Adolf Hitler Was NOT A Christian

Improved Essays
Adolf Hitler was NOT a Christian! The word “Christian” is derived from the Greek christianos, which means “anointed one”, therefore a Christian is a person who follows Jesus Christ. It is also a type of mentality, it is a relationship with living God=Jesus, and finally it is NOT a religion. Hitler was born in a Catholic family and then rejected his religious upbringing. But even if you are born in a Catholic, Protestant or any other religion, which believes in Jesus and His teachings, it does not mean that you are a Christian! You can become a Christian if you consciously take a decision to follow Jesus in your thoughts and deeds. I was a Catholic for the first 18 years of my life and it was only a tradition and system of beliefs, which my

    This is why most people in Germany believed in Hitler and the Nazis, when they would say that they will better off with Germany and make Germany hierarchy like it was before the Treaty. Hitler then raised to power because of Germany’s economic struggles. People believed that he will help their problems and improve their country. Hitler’s political beliefs were anti semitism, anti-communism, anti-parliamentarianism, German expansionism, the belief in the superiority of an "Aryan race" and an extreme form of German nationalism. Hitler personally claimed that he was fighting against Jewish…

    In order to appease the Catholic Church and avoid a messy situation, Hitler stopped many of the policies that the church opposed. It should be remembered that this is one of the very rare situations where a resistance movement actually had a direct effect on the Nazi rule. Perhaps the most well known form of resistance to Hitler was the The Stauffenberg Plot, code-named Walküre (“Valkyrie”). The plot was proposed by German military leaders…

    On October 27, 312, Constantine prepared for battle against Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge, an important route over the Tiber River into Rome. According to tradition, Constantine looked up into the sky to see a blazing cross of light with an inscription that read, “in hoc signo vinces” (in this sign you shall conquer). Although Constantine was not a Christian, the sign of the cross—a prominent Christian symbol—led him to believe this to be a sign from the Christian god, and he ordered his troops to inscribe the monogram of Christ on their shields. When the two armies clashed the next day, Constantine’s army won a decisive victory. Maxentius was pushed into the Tiber and drowned during the battle.…

    During World War Two (1933-1945), Adolf Hitler came to power and began to take over the world with his views. The events that took place under his control were horrendous; the worst being the Holocaust, killing an estimated 11 million people. As time goes on, some people are developing the belief that the Holocaust didn’t actually happen, it was a myth made up by Hitler’s opposition, used as a tactic to suffice his fall down from power. This small group of people are generally known as simply Holocaust Deniers but such believers name themselves ‘revisionism’. Throughout this essay I will suggest and discuss arguments to prove and disprove that the evidence is sufficient to deter these deniers.…

    World War II was a terrible period of time that will be remembered as one of the darkest chapters in our country’s history.

    Priests and Pastors died for their beliefs 1. Hitler wanted to create a new religion worshipping his Nazi ideology in place of Jesus Christ. Because Catholic priests and Christian pastors were usually influential figures in their communities, they were sought out by the Nazis very early on as to decrease as much resistance as possible. Thousands of these priests and pastors were forced into concentration camps. Some were executed, but most were allowed to die slowly by means of starvation or disease (The Holocaust: Non-Jewish Victims).…

    Hitler believed he was working by the will of God: “...I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty creator; by defending myself against the Jew…”. [Mein Kampf, “My Struggle”] The Nazis believed Jews were behind Communism, exploitative capitalism, and democracy. Jewish products were boycotted, Jews were pushed into ghettos, propaganda was released to influence non-Jews to hate and discriminate Jews, and pogroms were often used to try and destroy Jews. Those who were not destroyed by the pogroms were forced to concentration camps where 2 out of 3 European Jews were killed.…

    Hitler used the preexisting prejudices as a strategy to get the German people to believe him and his solution of eliminating Jews, gypsies, Poles, Slavs, handicapped, homosexuals, communists, and socialists to ensure the rise of a strong German nation. Hitler’s “master race” included people who were considered strong, with the ideal person being tall, blonde, and blue eyes. He also used the preexisting antisemitism that already existed in Germany to get people to follow him. Some laws for the Canonical (Church) Laws from 306-1431 correspond with Nazi laws that were put in place that would exclude Jews from public places. He racializes Jews, meaning Jews are a race and it runs in someone’s blood, so many who did not previously think they were Jews were all…

    In the novel Night by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, there are several quotes that hold significance. These quotes discuss when he questions his beliefs; the deaths that occur around him; and how he soon had more faith in the man destroying his people than anyone else. Through them, the reader sees the heartache and destruction cast upon someone who had gone through this tragic event. In all, Eliezer’s words almost bring a sense of understanding to those who didn’t witness these events firsthand, or to those who didn’t have to go through such a horrible time in history. These quotes show a change in Eliezer; they show what the genocide of one’s people can reduce them to.…

    The Holocaust has been discussed throughout history and english classes for decades. Students learn about the types of camps, stories of people who lived through the horrors, and many more horrific details of this tragic time period. A less discussed topic is the justification of these cruel events. Why did they pick the Jewish people, how could they do such inhumane things to innocent people, but just generally, how did the human race allow this to happen? Why were Jewish people chosen to be the scapegoat for European hatred?…

    “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.” That is a quote from Adolf Hitler himself. The reign of Hitler is arguably one of the worst time periods human history has ever faced (1933-1945). The German people loved and trusted him because he tricked them into thinking he wanted to serve his people. In reality, Hitler needed to gain the Germans trust first so he could satisfy his true agenda: eliminating the Jewish people because he strongly felt they were the reason Germany lost World War 1.…
