Adolf Hitler was an Austrian man who fought in World War I (WWI) as a German soldier. After Germany's defeat, Hitler tried to illegally take over the government. He was promptly arrested, and was sentenced to five years in prison. He only served nine months. In that time, Hitler wrote a book titled "Mein Kampf", whch translates to "My Struggle". In "Mein Kampf", he speaks of his ideas for Germany's future, which he titled the "Final Solution". After his release, Hitler joined the Nazi party, and a few years later, he controlled it. He slowly gained power in the German government, and in 1933, he was appointed chancellor of Germany. He eventually removed the position of president in Germany (after the previous president's death), which left Hitler as the sole leader of Germany. Hitler used persuasion and propaganda in his speeches to promote his anti-semitic views. He stereotyped the "undesirables" and erased suspicion from his name using these strategies. Hitler used his power in the German government to make laws that controlled what undesirables could do and where they could go. These laws, instituted in 1935, were titled the Nuremberg Race Laws. Over a span of eight years, Hitler amended the laws to be stricter and stricter. Jewish people had to register, and they lost businesses and homes. Jews could not marry any person with German blood, they had passports marked or taken, and they could not ride on public transport. In 1942, all Jews were required to wear the Star of David on their coats. The Nuremberg Race Laws took away their humanity and their individuality. All of these restrictions were completely legal because Hitler was given the authority to change the government.

We learn about the Holocaust so we can ensure that genocide never occurs again. No one should be killed or mistreated due to race, the way you live, or the way you look. We have to study the Holocaust and those it affected in order to understand the tragedy in its entirety. We remember those who struggled and lost their lives due to hate crimes and racism. Many people don't realize that hate crimes and racism are still present across the globe. We don't live in a perfect world. People are still dying due to the color of their skin and the way they look. People are still being stereotyped and are losing basic human rights because someone, somewhere doesn't believe they deserve to be free. If we don't study the past, we can't be sure it won't happen again in the future.
Adolf Hitler, born in 1889, is an Austrian born man who is known for his instigation and participation in the Nazi Political movement, or genocide, known as the Holocaust. Throughout his later life, Hitler spent the majority of his time organizing discriminatory laws that prevented Jewish citizens’ basic rights and ultimately their demise. However, before he advanced such laws and politics, he served as the Head of State, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, until he became the Fuhrer of Germany’s Third Reich which began in 1933 and ended in 1945 (Jewish Virtual Library). His actions were fueled by an unrelenting and strict hate for the Jewish community, better known as anti-Semitism, much like the vast majority of Eastern countries. Both
Did you know that even though Hitler had brown hair and blue eyes, his idea of a superior race was those with blond hair and blue eyes? He wanted this group of people to be superior to all other races because they represented a clean view of Germany. Hitler used his power to achieve this goal by enforcing many rules and creating many different projects. He wanted the people of Germany to believe that they were superior to all other races and they must do everything to maintain the standards of living in Nazi Germany. Adolf Hitler and his Nazis created the perfect race by influencing the education of children and creating bride schools, the Hitler Youth Program, and Lebensborn birthing homes.
So why do we study the Holocaust? Is it to know of Adolf Hitler's madness or know about a large part of World War II? I believe it is to know how to recognize and stop something like the Holocaust from ever happening again. It is like Edmund Burke said, "All tyrany needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." The Holocaust gained it's foodhold because we didn't know what was happening so we remained silent. A lot of the suffering and pain could've been prevented if we had simply realized what was going on. Another one of Edmund's quotes is that, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." That is why we must learn and know about the Holocaust so that we do not repeat our mistakes of the past.
...to prevent it from ever happening again. Because there is no doubt that there is someone as nuts as Hitler to try and kill a whole race. People should study the Holocaust as a whole to witness the distinguished disaster that was Earth at this point of time and make sure it will never happen to anyone ever again.
The years between 1933-1945 was a horrifying time period. We learn about the Holocaust to know and learn about how bad the past was and what people had to go through. People study the Holocaust to be educate and undertsand the past. The most important reason why we study the Holocaust is so that nothing as bad as the Holocaust was, happens again. According to Edmund Burke, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
The Holocaust began in 1933 when the Nazis instigated their first action against the Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses. The Nuremberg Laws went into place on September 15, 1935 which began to exclude the Jews from public life. These laws went to the extent of stripping German Jews of the citizenship and then implemented a prohibition of marriage between the Jewish and the Germans. These laws set the legal precedent for further anti-Jewish legislation. Over the next several years, even more laws would be introduced. Jews would be excluded from parks, fired from civil service jobs, required to register all property and restricted Jewish doctors from practicing medicine on any person other than Jewish patients.
We study history to learn from it. People make mistakes and it is not only our job, but our responsibility to learn from them so no one makes those errors again. What we learn from the Holocaust is what happens when you forget your morals and blindly follow others. We learn the horrible, tragic outcome of racism and discrimination. We learn that when good does nothing, evil takes over. We study the Holocaust because it is not only important, but essential that we do not repeat history.
The Nazi Party, controlled by Adolf Hitler, ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. In 1933, Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany and the Nazi government began to take over. Hitler became a very influential speaker and attracted new members to his party by blaming Jews for Germany’s problems and developed a concept of a “master race.” The Nazis believed that Germans were “racially superior” and that the Jewish people were a threat to the German racial community and also targeted other groups because of their “perceived racial inferiority” such as Gypsies, disabled persons, Polish people and Russians as well as many others. In 1938, Jewish people were banned from public places in Germany and many were sent to concentration camps where they were either murdered or forced to work.
...was a terrible war that nobody wants to ever happen again. It was really important to know the signs of it starting again like a country changing its' law like eliminating goverment postions so somebody has all the power. It is an amazing thing that we learn about the tragic events that took place in Europe. We also learn about the Holocaust because we don't want another world war. It would be tragic if we hand another world war that tore the world up. We also don't need another person doing the same exact thing Hilter did like creating laws discriminating many just because of their race or religon. So the main reason we learn about the Holocaust and all the other tragic event is to know how all the people around the world were effected in some way and if it did happen again it would also effect everybody right now. We also want to make sure it never happens again.
An austrian man by the name of Adolf Hitler who had served in the German Army during WWI, thought that Germans were better than others because of their DNA, and that all other races must be exterminated to create what he called a utopian society. After hearing of Germany's capitulation in WWI in a hospital recovering from a mustard gas attack, Adolf Hitler thought that he needed to gain control of the government to carry out his plans. In an attempt to overthrow to German government by force, Adolf was arrested. He was supposed to go to jail for five years; however, during his time in jail, he wrote a book called Mein Kampf, which means, My Struggles in english. The book was about Hitler's life, his ideas about cleaning up the bloodline, world domination/ utopian society, and how he was going to pull it off. He called it, "the Final Solution". Because of the money and popularity his book made, he got out of jail after a mere nine months. Once out of jail, he would be appointed to the position of chancelor by the president of Germany in 1933. From this position, he said that if the president died or resigned, he would become dictator. When the president died short after, he self-appointed himself to the position of dictator. Once he was dictator, he created the Neuremburg laws, which took away many of the Jew's rights. He also started calling the undesireables to death camps, which was the beginning of the Holocaust.
The Holocaust could be best described as the widespread genocide of over eleven million Jews and other undesirables throughout Europe from 1933 to 1945. It all began when Adolf Hitler, Germany's newest leader, enforced the Nuremburg Race Laws. These laws discriminated against Jews and other undesirables and segregated them from the rest of the population. As things grew worse, Jews were forced to wear the Star of David on their clothing. The laws even stripped them of their citizenship.
HItler created laws, named the "Nuremburg Race Laws," which set barriers on Jewish people. The laws would give all Jewish people a curfew and restricted them from using public transportation. Over time the Nuremburg Race Laws grew, they eventually restricted Jews form owning a business and seperated them from the rest of the country. They were forced to attend Jewish schools. These actions are very similar to the Jim Crow Laws in the United States during the period of segregation. The race laws Hitler created expanded to include more people including mentally handicapped, physically disabled, and colored people.
Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1989, in Braunau-am Inn, located near the Austrian-German border. Hitler dropped out of school at age 16 with the hopes of becoming an artist in Vienna. However, his goal of becoming an artist failed and he spent time in Vienna listening to Karl Laagers ideas, especially his belief in anti-semitism. enlisted in the German Army at the Start of World War One. During this time, Hitler served in the Bavarian Regiment, achieved the rank of Corporal, was primarily a message runner, and narrowly escaped death on several occasions. When Germany surrendered, Hitler was outraged and wanted to keep fighting. In 1919, Hitler joined the Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party (later to become the Nazi Party) and was in Charge by 1921. In 1923, they attempted to overthrow the German government and Hitler served a 9 month jail term. By 1933, Hitler had the support of the German people and was named Chancellor by President Hindenburg and Nazis had the most power in Parliament.
Adolf Hitler was a young Austrian man who adored the German way of life, he thought they were such strong people. Before Hitler became the ruler of Germany he was in prison for treason in April 1924. Though this was certantly an odd start for the soon to be ruler of Germany he made the most of it. While in prison Hiltler started composing a book, titled Mein Kampf or My Struggle. Upon discovering and reading of Hitler's book he was released early after serving only nine months of his five year sentence. Following his release Hitler pursued the position as the ruler of Germany.
Hitler came to power in 1933 with the help of his Nazi party. Hitler's anti-Jew campaign began soon afterward, with the "Nuremberg Laws" introduced in 1935, which defined the meaning of being Jewish based on ancestry. These laws also forced segregation between Jews and the rest of the public. It was only a dim indication of what the future held for European Jews. Anti-Jewish aggression continued for years after the passing of the Nuremberg Laws. One of these was the "Aryanization" of Jewish property and business. Jews were progressively forced out of the economy of Germany, their assets turned over to the government and the German public.
