Hitler’s hatred for the Jews is legendary. Anyone in America you talk to will know who Hitler is, if not his whole life story. What comes to mind when thinking about Hitler is how he killed over 10 million people during the holocaust in death camps. Most people do not stop to think why Hitler hated the Jews or how he became that way. Hitler went through a lot of hardships in his childhood and Word War One that sparked his hatred for the Jews.
On April 20, 1889 at 6:30 PM little Adolf Hitler drew his first breath. He was born to Alois and Kara Hitler. Alois was a civil servant and Kara stayed at home. In 1895 Adolf stayed six months in front of a Benedictine monastery. The monasteries coat of arms was the swastika, which Hitler eventually adopted as the Nazis sign (Adolf Hitler’s Childhood). The monastery intrigued and influenced his desire to become a priest. When Hitler started secondary school in 1900 he wanted to become an artist, but his dad wanted him to be a civil servant (Reams). In 1903 Hitler’s father died of pleural hemorrhage removing the pressure to become a civil Servant (Adolf Hitler’s Childhood). He quit school at the age of sixteen and moved to Vienna in 1906. He lived off his fathers’ inheritance and an orphan’s pension, but was broke by 1909. He wandered Vienna as a homeless person, sleeping somewhere new each night (Adolf Hitler’s Childhood). It was this time when he began harboring his hatred for Jews. Surprisingly enough, two of his best friends were Jewish and he was jealous of Jewish art dealers and performers (Reams). Hitler’s childhood is crucial to understanding why he was such a hateful man in his adulthood.
After Hitler’s devastating childhood, he decided to join the war effort. Strangely, Hitler li...

...ntil 1945 the holocaust proceeded. After 1945 Hitler’s plain went down hill. He was losing the war and his death camps were being liberated. He decided to end his life with his new wife Eva Braun. They both took cyanide pills, then Hitler shot himself in the right temple (Adolf Hitler the Holocaust). Thus ended the reign of Hitler.
No one knows for certain why Hitler hated the Jews, but it is a good guess to say World War One and his childhood made him the way he was during World War Two. Hitler will always be looked at as evil, mentally unstable, and racist but I think he could have turned out a great person if born under different circumstances. He had the qualities to be a general in the army or president of the United States! I am not saying Hitler was a great guy, but I think anyone could have turned out the way he did if we had to walk a mile in his shoes.
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.
Alot of people ask today “What exactly was Hitler’s obsession with the whole “Superior Race”?” Hitler did not invent the hatred towards Jews. Hitler grew up in Vienna where the Mayor was extremely anti-Semitic and where hatred of Jews was widespread. One of the most important reasons for Hitler’s deep seated obsession for the Jews was that he thought of them as an inferior. In his speeches and conversations, Hitler passionately stated his belief that the Germans were the descendants of the mighty Aryan race. He firmly believed that it was the destiny of his race to rule the world. Other races like the Jews were to be their servants. As time went on this hatred eventually became his belief that the Jews should be killed and their entire race ought to be wiped out.
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.
Hitler’s rise to power before World War II was due to his anger at Germany’s defeat in World War I and the punishment Germany received from Britain and France. He also directed his anger at Jews and communists he believed contributed to that defeat. He blamed them for the loss of World War I, which he thought was a Jewish conspiracy (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 1). He also believed that the Treaty of Versailles was a Jewish conspiracy designed to take down the country of Germany (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 1) as well as the hyperinflation of 1923, which he believed to be an international conspiracy by the Jewish people (Jews in Nazi Germany pg. 2). On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany (The History Place: Holocaust Timeline pg. 1). This was the rise to power that he needed to carry out his campaign of evil against the Jewish people. After his rise to power, Hitler branded the Jews as
There is no one reason that Adolf Hitler started the Holocaust. What we do know is that all the reasons and theories came together to create one of the worst atrocities in history, the genocide of six million Jewish people. There are many theories but none any greater than anti-Semitism which has plagued the Jews since the crucifixion of Jesus. Another theory is that Hitler blamed Jews for the economic state of Germany after World War I. There
Hitler had many things against the jews. These are a few reasons. First of all he felt as if they were responsible for World War 1. Antisemitism was also a big thing. Antisemitism was a huge part of the reason why Hitler hated the jews, this is because he didn't see them as people he didn't see them as any race. Hitler hated everything about the jews. He wanted to create what he called the master race. He would spare all caucasian people of nordic descent. Hitler felt like the jews did not conform to this policy. He was mad because during the depression the jews were not as poor as others. He was depressed when Germany lost World War 1 and he kept on hearing rumors over and over again that the jews did it and he started to believe it. He believed
Hitler had a hatred for Jewish people, the roots of his anti Semitism are unclear. When Hitler came to power he almost immediately began to strip Jewish people of any kind of rights.
Support for the Nazi party was due to the growing belief that it was a
Centuries later and the name Adolf Hitler still rings volumes till this present day: discussed in history books, talked about amongst intellects and commoners alike, and despised by many for years to come. Upon hearing his name many may think of all the negative things Hitler has done, but few fail to analyze just how one man created such controversy amongst a nation without being stopped. The question then lies how does a man reign over country and devastate it for years to come? Adolf Hitler, a man who excelled in persuasion and charisma was able to reign over Germany for years. Born in Austria April 20th 1889, Hitler grew up with many hardships in his life.
Every person has their own opinion on Adolf Hitler, but some do believe he was a good man. He did very terrible things that didn’t even need to be done, and ruined many lives. I have always wondered what could lead Adolf Hitler to want to do such terrible things to such innocent people and destroy so many lives. Only serial killers could find joy in killing a person because it gives them a rush. Once they feel that rush they want to feel it again and again. That’s what leads them to keep going and doing it over and over. Hitler’s mind was like a serial killers mind. He was so okay with going into other countries and destroying them and killing whoever came in his way. What does that have anything to do with the Jews? They were simple people just living their lives and he needed a target to make his campaign stronger. A Psychopath would kill 6 million Jews to make sure they can have what they
...one significant address open to question. Why would Hitler do such ghastly things, and how could his psyche uncovered doing these. Well Hitler as a young person had an exceptionally rough life. He was beaten as a youngster by his father. A great deal of his kin kicked the bucket. He was dropped out of school on the grounds that he missed so much school and got behind. To top everything of he battled his heart out in war, soon after he couldn't battle any longer, he heard that Germany surrendered. He was a very discouraged man. So one ought to acknowledge what happen in his life before they attempt and make sense of anything that happen. It is not a reason for his repulsive movements, yet may clarify why he did what he did. This horrible disaster has numerous things numerous individuals don't comprehend, for them to comprehend they have to research the Holocaust.
It was Hitler’s ability to make group identity salient within the Aryan German population, the transformation of his ideas to ideology, and his deep hatred for the Jews that ultimately led to the Holocaust. Although Anti-Semitism was already present within German society before Hitler rose to power, he was the actor that enacted policies against Jews and what ultimately led to the Final Solution
Many people before the Holocaust, and before Hitler, still hated the Jews. But Hitler made it his goal to kill this imperfect race.“Born in Austria,Hitler served in the German army during World War One.”( The Holocaust) To him the Jews were an inferior race the needed to be eliminated. He thought that by using anti-semitism he would become more popular with the crowd. “While imprisoned, Hitler wrote,
...horror in 1945. Hitler then committed suicide with his wife, Eva Braun, on April 30, 1945. Hitler shot himself and Eva took cyanide along with all of their children. This tragic event claimed the lives of six million Jewish men, women, and children. It also affected more than just Germany. It affected Russia, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Greece, Poland, Czech Republic, and also Germany. Plus Israel was created as a place for all the Jewish homeless people to live.
Hitler had thought that the Jews did not believe in the “right” thing so he tried to eliminate the race. He did not want them to believe in what they did and still do. He thought that the Jewish race was inferior and did not mean anything. The way that Hitler treated the Jews were crimes against humanity and I know that many non Jews saw that but did...
