Recommended: Adolf hitlers early years in life

The Holocaust is something that when looked upon in history is looked upon with shame by all. Most find it hard to believe that one man was capable of all this hate and anger. For some one to lead these crimes against humanity there must have been events that happened to him to make him so cold. Which leads us to our topic question of why did Hitler order the killing of millions? Many will look back to his troubled child hood where they think he gained many of his anti-semantic views. Hitler is viewed by most as one of the world's most evil person's of all time, but you have to remember at one time this man was envied and followed by a whole nation.

Hitler's childhood is something that can be looked upon as the root of all his problems. His farther was one of the main causes as to all of Hitler's serious mental problems; he was a very abusive and strict man. Most of his father's abuses were taken out on his older brother who was 13 at the time; this caused him to run away, leaving Hitler as the next in line. His fathers had also just retired from his job at Austrian civil services which left him a lot of time at home around Adolf. The quote "the oldest boy, Alois Jr., 13, bore the brunt of his father's discontent, including harsh words and occasional beatings. A year later, at age 14, young Alois had enough of this treatment and ran away from home, never to see his father again." This put young Adolf, who was only 7 at the time, next in line for the same treatment. This proves the point that Hitler and his brothers were all victims of an abusive father; this was one thing that could have contributed to his radical views and hate for others. Hitler's father had continually expressed loyalty to the Hapsburg Monarchy, perhaps unknowingly encouraging his rebellious son to give his loyalty to the German Kaiser. There were also other things in his childhood that also affected Adolf in many ways.

Another event in his childhood that affected him for life was when one day, Hitler went rummaging through his father's book collection and found several of military books, including a picture book on the War of 1870-71 between the Germans and the French.

    If Hitler and the Germans weren’t so concerned about killing the Jewish people, why would they kill? millions of them for no reason? The evidence shows “Nazi racial doctrine defined Jews as ‘race defilers’ who schemed to destroy the Master race through intermarriage and seduction” (Judge and Langdon, Connection A World History, 793). This idea was obviously just an excuse to the Germans; the German leader hypnotized them all. They went through ridiculous, unnecessary actions, just so they can kill innocent people.

    While Hitler's hate was the main reason for Holocaust, we are not sure why it was allowed to go on to the death of most the Jews and the others that Hitler hated. Hitler was helped in his planning of Holocaust by the fact that discrimination against Jews was acceptable in Germany and few spoke out against it, but that is not a complete answer. We must look instead to the fact that the Nazi general beliefs permeated all things of life in Nazi Germany until there was no one left to protest against Holocaust.

  • Indifference toward the Holocaust

    859 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Holocaust occurred over an extended period of time, causing irreversible physical and mental abuse. It happened over many years as part of a deliberate step by step process masterminded by Hitler. One of the first things that people began to see and eventually believe was propaganda. The idea of propaganda was to get people to believe something by showing illustrations that share ideas. Generally those ideas were negative or misleading, and if someone is exposed to propaganda enough, then they are more likely to begin to believe it. Hitler knew that using propaganda would be a way to influence the people of Germany into believing that Jews were horrible and needed to die. Hitler’s mean tactics not only diminished the Jews, but also kept people in fear of their life and lives of their loved ones and therefore ready to obey his rules. When people are scared for their lives… they will do crazy things. According to A Teacher’s Guide to the Holocaust “Propaganda relies on emotion rather than on logic, concentrates on a few points which are presented in simple terms, and then hammers those points ...

    Adolf Hitler, who was the leader of the Nazis, was born in Austria just across the border from German Bavaria. Hitler would begin to read his fathers history books about Native Americans and how they were slaughtered along with reading about battles between the Germans and Russians. This would make him familiar to racism at an early age. Hitler did not get along with his father when he was young because his father wanted him to get into politics and he like drawing instead, but he still got into art and the reason he started to hate Jews is because he could not sell his artwork but the Jews did (Shirer 3-14).

  • Was Adolf Hitler A Psychopath Or Evil Genius?

    1181 Words  | 3 Pages

    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

    He blamed the Jews for World War II and even went as far to say that, “It was desired and instigated solely by those international statesmen who were either of Jewish descent or worked for Jewish interests.” He never took responsibility for his actions and claimed that he had no choice but to oblige in the war in 1939. While, in reality he instigated World War II . Also, on September 1, 1939, he was given an ultimatum by Great Britain and France. Adolf Hitler was given the chance to either withdraw his German army from Poland or Great Britain and France would declare war on Germany. As well as that he was the reason why many Jews were beaten and murdered. He had them brought to concentration camps for “protective custody.” He implemented laws to restrict where they could reside, if they could interact with Germans, and etc. He inflicted a lot of pain on innocent people because he despised them. In “Mein Kampf”, he discussed the cause of capitalism and socialism, modern art, pornography, anti-nationalism of the press, and his own failures was due to Jews. He stressed, “My love for my own people increased correspondingly. Considering the satanic skill which these evil counselors displayed how could their unfortunate victims be blamed?.... The more I came to know the Jew, the easier it was to excuse the workers.” Like again, he blames Jews to justify his atrocities. In addition, he murdered “imperfect” or “impure” people because he wanted to create a master race. He wanted to make a generation of young Aryans who would rule the would. He idealized them to be physically fit and obedient. To cleanse society from those that didn 't fit his ideology, he had them eliminated. So, that he would be able to create a new Germany and restore their former glory.
