Monde Contemporain: Hitler's Final Solution

Improved Essays
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.

Indeed, I used some lessons about the Nazi regime that I have learnt by reading books (like the book thief) or in courses. For example, in English on the beginning of the year, we read a text in the upfront about Kristallnacht. The books made me understand how the Nazi regime was working and what was the climate in Germany during the WW2. How these informations led me to achieve this project with success? To begin, knowing a little about Kristallnacht before the project permit me to start the project with a strong planification. I knew that they were causes and consequences of the Night of broken glass so we commence by spliting the work in 3 big categories: the causes, the event and the consequences. I was doing the consequences and when I was doing my part I was very happy to already know a lot about the Nazi. Indeed, these informations that I learnt by reading book and by doing school activities like the comparative essay between the Nazis and the Talibans, permit me to separate the consequences that had a lot of impacts on the course of the war and those who had minus impacts. This separation was very important to synthesize the

The leaders of the squads drove hundreds of killing drones of people onward through the wartimes no matter the level of psychological trauma they had felt and endured. Homicidal geniuses banded together just to create new technologies in order to kill their fellow man, just for the reason that they had different belief or a different tone of skin then them.

    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.…

By offering different perspectives, Marrus is able to keep the topic consistent by discussing holocaust lessons through the eyes of historians but also placing a considerable emphasis on the survivors whose stories play the biggest role in determining these so-called “lessons”. In the book, Marrus considers the primary role as being assigned to the survivors. Noted as a “Jewish lesson” – the role imposed on these survivors to embody hope, resilience, and the human spirit (Marrus, 2016, p. 95). Although this may be true, survivors often tend to restraint in drawing lessons from extreme situations they experienced.…

    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. While the majority of the worst travesties took place during the final years of the holocaust, there was a significant build-up to those events, which took place throughout the years from 1933 to 1938. During these years, the Nazis began to show their true intention to the world, and began their systematic persecution…
