The Holocaust : The Leader Of The Holocaust

By Hitler taking these actions and deciding to carry out the Holocaust he killed 12 million Jewish, disabled, and communist people.. Also by carrying out the Holocaust he changed the way many saw the world, it made some realize how cruel the world can be. Although this is not the only genocide in history, it is usually the most thought about and sympathized about. Also this was the first time the term “Genocide” was used.

Abraham Lincoln once stated, "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." The quote from the 16th president of the United States can be interpreted that power will display someone's true character by seeing what that person will do with that power that they have been given. People will follow orders blindly just to feel powerful or superior than others, they will do unthinkable things to people just to have the feeling of power. For example, Hitler wanted to have a superior race, so the Nazi soldiers were seen as the superior race; therefore, the soldiers felt superior

Adolf screamed, "If I am ever really in power, the destruction of the Jews will be my first and most important job. As soon as I have power, I shall have gallows after gallows erected, for example, in Munich on the Marienplatz-as many of them as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged one after another, and they will stay hanging until they stink. They will stay hanging as long as hygienically possible. As soon as they are untied, then the next group will follow and that will continue until the last Jew in Munich is exterminated. Exactly the same procedure will be followed in other cities until Germany is cleansed of the last Jew!"

The point of where this all began was when Adolf Hitler came to became known as a war hero after World War I, and soon after gaining enough power to become chancellor of Europe in January of 1933. In March of 1933 one of the world 's greatest and worst tragedies in history began. This tragedy was the holocaust where the Jews were persecuted, and killed all because of the man named Adolf Hitler. He used his power and influence on others to make it seem like the Jewish people were behind everything that had happened to them. There were many things that they did to the Jews that were inhuman and evil to the very core. One thing they

When Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933, he had a belief that race was the sole matter that defined the culture of a civilization. He influenced the country of Germany to change the ideological values that they previously abided by. This change marked the beginning of a new era, which led to the most pure ideological genocide that can be remembered to this day since there was no pragmatic motivation throughout the time period the Holocaust took place. It is a dark mark in the history of western civilization, and many countries could have helped aid the Jews in their effort to resist, but none more than the United States of America. Though not the primary reason for the longevity of the Holocaust, the U.S. does bear some culpability for the persecution and eventual mass killings of the six million Jews in Europe because of a growth of anti-Semitism that interfered with the ability to offer aid at a time when they were capable to, thus becoming labeled as an international bystander.

The subject of the Holocaust is brought up many times but I'l now tell you the actually reality of this whole time. Back then we Jews never knew what was going on. No one ever mentioned that we would be stuck in a camp having to work our butts off just so we basically I can afford our life. During the time when we first arrived we were joyful besides having to be cramp and having to sit or stand on the train ride here. But once we finally were out and had all of our luggage we were joyful for the vacation we were promised. But that all took a mad turn in sudden minutes. The Nazis all the sudden command that we get into two lines. One was filled with mother and children while the other was filled with the men. looked around and all could see was worry in everyone's eyes. We then realized the

Many wonder what the notorious Adolf Hitler must have endured that led him the become such an evil, careless person. He is infamously known as the main perpetrator of the Holocaust in which roughly ten million people died. Although his exact reasoning for intolerance is, and always will be, unknown, we can infer his motive probably began for reasons such as his failure to become an artist, his abusive father, and his public relations with anti-semitic leaders.

The Holocaust started when a small group of people in Germany, who were known as the Nazis, believed that some people shouldn’t live. The Nazis were anti-Semitic which means that they did not like the Jews. The Nazi party was a small group but it grew larger as more and more people followed and believed the idea that the Nazis had about certain people. The Nazis became powerful because of their famous leader, Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazis and he believed that “...Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and the disabled - were inferior and didn’t deserve to live.”(Zullo and Bovsun 1) The Nazis and their leader, Adolf Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany’s economic problems. Hitler became very popular because he was the leader of the Nazis, and soon he became the dictator of Germany. Hitler’s main goal was to “Take control of all Europe.”(Zullo and Bovsun 1)The Jews had to move to certain camps and most of the time, they would get separated from their families and get killed by the Nazis. Six million Jews died because of the Nazis and “This horrific mass murder is called the Holocaust.”(Zullo and Bovsun 3) After the war, the survivors became concerned about telling their stories because not everyone believed it but then they remember people dying in camps and they would say ”You must live, survive. You must write it down, record it, tell it.

Just because Germany has so much beautiful history, doesn’t mean there wasn't any hardships taken to get where they are now. Nazi pioneer Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) was a standout amongst the most compelling and notorious tyrants of the twentieth century. After World War I, he rose to power in the German Socialist Workers Party, taking control of the German government in 1933. His foundation of inhumane imprisonments to capture Jews and different gatherings he accepted to be a risk to Aryan amazingness brought about the demise of more than 6 million individuals in the Holocaust. The ambassador of Japan, on December 8, visited the German Foreign Minister (von Ribbentrop) to cut a deal with the Germans to go to war against America. Von Ribbentrop

“Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.” -Primo Levi. The Holocaust was an age of man killing man over prejudices and blind hatred. Around 6 million Jews, around 3 million Ethnic Poles, 3 million Ukrainian Slavs, 2-3 million Soviets, 1.5 million Belarusian Slavs, around 400,000 Serbs, 270,000 disabled, 90,000-220,000 Romani, 80,000-200,000 Freemasons, around 20,000 Slovenes, 5,000-15,000 Homesexuals, 2,500-5,000 Jehova’s Witnesses, and 7,000 Spanish republicans were murdered, forced into ghettos, abused, and discriminated against by the Natzi’s. The mental trauma these individuals were forced to go through must have crushed their soul, hope, and their will to live.

In Germany, Adolf Hitler became leader. He told everyone that they will have jobs and be able to provide for there families. Hitler was not fair to everyone though. But what they didn't know is that they would be taking jobs and rights away from Jewish people.

“What exactly was the difference? he wondered to himself. And who decided which people wore the striped pajamas and which people wore the uniforms?” (Boyn). This event impacted several people's lives because a lot of people were terrified of being killed. Several people fled their homes and others were killed. Even when the event was over with people still feared going back home (United States Holocaust Memorial Council). The holocaust opened up the world's eyes to prejudice around the world. It also changed many countries from having a dictatorship. The holocaust is a really interesting topic to research because a lot of people don’t know exactly what occurred during that time and clearly shows how much time has flown by since then. Also,

The holocaust. It was Germany's fault correct? The majority of the world's mindset follows with the perception, and most of the facts line up; Germans built concentration camps; Germans killed Jews in gas chambers; Germans attempted wipe a race of the face of the earth. However, another perception is that they were just victims of lies, propaganda in an extremely susceptible time in the country's history. Similarly to today, lies, half-truths, and fake news is very misleading and hard to spot. We can fall victim to persuasion just as the Germans unfortunately did back then. Adolf Hitler, the man behind the lies, abused this weakness in Germany through his work Mein Kampf. He gave them someone to blame is a time of suffering. Hitler effectively established his credibility and then utilized false analogies to persuade a distraught, German audience, to follow him.

e) The Nuremberg laws were significant because if Germans were to marry a Jew, they could end up becoming Jewish and having children. This would vastly increase the Jewish population. All these people would still be transferred to camps, putting even more people to death.

Known as one of the most horrific events in history, World War II (WW2) caused tremendous adversity and suffering amongst the lives of people across the globe. However, what is most concerning about the war, was what happened behind closed doors, specifically within Germany. The Holocaust is still considered one the worst ethnic cleansing attacks in the world. Although there is an endless amount of research and hard evidence of the Holocaust occurring, certain groups of individuals strongly reject it. Known as “Holocaust Denial”, this conspiracy theory has always been personally intriguing due to several reasons and will be analyzed more thoroughly.
