He single handedly sparked what we know as World War Two or as in Germany the Holocaust. What led to this devastation was the child-hood to the adult-hood, which drove his anger and hatred against the Jews; every event from adolescence to his young adult-hood corrupted his mind. Hitler’s child-hood was a confusing, and different one from the average child back then. Born in the Branau Amm Inn, April 20th- 1889. He grew up at his youngest a normal average young healthy boy, him and his father had a good connection father son wise, but one tragic event led to possibly a beginning of Hitler’s growing rage and anger.
The Holocaust shouldn't be forgotten because it changed history, it made people aware of tyrannous leaders, so we should study the Holocaust because it was a genocide that affected the world. More over, the Holocaust shouldn't be forgotten because it changed history. For example, when Elie got off the train, "Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky" (Wiesel, 34). This quote means that he saw children being burnt. This shows how history was changed because of the way people died, in the 1940's due to the way Germans wanted to execute non-Arians.
The Jews were not targeted for mass murder until 1941, eight years after the Nazis’ rise to power. During this time, the Nazis’ persecution of the Jews forced many Jews out of Europe, while the Vienna and Prague branches of the Central Office for Jewish Emigration were set up by Adolf Eichmann to expel Jews from Nazi-controlled areas. The expulsion of Jews out of Europe meant that they were letting their targets of mass genocide leave instead of exterminating them, and thus shows that the Nazis had never intended to wipe out the European Jewish population from the moment they came into power. Another indication during this time that the Nazis had not planned the extermination of Jews was the methods they used. At first, propaganda was used to alienate the Jews, before they were herded into ghettos or forced to work at concentration camps.
Therefore abstaining Hitler from having a grand design to put into effect. They deem Hitler to be more of an opportunist than a mastermind and that the eradication of the Jews became a convenient division of Hitler’s charming of the Jewish population. Extreme structuralists tend to believe that that Holocaust was initiated by the German bureaucracy, with Hitler having no place in its inception. They believe he merely capitalized on what would became an opportune occurrence for his winning over of the population. While Structuralists with a more passive view would believe that although effort was made by the Nazis to eventually remove all Jews from Europe, mass genocide was merely a last resort.
Mel Mermelstein mailed in a letter to the IHR about his provided a very detailed description of this time at Auschwitz and all of his observations and surroundings. When the IHR didn’t reply to Mermelstein, he filed a lawsuit. Judge Thomas T. Johnson decided that it was “a fact that Jewish Mino 3 were gassed to death at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland during the summer of 1944.” (Gottfried 49) In some countries in Europe, where the Holocaust occurred, have set some laws, put there foot down, frown upon the denial, or however you want to put it. It’s sad to deny the Holocaust in particular countries, because there is proof! Whether you want to believe it or not, is up to you,
Newly arrived prisoners were thrown into the cruel, hard, unfair, horrific world of camp life. The story of a dentist, Benjamin Jacobs, working at Auschwitz tells the horror of his daily life. (www.nizkor.org/features/dentist/chapter12.html) The excerpt from his story tells the dehumanizing he himself experienced: Traumatized, starved, and soaked with human waste, we looked to be the inhuman, useless creatures the Nazis had characterized us as being………….. One day the Kapo kept us outside in the cold rain for more than an hour. When we finally got back into the block, we were dripping wet. We hung our clothes around the room to dry.
Most of these victims were almost all unarmed and had no organized act of aggression against the German state or society, but were simply targeted because of their Jewish heritage. Most Germans under Adolf Hitler came to believe that the Jews were the cause of all the German troubles and were blamed specifically for the worldwide Great Depression and Germany’s defeat in World War I. The Jews, of course, had nothing to do with these accusations and some historians have even argued whether or not the Jewish people were nothing more but a scapegoat to whip Germany into a nationalistic frenzy. My essay will prove that Hitler used nothing more than concocted racist propaganda, pseudoscientific theories and manipulated science such as perverting Darwinism and Aryan racial superiority myths, to brainwash the German people in supporting his hatred for Jews; which in turn, the effect of propaganda, combined with the anti-Semitic feelings that already existed in Europe, resulted in widespread ridicule, violence, humiliation, and persecution of Jews. This eventually
Levi’s survival in Auschwitz which directed him toward his outstanding career as a chemist, compelled him to write numerous, informational books about the Holocaust, and led him to commit suicide at the age of sixty-seven. Primo Levi was born in the study of his apartment (“Primo Levi, Chemist and Writer,” 1) to a Jewish family on July 31, 1919 in Turin, Italy. (“Primo Levi.” http://en.wikipedia.org, 1) While being schooled, although writing seemed extremely crucial, Levi was never taught literature because
Yet during World War I Germany used concentration camps for prisoners of war to manufacturing war equipment, although in the beginning of World War II they were used for anyone who threatened the peace in Germans Reich. And eventually were used to use exterminate Jews for the “Final Solution” (Byers 20 ). Hitler would concentrate the Jews into camps where he would eventually kill them, the first Camp was in the outskirts of Dachau (Byers 22). Hitler decided to start moving the Jews to concentration camps when a sixteen-year-old Jewish boy assassinated a minor official in Paris. This caused the Germans to go on a murderous spree, they burned down one-hundred-ninety-one synagogues and one-hundred-ninety-one house and apartments.
