered. Millions died for no reason except for one man’s madness. Although many people know why this war happened many don’t know when and what events lead up to this: the way Hitler came into power, or when the first concentration camp was established, and what city it was in, why Jews were hated so much by Hitler, and why the rest of the country also hated them as well as, and what the chronology of the Holocaust. These are some of the things I will explain in my paper.
