    At a time of loss, the German people needed a reason to rebuild their spirits. The Jews became a national target even though Hitler’s theory could not be proven. Even as a Jew, he accused the Jews people for Germany’s defeat in order to rally the people against a group of people Hitler despised. The story-telling of the Jews’ wickedness distracts the Germans from realizing the terror Holocaust. Millions of Jewish people died because Hitler said they caused the downfall of Germany.

    From 1933 onwards, Adolf Hitler and his Nazis began implementing simple discrimination laws against the Jews and others who they did not see part of their master race. Hitler and the Nazis believed that German power was being taken by the Jews. Hitler was able to convince his followers of this issue with the Jewish question as it was known, and get away with murdering millions of people in an attempt to cleanse society of anyone inferior to the master race. The Holocaust lasted for 12 years, until 1945. Starting as early as 1944, the Allies were finally advancing on the Germans and began taking over their camps. These liberations and takeovers by the Soviets, American’s and other allies slowly began to remove Hitler from power. In my essay I will go into detail on the final years of the holocaust and how it ended.(1)

    During the summer of 1941, Chancellor Adolf Hitler initialized “The Final Solution'; to the “Jewish Question';. Hitler started this program because he wanted to create a highly centralized state and one for the master race, Germans. Exterminating Jews was, for Hitler, the only way to create a perfect Germany because it would eliminate the ‘malignant tumors’, the race that caused Germany to lose World War One. Hitler’s decision to start exterminating Jews changed the course of history. In the end, over 6,000,000 Jews were killed and a Jewish state known as Israel, evolved.

    The Jewish people were targeted, hunted, tortured, and killed, just for being Jewish, Hitler came to office on January 20, 1933; he believed that the German race had superiority over the Jews in Germany. The Jewish peoples’ lives were destroyed; they were treated inhumanly for the next 12 years, “Between 1933 and 1945, more than 11 million men, women, and children were murdered in the Holocaust. Approximately six million of these were Jews” (Levy). Hitler blamed a lot of the problems on the Jewish people, being a great orator Hitler got the support from Germany, killing off millions of Jews and other people, the German people thought it was the right thing to do. “To the anti-Semitic Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, an alien threat to German racial purity and community” (History.com Staff).

  • Adolf Hitler and The Holocaust

    1214 Words  | 3 Pages

    In 1933, Europe was going through a major change and not just the countries as a whole, but the minorities such as the Jews as well. In Germany Adolf Hitler, who was the leader of the National Socialist Workers Society (also known as the Nazi Party), was elected chancellor on January 30, 1933. On July 14, 1933, only 7 months after Hitler’s election, the Nazi Party became the only legal political party in Germany. Any known rebels would later be severely punished. Hitler was a very persuasive speaker, which made it easy for him to blame the Jews for many things. He began by blaming Jews for the economy crash that had happened in Europe at the time. Jews were fine on their financial ends and striving in business. Also at the time The Black Death was occurring. Many Europeans were dying for unexplained reasons whereas the Jews seemed to be healthier. These two factors made it very easy for Hitler to convince the German people that Jews were the center of their problems. He later moved on to other minorities as well claiming that the only good race was the Aryan race. Hitler even published a newspaper called the Der Strümer in which he would publish cartoons making funny of Jews and print at the bottom “Jews are our misfortune”. Things were changing in Germany under Hitler’s rule and not in a good way.

  • German Nazy Party: The Holocaust

    1224 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Holocaust was a state sponsored, systematic, mass genocide of around six million Jews that started in 1933. The Holocaust was initially fueled by the thought by the German Nazi’s that Germans with blonde hair and blue eyes were superior over any other group that did not match up to the Germans appearance wise.. With the Jewish people generally not fitting the so called perfect racial and physical criteria, Jews were persecuted by the Nazis. The Nazi leader , Adolf Hitler was the poster man of the campaign against the Jews. Hitler is well known for his “ toothbrush ” moustache and his responsibility of the Holocaust. Hitler and his fellow German leaders used the term “The Final Solution” to disguise their ultimate plan for total Jewish annihilation. To accomplish Hitler’s mission for Jewish extinction, Hitler had Jews taken to concentration camps that ranged from Germany and Poland to Ukraine and all the way back to France. Concentration camps served two main purposes. To dehumanize and to demoralize. Concentration camps were meant to make the Jewish people so desensitized and so fearful that they would never think to rise up in rebellion. Jews were taken to concentration camps for mainly three reasons alone. To be killed, to be laborers, or to be held before being killed. One particular camp in itself had over one million casualties, the same camp is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable and commonly talked about concentration camps even in the modern world today. That particular camp is known by the name of Auschwitz.

    Background When classifying the types of people involved in an event such as the Holocaust, three categorical groups can be distinguished. First, and easiest to assess are the perpetrators. This category includes people directly related to the horrors of the Holocaust. The second category encompasses victims; all of the people that were killed, discriminated against, or otherwise harmed by the perpetrators. The final category defines those who watched, witnessed, or were otherwise indirectly involved in the Holocaust, without being harmed by the perpetrators.
