The Rise Of Adolf Hitler During The Holocaust

There are certain names that when you hear them you instantly recognize them. Some of these people are remembered for admirable and fantastic things like Mother Teresa. Sadly, on the other end of the spectrum, there are people that we remember for the horrible crimes they have committed against humanity. An example of one of these people is Adolf Hitler. He is most well-known for his role in the deaths of millions of people during The Holocaust. One may ask themselves how any one man can rise to and gain the power that Hitler did. As well as what choices he made and what occurred in his life that led to Hitler becoming the tyrant he was during the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in the town of Braunau am Inn, Austria. He grew

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

insane to torture the human race that way. Others praise him for attempting to exterminate

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 Holocaust was a horrific that scarred, traumatized, and killed thousands of millions of people because of the decisions, thoughts, and ideas of one man. Adolf Hitler believed the ideology that only Northern Europeans, or the Aryan race as he called it, deserved human rights, dignity and respect. Everyone else, not only Jews, but Africans, Poles, Gypsies, handicapped and mentally disabled people, homosexuals, and many others were erased from the face of the Earth during Hitler’s time as the Füher. In total, about 13 million people were killed by the hand of many followers of Hitler, from the SS officers to the Gestapo and the Hitler Youth. There were countless possibilities to get killed, from arguing with the German Police to trying to

Historically, the hostility against Jews was present in the ancient, medieval, and modern world following World War I. From the crusades to the Age of Enlightenment, hatred for the Jews was common amongst the diversity of European culture. The only action that was unprecedented was the death camps. Adolf Hitler is often seen as responsible for the Holocaust. Many believe that without Hitler, there would not have been a Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was primarily motivated by the lust for power and domination. To acquire this power, he needed to find a way to unite the disparaged people of Germany. He used the historical dislike and mistrust of Jews and blamed the problems of Germany on them. He accused the Jews of wanting to overrun German society and destroy the German state: "The Jew, whether consciously or unconsciously, whether he wishes it or not, undermines the platform on which alone a nation can stand."[2] With this preface, the only way for Germany to survive and thrive was to get rid of the Jews.

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.

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.

In the year of 1933, a great devastation known as the Holocaust began. This mass destruction was led by Adolf Hitler. He was the dictator of Germany, a German politician, and the leader of the Nazi Party. Hitler as the leader of Germany led them to the bloodiest war ever to come and planned a genocide on the Jews. It was his way of targeting the minorities that he was prejudiced against, which was all Jewish life. He had great power over the Germans as a leader would, In the years of 1941-1945 he murdered approximately 6 million European Jews. This made all Jewish lives very hard to live. Hitler made them wear a gold star above their clothing to distinguish whether you are a Jew or not.

“Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat, blaming them for Germany's economic and social problems,” (“Background: Life Before”). Germany during Hitler’s rise was desperate for change and hope. When Hitler brought the German people up from economic troubles that came from World War 1 they were more than willing to agree and do nearly anything Hitler said. Hitler took his antisemitism to the extreme with the help of his people were able to conduct one of the worst mass killings known to man. Anti Semitism may have existed beforehand but it was never on the scale of what the Holocaust

Imagine being taken away from your family to be slaughtered like a an animal in a cold lonely place. Having to hide and having your rights taken away like your not a human being.

It seemed like Hitler knew nobody wanted to start another world war and he took advantage of that, as to how he convinced everyone to hate Jews… well, that was propaganda techniques. One idea was writing a book called “Mein Kampf. ”In it, he told of how Jews were “uncultured” or “pure spawns of Satan.” (Mein Kampf; 1925) in the end, 6 million Jews were dead by the end of World War 2. Out of the original 8 million that had happily lived their lives before.

It began with a simple boycott of Jewish shops and ended in the gas chambers at Auschwitz as Adolf Hitler and his Nazi followers attempted to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe.

On January of 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed as the chancellor of Germany. Immediately after he was appointed he convinced his Cabinet to end individual freedom of all Jews. During the Holocaust era, the Nazis put out a lot of propaganda because Hitler blamed the Jews for Germanys’ defeat in World War I (Farmer, 2007). So therefore Hitler decided to deal with the Jews in a harsh matter to ensure that history does not repeat itself. Under the leadership of Hitler, the German Nazi party stripped the Jews from all of their rights and murdered approximately six million civilians. (Farmer, 2007). However, with Hitler’s use of propaganda he was able to create fear within the Jews and take away the power of their voices.
