In Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote various hate-filled comments such as,“The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew”(“Mein Kampf: Jewish Virtual Library” 7). This is only one of the variou slurs the dictator used in the Mein Kampf. There were many controversial topics in the book, not just the derogation of the Jews. He explains the formation of his views and thoughts along with the construction of the Nazi party. Hitler “decided the he would rule the world with words” and he would be successful in doing so (Zusak 445). The printed work is one of the most popular and well known books in today’s time (Goss 20).Mein Kampf was an iconic symbol of WWII due to Adolf’s view of a future Germany. Most …show more content…
In Book Thief, Hans was constantly being disregarded by the Nazi party for being a “jew lover’. When he went out to buy a copy of Mein Kampf, a passerby comments, “he will never be approved… even if he buys a hundred copies” (Zusak 128). It was as if buying a book by Adolf Hitler would diminish all of the bad deeds Hans had done but it would no longer help due to Hans sympathy towards the Jew. Hitler targeted the Jews in Mein Kampf, blaming them for the loss of war, which people agreed on. Hitler believed that he was “acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending [himself] against the Jew, [he is] fighting for the work of the Lord”(“Mein Kampf: Jewish Virtual Library” 6). He had convinced himself that the Jews were dragging down the Aryans, Hitler’s supreme race, from rightfully ruling the world. The “struggle for world domination” was an “ongoing racial, cultural, and political battle between Aryans and Jews” (“Adolf Hitler: Mein Kampf”12). Hitler could not trust the Jews who he believed to be founded upon lies (“Mein Kampf: Jewish Virtual Library” 6). These views were to be spread throughout the country even in school classrooms. The Hitler Youth program, which Liesel was in, was established to do so. When Hans Junior spots Liesel reading a book, he questions her. “She should be reading Mein Kampf,’ he comments towards Hans. The idea of being superior to
When Adolf Hitler came onto the scene, he claimed that he would be the best ruler that Germany had ever seen. He claimed that he would revert the country back to its once state of greatness. He would have been one of the greatest rulers of all time if he would not have started the Holocaust. It was not as if the people of Germany had no idea what Hitler was capable of. He wrote down all of the gruesome things he would do to create a pure race if he became a ruler. Hitler wrote Mein Kampf while he was in prison for treason committed after the First World War for five years. In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler explains the final solution to the Jewish problem. He outlines all of his plans in the book, and was a best seller in Germany.
Mein Kampf was a key symbol in the novel, it helped Max with his struggle plus it helped Hans with his image. Mein Kampf shows how powerful words can be and how words can have such an influence on people’s decisions. Hitler’s struggle helped Hans and Max in their own struggle, without his knowledge. I read some of Mein Kampf and I was astonished to see how well he wrote. Obviously he knew what he was doing and how to do it. I was shocked while hearing the tragic stories during the Holocaust when I visited Europe this summer.
Hitler believed that the human race was very similar to species of animals and we should behave as such. His basic ideologies explain why he was looking for war and his goals for Germany. Hitler believed that each race should mate with a similar race and get rid of races that were not the same. This prejudice he had explains why he would want to go to war with nearby countries. Ideally, Hitler would demolish every single race that was not his own. It would be impossible for him to get rid of all other races, so he picked the one that was least like the Aryans which were Jewish people.
By blaming the Jews for the economic crisis that Germany was suffering through as well as their defeat in WW1, Hitler targeted the Jews as the country’s main enemy. According to him, the Jewish were directly responsible for Germany’s problems. Hitler hated the Jews leading up to the Holocaust because he believed that the Jewish financiers were responsible for sending the world into its first World War, causing the deaths over 100,000 Germans. According to the Nazis the “Aryan race” was the best and strongest race. Jews were of another inferior race. In fact so inferior that they were not considered to be “people” by the
It is extremely evident that Jews were the main target for dire judgmental opinions, but there was one man who had a passion for Germany; he believed he was the ‘saviour’ of Germany, this man served in the first world war, and it was then, near the end of the war, recovering from a war wound, when Germany was weak and crumbling, he made a vow to himself, that he would be the one, to make Germany strong, he was: Adolf Hitler.
Hitler wrote “Mein Kampt” while in prison after a failed attempt to overthrow the German government.1 Throughout his book, Hitler expressed deep seated hatred towards Jews. He saw Jews as parasites and that their existence opposed natural laws. He believed the Aryan race superior to all other races.2 He held the Jews responsible for the creation of Marxism; Karl Marx’s economic theory is the foundation of Communism.3 Hitler truly hated Communism, conceivably on the grounds that Karl Marx was a German Jew. His military service during the Great War
Hitler killed many Jews with many, many different reasons, was an amazing persuasive speecher and had very good propaganda system that won people over to his side, and killed off approximately 6 millions Jews in cruel and unforgiving ways. Hitler is one of the most hated men in all of history, and or a good reason since he was the man in charge of the sad and brutal Holocaust. Hitler was the most talented orator of all history and a brilliant strategist, but was the ringleader to the Jew killing Nazi regime, making him a common topic of undeniable
Hitler was obsessed with the racial superiority he believed the German peoples had over all other inferior peoples. He wanted to rule the world, but in order to carry out his solution, he needed to convince the German people to listen to him. Perhaps Hitler would never have been able to do what he did had World War I never occurred. As Resnick said in his book, The Holocaust; After World War I, Germany was trying to rebuild and recover…Both the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression severely afflicted Germany. "In many respects, these terrible conditions made Hitler's rise to power possible." (Resnick p. 15) People in desperate situations will listen to anyone offering a way out. Hitler offered not only a way out of Germany's turmoil, but also someone to blame for it; he pointed at the Jews.
The ideological mindset of the perpetrators was to wipe out the Jews. The Jewish population was flourishing, and out of direct orders for the troops of war the Jews were heading towards mass extermination. Territory was vital, Hitler insisted, because the expanding population of a race required it. Without new territory to support an expanding population, Hitler believed the race would ultimately stagnate and face eventual disappearance. The Nazis also postulated the idea of a qualitative hierarchy of races, in which not all races were equal. Hitler believed that Germans were members of a superior group of races that he called “Aryan.” The German “Aryan” race was gifted above all other races, Hitler asserted, with this biological superiority
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.
In Mein Kamph Hitler offered some insight into his thinking on exercise of power and in particular the important role of propaganda, his contempt of parliamentary democracy and the Weimar Republic. Hitler also wrote of the need for a national revival and the quest for living space. Hitler linked his hatred of communism with his hatred of Jews. In Hitler’s mind Russia was the centre
By 1921, Hitler was leading the National Socialist German Workers' Party. He was a very effective speaker and captivated audiences for hours. He was persuasive and told people what they wanted to hear. Because of this, he was a very successful propaganda artist. Driven by Germany's loss in WWI and humiliation, which was a result of the terms in the treaty of Versailles, Hitler found many followers who sympathized with his cause. After his political group failed an attempt to overpower the Bavarian government, he was arrested and jailed for nine months. While imprisoned, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle), which was his autobiography, and it was full of his political ideas as well as the policies for what would become the Nazi organization. Later, he would use this book to spread his ideas and indoctrinate people into the Nazi party. At one point in time, he tried to destroy all other books in Germany. He required that Mein Kampf be taught in the schools, and children learned at a very young age that they were to be Nazis and support Hitler.
Hitler wrote “Mein Kampf” which meant My Struggle; he was trying to connect to the Germans, after all, what happened in the War. First, he wanted to cut out a complete race because to him they were different than they were. Also that if you were different than you were not good enough. HE wanted everyone that lived in Germany to be German. Hitler also believed that if they were physical, mentally unhealthy then they should not produce offspring. During this time, it was thought that Hitler believed that there was a greater
In short, Hitler’s book Mein Kampf shares the authors belief, sparked a great reaction from the world and was full of purpose, giving it a reason to be a popular subject among the citizens of the world. Mein Kampf offers the views of Adolf Hitler and his plans for Germany, and his story was read by a vast amount of
The “Mein Kampf” was the Hitler’s publishment which its title means my struggle. Hitler had written this book when he was in jail. He had described all of his ideas in this book and what he saw during his political life. The thesis of this book was “the man is fighting animal” (Churchill50). This shows how Hitler defined the human being as man is an animal who should fight for obtaining his rights because of the struggle of life. This shows how the title “my struggle” is connected to the thesis that humans should fight to win against that struggle of life. Jews had a different principle, and they don’t believe in fighting. Hitler defined their idea as the cancer of the body. The goal of His fighting against Jews had been cutting of that cancer from the community. He also thought that the survival from the race occurs only by using oppressive power against enemies. He also explained that Germany can lead the globe by building a united race in the country. He also suggested that the army should be taught the only method that helps you survive is having a great force. Also, people should know the freedom can be gained when you use the force of your arms against your enemy. He also showed the main goal of education programme should b is producing a German generation who can become a soldier with minimum training. There is a movement toward rebellions in the world, and the Germans should be ready for creating greater decisions for the world. The General idea of Hitler’s Mein Kampf was everyone should use force for gaining their
