When discussing the most evil person in history, the name Adolf Hitler is often cited. After the death of his mother when he was eight, Hitler lived in a homeless shelter in Vienna. During this time, he was exposed to political rhetoric from German nationalists. Taking an interest in politics, Hitler began to form his ideologies of his perfect country. To achieve this goal, Hitler associated with groups who shared similar ideologies in order to boost his political influence. Adolf Hitler successfully became the chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and the ruler of Nazi Germany as well. His anti-Semitic views caused perhaps one of the most terrifying times in history: the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the brutal genocide of six million Jewish people by the Nazi regime in 1933. The Nazis believed they were racially superior to the Jewish people and wanted to purify Germany of those with non-German blood. As he reveals in his book, Adolf Hitler perpetrated injustice against roughly six million Jewish people by killing and torturing them in efforts to purify Germany from those with non-German heritage, based on his political ideologies discussed in his book. In this paper, I will discuss the background of Germany before Adolf Hitler and how he came to power. Then I will examine Hitler’s beliefs of creating a pure Germany. Next I will discuss why Hitler hated the Jewish people in particular. Next I will mention the torture Hitler subjected the Jewish people to. Finally, I
Hitler in full power created laws, one of his laws was on how Jewish people citizenship and prohibiting marriage or sexual relations with people of "German or related blood”. Thus, started the concentration camp movement, Jews, Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals and others were sent to the camps. Hitler was known as a “monster” for his masterplan to eliminating the Jews. He ended over 11 million lives for no reason what so ever, just for what he believed. With such twisted morals, Hitler and his Nazis persecuted based off religions, cultures and beliefs. The holocaust was an insight for him as the “Final Solution” for his own benefit on what he believed in and his hatred towards Jews and others.
During 1933 to 1945, Adolf Hitler created the holocaust and started World War Two as a effective cruel method to gain power through controlling people. He had lost the parliament vote, but at the end he had gained dominance of the whole party. It was a horrific, dreadful event with over 60 million unfortunate deaths, especially the fact that over 20 million innocent Jews were executed. Hitler created concentration camps, which included gas chambers and crematoriums. These devices were used against the Jews and other people.
Adolf Hitler (the founder and creator of The Holocaust) was the type person who didn’t care about anybody else but himself, and he was so desperate to be leader that he created the group called “The Nazis”, the Nazis were a group that Adolf Hitler had formed to make the Jews terrified of him. The Jews were the main target in the Holocaust because Adolf Hitler himself was a jew so in that sense he went against
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
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
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 Holocaust was one of the most shocking events in history that had in impact on everyone. It was not only the extermination of Jews, but also everyone who was not considered perfect. It was a terrible time to live in Germany, especially being a Jew. Since the Holocaust occurred somewhat recently, in history’s perspective, there are many primary sources and documents that explain and identify the situation of Germany in the 1900’s. Hitler is primarily responsible for the atrocities that occurred in Germany as well as key factors such as his rise to power, heavy propaganda, and the hatred towards Jews.
When Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933, he immediately began enforcing an authoritative state. An authoritative state is a state favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom. Hitler started a world war to achieve his dream of world domination. The war left behind an estimated 72 million dead, among them 47 million civilians, of whom some six million were Jewish. Jews were the targets of the Holocaust because Hitler hated Jews and blamed them for all of the problems in the world. Throughout the years of the Holocaust, this is seen in many ways, starting from the Nazis having book burnings to get rid of un-German writings proclaiming the death of Jewish intellectualism all the way to the extremity of the mass murder of Jews. This process progressed rapidly, and it had lasting effects for the entire world.
One of history’s most horrible events is the Jewish holocaust. This was a horrible event in WWII history. This was a mass genocide of millions of Jewish people by the Nazis led by Hitler. In Hitler’s book Mien Kamph, he wrote about getting rid of the jews in germany’s political, intellectual life and culture. He was very open to hating them. Although Hitler did not originally plan on carrying out the systematic mass murder of millions of Jews, this ultimately did happen.
In the beginning, Germany as a whole was in a state of depression. Money had become worthless and there was no true hope for the citizens of Germany until Adolf Hitler came into power. Adolf Hitler was able to obtain power with the help of the Nazi party through promises and ideas that gave aspiration to the people of Germany. As a result, after Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, along with the Nazi party, they began implementing anti-Jewish legislation. These anti-Jewish legislations would restrict Jewish people of many things and excluded them from German life. Because of this, Hitler and the Nazi regime was able to spread fear, especially towards the Jewish communities in Germany. As a result, to achieve their final solution, the Nazi regime created the ghettos and concentration camps where Jews would be sent. The ghettos and concentration camps would be what the Nazis used to control the Jewish population. The concentration camps were the most horrific aspect of the Holocaust. The Jews were forced to strip naked and do hard labor with little food and medical care. The crematorium and the gas chambers became the most inhumane way to massacre vast amounts of people. In the end, when the Holocaust ended in May 8, 1945, the deaths of the Jewish people in Europe had accumulated to a tragic, 6 million. To this day, the Holocaust, referred to as the greatest sin against humanity, remains the most traumatic and heart-breaking event in
The Holocaust was started by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in 1939(). Hitler was born in 1889 in Austria(). He served in the German Army during World War I, and after the war was over, he blamed Jews for the lost of the war. After the Great War was over, he joined the Nazi party. In 1923 while he was in jail, he wrote “My Struggles” where he predicted a world war and the extermination of Jews in Europe. He rose to power through force in the German government, and was named
The Holocaust under the reign of Adolf Hitler is the largest genocide in history. Over six million Jews, gays, gypsies, and others who were not considered worthy had been brutally murdered in the streets and concentration camps, as well as anywhere in between. This violence began in 1933. Adolf Hitler, at the time, was the leader of the National Socialist Germany Worker Party, or commonly known as the Nazi’s. He strongly believed that the Jews were responsible for corrupting the German culture.
Nationalism is a far right party. In today’s world we would be considered the “Nazi Party”. Meaning we have a very strong sense of an individual loyalty to our nation that exceeds any other interests from outsiders. Due to this party we hold very strong ideologies. The three main topics we researched were immigration, relations with the United States, and a 35-hour workweek configuration. Then we determined which position our party would most closely stand with.
Adolph Hitler was an evil man who murdered six million Jewish people, during the Nazi regime between 1933 to 1945, in Germany. During the Holocaust, one of the systems of persecution he used was the forced relocation of Jews to ghettos outside of the cities and towns. The ghettos were classified as open, closed or destruction. Jews lived in terrible conditions, trying to overcome, but unable to break free from persecution. Ghettos were formed by Hitler to temporarily house people before execution, "The first Nazi ghettos were never intended to be more than temporary, an interim concentration of Jews pending a decision concerning what the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question” was going to be" (Web: http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/ghettos/).
. . today we pursue only population increase, not breeding. We are surprised that German culture more and more disappears…We are becoming fewer and fewer! and: we are becoming more and more inferior! And thus our customs are condemned to death: they are useless!46
