Today you probably hear that almost, hopefully everybody, thinks Adolf Hitler is an evil man. Hitler was an evil man, because he made many lives miserable by killing millions of people during the Holocaust.
The Holocaust occurred from 1933 to 1945. The National Socialist (Nazi) party was in power in Germany. During the Holocaust, over 6 million Jews were killed! Nazis adipted a policy called the “Final Solution”. It’s goal was to kill all Jews in Europe. By the time the Nazis were defeated in 1945 they had killed over 6 million Jews. The Nazi’s also murdered homosexuals, disabled people, and people with different political views.
Alot of people ask today “What exactly was Hitler’s obsession with the whole “Superior Race”?” Hitler did not invent

Some people have never heard of her. Anne Frank was a girl who was raised during the Holocaust. She had a diary her father had given her and somebody found it. They learned all types of stuff about the Holocaust, and what happened during that time. Anne Frank and her family were German Jews. When Hitler came to power in 1933, they fled to the Netherlands. In 1940, the Nazi’s invaded the Netherlands. Two years later, they started to deport Jews to camps. Anne Frank’s family hid in a secret annex above her father’s office. They had to remain hidden and stay quiet at all times. Some office people would bring food and other things to them. Two years later, the Nazi’s discovered the families. Only Anne Frank’s father survived the camp and the Holocaust.
In June 1944, the Nazi’s started to lose the war. In January 1945, Soviet Soldiers reached Auschwitz. They freed the few prisoners who were still alive. In April, British and United States troops freed the survivors in Buchenwald, Belsen, and Dachau camps. In May, the war in Europe finally ended. All together the Holocaust killed over 11 million people. About two-thirds of the Jews of Europe died in the Holocaust. The people who were most likely to survive were rich people. No one really knows how many Jews survived the

She was a hidden child. She is now married and has six children. “Belgium was supposed to be a neutral during the war, but Adolf Hitler ignored that and invaded Belgium. There was movement where you could inquire about hiding Jews… hiding children and my father did that. He had a place for my brother to go; he had a place for my sister to go, and he found this place for me, and he took me on the street car to a woman’s house for me. The reason I keep saying “this woman” is I do not know her name. The only people who knew her name were my parents. I was a little girl then. They took me to the house—my father actually—he brought me into the house, and that was the last time I saw my father. I was hidden for two years. I never went outside. I was not allowed to go outside because I didn’t belong to a family, and the woman who hid me sacrificed a lot to take me, because had the Nazi’s discovered she was hiding a Jew, whether it was a little girl or an adult it didn’t matter, they would have killed her on the spot, of course as well as me. I was allowed sometimes to go out in the backyard, but for the most part that was my home for two years. I was never mistreated- ever! But I also was never loved, and I really lost a great part of my childhood—simply because we were
The book Mein Kampf written by Hitler, explicitly states Hitler 's hate for the Jews. This hate is what led him to believe that it was his responsibility to create a pure country out of Germany, by excluding the other types of races and focusing on the Aryan race, which is what he believed to be the superior.This idea would later result in in the Holocaust. Although Hitler was an intelligent individual the scientific and cultural basis he uses to prove his beliefs are completely foolish, and the facts that he uses to differentiate the Jews and aryan races do not add up. Hitler 's views eventually laid the foundations of anti -semitism.
Regine Donner, a famous Holocaust survivor, once said, “I had to keep my Jewishness hidden, secret, and never to be revealed on penalty of death. I missed out on my childhood and the best of my adolescent years. I was robbed of my name, my religion, and my Zionist idealism” (“Hidden Children”). Jewish children went through a lot throughout the Holocaust- physically, mentally, and emotionally. Life was frightening and difficult for children who were in hiding during the rule of Adolf Hitler.
The Holocaust represents 11 million lives that abruptly ended, the extermination of people not for who they were but for what they were. Groups such as handicaps, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, political dissidents and others were persecuted by the Nazis because of their religious/political beliefs, physical defects, or failure to fall into the Aryan ideal. The Holocaust was lead by a man named Adolf Hitler who was born in 1889, and died in 1945.
Hitler had many motives to why he did so. To Hitler Jews were maggots, a virus that had to be eliminated. He saw himself as the German Messiah doing God’s work by destroying the Jew. Hitler and the Nazis considered the Jew to be like the devil, wishing to dominate the world. When Hitler saw the image of a Jew, he saw an image of Satan. It wasn’t just Jews he wanted to destroy, but he saw the Jews as the main problem, and wanted to destroy them before they infected the entire world. He made himself the supreme racist. All he could think about was murder. He wanted one perfect race of people, all under one nation, with one leader, him.
The holocaust was a horrible time in Germany where millions of people were killed simply for not being Aryan. The group responsible for this was called the Nazis led by a man of the name Adolf Hitler. Hitler’s main target was the Jews, in fact the Nazis were responsible for the killing of 6 million Jews, which is known as one of the largest genocides ever. The way this was done was by taking the Jews to places called concentration camps where they would be kept, tortured and eventually killed by being put into gas chambers. The conditions of these camps were horrible. People had to sleep on top of each other and minimal food was supplied. The results of this was that people died by just being there because they caught a disease. Not only were the conditions bad but people were tortured, beaten and starved. The Nazis put a whole new meaning to the word cruelty. One of the cruelest things the Nazis did was use the Jews for experiments, where people were basically test dummies for Dr. Mengele, who was the head Nazi doctor and referred to as the “angel of death.”
In conclusion, Hitler had his anti-sematic views and had numerous reasons to detest the Jews. Hitler had a vision that Germany would one day have the perfect race; the Aryan race and that was Hitler’s primary focus when he was the ruler of Germany. Even though there were other factors that contributed such as lack of nationalism and stealing work from the “hard working Germans,” biology was the pivotal reason for the mass killing of Jews so that one day, Hitler could have the purest race in Europe.
The Holocaust originally began January 30, 1993 when Adolf Hitler Became the chancellor of Germany. Soon after Hitler accepted the part as chancellor, the wheels began churning in movement to start a horrible disaster; he secretly began to build up an army and weapons for Germany. The catastrophe, known as "The Holocaust," targeted a mixed bag of individuals, basically the Jewish race, slaughtering them in a few diverse ways. The Nazi’s were formed in 1933, they believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," and were "unworthy of life” they were also said to be the cause of Germany was severely handicapped after their defeat in World War I. In 1936 Hitler sent his German army, which was not very big or strong, into Rhineland, catching France and Britain off guard, due to the fact that they were not prepared for another war to start. According to the exploration of College of South Florida, pretty nearly eleven million individuals kicked the bucket during thi...
In 1933, Adolf Hitler, a leader of the Nazi Party, rose to power in Germany. The Nazi Party abused their power in many different aspects, which creating issues beyond Germany’s borders. This abuse of power lead to the horrific event we know today as the Holocaust. The Holocaust caused over eleven million deaths, with approximately one million of them being children. The Nazis targeted certain groups of individuals including Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, mentally or physically disabled, and anyone who did not agree with Nazi Party. The Nazi Party had excessive power, which was used to undermine the others below them. Out of all of the individuals who were targeted by the Nazis; the Jewish were the most discriminated against. Six million out of the eleven million executed were Jews. The journey of the Jews through a span of only fifteen years showed how one event in history could be so crucial. Jewish individuals’ lives took a toll for the worse as the Nazis rose to power.
January 30th 1933 was just the beginning of a long journey for many people from the cause of an ethnic conflict. This particular conflict known as the Holocaust was between two groups, the Nazis and the Jews. Jewish councils fought to protect the population; the Nazis killed the president of the Jewish council for not giving up a list of names. The Holocaust started off in Germany, but later spread all across Eastern Europe. There are different causes, goals, and steps taken from both sides in this conflict where many people were killed for being of a particular group.
The Holocaust was very different from all other genocides in history. This was not a result of government issues, a power struggle between two groups, a holy crusade, or an attempt to defeat an enemy to win. Instead, the Jews were murdered simply because they were Jews. The Nazi group believed that the Jews were inferior to most other peoples and sought to literally wipe them from the face of the Earth. Many people saw this as wrong and unjust, but there was still other people like, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi leaders who still looked at the Jews as somehow less human. When the Nazis came into power in the 1930’s, they began to round up the Jews, and send them to concentration camps. The number of Jews that they gathered up was imaginable. The Jews were forced to do hard labor in the camps. Others soon died or were later to “death camps”, as they were called.
The Holocaust was the persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime. The total amount of people murdered during this time was 11 million, with six million of those being Jews. Not only were adults murdered but approximately 1.5 million children were murdered as well. The destruction of 5,000 Jewish communities also occurred during this time. The word “Holocaust” comes from the Greek origin meaning, “sacrifice by fire”. Another word for this mass murder of six million Jews is “Shoah”. “Shoah” means devastation, ruin, or waste. The Nazis who led this persecution came to power in Germany in January of 1933. The Nazis saw the Jews as evil or cowardly and saw the Germans as hardworking, honest, and courageous. The Germans were destined to rule and the Jews were doomed to extinction. Not only were the Jews a target but Gypsies, the disabled, and some of the Slavic people were as well. The Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and it ended in 1945 when the Allies defeated the Nazis.
The Holocaust (or Shoah in Hebrew) was the annihilation of the Jewish population by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. The Jewish people were persecuted by Hitler and the Nazis before and during World War Two. The Nazis believed that the Jewish people were an inferior race and did not want them "contaminating Aryan blood". The Holocaust lasted for 12 years (January 30th, 1933 - May 8th, 1945) and was one of the most brutal events of the twentieth century. The Holocaust included the death and torture of almost 6 million Jews, as well as 5 million Gypsies, Poles, Russians, Jehovah's Witnesses, political prisoners and male homosexuals. The Holocaust was made possible due to anti-Semitism worldwide, isolationism politics, fear of the Nazis and the appeasement of Hitler by leaders of other countries.
...nd British troops began to invade Germany. Hitler’s Wife took poison, killing her-self, Hitler took some poison but it didn’t work so he shot his self. The other leaders that helped Hitler also killed their self’s so they didn’t have to do the time in prison for what they did. The American troops and the other troops found the bodies of these leaders and burned them to make sure they were long gone. But it wasn’t in a few days that the news that Hitler was dead came out to the public.
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...
...ering again. When the news got out about the events of the Holocaust most Germans claimed they where vaguely aware about the death camps. Claiming they where misinformed about the camps, but Hitler had a 93% vote for his actions by Germany. These actions didn’t go unnoticed after all had settled after WWII the search for German officers to be charged with war crimes had started the people didn’t want the actions of the people who tortured, killed, and slaughtered them to walk away free. Many of the German SS officers where arrested for war crimes and sentenced but few escaped. In my opinion Hitler made the Jewish people stronger they ended up conquering and moving past this hard time. There are many holocaust museums and monuments symbolizing what the Jews and other people went through. In my mind the holocaust has to be the most brutal and vile event in history.
