Philosophy and Evil Genocide is a traumatic part of the world's history. The term genocide was coined in the aftermath of World War II following the liberation of Nazi concentration camps. When the world learned that more than six million Jewish people had been murdered by the German military because of their beliefs, the universal reaction was disgust and disbelief. Despite all the wickedness that has occurred throughout history, this event was of such a disturbing nature that some had trouble
the Holocaust There are times in history when desperate people plagued by desperate situations blindly give evil men power. These men, once given power, have only their own evil agendas to carry out. The Holocaust was the result of one such man's agenda. In short simplicity, shear terror, brutality, inhumanity, injustice, irresponsibility, immorality, stupidity, hatred, and pure evil are but a few words to describe the Holocaust. A holocaust is defined as a disaster that results with the tremendous
Nazis and Nietzsche During the latter parts of the Nineteenth Century, the German existentialist philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote a great deal on his ideas of morality, values, and life. His writings were controversial, but they greatly affected European thought. It can be argued that Nietzschean philosophy was a contributing factor in the rise of what is considered our world's most awful empire, the Third Reich. ‹Such a stance is based on the fact that there are very similar
the worst dictator in the whole world. Hitler was a German politician, and he was the leader of the Nazi party. He was also the Chancellor of Germany. As the dictator of the Nazi, he started World War II in Europe with the incursion of Poland in September 1939 and was a central figure of the Holocaust. He was born into a German-speaking Austrian family and raised near Linz. He was moved to Germany in 1913. He was decorated during his service in the German Army in World War I. He joined the precursor
persecution of the Jewish people during the Holocaust is widely recognized as history’s single most malevolent event. Oskar Schindler’s courageous protection of his workers has become one of the most famous acts of compassion that occurred during Hitlers systematic execution of the Jews. Schindler was able to save over one thousand Jews by using his wealth and connections. The compassion that this member of the Nazi party showed to the Jews was punishable by death, yet he risked his life. Schindler and
twelve. This evil man legalised the destruction of an entire race of people. He plunged “the world into one of the bloodiest and most destructive wars in history.” (Shirer, 1961) Hitler was a genius but an evil genius. He had the ability to convince millions of German’s of his ideas to extent the power of Germany over Europe, to unite all Germans in a nation and to destroy millions of Jewish people. Even with his disturbing ideas Hitler still fascinates people. How could a man be filled with
empire of the Third Reich and the notorious Nazi Party will forever go down in history as one of the most brutal and evil government organizations of the 20th century. Inspired by the ideologies of ethnic cleansing and how Germans should be the purest of all races, these ideas became rampant all across the country, and many citizens believed that this horrible wrongness could be justified, it would be for the greater good of the true Aryan people. The Nazis sent millions of innocent minorities to their
Scottish poet, Robert Burns wrote, “Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless millions mourn.” When looking back on the history of our society, many incidences that reflect this thought clearly. One that stands out to me is the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the “purification” of Nazi Germany led by Adolf Hitler from 1939 to 1945. There were millions of people that were cycled through the concentration camps that the Nazis built. The millions of people that were killed are just a small portion of the
Holocaust. The Nazis carried out this atrocity and they planed to kill anyone who was not apart of what was considered to be the master race. All those of non-Arian backgrounds were to be killed and the majority of the people executed were Jewish. Looking at the origins, conflicts, repercussions, and deniers of the Holocaust will help prevent future atrocities from occurring. Origins of Evil: The origins of the Holocaust can be traced back to long before any mass killing began. Germany was in a great
