In reality, as Satan draws nearer he begins in Germany to mold the rise of Adolf Hitler and his The National Socialist German Workers' Party, as they promote anti-Semitism and the torture of Jews as a central belief of a New World Order ideology. The number in his 25-point Party Program has a deeper significance as the Nazi party members publicly declare their aim is to segregate Jews from their country’s "Aryan" pure society by revoking the Jews' political, legal, and civil rights. The Program of the National Socialist (NAZI) German Workers’ party states, “the Program of the German Workers’ Party is a program for our time .

“Even death has a heart” (Zusak 242). When death comes to mind it is thought of as a state, rather than being a character. In The Book Thief, Death was the narrator; Death explains that dying was not the worst thing that could happen to a person. Death uses symbols to help develop themes. Words have power, war goes further than the battlefield, and sometimes what should be done will cause the most regret are all themes taken from the book.

The Swastika is used as a symbol for hope. “The word Swastika comes from the Sanskrit Svastika.”(ushmm.org). Svastika means “Good Fortune.” Svastika also means “Well-Being.” The Swastika is well known in many religions. The Swastika is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, and is also used in Buddhism. The Swastika is considered a form of cross. Motifs are decorative design. “The motif,”Swastika,” is thought to have first been used in Neorfthic Eurasia.”(ushmm.org). The Nazi flag is red with a white circle. “The red represents the social ideal.”(Loeser, crwflags.com). “The white represents nationalism.”(crwflags.com). “Some common nicknames for the Swastika are Gammadion, Hakenkle, and Flyflot.”(holocaust-trc.org). “The Swastika is thought to represent the movement of the sun.”(ushmm.org) World War II was known as one of the most destructive wars ever waged. It tore most of the world into 2 factions. “The Nazis ruined the Swastika.”(Soniak, mentalfloss.com) “The Nazis believed the Swastika was “eternally anti-semitic”.”(holocaust-trc.org). “Both Anti-Semites and unemployed workers rallied to the banner.”(holocaust-trc.org). The Swastikas flag did what Hitler wanted to accomplish. The Swastika represents the death of millions of people. Because of this, the symbol is associated with genocide. This is like Hitler’s mustache, in which something good is turned bad because of events. “People are trying to rehabilitate the

Source B is all about the eight stages of genocide. The second stage of genocide is symbolism. The stage symbolism states, "Names or symbols are given to those who are classified as 'different'. Jews living in Nazi occupied Europe were made to wear the Star of David. This quote provides that the government was enforcing laws that any Jewish person had to wear a Star of David on their clothing.

After World War II started in 1939, the Nazis ordered Jews to wear a yellow Star of David on their clothing, so they could be easily recognized and targeted. Homosexuals similarly targeted and forced to wear pink triangles. Nazis began ordering all Jews to live within small, segregated areas of big

Although the symbol had been already in use for thousands of years before hand Hitler adopted it in 1920 and made it into the official symbol of Germany’s Nazi Party (Haag, 2011). This is the time where the meaning behind the symbol started changing for many people. The symbol might have had a slight different from others as it was changed by slightly tilting it on a forty-five degree angle, but the terrible events associated now with the symbol was so strong that not even that could save it (Christensen, 2014). Hitler first announced his decision to incorporate the swastika symbol into the National Socialist Party insignia at the Salzburg Congress in August 1920 (Schmidt, 2005). On April 1 Hitler announced the boycott of Jewish businesses, then a week later dismissed Jews from the civil service, and by the end of the month, the participation of Jews in German schools was restricted by the use of a quota (Berenbaum, 2007). During one days to follow after the night of November in 1938, after anti-Jewish violence “erupted” throughout the Reich, rioters burned or damaged more than one thousand synagogues and ransacked and broke the windows of more than seven-thousand five hundred businesses (Berenbaum, 2007). This event is relatively small considering the end death count, but helps put into

"The Misfits" is a character study about people who are unable or stubbornly unwilling to adapt to the world; or to the changing world. The title characters have all been seriously hurt in the process of living and are searching (consciously and unconsciously) for ways to cope with what has happened to them in the past. To the extent that they represent an almost universal condition, the film is a symbolical study, with each character meant to illustrate a different means of coping with the realization of one's growing irrelevancy. The initial setting is Reno, symbolically appropriate because as the quickie divorce capital, it is a place where people try to remove the excess baggage of their pasts. Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe) has come there for this purpose and her new freedom is a beacon to her three male co-stars.

According to Hitler Jews were an alien threat to German racial purity and community. “After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews were consistently persecuted, Hitler’s “final solution”–now known as the Holocaust–came to fruition under the cover of world war, with mass killing centers constructed in the concentration camps of occupied Poland “ (History 2009). Hitler’s symbol used to murder millions of people was the swastika. The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix. Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power,

n The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Liesel Meminger is presented as an angry and distrusting person. However, as the work progresses, she evolves into a strong, morally driven character.
