Hitler Youth Persuasive Speech

Improved Essays
As a once proud member of the Hitler youth. With the countenance of many. I will no longer accept you as my leader, and I will take a stand against this pointless war.
Hitler you are a man who takes a boys father away because he refused to have me taken away. You only do this for you're own political gain. The war first started to make Germany great again. The conditions haven't gotten much better. There is more poverty than even imaginable. My friend, Liesel, has to eat pea soup everyday. How will parading and torturing Jews help Germany. It has pitted much of the world against us. The war is now just so you can control the world. A countless number of innocent men and women are killed everyday because of you're destructive motives. Molching is bombed week by week. People are terrified that they

Liesel was broken away from her first mother and now from her second father. You have taken away my own father. You rejoin some families, but not because you have empathy for them it's because they have been injured. You feel you can just use your citizens and spit them out once your use with them is done. You and your cronies will never face the effects of this war that me and others on the street face. The mayor and his wife are living the life eating baked goods, and I can't even imagine what else. For Liesel's sake at least the mayor's wife, Ilsa, is reading. It is our right to steal from you because you have stolen everything from us. I worked hard to prove to you that I am becoming a success by showing my athleticism at the Hitler Youth carnival. You repay me by sending agents to my house to recruit me and having me strip my clothes in front of the nurses. This has also however led to your own demise. It has motivated me to up my resistance against you. I took bread to give to the Jewish prisoners marching to Dachau. Much of the food was left before it was detected by the Nazi

    What do you say now? Where is their famous cruelty?’” These optimists believed that because the German soldiers peacefully “invading” their town showed human decency, that they were safe and meant no harm. The contrast between this point of view and the inevitable downfall of this peaceful German image--due to the beginnings of the mass extermination of the Jewish people--created distrust between the two sides. One reason this image and distrust was supported by many German people and the villages surrounding concentration camps was the widespread use of propaganda.…

    There are many things that I learned about the Holocaust that I didn’t know before. I learned things like only thirty-seven percent of the population actually voted for Hitler.

    Instead a system of gradually restricting the rights of Jews was improvised. Analysis of these key facts reveals the fallacy of viewing the adherents of Nazism as simple caricatures of evil. The misinterpretation that the people of Germany initially sided with Hitler solely to fulfill their homicidal desires overlooks the condition of the country following World War I. After their defeat, the quality of life for many slowly deteriorated. A republican government, the Weimar Republic, was installed by the allies and the country was faced with unjust financial reparations that served as a catalyst for a depression.

    Perhaps the most dreadful event in recent history is the tragedy that befell the world during the Holocaust. Throughout a twelve year period, the Nazis were able to wreak havoc and torture innocent people purely because of their “inferiority”. The Nazi ideology was rooted in the idea that the German race was superior to all, and this state of mind was behind all of the atrocities that took place in Germany and surrounding areas.

During these years, the Nazis began to show their true intention to the world, and began their systematic persecution…

    Videos of the order of the German army seemed immense, the shooting down of people falling in their pre-dug graves, and pictures of starved bony bodies added to the increasing feelings of disgust, and grief-struck we felt. Footage of German school children brainwashed with anti-Semitic teachings, cheering for Hitler as if a great ruler, civilians picking up guns and shooting innocent Jews made me realize the immense manipulating power of hate and the devastation destruction it is capable of carrying…

    The Hidden Evil Every single person in this world right now has been indifferent during their lifetime. No one, however, has been as indifferent as the United States, Jewish prisoners, Nazis, Germany citizens, and the rest of the world during the Holocaust. On the brink of World War Two, many nations were only focused on the battlefront, but the true horror lied within the walls of German control. Concentration camps, otherwise known as death camps, or hell, “housed” millions of Jews, workers as well as their corpses. During the Holocaust, over six million Jews were exterminated by Nazi guards under Adolf Hitler’s reign.…
