After joining, Speer’s knowledge in architecture earned him high places in the party and he quickly became quite close to Hitler. Speer soon became responsible for large roles and given short amounts of time to solve problems, he was chosen for these roles due to his technocratic attributes and his effectiveness to get things complete. As mentioned above Speer was responsible for many horrific accounts that happened at the time including slave labour and making the war last longer killing hundreds of thousands. When the Nazi’s lost Speer tried everything he could to look as innocent as possible and as well as admitting to what he had done and saying sorry for what he had done at the Nuremburg trials and because of this Albert Speer was soon labelled, “The Good Nazi”. The first to label Speer as “The Good Nazi” was Joachim Fest, who worked with Speer personally.
Journal 1 entry: early 1942 How can they be so blind? Hitler was right about how we Germans should eliminate those filthy Jews. My fellow Nazi leaders and I do not understand why the worlds, besides our allies, are against us. We are not harming any humans, but instead exterminating those who wish to be human. Jews are the reason that jobs are not available for every German.
They were respected so much by their community that if someone from their family did a simple crime, their reputation would be ruined. They had full power of their people especially the Indians. Frank molested and raped the Indian women because of the power he had against them, which made him see himself as a superior and take advantage of others. Julian, being the head of his family, he feels that he has power to decide what justice is and what is not. He does not hesitate in choosing between justice and his favorite son, he gets really mad when Wes put Frank to justice for his crimes and uses his power to free him.
He was going to take advantage of the German occupation program to “Aryanize” and “Germanize” many of the Jewish and Polish owned businesses. He employed Jewish workers as he knew that their labor would be cheaper than the Polish. He manipulated his way in with some of the higher ranking SS officers and solidified his position making sure he was protected. His only concern was to make it rich. But something unexpected happened to him during this time.
Like when he consoled Helen through her brutal and traumatic experiences with Goethe. In the beginning of the movie Schindler was portrayed as an antagonist, money loving, trifling self center man, but by the end of the movie, he was a hero. A courageous man, who was loved and looked upon in a highly respectable aura by a lot of Jews, and even German
Now that he became really successful, he felt bad that he proved Vladek wrong because at similar ages;Vladek went through Auschwitz while Artie became successful and famous through the publication of Maus. Pavel then points out that they were both in two totally different circumstances, Auschwitz and Rego Park, and that Vladek might have done these actions because he felt guilt that he survived the Holocaust while many of his relatives and friends died in concentration camps. Due to this guilt, he tried to imply that he was always right to
Along with the farmers, many shopkeepers and small businesses were very receptive to the idea that their problems were due to Jewish Capitalism. The Nazis very effectively took advantage of the current economic situation, as they knew many ordinary Germans were desperate for a solution. The German people were so pre-occupied with the hardships that they were facing that they heard the messages they wanted to hear within the Nazi Party promises. Their previous disapproval faded dramatically as they focused more heavily on the promises of work and bread (things the party had been promoting since 1920), rather than their more extreme anti-Semitic
Oscar Schindler dramatically changed into a vastly more admirable character than when we were first introduced to him. The contrast between his inital self to later where he took the list to the commandant of the labour camp and demanded ‘what is one worth to you’, ‘tell me, just tell me, what is one worth!’ This is the major turning point for the character of Schindler as we see he has realised the true value of money and life. This quote shows how he is willing to pay any amount to save the lives of the Jew’s. In another instance Schindler and Stern sit in an office pondering how to save the Jews. These two men are the Jews last hope, light is filtering down onto the desk illuminating them, symbolising their
“Somebody told me they thought he killed a man once” A thrill passes over all of us. The three Mr. Mumbles bent forward and listened eagerly, ‘ I don’t think it’s so much that” argued Lucille skeptically, “it’s more that he was a German spy during the war (Fitzgerald 44). Now that we know he was a German spy we know for sure that he has some sort of power and respect. As bad as some of the people at the party are making it sound I think people knowing he was a German spy will give him a little more respect. The Author uses big and meaningful words to emphasize a quote that tells you this quote is somehow or another meaningful.
What broke my heart the most was seeing the little shoes of the children that the German soldiers had killed. But in all it was a lesson. From a professional point of view, the most significant aspect of the museum was the showcases of the propaganda the German soldiers used in order to gain more power from other Germans across the nation. In my opinion this was most significant because it shows different was other cultures used to gain more power. Seeing Hitler at rallies with thousands of men and woman standing strong behind him shows he was a very strong speaker.
