Hitler also changed the religious culture in many parts of Europe. One of Hitler’s main goals while in office was to eliminate the jewish and any other non-aryan people. In the process, Hitler made The Nuremberg Laws. Adolf Hitler, “implemented these laws to ostracize, discriminate and expel Jews from German society” (3) Diverse culture was rejected. Physically, the people of Germany, mostly jews, were affected because of Hitler trying to make the population one master race.
Most people think of the six million Jewish people that were killed by Hitler and his Nazis. As a result, most forget about the other five million other, non-Jewish, people that were killed during the Holocaust. For example, one of the groups of non-Jews that were killed were Homosexuals. Hitler had the idea of a "Master Race" and there was no room in it for homosexuals. The Homosexuals persecuted were mostly male because the female homosexuals (lesbians) weren't seen as a threat to the "Master Race".
The people of Germany couldn't think less about the Jewish. Hitler had influenced them to follow his opinion, and they
Unfortunately for Jewish people in Europe, they were the target of oppression for Hitler. Society stereotypes the Jewish people just as other ethnicities. Stereotypes seem to be a common way for people to view others. Germany needed a scapegoat for all the struggles they were facing and Hitler used stereotypes to give the German people a scapegoat.
The undesirables were homosexuals and mentally disabled . In Hitler’s propaganda, he set out to spread fear and hatred that the inferior races must not be allowed to corrupt the better ones in society. Ethnic cleansing was there necessary. The notorious anti-Semitic persecutions continued until the end of
According to Hitler and the Nazi party, the Jewish community weren’t people and they were just objects. Hitler found the Jewish community unpleasant and a disgrace to the world.
In 1933, Jews in Germany were about 525,000 (1%) of the total German population(The Holocaust-World War 2). Between 1933 and 1939, hundreds of thousands of the Jews who could leave Germany, did, those who couldn’t, stayed in fear(The Holocaust-World War 2). Evidence has shown hatred towards the Jews long before the Holocaust(The Holocaust-World War 2). Hitler blamed the Jews for the defeat of the war in 1918(The Holocaust-World War 2). After the death of President Paul Von Hidenburg in 1934, Hitler made himself Germany’s supreme
(Source 4) Hitler wanted to exterminate all of the ‘inferior races’ so that Germany could take over Europe and house the ‘perfect race’. The Jews were looked down on as they were inferior to the Germans that they lived amongst and therefore were ridiculed and made vulnerable to persecution. Hitler was afraid that the Jews would summon the other ‘inferior’ races to rise up against the Nazi regime as they were believed to hold much of the world’s finances and mass media. (Source 4) They believed that killing the Jews
Ironically, his followers, and the race that he thought is competent and is above all the others, did not question Hitler’s teachings and did not consider whether he provided enough and logical evidences to maintain his points. They just supported him because their sense of trepidation was threatened, or perhaps they could not recognize the irrationality of his beliefs. Either way, Hitler still successfully inveigled millions of people into conforming to his ideologies, which unfortunately urged them to favor the idea of maltreating other non- Aryan races, specifically of the Jewish
The conditions in the boxcars that Jews rode into concentration camps is hard to imagine. When the nazis wanted to transport loads of Jews to concentration camps, they didn 't know how to do it, their solution was old boxcars. They took old, beat up boxcars and jammed hundreds of Jews in there with nothing to survive. This was the start of the US being involved in another war, but not soon enough. The fact that any Jewish people survived is crazy, and here 's why.
Hitler also killed people based on their religion, especially the jewish. Two-third of the Jewish population was killed and almost all the jewish children were killed off. HItler killed people that identified as Homosexuals because he didn’t believe they were “people”, disabled becasue they couldn’t do anything or were “stupid”, religious because they didn’t believe in what he did, mostly christians, gypsies, poles, slavs, Jehovah's witnesses did not believe in the Nazi’s ideology and were willing to die for their beliefs. , and political
Dehumanization of Jews Anti-Semitism has existed in Europe for many centuries but Hitler enhanced anti-Semitism during his dictatorship of Germany. Anti-Semitism, a form of Jewish racism came into action with Hitler’s support of nationalism in Germany. It changed the way the Germans saw Jewish people. The theme “how we see things” demonstrates itself through the contrast of perspective between the Nazis and their Jewish captives. Henry David Thoreau quotes that “the question is not what you look at, but what you see” which explains that different people see different things from the image of the same thing.
Similar to the first World War, World War II was a dispute between powers and or countries and involved the death of million of civilians and militants of those disputing countries. There are many events that have made World War II significant and i will show you in this essay. World War II started basically because of one of the most known killer in the world Adolf Hitler. His role in the Holocaust is greatly significant because of the way that he punished, treated, and through of jews using concentration camps. In concentration camps jews were gassed, imprisoned and forced to do things that they didn't want to like forced labor.
In the early 1940s, Adolf Hitler told Germany the single story of his opinions of the Jewish race. His single story led Germany to blame Jews, persecute Jews, and kill Jews. You would think the nation would stand against wrongdoings, but most were brainwashed by Hitler’s perspective, and the rest, cowards. Germany was manipulated to think a certain way, without caring to hear what the Jews had to say, and ultimately reacted in a harmful way to the Jews. You may ask, why is this important?
“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth”---John F. Kennedy. What is conformity? Conformity is similarity of the actions and behaviors. The Wave was a recreation of WWII when Hitler was trying to wipe out the whole race of Jews. In The Wave, Mr. Ben Ross was in the place of Adolf Hitler, so everyone listened to him because he had dictatorship power.
