Government and Politics
Adolf Hitler was a jobless soldier in Germany after World War I. He joined the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or the Nazi Party, in 1919. He quickly became the party’s leader after demonstrating to be a powerful public speaker and organizer. The Great Depression had hit Germany’s economy hard because of war debts and dependence on American loans and investments. The German people also lacked confidence in their weak government. In addition, the treaty of Versailles caused widespread poitical discontent because it blamed Germany fo the war, forced them to pay reparations, and limited their military to 100,000 troops. In their desperation, Germans turned to Hitler as their last hope. The Nazis had become the

Hitler began to execute people that he found unfit to be a part of his “master race” At the center of the Nazi’s target were the Jews. More than half of the people killed during the Holocaust were Jews. They were blamed Germanys failures and Germans even believed the Jews were responsible for their loss in World War I. They were stripped from their German Citizenship, jobs, property, and they were forced to attach the Star of David onto their clothing I order to make it easier to identify them. The Jewish people attempted to flee the country but had trouble finding a country that would accept them. Later, the Nazis began to force Jewish people relocate to the ghettos, sealed off by barbed wire and stone walls. From there they were sent to concentration camps, also known as labor camps, where their life was a cycle of hunger, humiliation, and work that almost always ended in death. However, for Hitler, overwork, starvation, beatings, and bullets weren’t killing Jews fast enough, so he imposed his “final solution” and built 6 death camps where he would kill his victims using poison gas. These death camps were capable of killing 12,000 people a
The holocaust was the mass murder of 6 million European Jews by the German Nazi regime during World War 2. Adolf Hitler hated the Jews and blamed them for Germany losing World War I. He considered Jewish people to be less than human. Hitler also believed in the superiority of the Aryan race. Once he became chancellor of Germany, Hitler took away all of the Jews rights as human beings. Hitler forced the Jews to live in ghettos. The Jews would be transferred to concentration camps, where they would do hard labor. The Jews died in the concentration camps by diseases, starvation, or the cold. Some camps had gas
They would go into the towns and take a bunch of men, women and children. They took gypsies and communist party leaders as well. They made the people give them their clothes and anything they owned that was valuable. After they did that they would take the people to fields or forests and kill them. On December 8, 1941, camps were made so the Nazis could put the Jews there. The biggest camp was Auschwitz, at this camp Jews had suffered. The Nazis would give them the littlest amount of food and water but made them do a lot of work. About 960,000 Jews, 74,000 poles, 21,000 gypsies and 12,000 other races died at this one camp. During all of this, a couple Jews were able survive and others went into hiding or just died. Some of the ones that went into hiding had Germans help them hide or the Germans offered them help. The Germans that helped disliked Hitler, they thought what he was doing was wrong and wanted to help the Jews, so they did. At the end of the holocaust around 6 million Jews, 7 million Soviets, 312,000 Serb Civilians, 250,000 people with disabilities, 196,00-220,00 Gypsies and 70,000 homosexuals
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
To hold the entire Nazi military accountable for the crimes committed during the Holocaust was implausible, so it was agreed that only high-positioned military officers and Nazi Party powers involved with the coordination of the Holocaust or those were directly involved in the genocide would be put on
After the otherwise embarrassing war, Hitler joined the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, most commonly known as the Nazi Party. His ability to manipulate the people by the means of charming them with
“The Holocaust also shows us a combination of events and attitudes can erode a society's democratic values.” In 1933,the three most influential people during the holocaust were Hitler, residents near the concentration camps,and the Nazi soldiers. The Holocaust is a very serious topic. The jews were sent to concentration camps while they did not know where they were going and how long till they will be there. These jews were being put to hard work and if they do not do it, they would get punished in major ways.
By gathering all the facts given by Holocaust survivors, Nazi Soldier’s confessions to their horrible crimes and the reliable documentation garden by the end of WWII; it concludes that Adolf Hitler did target the Jewish population and other minority groups by gathering them in concentrations camps and eliminating them by lethal chemicals. There is no person blinder than the one that refuses to see. Holocaust deniers are just focusing on there one true race and they cannot see they are targeting their failures on others. This world has only one race, it does not matter what we believe in as long as we do not hurt each other we can follow our own belief as an individual or as a group. Aldof Hitler’s hatred toward the Jewish community made him
The Jews were starved to death, shot down for the most pointless reasons, were put through all different kinds of torture. Those who survived were forced to work in labor camps, all because Adolf Hitler had a bone to pick with Jews. Adolf Hitler was a dictator who had 850,000 Nazis under his hand. He despised Jews, and used his forces to take Jews hostage and force them to work in concentration camps. Ironically enough, it is believed that Hitler may have had Jewish ancestry. He wanted to rid the world of Jews, creating what he believed to be a perfect civilization.
The Holocaust was the biggest genocide in history, with 13 million people dying, 6 million of them being Jewish. The Holocaust started in the early 1930s when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi soldiers came to power in Germany. The Nazis started to target the Jews with Adolf Hitler’s instruction. Then they started to torture the Jews with mass execution. Besides Adolf Hitler, the Nazi soldiers and the top SS officers were the most responsible for the Holocaust because the Nazis fulfilled the mass extermination orders without questioning anything, and the SS officers planned and executed the “Final Solution” for Adolf Hitler.
The Horrifying event all started when Germany appointed Adolph Hitler as their leader. The Holocaust began January 30, 1933 and lasted through May 8, 1945 (History 1). The Holocaust affected numerous of Jews and killed approximately 6 million (History 1). To blame for this uncivil act is Hitler and also the Nazis. The Holocaust was a very traumatic event that was a big reality check on how cruel humans can be to each other.
Hitler was a very powerful man who wanted to kill the Jew or anyone that got in his way. The other countries and the parents were worried about the children. The countries wanted to help out the Jewish children. Then they started a mission that would save many of the Jewish Children. This mission had saved many Jewish children from the holocaust.
The Holocaust was if not the biggest mass genocide in human history along with the dispersal of Jews, this significant event can show people that now later that history should not repeat itself but when you hear Hitler you think of this event, however he couldn’t have committed this much by himself without the Nazi’s and the SS officers, Besides Adolf Hitler, Nazi’s soldiers, and German army along with SS officers were the most responsible for the Holocaust because they implemented the “Final Solution” which was the mass murder of 6 million Jews. To begin with the Nazi Soldier’s and the German Army land forces component of the Wehrmacht, the regular armed forces of Nazi Germany, from 1935 until it effectively ceased to exist in 1945, they
The Holocaust was a time where millions of Jews were killed, and for what reason: their religion. Over time, the Holocaust has been taught throughout the world as a learning experience about the horrendous incident that occurred .The word "Holocaust" is from Greek, which means "sacrifice by fire”. The people who were responsible for such a horrendous event in history had to have the power and the ability to do something so appalling. The two most responsible for the Holocaust were Adolf Hitler who was the mastermind that guided the Holocaust, and the Top SS who were equally responsible because they fulfilled Hitler’s ghastly mission and goals for the Holocaust. In this essay i will prove that the two most responsible for the horrible event
During the 1930’s Germany was at an all time low as the worldwide economic depression hit Germany hard. The confidence in Germany from the people was lacking due to the fresh memory of their defeat in World War I. This caused great need of a new leader, someone who could give the people change, and Adolf Hitler knew he could do just that. His rapid rise to power began when he started to promise things that intrigued the German people. He promised the hopeless and needy a better life, and promised opportunities that were exactly what the people needed. This caught the attention of so many young unemployed and middle class people. His party, known as the Nazi Party, won 33 percent of the votes in the 1932 elections. And by January 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor, which was the head of the German government. Germany started to feel like they might've found the leader they'd been so desperate for.
When Hitler came into power he used his power to put jews people on the spot, he believed Jews were the one the to blame on why they lost the WWI. During pre-war times of WWII, Hitler targeted jews and his intention was to do everything that he could to ruin them. Jews were forced to wear the star of David on them at all time
