Recommended: a essay on the holocaust

During the Holocaust six million Jews died at the hands of a despicable man; Adolf Hitler. While many perished in the extermination camps, malnutrition, disease, execution and medical experimentation were other methods of the Jews annihilation. In 1933, before WW II there were approximately nine million Jews living in Germany. By the end of WW II six million Jews had died. In this paper the researcher will attempt to give accurate accounts as to how Adolf Hitler came to power, why he killed innocent people, and where the carnage began. The researcher will attempt to accurately show when the Holocaust began and who was affected by one man and his follower’s beliefs of their superiority over others.

The Jewish people have always been victims in one sense or another; it would seem that whenever something went awry they were the ones to be held accountable. It seems the Jews have been persecuted for the problems of the world even when they have committed no wrongdoing. The most horrifying account of Jewish persecution is the Holocaust, which took place from 1933 to 1945. During the Holocaust, Adolf Hitler sought to eliminate all the people that he felt was inferior to the Germans, namely the Jews, and believed in doing so he would create a pure Aryan Nation which other countries could not match.

On January 30, 1933 Adolf Hitler who was part of the National Socialist Party also known as the Nazi Party, was appointed Chancellor of Germany. He quickly transformed the Weimar Republic into the Third Reich, a single party dictatorship based purely upon totalitarian and autocratic ideology of Nazism (Wistrich, Robert, 2003). Hitler yearned for a pure Aryan State, a country that in his ideology would be a superior race to the r...

  • Conditions of the Concentration Camps During the Holocaust

    Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 and his sudden control over Germany sparked a new age of reform within the new “Nazi-state” (Hunt 848). As Nazism became a major aspect of everyday life in Germany, Hitler plotted against his enemies and those he blamed for Germany’s defeat in World War I: the Jewish race. In his biography, Mein Kampf, Hitler discusses the artistic, social, and technological superiority of Germany (“Aryans”), why he believes the Aryans are the ultimate dominant human race, and he makes many anti-Semitic remarks against the Jews. (Lualdi 224). In 1935, the “Nuremberg Laws” were enacted to deny Jewish Germans of their citizenship; this ultimately led Hitler to carry out his “Final Solution,” in which he hoped to fully exterminate the Jewish race from all of Europe (Hunt 864). After gathering the Jews from their “ghettos” and forcing them into concentration camps all across Europe, Hitler and his Nazi advocates began one of the most destructive and horrifying genocides in history, known today as the Holocaust. Only after being introduced to the conditions of these concentration camps, the hatred and abuse put towards the Jewish, and the gruesome lifestyle they were trapped into living can one understand why the Holocaust affected so many as it did. What exactly were the conditions of these camps, and how did a few lucky survivors prevail while their friends and families perished?

    On 30 January 1933, the German president, Paul von Hindenburg, selected Adolf Hitler to be the head of the government. This was very unexpected. Hitler was the leader of an extreme right-wing political party, the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party. Hitler sought to expand Germany with new territories and boundaries. Hitler also focused on rebuilding Germany’s military strength. In many speeches Hitler made, he spoke often about the value of “racial purity” and the dominance of the Aryan master race. The Nazi’s spread their racist beliefs in schools through textbooks, radios, new...

Following the conclusion of World War 1, the treaty was signed, and it caused an economic crisis, debts, and strikes (“The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 2”).

Hitler’s reign of tyranny against the Jews was only beginning. Jewish men, women, and children were forc...
