Improved Essays
Boommm, auuuuu, crashhhh, the night came with the dark cloud and covered the German sky. The free and powerful eagle represents the German Nazis. Life started getting harder and harder, because German Nazis kept the Jews in many different camps. The Nazis pushed them into the camp, they forced them to work without pay and they persecuted them unto death. The Jewish in the the death camp were facing a lack food, shelter, sanitation and had to work hard (Berenbaum 1). Hitler made a plan called the Final Solution to purge the Jewish people from Germany (Final 1). Did Hitler accomplish his Final Solution?

“ In January 1933, President von Hindenburg appointed Hitler chancellor, believing that the Nazis could be controlled from within the cabinet. Hitler set about consolidating his power, destroying Weimar democracy and establishing a dictatorship” (Nazi Germany 1). To be a kingdom and to rule Germany under his power was a wonderful time, but that was still not enough for Hitler. In March 1933, Nazis used intimidation and manipulation to pass the laws without allowing other people to vote. During that time Hitler had all the power he wanted and that made it easy for him to spread his command. Hitler accomplished his most important goal to unify Germany and that was the time for him to purge those imperfect people. Hitler had to make his people proud of themselves and to purge the Jews and others with them (Nazi Germany …show more content…
Some of Hitler’s follows were tired of murdering people and many other people stood up and against him. Did Hitler accomplish his goal? Yes, but he only accomplished half of his goals. One of the most important reasons was that his own followers were tired of fighting with other people. Another one was that the German people helped the Jews and hid them from the Nazis (Schwartz 1). In 1945 Hitler committed suicide and the German finally surrendered (Holocaust 1). The crimes Hitler had committed that were finally over. What biblical truths can we learn from this? In the Bible in Exodus 20:13 it says “You shall not murder.” Murder is sin and that is even sinful to tell people to kill others. As the Chinese proverb says, “Sometimes death is heavier than the mountain or lighter than a feather.” That means the bad thing people have fight with even to death is heavier than the mountain, If you tolerate it, let that go, your death is lighter than a

    Gerald Fleming’s Hitler and the Final Solution is an important and controversial book in the study of the Holocaust. Fleming takes an “ultra-intentionalist” position on the historiographical debate on the origins of the Final Solution and his work has contributed significantly to the ongoing study on the subject. In this book, Fleming makes an argument that is well supported by existing and new evidence that Hitler was directly involved in the implementation of the Final Solution. The initial incentive in writing Hitler and the Final Solution was to rebuff David Irving’s contention that Hitler was largely unaware of the Jewish extermination. Gerald Fleming was himself a German-Jew that had been raised and educated in England.…

    The idea of intentionalism, in relation to the Holocaust, explains that Adolf Hitler had the initial idea of the mass execution of the European Jews as a solution to the Jewish question years before he came into power. It is believed that he had a preconceived notion that the only way to truly rid of the Jewish population was through extreme genocidal acts. Historians have debated over the idea of intentionalism vs. functionalism, but no real answer has ever been found, and perhaps never will be, as to if the Final Solution was truly premeditated. Intentionalists would argue that the idea of the Final Solution came before World War II; they would debate that Hitler intentionally deprived Jews of their privileges, socially and economically isolated them from all aspects of German life to further his final goal of overall annihilation of Jewish culture. The opposite side of the debate, known as functionalism, is described as how Hitler used spontaneity and rash impromptu decisions in order to progress to the final stage of the Holocaust, but that there…

    Historically people have apparently really disliked Judaism, from their oppression(and various counts of genocide and mass murder over several hundred years) at the hands of the Romans and later Byzantines, oppression by Muslims, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the hundreds of blood libels incited by christians from 700 CE to 1950 CE, their persecution, and murder, at the hands of Russian in in the early 1900s(and earlier), and of course, the Holocaust. We are however just focusing in on the last one mentioned, the Holocaust, and how Hitler originally wanted to solve his ‘Jewish problem’ and how it eventually escalated to his ‘Final Solution’. Emigration was, and has been the goto method for anti-semites to rid themselves of their…

    Adolf Hitler, the once great Füher of Germany, lead a powerful and corrupt regime during his years of supreme dictator of the Aryans; he committed many devious crimes, many of which would be unforgivable to the world and those who were affected by it. To a figure this destructive and well-known, his death should be one of the most known facts about him. However, the death of Hitler is one of the greatest mysteries ever presented to mankind. Hitler’s death, one of the greatest conundrums ever presented to mankind, has never been proven due to the lack of facts about what actually happened on April 30, 1945. With only but a few witnesses to be at the place of the event, and even fewer evidence about it to accommodate it, many theories about…

    Over the course of World War II, forces such as the Gestapo and the SS carried out Hitler’s cornerstones of ideology. One of Hitler’s ideas included the methodical and industrial extermination of peoples not considered “Aryan,” or the “master race.” Groups targeted by the Nazi Party included the Roma, the disabled, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses. However, the group arguably targeted the most harshly, were those of the Jewish faith. An estimated 6 million Jewish people died as a result of “the Final Solution.”…

    The Nazis called their genocide plan “The Final Solution”, or mass destruction that involved severe discriminatory measures against Jews, Gypsies, slaves, the disabled, and homosexuals. During this time of persecution, Adolf Hitler focused on isolating Jews out of the country. Polish and western European Jews were deported to ghettos (enclosed areas designed to isolate and control the Jews) where they lived in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions without food. After June 1941 Germans began massive killing operations aimed at entire Jewish communities. These killings included mobile gas vans which pumped poisonous carbon monoxide into sealed spaces, killing those locked within.…

    He actively wanted to force Jews out of the country by subjecting them to unfair conditions. Many Jews remained within Germany regardless of Hitler’s oppression. As Rudolf Hoess states in his testimony at the Nuremburg Trials, “The "final solution" of the Jewish question meant the complete extermination of all Jews in Europe. I was ordered to establish extermination facilities at Auschwitz in June 1941. ” It was not until 1941 that mass concentration camps started arising.…

    As a result, Hitler used the people’s anger to his benefit by making promises to make major changes. This is how he was considered a leader of Germany. Therefore, “After the Nazi party rose to power, state-enforced racism resulted in anti-Jewish legislation, boycotts, ‘Aryanization’, and finally the Night of Broken Glass pogrom, all of which aimed to remove the Jews from German society. After the beginning of World War II, anti-Jewish policy evolved into a comprehensive plan to concentrate and eventually annihilate European Jewry. ”(“The…

    It is difficult to comprehend that Adolf Hitler was not always an antisemite, right? Well, according to his autobiographical manifesto Mein Kampf (My Struggle), it was not even until he moved to Vienna that he opened up to the idea of anti-semitism. That seems peculiar, considering the fact that today, Hitler is most famously known as the heinous totalitarian dictator of Nazi Germany, and the core of an immense amount of drastic atrocities, including the Holocaust. Born in Austria, Hitler grew up to be one of the most nefarious leaders in history. Adolf Hitler is one of the most important people in the world of politics, war, and human rights; he is accountable for worldwide destruction, committed many acts of moral turpitude, dehumanized and nearly eradicated an entire race of human beings, and became one of the most innovative and persuasive political leaders of all time.…

    Having seen these historical concepts within my English course will certainly not make me understand instantly them when I’ll see them in Monde contemporain. But what is sure is that when there will be a concept that I will don’t completely understand, I will make link (even unconsciously) with other concept and it will help my comprehension of the subject. Also, this knowledge that I acquired during this project will make me reflect about the events that we will see in Monde Contemporain in a different angle. For example, when we will talk about Hitler’s Final Solution, I will think about this inhuman but at the same so well organize road that led to it. In brief, this project taught me about the complexity of the Nazis regime and these lessons…
