The Nazis implemented a number of techniques to keep not just the German people in ignorance of Hitlers intentions, but the world as a whole. Techniques such as propaganda, the masking of death camps as “work camps” and outright secrecy were the main ones used to hide their intentions of the final solution which was the genocide of the Jews. In this essay we will be referencing primarily from material found in Alan Axelrod's book The Real History of World War ll: A New look at the Past Robert Edwin Herzstein's The Nazis, Martin Kitchen's Nazi Germany at War.

The Holocaust occurred when Hitler came to power, caused by his power of words; as Death states: “The Fuhrer decided that he would rule the world with words.” (Zusak 445). Hitler manipulated the Germans to think that other people, such as Jews, are not the ideal human race and they need to abolish them.

Six years before World War II would officially begin, Hitler passed laws within Germany to boycott Jewish businesses, as well as promote the threatening and abuse of the Jewish community (Bergen 2016, 76). Within this chapter, Bergen started to emphasize another point of the thesis, that Hitler specifically targeted the Jewish population more so than other groups. This point is very clear, as Bergen states, “.not even two months after Hitler became chancellor, Nazi authorities opened the first official concentration camp” that not only targeted the Jewish, but homosexual men as well (Bergen 2016, 83). Within the next couple of chapters Bergen explains that last two points of the thesis, how the Holocaust was an event of global proportions with worldwide repercussions, as well as an event that was step-by-step happening gradually, as there was no formal beginning or end of the Holocaust. Hitler’s first concentration camp was started two months after he became chancellor, however his approval of Jewish abuse within Germany started way before he was chancellor, therefore there will never be a clear beginning to the Holocaust, nor

The Holocaust was a genocide in which Adolf Hitler, ruler of the Nazi party, and his associates conducted the mass murder of over six million Jews. Nazi Germany under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler was responsible for the brutal, inhuman slaughter of the Jews from 1933 to 1945. Many German civilians were ashamed of the callous, blasé and insensitive killings led by their own ruler and therefore deny any knowledge of the events of the Holocaust. Their claims to be unaware of the events of the Holocaust are not valid and are only used as a shield for their pride and dignity. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis believed that the Germans were the ‘perfect race’ and all other races were deemed ‘inferior’.
