The Mass Murder Of A Totalitarian Leader

After World War I, Adolf Hitler was one of the dictators that arose; which then gained power in Germany in its Great Depression. Hitler rose to power using techniques such as propaganda, censorship, charisma and terror, but that was not all he did. Hitler started his own fascist party in Germany and called it the Nazi Party. Later, Hitler developed anti-semitism, or prejudice against Jews and dehumanized them. He viewed Jews as a separate race not a religion. This caused many changes particularly to the Jews. During World War I the Nazi’s treatment of the Jews caused political, economic, and social changes.

Hitler was one of, if not the most infamous totalitarian leaders in all history to date. He gained that title by the cruel and inhumane ways he ruled Germany from 1933-1945. Hitler believed the “Aryan race”(people with pale skin, blonde hair and blue eyes) was the “superior race” and those who were not Aryan were subhuman and not worthy of human rights. Hitler was determined to rid Germany of any and all Jewish people and people who were not his “superior race”. Anyone who stood in his way or even spoke out against him would be tortured and murdered the same way he tortured and murdered thousands of innocent Jewish people and others he believed to be subhuman.

German citizens allowed approximately 11 million innocent people to lose their lives by not standing up to Hitler and his anti-semitic ideology. Many people believe this statement is true, however, several people stood up against the Nazi regime and did not back down without a fight. Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany in the 1930s and became chancellor of Germany in 1933. During his reign, Hitler imposed the blame for the economic depression after WWI on Jews. His hatred was transpired by his belief that the Aryan race was superior to all.

When Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933, he immediately began enforcing an authoritative state. An authoritative state is a state favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom. Hitler started a world war to achieve his dream of world domination. The war left behind an estimated 72 million dead, among them 47 million civilians, of whom some six million were Jewish. Jews were the targets of the Holocaust because Hitler hated Jews and blamed them for all of the problems in the world. Throughout the years of the Holocaust, this is seen in many ways, starting from the Nazis having book burnings to get rid of un-German writings proclaiming the death of Jewish intellectualism all the way to the extremity of the mass murder of Jews. This process progressed rapidly, and it had lasting effects for the entire world.

During World War II, Germany was occupied by a group of people who were called Nazis. Their ever so evil leader was a fascist dictator with the name of Adolf Hitler. Hitler had this sick and twisted belief that his race of Germans was the most superior race on the planet, and that the people of Jewish heritage and race were inferior. For that matter he thought that all races were inferior, but especially the people of Jewish decent. Hitler got the idea in his mind that we need to make the world a better place and make it only full of a race that is superior, and the way that he was going to do that was to exterminate the Jews and other people deemed inferior. This is called the Jewish holocaust. Of the nine million Jews recorded living in Europe at the time,

The Nazis came into power on the 30th of January, 1933. By that year Hitler had total control over the country. Hitler possessed a dominant presence and was able to get people to listen to him, he was very persuasive in making the Germans believe that the Jews were the problem of Germany. He vowed to use his skill in public speaking and his position in authority and gain political power the right way. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler believed that Jews were an inferior race, alien threat to German racial purity. Anti- Semites such like Hitler believed that the reason for their country’s loss in 1918 were the Jews. Many Jews were killed during the Holocaust, the Nazis tried to keep this operation a secret but was made virtually impossible due to the amount of

From 1933 to 1945, Germanyś government was led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. During this time, they carried out a method to onslaught all European Jews. Because the Germans placed themselves as the superior people, they decided that Jews would be punished only because of their religion/race. In Hitlerś eyes, the only way for survival was to be a part of the ¨master race¨. The ¨master race¨ was to always stay ¨pure¨ in hope that one day, they would take over the world.

It is important to teach the future generations the true events that occurred. Adolf Hitler’s reign in Germany will help describe the major effect of the gas chambers, death camps, and Nazi propaganda to the Jewish people during the mid-1900s. Documented by Eleanor Ayer, Adolf Hitler became a notorious dictator from 1934 to 1945 (1998, p. 3). After World War II, Hitler became more involved in invading neighboring countries. Because he thought the war was caused by Jews, he lead the largest massacre that many people are aware of.

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.

There was little, if any economic gain; in fact, one would think that the Holocaust brought economic loss to Germany because Jews owned a greater majority of the shops at the time. The Jews represented absolutely no threat to the German nation, nor to the Nazi party as a whole (Judy 1). The rational nature of its execution, its efficiency, calculability, predictability and control are even more inhumane in that every extermination system was planned to kill as many Jews as possible, as fast as possible. This methodical slaughter of 11 to 12 million human beings began in late 1938 and ended in 1945. Of the approximately 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, more than half were systematically exterminated in the inhumane death traps, such as furnaces and gas chambers, of the Nazi Death Camps between 1942 and 1945 (History 1).

Horror struck on January 30, 1933, when Germany assigned Adolf Hitler as their chancellor. Once Hitler had finally reached power he set out to complete one goal, create a Greater Germany free from the Jews (“The reasons for the Holocaust,” 2009). This tragedy is known today as, “The Holocaust,” that explains the terrors of our histories past. The face of the Holocaust, master of death, and leader of Germany; Adolf Hitler the most deceitful, powerful, well spoken, and intelligent person that acted as the key to this mass murder. According to a research study at the University of South Florida, nearly eleven million people were targeted and killed. This disaster is a genocide that was meant to ethnically cleanse Germany of the Jews. Although Jewish people were the main target they were not the only ones targeted; gypsies, African Americans, homosexuals, socialists, political enemies, communists, and the mentally disabled were killed (Simpson, 2012, p. 113). The word to describe this hatred for Jewish people is known as antisemitism. It was brought about when German philosophers denounced that “Jewish spirit is alien to Germandom” (“Antisemitism”) which states that a Jew is non-German. Many people notice the horrible things the Germans did, but most don’t truly understand why the Holocaust occurred. To truly understand the Holocaust, you must first know the Nazis motivations. Their motivations fell into two categories including cultural explanations that focused on ideology and

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

Adolf Hitler who's ethnocentrism and prejudice towards anyone or thing that was not of the superior German race had to be destroyed in the name of Nazism [totalitarianism]. After the war Adolf Eichmann, who was found guilty of having played a major role in ordering the deaths of millions of Jews, following a decade of persecution. Imprisonment, and genocide, such as those who had survived "The

In the late 1920’s- 1930’s, the whole economy collapse which result many people lose their job, starvation and money become devalued. German people were not satisfied Weimar Republic. Therefore, people choose Fascism government, a system of government with centralized authority under a dictator. Hitler Adolf successfully improve the economy but not in a moral way. He forced people to work by created the result he wanted to get. Although people were not favored the system they lived in, but it made them have a stable food resources. Hitler united all the German by nationalism and blame all the Jews because they were not superior race. The target he want to murder all the people, except aryan people which had blue eyes and blonde hair. His specific goal is to eliminate all the Jews in the world.The definition of Jewish people were the people who have one Jewish grandparent were defined as Jews. If you don’t have enough evidence to prove your grandparents were not Jews, then you are defined Jewish people. Hitler was effectively conquered the land of Europe until he committed an error that drove his military fail, which was not ready for the cool climate and large size of Russia. The season of Hitler fall and it likewise speak to the German

To begin, before the initiation of WW2, Hitler enforced extremely strict policies on the country of Germany. For instance, Hitler emphasized amongst the population, a clear divide between those who were Volksgenossen (pure German blood) and Gemeinshcaftsfremade (outsiders) (Adolf Hitler: Man and Monster). Visible distinctions were forced to be worn by the latter group such as the Star of David on those who were Jewish (Adolf Hitler: Man and Monster). The divide amongst the population was created mainly due to antisemitism which was extremely prevalent throughout the time. For example, Jewish people were blamed for Germany’s loss in WWI and in return, their businesses were boycotted, those who were lawyers got disbarred from practicing and their German citizenship was revoked (Adolf Hitler: Man and Monster). Additionally, police
