The Holocaust
Have you ever wondered why the germans and the jewish followed the nazi rule? This has been referred to as the holocaust. The leader of the holocaust was Adolf Hitler. Adolf came to power when the chancellor died. He then started a party called the nazi party and they were against all jews. I am going to explain some of the many reasons that the germans and the jewish followed the nazi rule.
One of the main reasons that the germans and the jewish followed nazi rule was because hitler had brainwashed them. Hitler brainwashed them by telling them false things. Hitler had told them he wanted them to have a better future and he could help with that.(Chamberlain, Craig. “75 Years Later, Why Did Germans Follow the Nazis into Holocaust?”) Hitler also had made hundreds of posters and handed out millions of pamphlets.(Chamberlain, Craig.) On the other hand the chancellor did nothing. Hitler had at one point said that “every german girl will find a husband”. (“Life in a Nazi Concentration Camp.”)Hitler thought that for the election he was gonna lose. He then started

Did you know that adolf hitler had discriminated against the jewish? I think this is one reason to not follow the nazi party but if you don't follow them or you go against them you will end up dead or in a concentration camp. Hitler absolutely hated the jewish. He hated them mainly because he thought that the jewish were the main reason for losing World War one. (“The Nazis in Power: Discrimination, Obedience, and Opportunism.”)Another reason is that hitler believed that the jewish put the germans into an economic crisis.( “The Nazis in Power: Discrimination, Obedience, and Opportunism.”)That is also another reason hitler got elected because he said he could get them out of that economic crisis that the jewish put them in. That is the third reason I believe that the jewish followed the nazi party and brought hitler to

    After Germany faced such hard times after the first World War, most people just wanted a change from the normal. This was how the Nazi party came into power so easily. If Germany had not been suffering so much, Hitler would have had a much harder time coming into power because Germans would have believed in their current government (Burnstein 1). Many people were either directly involved with the Nazi party or were brought in fairly close contact with them (Nazi Criminality 1). Adolf Hitler is said to not be solely responsible for forming the Nazi party that was in charge of Germany, which would make him not solely responsible for what he did (Fuhrer Order 1).…

    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…

    Although many Jews were doctors, lawyers, businessmen, bankers, and teachers who contributed a great deal to german society, Hitler blamed them for the country’s economic problems. The truth was that Germany was going through a difficult time because it had been badly defeated in World War I, which ended in 1918.”(Heroes of the Holocaust p. 1) The Nazis had wanted the Jews to feel as though they were being ruled by a higher power and couldn’t do anything about it. They had everything taken away from them including their homes, jobs, and even their rights. Even though they had got there rights taken away that wasn’t enough for Hitler.…

    The propaganda and indoctrination caused some Germans to think that Jews should be discriminated against and removed from Germany, which caused an increase in anti-Semitism. The fact that some people were happier under Hitler meant that more people were likely to accept the anti-Semitic movements, even if they didn’t fully agree with it, because there was so many other things that Hitler did that meant them happy, meaning they thought it was worth it to keep Hitler rather than want him removed as leader. However, the main reason for the increase in anti-Semitism is the cumulative radicalisation, which meant that members of the German state were constantly doing even more anti-Semitic things in order to ‘work towards the Fuhrur.’ This had the biggest effect on the increase in anti-Semitism because it opened up so many methods in which anti-Semitism could…

    By following Germany's history that lead up to the Holocaust, and examining the Ten Stages of Genocide by Dr. Gregory Stanton, I believe that one of the largest warning signs that happened early on in which genocide prevention could have taken place would be Germany's economic crisis during the Weimar Republic. In the 1920s, Germany entered a depression under the Weimar Republic. By 1929, the worldwide depression hit, causing Germany's economic system to crash. “In a country plagued by joblessness, embittered by the loss of territory, and demoralized by an ineffective government, political demonstrations frequently turned violent”( The Path to Nazi Genocide). This period is where classification, or us versus them mentality began to grow against the communist.…

    The Holocaust was a time of historical conflict and darkness. At the hands of Adolf Hitler, he and his Nazi party, the Third Reich, motivated to bring the Jewish religion to an end, as well as homosexuals, gypsies, and others. Anyone who defied the social norm should be exterminated. They were not people; they were merely creatures. What fueled Hitler’s hatred remains a mystery today.…

    Have you ever wondered why the Nazi Germans hated the Jews enough to distinguish their entire race? I have always wondered this and wanted to figure out the causes and motives to the Holocaust. Some historians believe that the Nazis had planned the extermination of the Jews when Hitler took power in 1933. Other historians believe that the extermination of the Jews wasn’t originally planned. Either way, the Nazis are still responsible for the death of 6 million innocent Jews.…

    After a worldwide depression, Germany was left with nowhere to turn and looking for someone to blame. The people of Germany looked to Hitler, the leader of the Nazi party, to pick up the pieces and rebuild their nation. Because Hitler was such an influential speaker, he easily influenced the country with his personal views on the Jews, and found his entrance to his rise as dictator. Antisemitism is a term created soon after World War II, referring to the prejudice and hatred of Jews. Hitler’s Mein Kampf was a book he wrote portraying his ideas that the Jews were dangerous people that posed a threat to someday destroying Germany.…

    The Jews were financially smart and Hitler felt the Jews were disloyal to Germany. He observed the Armenian Genocide, and he took in the details of how Turkish leaders killed the Armenian and the methods they used. Hitler also studied how similar the Armenian 's were to the Jews in both intellect and in speaking up for what they felt was right. He also noted how no consequences were given after the genocide. This is what he counted on for Germany.…
