Final Solution
“The Final Solution” was a plan during the time of early 1930’s and 1940’s from the Nazi Party. This plan was a plan to expand Germany and destroy all of the Jews and make the world a German world. The Germans took on the whole world and almost won, except for some brutal mistakes they made. Hitler took over Germany and made it into a super power in less than 15 years, which is one of the best turn arounds in World History
The origin of “The Final solution” is unknown because it was thought up by multiple people over a long period of time. The origin of the "Final Solution," the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jewish people, remains uncertain under the rule of Adolf Hitler. The "Final Solution" was implemented in stages. After the Nazi party rise to power, state-enforced racism resulted in anti-Jewish legislation and finally the "Night of Broken Glass" pogrom, all of which aimed to remove the Jews from German society. After the beginning of World War II, anti-Jewish policy evolved into a comprehensive plan to concentrate and eventually annihilate European Jewry. They did this by setting up ghettos and concentration camps throughout the land of Germany. There were many concentration camps, but the biggest one, Autawitz, was the worst, because it killed millions of Jews in so many unthinkable ways.
Hitler’s rise to power was very fast in Germany because the people of Germany were very annoyed with the current leader because he lost the war for them and the country was put into massive debt because of it. It is so weird the way that Hitler got into power, he used democaracy to get into the office, but as all fasist leaders do, they wiped out democracy once they are in, so that they re...

...nt lines to protect his troops when in battle. There is no way he would have ever let them live with the countries that he took over freely because of his hatred for them. If he didn’t have a hatred for them however, the war wound not have been as much a faliure in the later years in my opinion, because he put so much troops and money around the concentraion camps that could have been going to the troops on the front lines. Some people say that he did better in the war because of all the goods the jews produced, but in reality not much work got done in these camps. There was so much death and diasese in these camps

“The Final Solution” was the horrible plan to kill all the Jews, all thanks that it didn’t happen goes to the soliders that fought then. Mass Genocide probabally will never happen again because of what when down in Germany almost 70 years ago.

    The phrase “Final Solution” referred to their plan to annihilate the Jewish population. This plan stated that all European Jews would be killed by shooting, gassing, or any way necessary (Final Solution). The article “The Wannsee Conference and the Final Solution,” documented that on January 20, 1942, the Nazis and Germans met to tell the non-Nazi Leaders what the Final Solution was, and that they were responsible for helping to get the Jews transported to the camps. The Final Solution was not the beginning for the elimination. This was already being accomplished by mobile killing squads that would shoot any Jewish men, women, or children. Later, on July 22, 1942 the gassing chambers were finished in the extermination or death camps. Camouflaging the chambers as large showers, the Jews would think they were going to bathe, when they were actually being gassed to death

  • The Holocaust's Effect on the German Jew

    Adolf Hitler came to power over Germany in January of 1933. He hated Jews and blamed them for everything bad that had ever happened to Germany. Hitler’s goal in life was to eliminate the Jewish population. With his rise to power in Germany, he would put into action his plan of elimination. This is not only why German Jews were the main target of the Holocaust, but why they were a large part of the years before, during, and after the Holocaust. Hitler’s “final solution” almost eliminated the Jewish population in Europe during World War II. At the end of the war and along with his suicide, the Jewish population would survive the horror known as the Holocaust and the Jews would eventually find their way back to their homeland of Israel as well as find new communities to call home.

  • Adolf Hitler

    In the Summer of 1941, Adolf Hitler started exterminating Jews and other non-Aryans, as a part of his plan to create a perfect Germany and to carry out his ‘Final Solution’ to the ‘Jewish Question’. Before exterminating 6,000,000 Jewish people, Adolf Hitler had already performed several actions which singled out the Jew as an evil person and one who should be killed. In 1923, Hitler was caught while trying to overturn the Bavarian government and was imprisoned for 5 years. In prison, he wrote the famed autobiography, Mein Kampf, in which he stated his first publicly known anti-Semitic beliefs and his ‘Final Solution’ to the ‘Jewish Question’. While imprisoned, there was a worldwide depression as economic markets crashed worldwide. This would help Hitler because once out of prison he would use this to help gain power both for the Nazi’s and for himself politically by promising better things to come in the future. In 1933, while preaching in front of a large Nazi crowd, Hitler used the Jews as scapegoats for Germany’s loss in World War One. “If at the beginning of the War and during the War twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corrupters of the people had been held under poison gas, as happened to hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers in the field, the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain.'; Many people were upset at the loss, and blaming the Jews made many people anti-Semites. Once he was named chancellor in 1933, Hitler preached about creating a Germany for true German people and a more centralized Germany. This included eliminating those who were non-Aryans and/or non-German. He would later detail about what a true German was in the Nuremberg Laws. He stated that Jews were not really Germans but instead, they were non-Aryan, and they were malignant tumors.

    The Holocaust is one of the most horrifying crimes against humanity. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population. He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." (Bauer, 58) One of his main methods of exterminating these ‘undesirables' was through the use of concentration and death camps. In January of 1941, Adolf Hitler and his top officials decided to make their 'final solution' a reality. Their goal was to eliminate the Jews and the ‘unpure' from the entire population. Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp that carried out Hitler's ‘final solution' in greater numbers than any other.
