Was Hitler Responsible For The Holocaust

The deportation of the Jews did not have any strong effects on the Germans. Also, they were not in the same situation as the Jews. They were not fearing death every second, starved, or running twenty miles in the horrendous snow. Because it was not them, they did not care. They did not have to fret, as their lives were not on the line. A famous example is Martin Niemöller's poem, "First They Came For The Socialists". Niemöller talks about how the Germans "came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me- and there was no one left to speak for me" (Niemöller 7-11). Niemöller did not stand up for any of the minority groups that Hitler prosecuted because he was not one of them. This demonstrates how the German minds were working through this period. If it was not about them, then they would not take any action. Even if countless other lives were doomed. The German's reasoning for not rescuing the Jews was selfish and inconsiderate and lead to the execution of more Jewish

Hitler in full power created laws, one of his laws was on how Jewish people citizenship and prohibiting marriage or sexual relations with people of "German or related blood”. Thus, started the concentration camp movement, Jews, Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals and others were sent to the camps. Hitler was known as a “monster” for his masterplan to eliminating the Jews. He ended over 11 million lives for no reason what so ever, just for what he believed. With such twisted morals, Hitler and his Nazis persecuted based off religions, cultures and beliefs. The holocaust was an insight for him as the “Final Solution” for his own benefit on what he believed in and his hatred towards Jews and others.

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

“Those who had no choice but to flee for their survival and the survival of their families became refugees, seeking safe havens in other parts of Europe and beyond. At first, Jews were allowed to settle in neighboring countries such as Belgium, France, and Czechoslovakia, but as German occupation spread across the continent, these countries were no longer safe and refugees became increasingly desperate to escape. The life of Jewish refugees was described in this way: “[The refugees] were welcomed nowhere and could be assimilated nowhere. Once they had left their homeland they remained homeless, once they had left their state they remained stateless; once they had been deprived of their human rights they were right-less, the scum of the earth” (America, 2017).

him or what made him hate the Jewish race so much. Studying Adolf Hitler’s beliefs can give the world history because he gave the world an insight as to why one would want to deliberately exterminate a race, political party, nationality,

There are several various causes of the Holocaust event, the most common being the adamant hatred of Jewish people in the immediate community. Anti-Semitic views had already been widespread in Europe, even before Hitler’s time. It was believed that the Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Hitler had tried his hand at becoming a professional artist in Austria, but was struggling heavily. When he would see the Jewish people around living and doing better in life, his hatred grew--presumably out of jealousy. Germany’s defeat in World War I only made it worse. He, and other German soldiers, had blamed Jewish people even further for their loss. In the war only about one hundred-thousand Jews went to war, and only twelve-thousand were lost.

Throughout the Holocaust, “the Nazis killed over 1.5 billion children” (Children during the Holocaust). Of these children, one million of them were Jewish. The Nazis had no good reason to kill them; they only killed these innocent children because Hitler did not care for their race. The Nazis, a forceful, merciless power led by Adolf Hitler brainwashed the country of Germany into believing that Jews and other races were awful. These children bravely fought persecution and avoided death by hiding or receiving help, which makes us remember these people like Anne Frank, but it was not just the Jewish and other races that were in trouble, the German children got into trouble by joining Hitler Youth.

In 1933, while Hitler was creating his master race and totalitarian government, Dachau was built for government officials that were against Hitler. This facility, the first of its kind to be constructed, would eventually be turned into a death camp for Jews, the physically and mentally unstable, gypsies, and homosexuals. I have always wondered why the Nazis singled out the Jews and killed so many of them. Why the Jews? For a number of reasons. First, because the Jews were considered one of the “undesirable” groups because their genetic and cultural make-up did not meet Nazi standards, that is, they were not of the Aryan race. Second, Hitler and the Nazis had a very backward view of history, believing that all history was a struggle for racial superiority. Third, the Nazis, in their great ignorance, believed that the Jews had a natural drive, even a genetic impulse, to take over the world, and that the Aryan race would be dominated and enslaved by the Jews if they weren’t exterminated. Fourth, Hitler was brought up in Vienna, where Jews played an important role in the city's political and

The Holocaust was an event that Hitler a German leader placed upon his own country. Hitler placed knowledge on many believing that he was one of germany's best leaders in the textual it states some reasons about how Hitler became a german leader and how it effected Germany, “Germany has been struggling since 1918, When it was defeated in World War I. The German people felt humiliated, tired, and bitter. Hitler and his Nazi party rose to power by tapping into these feelings. Hitler declared that Germans were superior to everyone else. He also offered up scapegoat for all of Germany’s problems….” also found, “Hitler’s influence spread”. The Holocaust started because of why they hated the Jews is because of Hitler and how he acted towards the Jews because of the race he thought they were when they were just a religion.

When Hitler was elected to be leader he seemed like the type to make everything fine, which everybody was looking for at the time, although within a couple months that all went downhill. As the days grew longer the Jews felt more and more apprehensive knowing something was going to happen but couldn't do anything about it. Hitler was the type of person who caused pain for pleasure. During the Holocaust, many countries enforced laws towards emigrating citizens out of Germany, like the Johnson Immigration Act, which limited many people to stay; the United States had room to take in all the people who needed help but chose not to help.

these people with their lives and the lives of their loved ones, the Jews were “persuaded”

We remember the Holocaust, a time of horror, pain, and suffering. Approximately eleven million people were exterminated, 54.5% being Jew, and 45.5% being another kind of an Undesirable. All of this disaster was planned by Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. Him and his men took over parts of the world to dominate and create a perfect race. Someone with blue eyes, blonde hair, and fair skin.

The townspeople of Sighet also could not comprehend how the Germans would exterminate them and with what means. They thought, "This is the twentieth century, not the Middle Ages." Since the war seemed so far away the Jews of Sighet remained optimistic despite Moishe the Beadle's warnings. To many of them, including Eliezer's father, it was not worth liquidating their lives in Sighet to move to another country over the possibility of what Hitler promised. Even as the German army came closer and closer the townspeople did not believe the Germans would come that far for strategic and political reasons.

As I read deeper into this passage, I found myself frustrated by the ignorance of the Jews. They kept receiving warnings, but they dismissed them. Moishe the Beadle warned the Jewish community in Sighet that they needed to leave the town and seek refuge somewhere safe, but they blew him off. They heard news from the Budapest radio that the Fascist party had seized power, yet they did nothing. And while I sympathize greatly with the Jews for their

First, at 4:45 am on September 1, 1939 Hitler stationed 1.5 million German soldiers in Poland starting World War II. Hitler started World War II when he invaded Poland in 1939 and killed a rebellion in Germany getting rid of his main threat to his plan. Second, Hitler and the Nazis also got a lot more violent and aggressive towards the Jews. When Hitler started the Holocaust he started killing, torturing, and forcing Jews to do work. Finally, on May 8, 1945 Hitler killed himself ending the Holocaust. During the Holocaust Hitler rounded up 6 million Jews, the sick, those with disabilities, and handicapped people all around Europe. Adolf Hitler played a key role in World War II because he made many interesting decisions throughout the
