During World War II, Nazi Concentration Camps were responsible for millions of deaths in a span of twelve years. Concentration Camps were places where people were kept as prisoners and forced to do heavy labor. Many people died from the heavy labor. When Adolf Hitler became the chancellor in 1933, the first concentration camps were built. The prisons served a big purpose during the Holocaust, they controlled many people (specifically Jews) and they killed them. The Holocaust was a mass murder of six million Jews and some other groups. There were a lot of concentration camps, with several major camps called Auschwitz, Belzec, and Chelmno. These camps lasted from Hitler’s appointment as the chancellor (1933) to the end of World War II (1945). He had a difficult childhood. His brother died and his dad also died later. His dad was a harsh man, and he did not approve his interest in art. Hitler had problems in school, and when he got older, he got rejected by art school 2 times.. He was very interested in German Nationalism, so he joined the German Army. A few years after the first world war, Hitler attempted to form a new government for Germany. So he crashed into a beer hall in Munich, he wanted to show his plans, but it failed.He was sentenced to jail because some people died in this attempt. When he was released from prison, he started working for Germany’s government. He also ran for president, ultimately finishing as the runner-up. Although he lost, the winner, Paul von Hindenburg, unwillingly agreed to appoint Hitler as the chancellor. The first concentration camp was built at Dachau, which was established two months after his appointment as chancellor. Hitler didn’t like Jews, he believed that they caused all evil and that Germans were the pure race. He soon had his own secret police, called The Gestapo. These secret police would arrest anyone, and they would send them to the concentration camps or interrogate them. The Gestapo specifically targeted Jews, Communists, Jehovah’s witnesses, homosexuals, educators, mentally and physically handicapped, and anyone who opposed the Nazi
Thousands upon thousands of innocent Jews, men, women, and children tortured; over one million people brutally murdered; families ripped apart from the seams, all within Auschwitz, a 40 square kilometer sized concentration camp run by Nazi Germany. Auschwitz is one of the most notorious concentration camps during WWII, where Jews were tortured and killed. Auschwitz was the most extreme concentration camp during World War Two because innumerable amounts of inhumane acts were performed there, over one million people were inexorably massacred, and it was the largest concentration camp of over two thousand across Europe.
The Holocaust was an extraordinary event that affected the lives of millions of people, including Elie Wiesel, and led to the death of many innocent lives. It all began when Adolf Hitler became Germany’s dictator in 1933. Hitler praised the German population and seemed to ban all other competing races, specifically the Jewish population in Germany. This hatred toward the Jews led to extreme discrimination. Hitler’s main goal was to lead the Jewish race out of the country through the establishment of harsh laws against them (Barrett). After having little effect, Hitler decided to force the Jews into political imprisonment which led to the creation of the first concentration camps in 1933. However,
The death camp was a terrible place where people where killed. Hitler is who created the death camp for Jews. The death camp was used for extermination on Jews. This occurred on 1939 – 1945. The death camps were in the country of Europe. Hitler did all this because he didn’t like Jews and the religions. The book Night is a autobiography written by Elie Wiesel. The poem called First they came for the communist written by Martin Neimoller is a autobiography.
Adolf Hitler had a very difficult childhood and did not have a good relationship with his dad. He had many losses in his life. For the years that he was homeless in Vienna it was at this time where he developed his hatred for Jews and started going to meetings about that and started to believe that Jews were the cause of everything that has happened around the Germany. During the World War I time he wanted to sign up and be in the army. But instead he was just a messenger for the World.
How do you judge the atrocities committed during a war? In World War II, there were numerous atrocities committed by all sides, especially in the concentration and prisoner of war camps. Europeans were most noted for the concentration camps and the genocide committed by the Nazi party in these camps. Less known is how Allied prisoners were also sent to those camps. The Japanese also had camps for prisoners of war. Which countries’ camps were worse? While both camps were horrible places for soldiers, the Japanese prisoner of war camps were far worse.
Adolf Hitler was born in Austria but later on became a German solider. He went to Germany after both his parents died, and after he was rejected from an art college. During WWI Hitler was injured twice. While he was in the hospital recovering, he found out that Germany lost the war, and he became furious. Once he got out, he joined the Nazi party and tried to overthrow the government. In the end, he was only arrested, but while he was in jail, he wrote his book, Mein Kamphf. Once he got out of jail he decided to politicaly take over. He did rallies and once everyone started to like him, he was elected Chancellor. He changed laws to make all of his future plans legal, and once the Headmaster of Germany died, Hitler became the most power. Everything he did was legal there. He made this plan called the Final Solution, that if any allied troops got into his strongholds, he would back out and take everyone down with him. This included the mass killing of almost all remaining jews. He only did this so he couldnt get charged with any crime, so there would be no witnisses, but that plan failed big time.
“Concentration camps (Konzentrationslager; abbreviated as KL or KZ) were an integral feature of the regime in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. The term concentration camp refers to a camp in which people are detained or confined, usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum).
As a young child, Adolf Hitler was treated poorly by his father, who died while Adolf was very young. He was an artist, and though he applied to the Academy of Fine Arts twice, he was rejected both times. Though he was Austrian, he regarded the Germans very highly, and when World War I broke out, he applied to serve in the German Army. He was injured twice in the war, and while he was healing from his wounds, he learned of Germany's capitulation. He was angered by both this and the Treaty of Versailles. He began to believe that Jews and other groups were responsible for this disaster. He was so upset, he organized a military takeover, which failed. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison, but while serving this term, he wrote the book Mein Kamf, or My Struggle. People in Germany were so desperate to be a world power again, so they decided to listen what what Adolf Hitler had to say. Due to this new interest in him, Hitler served only nine months of his sentence.
The first concentration camps were set up in 1933. Hitler established the camps when he came into power for the purpose of isolating, punishing, torturing, and killing anyone suspected of opposition against his regime. In the early years of Hitler's reign, concentration camps were places that held people in protective custody. These people in protective custody included those who were both physically and mentally ill, gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, Jews and anyone against the Nazi regime. By the end of 1933 there were at least fifty concentration camps throughout occupied Europe.
Being of military decent Hitler’s father ruled his home with an iron fist. This may have affected Hitler in more negative ways than normal. His father soon passed in his early adolescence and Hitler was raised by a single parent, his mother. In the beginning Hitler was not very interested in school he seemed disengaged, nonchalant and rebellious, his true passion lied in being an artist. Unfortunately with many failed attempts of entrance at the Art School Hitler’s hopes of ever becoming an artist remained a dream. Continuing life without formal education life was a little rough on Hitler. His beloved mother now diagnosed with a form of cancer and soon passed away too, Hitler was forced to survive by recreating scenes from postcards and living off the little pension he acquired from that.
In January 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany. He slowly started to take over the world. Adolf killed many people on his way to the top. This later caused the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a great destruction resulting in the extreme loss of life, especially by fire. Hitler and the Nazi's seperated people based on race and religion, which was then known as the 'Undesirables'. The undesirables were people who Hitler thought were not worth anything. All Jews were considered undesirables. During the Holocaust, the world enjured the murder of approximatley six million jews. No one cared about the jews so they were sent away to concentration camps to die....
Soon after Germany separated from Austria in March 1938, the Nazi soldiers arrested and imprisoned Jews in concentration camps all over Germany. Only eight months after annexation, the violent anti-jew Kristallnacht , also known as Night of the Broken Glass, pogroms took place. The Nazi soldiers arrested masses of male adult Jews and held them captive in camps for short periods of time. A death camp is a concentration camp designed with the intention of mass murder, using strategies such as gas chambers. Six death concentration camps exis...
The Holocaust was a terrible time for people who were a different race, or if you were Jewish. It started in Germany in 1933 by a man named Adolf Hitler when he came into rule, but ended in 1945 when the Nazis were defeated by allied powers of the Britain and America. The term holocaust can be translated into Hebrew and it means devastation or ruin. The Holocaust was a mass murder of about six million Jews during World War II, a systematic state sponsored murder for Adolf Hitler and the rest of the Nazis and they invaded German-occupied territories. Out of all nine million of the Jews who chose to live in Europe, about two-thirds were killed in the Holocaust. One million children, two million women and three million men were killed that were Jewish. There was a network of over 40,000 facilities in Germany and Germany-occupied territories were used to hold and kill Jews and other victims. Some scholars today argue that the murder of disabled people and the Romani should be included, and some use the common noun ‘holocaust’ to describe other Nazi murders including Soviet prisoner of war. The persecution and genocide were carried out in stages, like making laws. Various laws, like the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, were to exclude Jews from the civil society and enacted in Germany before the outbreak of World War II in Europe. Concentration camps were established in which inmates would work in slave labor until they died of exhaustion or disease. Whenever Germany conquered new territory in Eastern Europe, the Nazis murdered more than a million political opponents and Jews in mass shootings. Most of the Jews or Romanis that were found in overcrowded ghettoes were transported by freight trains to extermination camps and if they survived the j...
Excluding all the tragic things Hitler did, this shows life through his eyes. Adolf Hitler was a Nazi German leader who attempted genocide and was part of one of the worst wars, WWII. Hitler took up the role of initiating the Holocaust, which ended up in the death of numerous Jews. Hitler did not do particularly well in school, leaving formal education in 1905. Unable to settle into a regular job, he drifted.
During the late 1920s and early 1930s, Germany was experiencing great economic and social hardship. Germany was defeated in World War I and the Treaty of Versailles forced giant reparations upon the country. As a result of these reparations, Germany suffered terrible inflation and mass unemployment. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party who blamed Jews for Germany’s problems. His incredible public speaking skills, widespread propaganda, and the need to blame someone for Germany’s loss led to Hitler’s great popularity among the German people and the spread of anti-Semitism like wildfire. Hitler initially had a plan to force the Jews out of Germany, but this attempt quickly turned into the biggest genocide in history. The first concentration camps in Germany were established soon after Hitler's appointment as chancellor in January 1933.“...the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew.” –Adolf Hitler
