Then January 30, 1993, the president of Germany, Paul von Hindenburg offered/preferred that Hitler become chancellor. Thus, the Nazi came to power legally. (Farah and Andrea, 1997)
Hitler not only impacted a society or race, but the world. By allowing his anti-semitism to carry on throughout his years of power and forcing and/or convincing people to share his feelings on the issue, he impacted the lives of so many people. When Adolf Hitler decided to carry out with the Holocaust he changed and ruined the life of most if not all Jewish people. He put Jewish people through the worst possible torture thinkable. Some were not strong or healthy enough to make it through, but those who were strong and healthy now suffer from the memories and what they had to witness and experience. They have been scarred for life. (Wiesel, 1986)
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.
Hitler decided to carry out the Holocaust because of his hatred toward Jewish people.
His hatred is based on the thoughts he
By blaming the Jews for the economic crisis that Germany was suffering through as well as their defeat in WW1, Hitler targeted the Jews as the country’s main enemy. According to him, the Jewish were directly responsible for Germany’s problems. Hitler hated the Jews leading up to the Holocaust because he believed that the Jewish financiers were responsible for sending the world into its first World War, causing the deaths over 100,000 Germans. According to the Nazis the “Aryan race” was the best and strongest race. Jews were of another inferior race. In fact so inferior that they were not considered to be “people” by the
Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi party, had ambitions to create a perfect race. This meant eliminating the Jewish race along with other undesirable races and disabled humans.
To get you started, Hitler was very impacting during the Holocaust, in fact I would say he is the most blamed person for the Holocaust. “Adolf Hitler, murder of millions, master of destruction and organized insanity, did not come into the world as a monster.” In this quote, the author is specifically saying that Hitler is a murder of millions, the person who caused the most destruction and planned it all. “ Was a genocide in which six million jews were killed by Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime and its collaborators.”
Most of these people were Jews. Terrible things were happening but they were being ignored. This chaos was all because of one person, Adolf Hitler. When Adolf Hitler rose to power, he promised Germans he would bring them power. Hitler thought that Germans who had blond hair and blue eyes were a superior race and that the Jews would ruin their superiority. In the article, The Holocaust: Non-Jewish Victims, the text states, “Hitler had a vision of a Master Race of Aryans that would control Europe. He used very powerful propaganda techniques to convince not only the German people, but countless others that if they eliminated the people who stood in their way and the degenerates and racially inferior, they - the great Germans would prosper.” Hitler did this because when he rose to power the Germans were going through hardships and he promised to fix it. When you think of the Holocaust, you think of Jewish people being
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.
The Holocaust under the reign of Adolf Hitler is the largest genocide in history. Over six million Jews, gays, gypsies, and others who were not considered worthy had been brutally murdered in the streets and concentration camps, as well as anywhere in between. This violence began in 1933. Adolf Hitler, at the time, was the leader of the National Socialist Germany Worker Party, or commonly known as the Nazi’s. He strongly believed that the Jews were responsible for corrupting the German culture.
Hitler killed many Jews with many, many different reasons, was an amazing persuasive speecher and had very good propaganda system that won people over to his side, and killed off approximately 6 millions Jews in cruel and unforgiving ways. Hitler is one of the most hated men in all of history, and or a good reason since he was the man in charge of the sad and brutal Holocaust. Hitler was the most talented orator of all history and a brilliant strategist, but was the ringleader to the Jew killing Nazi regime, making him a common topic of undeniable
Hitler, in 1934-1945, believing in the works of Charles Darwin, made concentration camps for the jews. He discriminated against the Jews, and declared The Aryan race to be superior. The killing of the Jews was both out of fear and pride for Hitler. He feared the fact that the Jews might spoil the pureness of the Aryans. He took pride in the fact that his race was superior, and so wanted to maintain his race’s superiority to keep his pride intact.
To begin with the holocaust had a great impact in history even though it was a time of disaster, murder, and discrimination. It was a time in which Adolf Hitler,German politician and Nazi party leader, wanted all Jews suffering or dead. Adolf Hitler turned everyone
From 1933 through 1945 was a period of history called the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, people were being killed for their looks, race, and disability. About 11 million people were killed in brutal and tragic ways. Adolf Hitler, the leader, wanted to create a pure race. Racism helped Hitler organize the population into the way he wanted. He wanted people to support the cause of making a pure race. If people opposed, they would be persecuted. Racism allowed Hitler to influence the German people into following his leadership even if it meant genocide.
Many religious conflicts are built from bigotry; however, only few will forever have an imprint on the world’s history. While some may leave a smear on the world’s past, some – like the homicide of Semitic people – may leave a scar. The Holocaust, closely tied to World War II, was a devastating and systematic persecution of millions of Jews by the Nazi regime and allies. Hitler, an anti-Semitic leader of the Nazis, believed that the Jewish race made the Aryan race impure. The Nazis did all in their power to annihilate the followers of Judaism, while the Jews attempted to rebel, rioted against the government, and united as one. Furthermore, the genocide had many social science factors that caused the opposition between the Jews and Nazis.
He started the holocaust and believed that people he was killing was not wrong because they were not part of the “master race”. If Hitler was a little more open minded about his beliefs, then maybe he would not have gone to great lengths as to committing genocide for them. Being open minded can really help change a person’s point of view. Even during his time of power, he chose children for his master race, and in the end the children spoke of the torment they suffered because of this. (Hall A, 2006)
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.
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
Hitler was very powerful and very concentrated, he focused on his hate for the Jewish people and used the power he had to get rid of them. Instead of using his great power to help the country, he put their name on the map and caused a lot of chaos. This essay will discuss, his hate for Jews, his reasoning for what he did, and how he recruited many people to serve for and under him. Hitler had so many people serving him and praising him for what they thought would benefit them and the future of their country.
