Setting aside the controversy here, racism plays a huge part into his regime and we can see that if we look at everything from another perspective it’s not too bad. There was a purpose for a superior race; he wanted to weave out anyone too weak to fight for Germany’s return. If you weren’t strong enough to help, you are of no worth. Each of his acts takes part in the overall goal of making Germany and its people the best.
Although this is a very controversial subject because of the results in the Holocaust, looking at it from Hitler’s perspective he is not doing this out of the hatred for the Jews but for the perseverance of his people and country. If we can set aside all of the controversy we can see that Hitler may have a justifiable

Racial impurity causes cultural differences, and cultural differences make countries perish. Setting aside again all of the controversy, I believe that all Hitler was trying to do is become a prestigious leader. To his people he was a great leader, he appealed to his nation by telling them what they wanted to hear. Hitler convinced his people to look the other way when it came to the Holocaust, but why? Looking at everything from his standpoint, I feel like he needed to step up to lead his country out of the hole their in from the World War. He needed to set blame to a set of people so his people can feel the uprising. He wanted his Germany to be on top again so he had to set blame to everything to everyone else. By doing this he unified his people, thus being a good leader. Everything he does had a purpose and this purpose was to get closer to the goal of racial impurity and dominance.
Germany needed a leader, so one man stepped up to lead them. Although his acts were inhumane and controversial, he did everything with the purpose in driving Germany to success. Germany was in a downfall after World War I and they needed a kick-start to get back up on the rising. In order to unify Germany he had to make very difficult. Even though he did it for all of the wrong reasons Hitler still was a very good leader. He had a supernatural ability to unite his people in a way never before seen in history. He was able to bring Germany, which was in
Hitler, in 1934-1945, believing in the works of Charles Darwin, made concentration camps for the jews. He discriminated against the Jews, and declared The Aryan race to be superior. The killing of the Jews was both out of fear and pride for Hitler. He feared the fact that the Jews might spoil the pureness of the Aryans. He took pride in the fact that his race was superior, and so wanted to maintain his race’s superiority to keep his pride intact.
Hitler had shown unwillingness to tolerate the Jews and once he was appointed Chancellor, he started to take elimination measures like deportation, forced emigration, and isolation to enforce his belief. He took advantage of Germany’s weakness in World War One, then used it as an opportunity to blame the Jews for Germany’s defeat. Hitler’s political party was the largest political party in Germany thus allowing them to draw very large crowds to gatherings. He had very good oratory speeches with hand gestures that easily manipulated people to adhere to his views. Hitler constantly targeted the Jews because he knew people believed in these speeches. People in Germany were already anti-semitic but Hitler made it worse by constantly consuming them in his speeches. From the way he spoke about the Jews, we could clearly see the possibility of genocide. Hitler wanted Germany to be free of any humans that anyone other than his ideal master race so he personally selected bodyguards to be part of a group called the SS. Hitler was responsible for ordering the SS to carry out the extermination of anyone who did not fit this ideal. The SS handled oppositions using force and as a result of which people were forced to give into the idea of violence. Sometimes people purposely went along with this Holocaust ideal due to the fear of getting killed. These terrors allowed the holocaust occur
As Germany and there economy crumbled trying to pay off the reparations of ww1 the inflammation and unemployment was increasing by the day Germany look for radical change and it was Adolf Hitler. Behind him his cult of personality. he formed it using propaganda showing Germany a picture of a perfect life with where you have a happy wife at home and the men work and the children are perfect giving Germany a sense of nationalism. He sometimes would use propaganda portray that Hitler was larger than life and his ideas of politics and to impose his own beliefs in anti semitism to his people. however people loved adolf hitler saying thing such as "Hitler for Germany -- all of Germany of Hitler”
Hitler believed that the German people were part of an 'Aryan race,' a superior group that should be kept pure to fulfill their mission of ruling the world. He felt that the Jewish people were 'sub-human,' when in actuality they were virtually the same as his 'Aryan race.' Not only did Hitler have a personal hatred toward the Jewish people, but he also blamed them for 'stabbing Germany in the back' after Germany's defeat in World War I. Hitler used them as scapegoats because they were a minority and were easy to put the blame on. 'Historians agree that the Holocaust resulted from a confluence of various factors in a complex historical situation. That anti-Semitism festered throughout the centuries in European culture is centrally important; the Jews were (and are) a minority civilization in a majority environment. In periods of crisis, instead of searching for the solution of
He believed that “Aryans” were the purified race. He pronounced that his race must remain pure in order to one day take over the world. For Hitler, the ideal "Aryan" was blond, blue-eyed, and tall. Although Hitler was not even close to looking like an Aryan, he showed the love he had for them. His mind-set was very racist and discriminatory. He had the idea of a “master race” and he discriminated anyone that wasn’t a part of it. He believed that the Germanic people were the only purified race and everyone else was filthy. The Nazis began to put their ideology into practice with the support of German scientists who believed that the human race could be improved by limiting the reproduction of people considered "inferior." The only way Hitler could carry on his “master race” was by getting rid of every non-aryan. He went on a hunting spree for every Jew, Gypsy, homo-sexual, etc. He thought they were not pure and didn’t belong on earth, and this expresses the hatred and how discriminatory he was towards anyone that wasn’t German. By doing this, the Nazis grew in power and had the German society following them, which shows the control and power of Hitler’s words and actions. When Hitler and the Nazis came to power, these beliefs became the government ideology and were spread in publicly displayed posters, on the radio, in movies, in classrooms, and in newspapers. Hitler traveled in planes from city to city, spreading the word of the Aryan-race. He spoke to radio stations, educated children in school, posted pictures and many posters, but he mostly gave brainwashing speeches that tricked most of the German Society to follow him. He used blind obedience to grow his idea. Although most Germans followed out of fear, others seemed to resist and go against
During the 1930’s Germany was at an all time low as the worldwide economic depression hit Germany hard. The confidence in Germany from the people was lacking due to the fresh memory of their defeat in World War I. This caused great need of a new leader, someone who could give the people change, and Adolf Hitler knew he could do just that. His rapid rise to power began when he started to promise things that intrigued the German people. He promised the hopeless and needy a better life, and promised opportunities that were exactly what the people needed. This caught the attention of so many young unemployed and middle class people. His party, known as the Nazi Party, won 33 percent of the votes in the 1932 elections. And by January 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor, which was the head of the German government. Germany started to feel like they might've found the leader they'd been so desperate for.
But why racism? It is generally believed by sociologists that one cannot be a racist unless he is distinguishing between different biological traits between people, which somehow make one biological 'race' superior to another. And Hitler knew how bitter the Germans were about the loss of the First World War, so he needed a reason to give them as to why they lost. So he turned to racism and began distinguishing the Aryans from other races in Germany such as the Jews and homosexuals. By blaming the mixing of these inferior races into Aryan blood he gave the people a reason to believe they were better than someone else, and gave them a purpose, people to blame for Germanys devastated economy.
Hitler was in many ways a great leader and his influence on the German people was immense; he used his motivational and powerful speaking abilities to gain support and popularity. Hitler knew how to appeal to people's baser instincts and made use of their fears and insecurities. He could do that,
Aldof Hitler saw a imperfect group of people and blamed them for the loss of the war. Hitler stated they were subhumans and they needed to be killed to get rid of the infestation of jews that Germany had. Hitler thought getting rid of jews would help make germany a better place, but it did not. He successfuly killed jews and nothing in Germany got any better.
Hitler was seen as a savior to many Germans, hoping Germany would be saved from its severely depressed condition following World War I. Hitler used his power to create laws in order to exclude and dismiss Jews from everyday affairs. Hitler was an excellent writer and public speaker, further aiding in his success in persuading hopeless individuals to abide by his rule, while ultimately grasping complete power over the German people.
From 1933 through 1945 was a period of history called the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, people were being killed for their looks, race, and disability. About 11 million people were killed in brutal and tragic ways. Adolf Hitler, the leader, wanted to create a pure race. Racism helped Hitler organize the population into the way he wanted. He wanted people to support the cause of making a pure race. If people opposed, they would be persecuted. Racism allowed Hitler to influence the German people into following his leadership even if it meant genocide.
Around the world, national economies were tanking, the U.S., Germany, England, France, and Italy. People were becoming unemployed and were losing their homes to bank foreclosures as the cost of living was on a high rise at the time. Everyone wanted someone to blame for their problems and Hitler gave them just that. Hitler knew about the weaknesses in Germany at the time and he gave the Germans an innocent race to blame to gain power. He convinced industrialist that he alone could increase consumerism and in turn bring more production. With the increase in production Germany’s pride would begin to restore both in world standings and at home. Even
Despite Hitler's many accomplishments, one goal he failed to achieve was to “exterminate” all of the Jews and non-Aryan races. Despite the mass genocides performed in concentration camps, Hitler failed at completely removing the population. Today, many Jews are still standing tall and healing from the effects of the Holocaust. In order to understand Hitler’s actions, one must take into consideration the many misconceptions he had about these people. His hatred towards the Jews hindered him from understanding and ultimately this lead to his downfall. In Hitler’s eye the Jews were not a religious community. In fact, the Jews allegedly had their own mission to exterminate the whole of mankind, therefore the world needed to unite in order to eliminate
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.
From the second Adolf Hitler become chancellor Germany become a darker place. Germany was humiliated after WWI and Hitler wanted the world to see that Germany isn’t weak and they weren’t to blame for their troubles. Hitler blamed the Jews and those who didn’t fit his “elite race”. He started a genocide and when the world reacted all they could do was save as many lives as they could for so many had already been lost. The nations of the world could have done so much more to prevent the genocide and if they couldn’t prevent it they could have stopped it sooner. But for several years the world remained a bystander. “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” –Albert Einstein
