This autobiography also shows how little tolerance Hitler had for people who didn’t fit in his normal person standard. The Aryan race was always going to be superior to him no matter what and no one else or no other group was included in this idea of a perfect world. In his book, Hitler expressed that “In striving for this it must bear in mind the fact that we are members of the highest species of humanity on this earth, that we have a correspondingly high duty, and that we shall fulfil this duty only if we inspire the German people with the racial idea, so that they will occupy themselves not merely with the breeding of good dogs and horses and cats, but also care for the purity of their own blood” (Hitler 525). This is what Hitler wrote in his book to show his thinking on other people. This shows the ideas he was trying to implement to German people before he got into power and how he also compared people to animals. His segregation and hatred towards others traces back to before he even had the slightest bit of power in his hands. Hitler was in …show more content…

During the holocaust, Nazis killed “approximately six million European Jews and at least five million prisoners of war”(“The Holocaust | The National WWII Museum | New Orleans”). The Nazi ‘vision’ of having a world without jews was becoming possible during the war.

They did this by applying to part of the allies against Germany. If they were lucky enough to get chosen to join the allies, they had a higher rate of survival and protection against Nazi rule. Over one million jews enlisted and fought to fight for their rights. Most jews were forced to close down their stores, burn down their religious centres and sent away to concentration camps where they were killed in gas chambers or worked until they died from exhaustion, lack of food and water or diseases. “Nazi ideology was based on an extreme racist antisemitic worldview that considered Jews a destructive race that was poisoning and undermining the very foundations of human existence” (“The War Within the War: The Struggle of the Jews to Survive During the Holocaust”,4). This statement is what the Nazi party believed the jewish people to be. These ideas and exclusion brought a lot of hatred to a civil group of people who were innocent. Nazis also believed

In the autobiography Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, he expresses his political ideologies and strategies in ruling over millions of people. He mostly reveals his perspectives on racial matters, asserting that the Aryan race is dominant over any other ethnic groups.

The Jews were moved to the ghettos, because Hitler pushed the Jews to move to the east, then they concore move of the east and move them more to the east. Then “there was no more room for them to move to the east, so they built ghettos for them to live” (Byers 32).
