Totalitarianism During The Holocaust

The Totalitarian Aspects of Nazi Germany The government of Nazi Germany was a fascist, totalitarian state. They ruled in Germany ever since Hitler became chancellor in 1933, to 1945. Totalitarianism was a form of government in which the state involves itself in all facts of society, including the daily life of its citizens. It penetrates and controls all aspects of public and private life, through the state's use of propaganda, terror and technology.

The Holocaust was a time period in which Adolf Hitler was the dictator of Nazi Germany. He prosecuted many Jews because he believed they were the reason World War 1 started, causing the death of 100,000 German soldiers. Because of this, he made sure nearly every Jew was put into concentration camps or killed. Adolf Hitler was a man who wanted everything his way, and because of this he killed innocent people. The Holocaust was an unfair period for the Jews. The Jews were killed because of who they were, and the citizens didn’t try to do anything to help them

A horrid event known as The Holocaust took place in 20th century Germany. It all began when Adolph Hitler was appointed as chancellor of Germany on January 30th, 1933. Soon after, Hitler gained a numerous amount of followers and rapidly developed his Nazi Germany. Led by visions of racial purity and spatial expansion, the Nazis mainly targeted Jews. In addition, Nazis also targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses and disabled people along with anyone who resisted them. This tragic event lasted a total of 12 years.

At the foundation of Nazi ideology is a strict adherence to the racial purification of the ‘Aryan race.’ Nazi propagandists and racial fanatics created ways to limit the rights of people who were deemed racially inferior; the majority of such policies focused on solving the ‘Jewish Problem.’ In an effort to increase pressures on the Jewish population of Europe, the Nazi regime imposed laws and edicts to remove any legal rights of Jewish citizens. In order to purify the German race, the Nazi regime went a step further and implemented legislation to separate the Jewish and Aryan populations; a separation of these groups would provide a quicker way to racial purification. In the mid-1930s, laws, like the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour, were enacted to inhibit marriage and sexual relations between people of Jewish and Aryan descent. This particular law focuses on the purification of German blood, the Jewish-German marriage policy and the display of Reich symbols. Looking at its historical context, however, we see that this law is only a small piece of the Nazi policies focused on the persecution of Jews.

The Holocaust was the systematic, organized, frighten, vicious event that sponsored by Nazi Party throughout the Europe continent that approximately took away six million Jews’ life with assisted from Nazi Germany and its collaborators, the event also caused different extent of casualties to contemporary third party countries in the Europe simultaneously. The official beginning date of event started from January 1933 when Adolf Hitler first came to power in Germany with Nazi as his backup to openly addressed the conspiracy of Jews within Germany boundary by classified all the Jews as inferior that should be fully eliminate due to the Adolf Hitler circulated the misconception of Jews’ existence had created threaten to the central power of government within the German domestic which carried out the massive killing events later on in entire Europe continent from 1933 to 1946.

Totalitarianism alsogrew during the 20th century. A totalitarian government is one in which a single party rules over the entire state and has complete control. The people in a totalitarian society have no say in anything. This was the type of society that Hitler controlled. Everyone under Hitler was controlled by his rules and power. When Hitler rose into power, the Germans were still recovering from the aftermath of World War 1. Hitler promised the people radical changes and an end to all their sufferings and before long they came to love him. As a cause for all their sufferings, Hitler blamed the Jews and thus the Holocaust began. Hitler made many promises and told the people whatever he knew they wanted to hear. Before long, the people were brainwashed by him and started to submit to whatever Hitler told them to do. Germany quickly became a totalitarian state. The people were made to think

The Holocaust was a period of time when the Nazi organization ran Germany using totalitarianism and used their power to execute millions of people from January of 1933 through May of 1945. Out of the 10 millions who were killed during the Holocaust, 6 million were Jewish, other groups of people who opposed to the Nazi’s rule including communists and Jehovah's witnesses were also among the other 4 million killed. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi organization, making him the individual at the highest level of authority during the Holocaust. Hitler gained power after a series of events made it easier for him to gain support from citizens of many social classes including veterans and business workers. He gained their support by using propaganda

From 1933 to 1945 over 11 million people were slaughtered over the course of those 12 years. This event in history is known as the Holocaust. The people who lost their lives were Jews, Gypsies, Political prisoners, Roma, Jehovah Witnesses, homosexuals, and anyone who opposed the Nazi rule. The prisoners were sent to concentration camps where they were tortured, forced to work, starved, placed in gas chambers for mass extermination, and experimented on by Nazi doctors as if they were not human. The Holocaust was put in place by Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of Germany at the time. Hitler wanted the people slaughtered in order to form a master race, known as the Aryans. His master race plan was only a side goal, his first objective was to

When people elevate to the status of citizen in their respective country, it’s surely a momentous occasion. However, once the title of citizen is acquired there are certain responsibilities that must be fulfilled. Tim Holden said "The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction"(Holden). Holden’s quote has a specific point that is incredibly important which is confronting the consequences of inaction. Anger and revulsion can arise from a variety of epicenters, but one that undoubtedly protrudes is Adolf Hitler throughout World War II. Inaction can be a godsend, but definitely has a dangerous side which held true during the Holocaust and still holds true today.

The cruel abilities of the human race has been expressed throughout history. Power, greed, and desire proves to be too much for some to handle- enough to where lives are taken in order to satisfy these needs. The Holocaust is one of these dramatic forms to achieve power and for Hitler to create his ideal society. During this, Hitler and the Nazis targeted Jews and other subcategories of people who did not fit their idea of “perfect.” While this time period has been heavily documented, broadcasted, and discussed, there are still some important facts not well known to the public. These facts surpass the basics, and include some that express the true horror in the crime, facts that cause people to wonder about some inconclusive data, and make the whole thing seem like a plot for something not yet

Hitler's wrongful actions caused The Holocaust, a mass genocide killing nearly six million people. The Nazis destroyed synagogues and Jewish homes during The Holocaust. Some people were taken to concentration camps and endured appalling treatment. Jews at camps would experience the pain of hard labor, minimal necessities and may have even been executed. To recover from The Holocaust, camps were liquidated and the survivors rebuilt their lives. As a result, on April 30, 1945, Hitler committed suicide to lessen the pain and save himself from punishments after the destruction that he caused. He committed suicide in Berlin, along with his wife, Eva. Hitler caused the rise of Anti-Semitism, caused a war and the Holocaust. He devastated eastern and western Europe after the destruction he had caused. Hitler’s impacted the world by his atrocious view and thoughts, causing big conflict and

Totalitarianism is defined as a political system of government in which those in power have complete control and do not allow people to oppose them. Those in power are a single party dictatorship in which one party controls state, and all other parties are forbidden. Other important features that distinguish or help define totalitarianism include restricted or eliminated constitutional rights, state terrorism, and totalitarian rulers are known as ideological dictators. The government of Oceania, in the novel 1984, is an example of totalitarian society. Germany, under Adolf Hitler’s National Socialism is another example of totalitarianism. Orwell’s Oceania has both similarities and differences to the totalitarian states of the twentieth

There are two slightly different senses of "totalitarianism", both of them fit under both Germany under Hitler and the USSR under Stalin perfectly. In the first sense, a totalitarian government is any government that seeks to completely control the behavior of its citizens, through constant surveillance, strict laws, and brutal enforcement. This is under Stalin’s rule where the government began mass surveillance, monitoring letters, and phone calls, and planted spies everywhere to watch the population. Their system of spying was the most dominant in the world. Education in the Soviet Union was another factor in the creation of a totalitarian state.

The totalitarian regime in the Nazi State from 1933 to 1945 bestowed Hitler incredible status and power, most of which was manipulated into the ubiquitous representations of the Nazi state who cemented fear and acquiescence among the German populace. However, despite the terror instilled within Hitler’s established regime, allegiance to the Furher dwindled as groups successfully resisted the ideology of Nazism. Thence, his monolithic totalitarianism continued to idolize fear as a weapon which played a vital role in the Third Reich as resistance occurred from social democrats and communists, the youth, Christian churches and conservative military groups.

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.
