The two big answers we found were the use of propaganda Hitler displayed to teach German men, women, and children to despise Jews. The other reason was the influence the German military had on its soldiers to agree to carry out terrible orders to execute Jews. However, people can argue that propaganda throughout the German military was more of an influence on the soldiers instead of their training. While there is no right or wrong answer, propaganda and training are the biggest causes to the Holocaust…
During the second half of the 19th century, anti-Semites moved from being religious discrimination to being racism as Jews were beginning to be view not as a religious group of people but a race (Semites). Anti-Semites believed that Jews could be changed by converting religion or assimilation; that Jews were dangerous; and that Jewish blood was passed down families so you were dangerous if you had Jewish family. A lie was spread in the 1900s that the Jews were planning to dominate the world using their wealth and intelligence t manipulated Christians. This was believed by most people which is not a surprise due to the lengths that people would go to to make people believe…
The holocaust stemmed from Hitler's ideology of race. Hitler created and brought thoughts and ideas known as nazi ideology to life. Hitler always thought he was great and had found the key to understanding a sophisticated world. Too close to the original.…
Many people have different ideas on who is to blame for the holocaust. Some say “well it has to be the SS officers, because they carried out the plans”, while others say “it’s clearly other countries faults for knowing about it, and not doing anything”. There are many people you can blame for allowing this terrible time in history, or even partaking in it, but there is one single person who really allowed this to happen. Hitler, all by himself is the one who caused it all, through his allowing of nazzis to grow bigger than ever, the foreseeing of this expulsion, and because of his hatred for jews.…
During World War II, Adolf Hitler was persecuting minorities in Europe. His main target were the Jews. In order to accomplish this, Hitler used numerous systems of persecution, including propaganda, the relocation of people to ghettos, and the creation of laws to take away peoples’ rights. However, one of the most effective systems? that was used during the Holocaust was the use of technology to effectively exterminate the minorities that were, in his opinion, the problem.…
Throughout history people go through denial about if things could happen or if it could happen. More than enough people think that the Holocaust did not happen, although there are criminal records, and that an American Judge Ruled that the Holocaust was a Historical fact.…
Another topic concerning the Holocaust that’s found very important is how a society so educated and advanced could create such a situation. Also, an important issue is actually the answer to the question of whether or not a democratic society could do such horrible things to people, humans. There are simple reasons to how an educated and advanced society, such as Germany, could create the situation of the Holocaust. When one single person rules a country, making it a dictatorship, anything is possible. It just so happened, that this person, Hitler, had horrible intentions for the concentration camps. His use of power and his psychotic ideas of how things should be were horrifying. Hitler knew he had the power, so he used it to the best of his advantage and he got the German to take his idea and make it their own. Since Hitler was so strong from the beginning, he could win people's trust and then make them believe certain things that he wanted carried out were perfectly reasonable. He obviously had many followers, which were the Nazis. Who knows if some or even all of them were forced into the…
“The Nazis believed that the Aryans had the most "pure blood" of all the people on earth. “To the Nazis, the term “Aryan” meant a non-Jewish, white, tall person with blonde hair and blue eyes.” According to Hitler in his book, Mein Kampf, "Blood sin and desecration of the race are the original sin in this world and the end of a humanity which surrenders to it" In this passage, he refers to the mixing of blood between races. Racist ideals were taught in school, Jewish establishments were boycotted and vandalized, homosexuals were spied on and the non-Aryan race was demonized.…
In conclusion, during the implementation of the so-called Final Solution the mass murder of European Jews, SS officials at killing centers complied the victims of the Holocaust to maintain the deception necessary to deport the Jews from Germany and occupied Europe as smoothly as possible (“Nazi Propaganda”). Until the end of the propaganda, Morgenthau envisioned stripping Germany of its heavy industry and returning the country to an agrarian economy (“Deceiving the Public”).…
Adolf Hitler left a ruinous impression on the Jewish history. With over 40,000 construction camps and the slaughter of over 6 million Jews, he traumatized the culture. Eliezer Wiesel was one of those victims. To be beaten nearly to death, dehumanized, and to lose himself was tragic. During the Holocaust, all Jews were dehumanized and in Night by Elie Wiesel reveals this.…
By the end of World War II, about two-thirds of the Jewish population were killed. Countless people lost their family and their friends. When the survivors were released from the concentration camps, numerous individuals had nowhere to go, and no place to call home. The Allied forces tried a multitude of Nazi War criminals in the Nuremberg Trials hoping that the imprisonment or killing of these flawed, yet guilty German officials would bring justice to those who survived the Holocaust. But was justice truly ever achieved?…
Because the magnitude of the Holocaust, it undoubtedly was affected by an array of influences. But, given that, the majority of the blame for the lethality and longevity of the Holocaust would have to fall into the hands of those who spread the propaganda, the very thing infecting the minds of the public and persuading them to play along with their agenda. This was the very planting of the seed that escalated the terror into drastic proportions.…
I believe that contemporary Jews still leave in the fear from the Holocaust. Especially since us Americans have been at war close to their land, the Holy land, also known as Isreal. If it happened once, who’s to say it won’t happen again. The Holocaust is still commonly talked about in many aspects. It’s brought up in the public; it’s brought up in schools everywhere. It’s a constant reminder to the Jews of that horrible event that their loved ones and community were put through. They have to learn how to deal with what has happened in their own ways.…
By discrimination we mean ‘the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.’ In this case, the Jews were discriminated because of their religion. In Germany from 1933 to 1945 the Jewish people were discriminated against for a number of reasons which lead to poor treatment at the hands on the Nazis, these included social, violent, economic and political discrimination.…
Recently, I've been studying the Holocaust which includes topics such as discrimination and equality for all. I have thought often that there can be several reasons people don’t treat each other with more compassion. One reason hitler used was the germans lost the war because of the jews. The jews did nothing wrong. Hitler homosexuals and mentally challenged because he claimed those people are different. The reason I believe people treat each other so horrible is because people don’t understand another’s culture and practices. If they see someone in the street with a hijab automatic assumption is,” they are muslim they must be a terrorist this thinking is how it all started with the holocaust.…
