Recommended: Hitler and treatment of minorities

After reading chapter seven’s “Nation and Race”, Hitler wanted to create an ethno-nationalist party that wanted to eradicate Jews because they controlled financial institutions, race inferiority, and religious conflicts among Christians. Within Hitler’s manifesto Mein Kampf, he brought up the term “folkish” to describe the importance of the Aryan race and how we should keep the bloodlines pure from other races. Through his Nationalist Socialist German Worker’s Party, he insinuated that the Aryan race superseded other races and should acquire complete global control. In comparison to “folkish”, Hitler described the Aryan race as the master race, but the Jewish people as parasites destabilizing nations throughout time. Moreover, while “folkish” communities had …show more content…

Another description Hitler gave towards Jewish people compared to “folkish” people is its community puts an emphasis on serving their own self-interests over the overall interests of the community. Lastly, Hitler compared the Jewish people to have no idealistic outlook, while “folkish” people have an idealistic outlook in trying to shape their communities into having a strong national identity and shared culture. Overall, Hitler’s comparison between both “folkish” and Jewish people had extremely negative connotations towards the Jewish community because he felt the “folkish” was being stripped of its national identity and culture through subversive ideas from the Jewish community.

After reading “Nation and Race” from the textbook, Hitler gave a grim outlook towards the Jewish community and helped inspire the nation of

This new low for Germany allowed Hitler to more aggressively push his hateful rhetoric to the people. As seen in doc 3, in which a Jewish worm eats away at “the German economy”, Hitler began pushing hateful propaganda to fuel anger among the German population. Hitler took advantage of Germany’s economic downfall to provoke hatred towards his enemies, specifically jews, through nationalism. He had identified Jews as being the ones who were causing this death of Germany, and thus made it the German people's national duty to defend their nation and crush the Jews. This desire of the German people to save their nation from poverty, and revive it to its once great state, fueled a wave of nationalism to sweep across

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.

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.

In the 1920s the Nazi party stood for uniting Germany and Austria. The first point in the twenty point programme says ‘We demand the union of all Germans in a Great Germany on the basis of the principle of self-determination of all peoples.’ This shows that the first thing Hitler would want to do as soon as he gets into power is to unite Germany and Austria, because he thinks that Austria was originally a part of Germany but then it was separated to be independent, this proves that Hitler thinks Austria & Germany make the whole of Germany and the Austrians are equal to the German. After he makes a twenty point programme which appeals to all type of non-Jewish people from the working class to the beggars on the streets.

The Holocaust is a shining example of Anti-Semitism at its best and it was no secret that the Nazis tried to wipe out the Jews from Europe but the question is why did the Nazis persecute the Jews and how did they try to do it. This essay will show how the momentum, from a negative idea about a group of people to a genocide resulting in the murder of 6 million Jews, is carried from the beginning of the 19th Century, with pseudo-scientific racial theories, throught the 20th century in the forms of applied social darwinism and eugenics(the display of the T4 programme), Nazi ideas regarding the Jews and how discrimination increased in the form of the Nuremberg Laws , Kristallnacht, and last but not least, The Final Solution. Spanning throughout the 19th century, racial theories were seen. Pseudo-Scientific theories such as Craniometry,where the size of one’s skull determines one’s characteristics or could justifies one’s race( this theory was used first by Peter Camper and then Samuel Morton), Karl Vogt’s theory of the Negro race being related to apes and of how Caucasian race is a separate species to the Negro race, Arthur de Gobineau’s theory of how miscegenation(mixing or interbreeding of different races) would lead to the fall of civilisation.
