The Architecture Of Doom And Steven Pinker 's The Better Angels Of Our Nature

Hitler’s stubbornness kept him from getting the real view of the war. As the fighting continued, Hitler spent less time in public and more time in the bunker. He refused to look at any unpleasant information and was “increasingly out of touch with reality and unprepared to accept truths presented to him” (185). Hitler did not want to be bothered with the day-to-day activities of government and would refuse to get

In the September of 1907, Adolf travelled to Vienna to take the entrance exams for Austria’s Academy of Fine Arts. He made it through the first round, which eliminated 113 aspiring artists down to 80. However, he wasn’t in the last top 28 who made it through. Art critics claim that Hitler was not the genius he thought he was and his artwork was mediocre. His failure as an artist changed his life, and this could have been one of the factors leading up to his heartless actions. This event alone toughened him out in the long run. Because of it, Adolf Hitler is not known today as a famous painter, but rather a racist extremist that ruined many lives and killed 11 million

Loved and adored by a few, fervent fanatics, Hitler was deemed a savior and regarded as a genius due to his theory of a perfect race and his promise of salvation for the desperate German people. Hitler held his beliefs as optimum principles and as sacred as the word of God; he concluded they should be adopted by all of his people. The Fuhrer regarded himself as a genius in a time when people were dying for hope and a scapegoat - this would later prove to be a recipe for disaster. As a result of his theories, he put into action the most grotesque mass genocide of all time. Hitler intimidated any who opposed him, silenced any who didn’t see eye to eye with him, and eradicated all who were a threat to him. How can he be a genius? This blatant disrespect for human life is a dark stain that cannot and should not be washed away. It should be remembered and used as an example to prevent further ignorance from resulting in

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”

Hell bent on creating a perfect “Aryan” race, Hitler used propaganda and lies to work his way into the government and into peoples minds. He and the Nazi party were weapons of mass destruction, killing anyone in their path. The Jews, above all, were Hitler’s main choice of prey. He blamed the Jews for all his failures and the failures of Germany and convinced others of the same thing. And the Jews knew this. The people in concentration camps were always asking themselves if God was real, whether they were going to eat that night, and how long they were going to be stuck in hell. In a time where the Jews were questioning everything about the world, Hitler was the only constant. Wiesel expresses this by writing “I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone had kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people,” (81). God had failed them and put them in hell with their friends and family were dying around them. No matter what they did, the Jews knew that whatever Hitler said he would do he’d follow

Hitler believed that propaganda from the allies was the main reason that the Germans lost during World War I and felt that this form of warfare needed to be a primary tool in modern warfare. He spoke of this belief in his book Mein Kampf well before the start of the second World War. Hitler felt that the public needed to be inundated with the ideology of the state at all times and through all mediums (Jowett and O'Donnell 2). "To do this," he said "everything from child's story-book to the last newspaper, every theater, every cinema and every advertisement must be brought into the service of this single mission" (qt. in Qualter ix). This onslaught of propaganda led to the Holocaust by leaving no other option open to the German people

Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party used nationalism to great effect in Germany that spured the Second World World. After WWI, many Germans blamed the new government for accepting the unfair treaty as conditions became miserable. People who could not find jobs began to drift into the Communist and National Socialist parties established by Hitler. They decided that it was the necessary solution. In 1933, Hitler came to power as dictator of Germany and preached a racist brand of fascism. He promised to end the humiliating conditions caused by the German defeat in WWI. He knew how to win people's obedience and trust, through their fears and insecurities. He almost immediately got Germany back into the factories and began secretly building up army and weapons. His real motives were to expand German territory and dominate Europe and the whole world that became the prelude to another war.

Adolf Hitler, most widely known as the orchestrator of the Holocaust during World War II committed genocide across the nation, but his reasons for this mass murdering come down to one point; jealousy. As a young man Hitler had a yearning to succeed at anything he set his mind on, and being rejected by art academy’s and living as a homeless man for a part of his life began his envy for others who had succeeded, unlike himself. While Hitler was volunteering for the German army in World War I, he was temporarily blinded due to a gas attack and during this period he claimed to have received his calling, “He was to liberate Germany and make it free from what he saw as the ever-present source of decay within German racial purity; the Jew” (Dufner 15). From his point of view Jews were all he could see, and it disgusted him, so in order for him to fulfill what he believed he was meant to do, he must rid of Jews across Germany. The novel Night by Elie Wiesel and Adolf Hitler are both complex and unimaginable, but they both express belief and their own knowledge of the same situation but from different point of views. Adolf Hitler, urged by his self-hatred began his own plan for the extermination of Jews and even as far as world domination.

He once said “‘Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it’” (Adolf Hitler Quotes). By saying this, Hitler practically admitted that he was just saying what he said in order to get support from the people. He used his people to get his way by manipulating their thoughts. Hitler also once said “‘Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future’” (Adolf Hitler Quotes). This was a demonstration of Hitler’s tactics. Hitler appeared to be a reasonable person to the world before he started the Holocaust. He fought because he thought it was the only way to consolidate power. Hitler was just trying to appear friendly to get the advantage of surprise for the war. This was not the only situation he used these

The issue of Hitler’s psychological abnormality and the cause being has many believed that it also stems from him being rejected twice to his dream school, the Academy of Arts in Vienna. He has been raised with the constant influence of anti-semitic beliefs and many believed that a staggering amount of Jewish people who were in power during the time had a lot of impact whether he would have been accepted to his dream school or not-- this obviously made him dislike the general Jewish population more than he already did. However, it is not just Hitler’s psychological state of mind that enabled him to commit barbaric and inhumane acts of aggression towards millions of Jewish people, but also the German citizens’ defeated and worn out feelings that also allowed for the horrendous acts to be committed. This is due to the fact that Germany lost the First World War and were deemed to be responsible for the reparations that totalled to 132 billion gold marks, or over $33 billion US dollars, and with this plus the fitful psychological state of mind of the dictator himself, Hitler and the Germans sought out for revenge and found the Jewish population as the main target to place their rage. The idea of using the Jewish population as the scapegoat for their

As the Western Allies closed in on the Germans, Hitler greatly hoped for the separation of the alliance that he had forged against, and he believed the Germans ' loss in the First World War was due to the collapse of the home front (Hinde & Rotblat, 2003). He, therefore, made the assumption that the dictatorship establishment and the systematic killing of all the Jews would finally guarantee him victory (Hinde & Rotblat, 2003). Hitler however never succeeded, and when he sensed defeat, he decided to commit suicide with his mistress

Hitler cultivated his own army to destroy selective demographics, he wanted to create a world where his concept of ideal was the only one that existed. As a dictator he was able to constitute laws, anyone who chose to disobey these laws would be executed. The laws that are put into place can define success through evil acts. The Holocaust is a direct example; Hitler knew he would be able to brainwash human beings to obey his commands contributing to the success of his dehumanizing scheme.

Hitler told many people lies so that they could believe he was doing the right thing,

    Hitler was also a master of using manipulation through a process of deception and propaganda to influence people. Manipulation is "tricking the other party into thinking or acting in the desired way." Often when the deceived have discovered that they have been manipulated, they will be completely turned
