Heydrich slowly rose to power with his strong determination and ruthlessness. He first joined the Nazi party with an organization of elites who were only selected for their racial attributes. He started out as an intelligence collector for an organization known as the SS (Security Service). He worked day in and day out to recover lost intelligence and gain more about the enemy. With his hard work, he eventually organized a big network of spies who wrote down anything on anyone who might pose a threat to Hitler. Heydrich’s persistence pushed him high up the ranks of the SS until he was finally appointed SS Brigadier General, one of the very few generals younger than 30. He was now the main commander of the SS (Curry).

One of his biggest exploits was convincing the Soviet leader Stalin to eliminate the Top Red Army generals in return for intelligence on a possible conspiring coup against Stalin himself. Heydrich even planned the personal attack of two of the Nazi’s prized generals because of their opposition towards Hitler’s long range war plans. In 1937-98, Himmler and Heydrich worked endlessly to encourage pro-Nazi sabotage and attacks in Austria. Because of his vicious hate for the Jews, Heydrich organized the Gestapo Office of Emigration. This permitted Jews to leave Austria but at a cost of most of their life possessions. More than a hundred thousand Jews left Austria but at a severe cost to themselves or their family (Curry).
Two years later, Heydrich was given control of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the Reich’s most important centers of industry. Shortly, however, he went back to Berlin “to take care of some unfinished business” (Curry). He had finally decided with other members of the Nazi party, the final solution of the Reich’s “Jewish Question.” Although it would be very costly, they had planned to take all of the Jews out to extermination camps and completely destroy the the entire Jewish
Adolf Eichmann perfected his plan in getting rid of the Jews. It took only four steps: step one- isolate the Jews, step two- secure the Jews’ wealth, step three- take Jews from their homes and force them to live in miserable neighborhoods, step four- send them to concentration camps. When going through this plan in Hungary, Eichmann visited a ghetto promising the 103 Jews that this was only temporary; they would
(Nazi German Schutzstaffel) unit in Austria that controlled emigration. This unit was well-known for their Jewish looting and throwing Jewish individuals out of the country. (Brager,1) He was in charge of Jewish affairs for eight years and was not the chief of department IVB. This department was in charge of executing Adolf Hitler’s final solution. Karl was the head of all of this, he was executing these plans.
Heydrich asked for new decrees which exclude the Jews from any contact with the Germans them from open transportation, schools, even doctor's facilities, basically driving them into
In the pre-war years, the Nazi Party wanted to find a solution to the “Jewish question” – meaning what to do with them (“Final Solution” Learning). On July 31, 1941, Heydrich submitted the “draft of the measures he proposed to undertake ‘to implement the desired final solution of the Jewish Question’” (“SS”). In the fall of 1941, the Nazi soldiers implemented the plan and began to effectuate it by experimental gassings in the Auschwitz extermination camp and then moving forth to surrounding camps (“Final Solution” Learning). Between then and 1945, the top SS soldiers continued to give the orders to torture, mass shoot, gas (especially in constructed extermination camps), enforce murderous labor, and other means (“Holocaust”). The ideas, which were thought of by Himmler, Eichmann, and Heydrich, are what allowed for this brutality to cause such a large scale genocide. Despite the eleven million
When one thinks of the most evil and powerful person through history, one often thinks of Adolf Hitler. However, most of the feats accomplished by Hitler would have been impossible without the help of his lesser known right-hand man, Heinrich Himmler. Deemed “the second most powerful man in Germany during World War II” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum), he helped Hitler carry out his brutal genocide of the Jewish religion. Heinrich Himmler played an extremely important role in the Holocaust.
Autumn of 1941, Heinrich told German General Odilo Globocnik to proceed with the plan to murder all of the Jews in the General government. The plan’s name was Operation Reinhard and it was named after Heydrich. A big part of the plan was the killing centers. The names of the killing centers are Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka. Their main purpose was the killing of
He employed over thousand of Jews who were going to be subsequently sent to the gas chambers, and he sacrificed his money and would have faced certain death if he was ever caught.
In the beginning Adolf Hitler couldn 't run all of germany by himself so he elected officials to take charge while he was worrying about taking over the world. “Heinrich Himmler who was appointed Reichsfuhrer- SS in 1929 and from its very inception he saw the SS as an elite force, as an elite unit, the party 's "Praetorian Guard," with all SS personnel selected on the principles of racial purity and unconditional loyalty to the Nazi Party” (Holocaust Education). Himmler took his job very seriously, he took barely trained bodyguards and turned them into an elite force who was know as “Schutzstaffel or SS “. There was nothing that Himmler didn 't do that impress the fuhrer,”Thanks to his control of the police Himmler was able to build up the concentration camps, in order to provide “protective custody” for political suspects.” Since Hitler and Himmler were
Reinhard Heydrich was the chief of the reich security main office. On September 20 1930 he issued a direct called "the Jewish question in occupied territory." It ordered the movement of all the Jews in Poland. As well as those in other areas under German control. To special places set aside for them in the main cities of the General Government, the ghettos. (Smoke and ashes
After he became chancellor, Adolf Hitler fought his way to become the “Fuhrer”, also known as Germany’s “supreme ruler” (History.com). This gave Hitler enough power to cause Germany to invade its neighboring territories, such as Poland and the Soviet Union. Several years later, the Nazi Party met in Berlin to discuss their plan about the murdering of the Jewish people. They named their plan the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.” The Nazis carefully planned each stage of the “Final Solution” before it ever began. This plan also went over how the Jewish people were to be identified from the rest of the crowd (The Holocaust). To put this plan into action the SA, (Sturmabteilungen in German, or Storm Troopers) and the SS (Schutzstaffel in German, or Protection Squadrons) were made to create concentration camps for incarcerating political opponents of the Nazis (Concentration Camps). To get Germans into identifying the Jewish people in their community, the Nazis tricked them
The ghettos were used as a means to hold the Jews captive, and isolate what Heydrich had termed the “plague” until they could find a what to eradicate the problem. This made it appear that the Nazi’s were helping the Jews, and was a way to cover up the “final solution.”
