Millions of people were killed during the holocaust by Hitler and his evil men in the 1930's and 1940’s until Hitler killed himself ending the whole nightmare in 1945. After the horror was over, people have been asking themselves the question: Could Hitler happen again? Something similar to Hitler could happen again because it is happening today in smaller evil, it’s happened before, and people don’t and won’t stand up to it. To begin with, Hitler is happening today in smaller evil that can become a bigger deal easily. According to, “Could Hitler Happen Again” by Brian Brown, things Hitler-like are being done all around the world today. People will torture and do horrible things to others who do not follow their rules. For example, Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of North Korea, puts his people into labor camps for not following his rules. In these labor camps people are tortured, starved, and are even attacked by dogs. Very easily, Kim Jong Un could become a Hitler by wanting more power than he already has. There are many other examples around the world of evil like Hitler …show more content…
In 1967 at a high school in Palo Alto, California a teacher named Ron Jones started an experiment to teach his students how the German population could accept what the Nazies were doing. It was called the Third Wave. They were in this group thing and they would do a salute to each other and would all do things together. The kids felt like they were a part of something and it got farther than it was suppose to get. Anybody who refused to join the Wave gotten beaten up and it grew from there. It was just a simple thing that got bigger and more terrifying than it was suppose to. Luckily it was stopped before it got really bad. If it started so easily with a high school, then it can start easy
To understand how this could happen again we must first understand how it happened at all. One can not think of the Germans as hate based beings frothing at the teeth at the opportunity to kill a Jew. The German people were normal people, like you and I. It was
The Holocaust was a major altercation that was ignored by all countries. Many can admit that an event like the malignant Holocaust may happen again, and it could be ignored. I think the Holocaust can happen again and be ignored because of these reasons: people are too self- centered, people are scared to come in contact with big leaders such as Adolf Hitler, and finally, the country can try to hide all its dilemmas from the people so they believe everything is fine. Briefly, I believe that with all of the world’s problems, it can create a indignant between citizens of different culture, and many countries can ignore these problems.
Political reasons can make humans cruel. Political juggernauts, such as Hitler changed the way a race thought about another ethnic group. The influence Hitler had on people was enormous during the world war 2 period. Elie Wiesel describes it best. In the novel “night” chapter 5, an inmate says “I have more faith in Hitler than anyone else”.
People that are seduced by hate and darkness, that have power, use their power in dark, negative, vindictive ways. Power can have a negative effect on others when people use it in a controlling or dictating way. Power can influence people in a negative way. When people are influenced by this negativity it turns them into dictators. These dictators use their power to force people, under their rule, to do their bidding.
The Holocaust was a point in time when there was a mass murder of James under the German Nazi reason during the period Of 1933 - 1945 we recently read a book written by survivor and his experience through 3 Conce Camp setting the Holocaust candy and transformative learning experience because it teaches us how to prevent this from happening you're doing and preserve the memory. Prevention be an action that can be easy or hard to do Elie Wiesel a survivor writes ‘human rights are being violated on every continent more More people are being oppressed than free how can one not be sensitive to their plight?Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.Stating that close we're close To it happening again if we don't take action learning this will prevent another dictator coming to power
For the past 300 years, the world’s society has displayed lots of unbelievable human cruelty. For example, slavery in the 18th and 19th century, African Americans were forced into harsh work labor because of their skin color. Then in the 20th century, a determined dictator, Adolf Hitler, murdered and tortured eleven million lives. This horrifying event was called the Holocaust, it occurred in 1933 but ended in 1945. Adolf Hitler was angered about the result of World War 1, so he blamed Jewish people, the disabled, and other groups. During the holocaust, the eleven million lives were forced into harsh work labors or was put into gas chambers and was killed instantly. People described the Holocaust as inhumane act, and the people that survived it, could really say it was a scarring memory.
The holocaust could very well be the most catastrophic event that has occurred to date. When Hitler acquired power and assumed credit for a thriving economy, he labeled his position as a dictator. As a person of power, Hitler looked for change, and as you may imagine, needed followers. Like other extremists, Hitler had a tremendous prejudice against the Jews. While he was serving a prison sentence for nine months, Hitler composed a book titled “Mein Kampf” (My Struggle). From beginning to end, Hitler stated the Jews were to blame for all struggles. In 1919, Hitler gained attention from a few, but during the mid-1930’s, he had thousands of people listening to every word he said, which also included his feelings of extreme hatred directed towards the Jews.
There have been countless atrocities committed throughout history. Most of these atrocities are justified and developed from ideas and false realities. The most infamous atrocity of all history, the holocaust is no exception. Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany from 1933 until his suicide at the end of WWII, was directly responsible for the deaths of over 12 million people. Alan Bullock in his book Hitler a Study in Tyranny dispels any notion that any of Hitler’s ideas were original. Bullock proposes that Hitler and his rise to power was a product of other political ideas and a knack for exploiting the timing of events to extend his influence. According to Bullock Hitler’s coming to power was the product the political ideals of the late 19th and early 20th centuries which he was exposed to, the world post-WWI, and a knack for exposition events to his favor. He used his gifts of using propaganda and his organizational skills to use politics as a means to achieving power.
I don’t think think the holocaust could ever happen again because the technology that we have today wouldn't allow such events to happen again. If anyone tried to do such thing the people would use whatever it takes to stop that. If someone were to try it they would face a massive death or just be sentenced for a lot of years in
Have you ever wondered how Adolf Hitler became the powerful and evil dictator he was? In todays society, no one is brought into this world as evil; everyone is born in the purest form of life. Something bad has to happen to someone that makes a person have so much hate. Therefore, in order to better understand what made Hitler so evil, people need to know that he was influenced by his relationship with his father, not being able to pursue his dream, and his beliefs.
Throughout time people have always had different ranges of power. The effect of this power is that some people lose control and allow power to corrupt them. Some prime examples of how power corrupts can be seen through the following people: Brutus in the play The tragedy of Julius Caesar, Josef Mengele, a Nazi physician from the Holocaust, and North Korea's political leader, Kim Jong Un. These three people have either let power corrupt them even more then they have already been corrupted, or they have allowed power to completely change their character, and corrupt them into being someone they are not.
During the Holocaust Hitler did very inhumane things that we have learned not to do. On a website, independent.co.uk, it stated that, “ It demonstrates the terrifying potential of dehumanisation when you strip someone of their humanity, you become capable of committing unspeakable acts against them. You immunise yourself against normal human emotions. This is the process that allows suffering to be inflicted on innocent people on a daily basis.” This means that if someone is able to do one thing and gets away with it they feel like they have more power and continue to do bad things.
Many Nazis were unnecessarily cruel to their prisoners and those they watched over. Citizens and Nazis alike participated in Kristallnacht, even though little punishment would follow those who did not take part as long as they did not protest. Mengele, for example, was not required by law to perform cruel and unusual experiments on his people. Eichmann, Himmler, Jeckeln, Ilse Koch. These people were not followers, they were leaders. Ilse Koch skinned her inmates at Buchenwald and used their skins as pillow cushions and book covers. She encouraged the rape, murder, and torture of her girls, thinking it to be great fun (whatculture.com 2). Jeckeln developed a system, force the prisoners to dig a massive ditch, strip, lay down in the ditch, and be shot in their self-dug grave (whatculture.com 1). Jeckeln organised Babi Yar, where laughing soldiers beat the Jews to death and shot them in Jeckeln’s favorite way. It was said of Babi Yar that, “Those who hesitated had their clothes ripped off of them by force, and were kicked and struck with knuckledusters or clubs by the Germans, who seemed to be drunk with fury in a sadistic sort of rage” (Anatoli 106). These malevolent people led to horrors not required nor even imagined by Hitler. They came only from the brains of these malicious, sadistic monsters. Hitler may have encouraged his nation, but he did not directly cause this
No matter what millennium, century, or decade one looks at, one will be able to find at least one person with evil intentions for the world. These evil intentions may at first not be seen as evil intentions, but instead they may seem as if they are great ideas for the countries future. This was the case for Adolf Hitler who took advantage of his countries economical depression to rise to power. Leaders such as King Richard III have always had evil intentions because King Richard III wanted to take over the thrown by any means necessary. King Richard III and Adolf Hitler are two very similar leaders who ascended to the top of their respected countries.
The absolute power Hussein possessed led to the absolute corruption of Iraq for nearly twenty-four years. During Hussein?s rule, 200,000 people were killed or ?disappeared?. Another major dictator was Adolf Hitler who dictated and killed countless human beings. Hitler?s philosophy of thinking made him kill retarded, crippled, and disabled children along with homosexuals and Jewish people. The power that Hitler received when he became leader corrupted him and made him kill six million Jews, nearly committing genocide on the Jewish population. The corruption increased, with Hitler?s desired to expand Nazi Germany. In addition, the dictatorship and corruption caused by power is also expressed in fictional stories.
