Summer 1944, air raids continued more regularly. The Nazis grew panicked, finally on October 7th, an explosion woke Eva. Sonder Kommando Jews rebelled by blowing up Crematorim IV in Birkenau. A Gypsy camp died off shortly afterward, and the twins moved to the old building the gypsies lived in by the gas chambers. Rumors flew around that the twins would die in the gas chambers next (Kor and Buccieri). Early January 1945, the SS forced Jews to march into Germany and Eva refused to leave. In the rush and chaos to leave the camp, the Nazis did not bother to check all the barracks and groups of Jews remained in camp while the Nazis left with others. The next morning, everyone missed roll call as no more Nazis remained in the camp. The group left behind at the camp became overcome with joy, and Eva took the time to find foods, water, blankets, and new shoes. A jeep suddenly drove into the camp and four Nazis popped out firing bullets everywhere into the crowd. Jews fell in large numbers and Eva during the attack. She believed she died, only to wake up beside dead bodies and find her sister who hugged her in relief. That night lead to disaster as barracks caught on fire as Nazis started to burn camp to destroy evidence as Allies attacked from the sky (Kor and Buccieri). A march began quickly, and the Jews who did not march fast enough would die. Eva and Miriam made their way to the middle of the group for protection and marched in shock as bodies fell to the ground dead as they
Even though Germany was left in a period of struggle and economic weakness after WW1, Adolf Hitler would take a stand by creating a party that would help refine the structure of the economy. This party, when abbreviated, was called Nazi, would also create harsh laws and unrelentless punishment. Due to the Nazi party’s quick growth, there was an immediate impact on lifestyle and politics for the people of Germany. The long term impact brought forth by the consequences or legacy of the Nazi party included a population decrease and an increase in deaths. To make both of these impacts, Hitler had to overcome many hard challenges.

Many people have heard of the Nazi Party ruling from 1920-1945, but how did this monstrous organization affect Germany? Some facts were they practiced fascism and was a political party. In 1920, they were not that popular, having around 60 people. Later, in 1945, it progressed to about 8.5 million people! The leader of the Nazi Party was the dictator, Adolf Hitler. The Nazi had lots of influence on Germany by Hitler’s dictatorship, the different kind of invasions, and talking about racism.
Most Americans are aware of the plight of the Jewish population during Nazi rule in Europe and the many horrific and revolting things that occurred during the Holocaust. Of the estimated eleven million people killed during the Holocaust, more than five million of these victims were not Jewish. Were non-Jewish people treated differently or did they suffer the same consequences under Nazi rule? The answer is, that while non-Jewish people often suffered the same fate as the Jews, the Jewish people suffered a more heinous and cruel version of the Nazi reign of terror as evidenced by historical accounts recounted by concentration camp survivors and those who lived during this time. Under the Nazi rule, the leader, Adolf Hitler’s design was to eradicate all groups other than the blue-eyed, fair-haired Aryans. Groups such as Polish Christians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Roma gypsies, the physically and intellectually disabled, prisoners of war and any other person or group opposed to Hitler were persecuted, but his first atrocities were aimed specifically at people of Jewish decent.
Females of every age group, whether it was minimal or considerable, were treated differently during the Third Reich compared to during the Weimar Government. Throughout the Weimar Government, there had been movements to increase the rights of women. Under the constitution, women had complete equality with men. This incredible step was entirely erased once Hitler came to power. In Hitler’s mind, the natural role for women was domestic, they were best equipped to look after the home, care for the husbands and raise children so that’s what they should do. Life under the Nazi’s control had many changes, most impacting for the worse for women however, despite this, the support for Hitler from women increased and remained strong.
The first topic of the semester will explore the rise of Fascism in Nazi Germany and the methods by which citizens of Germany and Austria were influenced to join in Nazi ideology and policies or to resist them.
World War II was a major significance towards the history of the world and it has been over seventy years since it has come to an end with the Allies (Great Britain, United States of America, China, and the Soviet Union) winning the war after the surrender of Germany and Japan. The main focus of this research will be about the man who was in power controlling Germany, which is Adolf Hitler. He was known as the “Master of the Third Reich” and the person controlling all of the strings behind Germany during World War II. Numerous amount of people knows of Hitler because of his actions taking during World War II, which the main action taken place by him known as the Holocaust, also referred to as the Shoah. The Holocaust was a genocide of European Jews were killed by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany and around six million Jews
in 1933, the Jewish populace of Europe remained at more than nine million. Most European Jews lived in nations that Nazi Germany would involve or impact amid World War II. By 1945, the Germans and their associates slaughtered about two out of each three European Jews as a feature of the "Last Solution," the Nazi strategy to kill the Jews of Europe.
Historians have examined many possibilities to the roots of the Holocaust and World War Two, however, another possibility, which is rarely studied, is Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is a theory which was influenced by the works of Charles Darwin, however, truly developed by British philosopher and scientist Herbert Spencer. The heart of his theory was the belief that evolution continued by the survival of the fittest. This theory states that evolution occurs when individuals that possess beneficial features, the fittest, survive and the weaker individuals perish. Moreover, its wide interpretation led others several various conclusions, including new theories such as the notion of racial superiority.
Fonzo lives in Berlin, Germany with his brother Norbert and their best friend Hans. They did everything together, sports, school, and other activities. Fonzo and Hans are in the 12th grade and Norbert is in the 11th grade. One day they where just walking around together after school and saw a important looking car with a red and black Swastika on the sides with little flags on the front hood of the car also.

Although the notorious Nazi party is ridiculed more than feared today, it was once the most formidable political group in Europe. Until the ending of the World War II, the full extent of its malicious intentions and actions remained unknown to the world. When soldiers uncovered the death camps, files and citizens the true horror came out. The governments of the world asked how this could have happened? Adolf Hitler’s nightmarish political ideas consumed an entire nation. The Nazi party assumed complete control of not only Germany, but almost the entirety of Europe. More importantly however, was its control of the youth of Germany. Together these elements set the stage for a war machine like no other.
During World War II Hitler and the Nazi regime executed the greatest art heist in history. Hitler as a teenager was crushed after being rejected from Vienna's Academy of Fine Arts by the Jewish leadership. Hitler's own anger and rage was responsible for his eventual deviation into politics and Nazi party leadership. Hitler wanted to gain ownership of art to place in the Third Reich's museums to replace thousands of pieces of art from inferior cultures with famous works of art that formed the cultural soul of Western Civilization. Nazi leaders used inventories of Europe's elite museums as a veritable shopping list for items to add to their personal collections. Hitler seized hundreds of items for his own collections, he wanted for the World's
As Nazi oppression spread crosswise over Europe, the Germans and their teammates mistreated and killed a great many other individuals. Somewhere around two and three million Soviet detainees of war were killed or passed on of starvation, infection, disregard, or abuse. The Germans focused on the non-Jewish Shine intellectual elite for slaughtering, and expelled a great many Shine and Soviet regular citizens for constrained work in Germany or in possessed Poland, where these people worked and frequently kicked the bucket under woeful conditions. From the soonest years of the Nazi administration, German powers aggrieved gay people and others whose conduct did not match endorsed social standards. German police authorities focused on a large number
The Nazis throughout the control of Germany attempted to rid itself of what they considered weak in their army. Weakness to them was any sort of free thinking, defiance, mercy, and anything they deemed inferior to their ideals. To do this, they attributed their defined weakness to that of shame and fear. Which can be seen in Education for Death: The Making of the Nazi when Hans is just a child in a Hitler Youth school and answer what he felt about a fox eating a rabbit. When Hans says “thee poor rabbit” he is then promptly yelled at and sent to sit in the corner while wearing a dunce cap. This humiliation along with his peer’s answers of “the world belongs to the strong…the rabbit was a coward and deserved to die” (Geronimi, Education for Death) influenced Hans into hating the rabbit for being weak. These instilled ideas of weakness in the German children lead them to attempt and weed out the weak by putting them through humiliation or death. All the Light We Cannot See displays the Nazi ideal of driving out the weak as well during Werner’s time at the training school. While Werner was attending, there was periodic checks by the schoolmaster asking who was the weakest in their group. During the schoolmaster’s speech he says “Just as we ask you to each drive the weakness from your own bodies, so you must also learn to drive the weaknesses from the corps” (Doerr 168). The schoolmaster shows just how important strength is to the Nazi party and their need to feel superior to
