Mein Kampf

Mein Kampf is one of Hitler’s most highly recognizable publishing’s to date. Within his novel, Hitler strategically uses a political tone, while belittling and dehumanizing the Jewish ‘race’ as a whole. His proper and sophisticated style of writing persuaded extensive amounts of the German population to agree with his crooked agenda to exterminate all Jews. Hitler depicted his tyrannical proposals as necessary and described his plans to begin a “…holy war against the Jews,” in order to save, purify and unite the German state (Graml, 37).

Hitler believed the Jews were responsible for the loss of world war one and also the settlement that made the Germans pay for the damages in europe. Hitler thought the Germans were a superior race. Hitler wanted to destroy all educated Jews so that if the war was lost then they wouldn't know what to do after the concentration camps

Hitler opens this chapter describing his dislike for how the future is moving towards a "peaceful contest of nations." Where instead of competing using violence, countries act like private citizens, cutting the ground from each other's feet and claiming it is harmless. The chapter then turns to Hitler's interest in war, describing his interest in the Boer war, the Ruso-Japanese war, and his position on World War I. He finds soldiers to be extremely heroic and tend to be more valuable than politicians, which he hates. His hatred of politicians stems from two policies he sees in the government: they spoon-feed their citizens news of a victory instead of letting them celebrate it, and the governments attitude towards Marxism. He believes Marxism

Even before WW2 had started Hitler predicted in his book "Mein Kampf" a European War that would exterminate all of the Jews from Germany.The word Holocaust is from the Greek words ""holos" (whole) and "kaustos" (burned)"Hitler viewed the Jewish race as a menial race of people that were below the

Adolf Hitler is considered one of the most influential speakers in history, and was able to brainwash many people into believing every word he spoke. Hitler’s Book Mein Kampf, expresses his belief system, and the events that led up to his reign over Germany. Despite how persuasive the book was, it was littered with logical fallacies throughout, but one of the most prominent was the fallacy known as “Begging the Question” referring to an author that assumes something as truth although it is yet be proven.

The Jews weren’t always liked, and they never had a place to call home, being spread out all across Europe. However Hitler took things to another level, blaming the Jews for Germany’s defeat in WWI and its following economic depression and. It is unknown why he chose the Jews as scapegoats, or whether he actually even believed the Jews were responsible, but all he saw at the time was Jews living in prosperity while Germans were suffering. Hitler’s hate made him feel like he had to exterminate all the Jews in Europe, so in his memoir “Mein Kampf”, Hitler wrote down how he planned to kill all the Jews. However the Jews then didn’t believe one man would be willing to go this far for no certain reason.

Hitler borrowed a lot of the ideas from Charles Darwin when developing his own ideology. Like Darwin, Hitler believed that social good was influenced by major forms of politics and the fittest would ultimately survive. These animalistic views show why Hitler was so adamant about fighting against others. Like any species, Hitler believed that the Aryans needed to fight in order to stay alive and everyone was to mate with one another to become an overall stronger species. The Aryans were to be a stronger race because anyone who was of a different race or weaker in anyway would die off. Hitler’s goals that he speaks about in Mein Kampf stem from his survival of the fittest mentality. In his book, he talks about Lebensraum (living space)

The New York Times reports that Hitler’s infamous manifesto, Mein Kampf, containing his anti-semitic and discriminatory propaganda towards Jews in the Holocaust during WWII has become one of the best-selling books presently in Germany, boasting a great number of 85,000 copies already sold. Notorious for his systematic genocide of the Jews, Hitler’s Mein Kampf outlines his political philosophies and ideologies and also his future plans of eradicating the Jewish population from Germany, which he considered the reason for Germany’s impending loss of the war and its deteriorating economic state.

Everybody had a different perspective on the Jews. One perspective is, Hitler believed the Jews were horrible. He had also explained and convinced this to the Nazis by saying they were “back stabbing” people. For example, the text Adolf Hitler and Mein Kampf Excerpt from Smoke and Ashes: The Story of the Holocaust” it states “..Germany had lost World War I through a “stab in the back” from its own government, which had allied itself with Jews. The Jews had so weakened the government that it had lost the will and the strength to fight.” The quote goes the show why Hitler and the Nazis have a hatred for the Jews. They explain and infer that they only reason why the Germans had lost World War 1 is because the Jews allied themselves with

He blamed diversity for its weakness and further strengthened his argument by declaring that all of the weaker nations were weak because of their variety of cultures. Hitler accused democracy for giving minorities power in government, which resulted in a pointless government (“Ideological Theory”). According to Hitler’s beliefs, inferior races were ‘stealing’ resources that could be used by a master race; The lesser race should be exterminated for the benefit of the master race (“Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race”). This theory turned into the Final Solution: Hitler’s deadly plan to

A central theme of Hitler’s thinking was the concept of struggle. In the nineteenth century the naturalist Charles Darwin had explained how in the world of nature when the environment changed some of the species with favourable variations survived better that others. Darwin called this “natural selection”.

Hitler, the leader of all of the Nazis, hated Jews and wanted to kill all of them. Hitler was a Catholic, but later grew up and didn’t believe in what Catholicism stated. He became Anti-Semitic, but still hated the Jews. He also blamed the loss of World War I on the Jews. This is how he built his idea of the Nazis attacking Poland and all his Jewish enemies. Hitler and the Nazis wanted to kill or torture all the Jews

The Holocaust is a term that has come to describe the destruction of European Jewry from 1933 to 1945. In 1933, when the Nazis came to power, the Jews were their first target. According to some scholars such as Lan Kershaw claimed that Hitler’s involvement in day to day decision making was limited, infrequent and capricious. Kershaw points in his biography to 1919 that in Nazi Germany officials of both the German State and Party Bureaucracy usually took the initiative in initiating policy to meet Hitler’s perceived wishes and visions about future Germany. In Mein Kampf, Hitler highlights “I observed the man furtively and cautiously, but the longer I started at this foreign face, scrutinizing feature for feature, the more my first question assumed a new form: Is this German? This opened his eyes to the Jewish Question. Since then he saw that Jews ‘were not Germans of a special religion, but a people in themselves. He began to distinguish Jews race from German. In the letter Hitler wrote Ani-Semitism must lead to systematic removal of the rights of the Jew and its final aim must me the removal of Jews altogether”.

For my research project, I have chosen to investigate Adolf Hitler and how he came to despise the Jewish race. My thesis question for this project is “What lead to Hitler’s desire to exterminate the Jews in Europe?”. For this investigation, two sources that have been of help to me are both Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler and World War II: a definitive visual history by Alison Sturgeon. The book Mein Kampf is an original source document written by Adolf Hitler and translated by James Murphey. Mein Kampf was published in 1995 by Franz Eher Nachfolger in Germany. Adolf Hitler was the dictator of Germany from 1934-1945. The purpose of this book is the provide insight into Hitler’s first hand thoughts and to share them with the public. In the author’s notes in Mein Kampf, Hitler says the following… “After years of uninterrupted labour it was now possible for the first time to begin a work which many had asked for and which I myself felt would be profitable for the Movement. So I decided to devote two volumes to a description not only of the aims of our Movement but also of its development. There is more to be learned from this than from any purely doctrinaire treatise.” Hitler wrote this book while incarcerated due to his attempt in overthrowing the German government in 1923. This source is valuable because it is a look into Hitler’s actual thoughts and this is important because my historical investigation requires a look into why Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jews in Europe and

He believed that the Aryan race should dominate over those who weren't as superior. He believed that the Jews were the polar opposite of the Jews, and referred to them as ''dirty, clever, without any true culture, a maggot, eternal blood suckers, repulsive, unscrupulous, monsters, foreign, the destroyer of Aryan humanity, and the mortal enemy of Aryan humanity.''(Mein Kampf - Britannica). He thought the Jews 'had lost all resemblance to Germans,' and asked 'was there any form of filth or profligacy [depravity], particularly in cultural life, without at least one Jew involved in it?' (The Final Solution - Earle Rice Jr.) Hitler no longer saw Jews as human, so as a result he wrote that getting rid of the Jews "must necessarily be a bloody process."(Mein Kampf - Britannica). Hitler also believed that getting rid of the Jews was part of “the sacred mission of the German people...to assemble and preserve the most valuable racial elements... and raise them to the dominant position.” (Mein Kampf - Britannica). This meant that to make the German's blood pure, he had to kill all the Jews, and rid them from the German culture, as they seemed to him like parasites leeching off their land, and that they clearly didn't belong. As many people bought Hitler's books, and read it, they too also believed in this philosophy, and as a result the Jews were isolated from
