Hitler's goal for the Holocaust was to eliminate Jews in Germany, the World, just so only those of German blood/descent as well as those who he considered to be Aryans, could rule his Reich for 1,000 years. Hitler's goal was biased and insane, his ‘Reich’ only lasted 12 of the 1,000 years, but during these 12 years he put Jews through the ringer and then some. He dehumanized the people by stripping away everything that made them humans, he transported them as if they were animals and he even controlled what they ate in the concentration camps, Hitler confiscated their belongings and in return treated them as things, he turned almost all of Germany against them so they could be discriminated against and treated as nothing but a nuisance.
In the concentration camps that they were forced like animals into, Hitler and his Nazis controlled what their prisoners ate. One of his many attempts at dehumanizing Jews was when he had 80-100 people packed into one cattle car so they were forced to stand for days. When Eliezer and other inmates were on their way to Buchenwald, a SchutzStaffel(or SS) officer thought it would be entertaining to watch starving human beings act like

Hitler falsely accused the entire Jewish race of being responsible for World War II. His use of propaganda in school text books and media was extremely effective. People began to discriminate against Jews so heavily that they were forced to have large J’s stamped on their passports restricting them from leaving Germany and entering Austria a “Jew- friendly” territory. The hatred infused into Hitler’s followers boiled so hot, they formed into angry mobs one night and began to vandalize synagogues, Jewish owned businesses, the homes of many Jewish citizens, this was known as Kristallnacht. In fact, that night, tens of thousands of Jewish citizens were deported to concentration
The Nazis’s where very inhumane toward the way that they treated the Jews. The Nazis Party believed that they were superior over the Jews and Hitler made it very clear that the Jews were the reason why Germany was embarrassed in the war. The Germans all bought into this idea and slowly they would eventually start to take over the Jewish party by taking them out of there homes and taking them into waiting camps where they would be held before they went to the concentration camps where they would be killed and tortured. Throughout the course of Evas story there are many examples of how the Nazis soldiers tried to dehumanize Eva and her mother with the brutal things that they would do to them to make them feel like they were nothing.
The holocaust was the mass murder of 6 million European Jews by the German Nazi regime during World War 2. Adolf Hitler hated the Jews and blamed them for Germany losing World War I. He considered Jewish people to be less than human. Hitler also believed in the superiority of the Aryan race. Once he became chancellor of Germany, Hitler took away all of the Jews rights as human beings. Hitler forced the Jews to live in ghettos. The Jews would be transferred to concentration camps, where they would do hard labor. The Jews died in the concentration camps by diseases, starvation, or the cold. Some camps had gas
The Holocaust was a tragic event filled with murder, abuse and dehumanization mirroring its true meaning sacrifice by fire. During the Holocaust Nazi (A German political party) killed Jews and anyone the Germans thought were not Aryan. The Nazis blamed the Jews for the reason Germany lost WWI so Adolf Hitler and the Nazi's invaded Poland started WWII by killing all Jews and non Aryans. In Elie Wiesel’s Night Wiesel’s experiences of dehumanization are reflection through, mental abuse, physical abuse, and starvation.
During World War II, Germany was occupied by a group of people who were called Nazis. Their ever so evil leader was a fascist dictator with the name of Adolf Hitler. Hitler had this sick and twisted belief that his race of Germans was the most superior race on the planet, and that the people of Jewish heritage and race were inferior. For that matter he thought that all races were inferior, but especially the people of Jewish decent. Hitler got the idea in his mind that we need to make the world a better place and make it only full of a race that is superior, and the way that he was going to do that was to exterminate the Jews and other people deemed inferior. This is called the Jewish holocaust. Of the nine million Jews recorded living in Europe at the time,
This technique was used mainly to kill young children, but some adults were also mercilessly killed this way as well. Some of the types of persecution inflicted upon the disabled and the Jews was starvation and gassings. Jews were starved in the camps, eating a little soup and bread a day (Wiesel). The food was not fit for all the work they were doing all day. One major thing that separates the disabled Germans experience was that they were forced to sterilization. “...Hitler with overseeing the radical restructuring of Poland along ethnic lines… compulsory sterilization” (Law or the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary
How were the Jews dehumanized by the Nazis? The Nazis dehumanized the Jews through depriving them of basic human needs, individuality, and by treating them like animals. Elie Wiesel, surviver of the Holocaust, explains dehumanization in his autobiography Night. Night takes its reader through an amazing realization of how the people changed from civilized humans to vicious and animal-like. Each event that happens to Elie and the Jews, strips away pieces of their humanity. The Nazis dehumanize the Jews by robing them of their beloved possessions.
Hitler’s goal was world domination. His military efforts allowed for him to gain the governing area that he needed to achieve his goal, but there was still other factors that he believed would prevent him from actually attaining it. One of those things was the Jewish population. Hitler believed in a conspiracy theory that said that instilled the idea that Jewish people were also pursuing world domination. So, in an effort to get rid of the competition the Nazis, under Hitler's control, Authorized the killing of about six million Jewish people.
Hitler’s belief in German conquest as a means of reordering the racial composition of Europe dominated his military decisions (Witherbee). Hitler believed that the Jewish population was an enemy of the Germans. Hitler’s other reason for the holocaust was to make the perfect human a male or female with blonde hair and blue eyes. The government set out to impoverish Jews and remove them from the German Economy (“introduction to the Holocaust”).
The Holocaust was the persecution and the murder of six million Jews by Hitler, the nazi party and its collaborators. The meaning of the word holocaust is "sacrifice by fire." During the holocaust the government was the Nazi party. The Nazis, who came to power in Germany, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community. Germans thought the Roma's (gypsies), homosexuals, and the disabled people were a threat to the Germans as well. They used these groups as a scapegoat due to the depression after the loss of World War II. Hitlers goal during the final solution aimed to isolate Jews from society and drive them out of the country. (ushmm.org)
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
One of the most positive outcomes was how they survived for 2 straight years with barely any food. They could not make any movement for 8 straight hours of every day. There was a total of 8 people living in just that little apartment. When the invasion started they had so much hope. The Nazis eventually caught them and sent them to a concentration camp during the war. They still had hope after the Nazis sent them to the camp hoping that the war would be over soon.
Hitler’s original intent, as some at first believe, was not to solely destroy the Jewish people. His two major goals were to expand Germany’s power and to assert the dominance of the Aryan race (Holocaust Encyclopedia, 2014). As a result the destruction of the Jewish people could almost be considered collateral damage. Hitler was not just anti-Semitic, he was also strongly nationalistic. With his main goal being expansion, other, smaller motives became relevant as he attempted to satiate his power-hungry objective. For example, the expansion of Germany eastward provided the opportunity for Hitler to destroy Communism. Its expansion also called for the strengthening of Germany’s economic power.
The intention of the Nazi was to goal was to overcome Europe and genocide the Jews and others that were thought of as inferior (Spielvogel 850). The Holocaust was an extent of time during World War 2 that led to
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
Hitler wanted the Jews,people with diabilities,homosexual’s,ect... them dead and he wanted their territory. So he built concentration camps all around Europe. He decieved people and broke promises. He signed piece treaties with other countries, then he went behind their back and attacked them.
