Who Is Hitler Responsible For The Holocaust

Improved Essays
We all remember learning about the brutal years between 1933-1945, where millions of innocent people were slaughtered by the Nazis. Do we know why this happened, or why Hitler decided to exterminate the Jewish population? But he didn’t only discriminate against the Jews, there were other races as well that weren’t as noticeable. Hitler’s discrimination against other races brewed from his love of his own country and the way he was brought up.
Many people believed Hitler’s hatred for the Jewish population developed because of a childhood memory. But there isn’t one specific reason for his behavior. It’s crazy the think nothing happened in order to make him feel how he did. No one is born racist, they have to be taught or trained into thinking

He believed only German people, or even people of Aryan blood should live in Germany. Hitler wanted his people, or his race, to have enough living space in Germany. This was a part of Hitler’s ideas about the ‘racial purity’ in the German race, which was superior to any other race in his mind. Because Hitler loved his country, he wanted Germany to be successful and powerful. He told his fellow German citizens that Germany would become powerful and rule the world. Of course this could only happen if Germany was pure with one race, without a Jewish religion. Hitler became afraid of the Jewish population because it was said that the Jews were involved with the Russian Revolution and had control over the Bolsheviks. Also it is said the Jews have been dominating communist movements all around the world. Hitler believ communism was a Jewish invention and it should be destroyed, this is an example of another reason why Hitler hated the Jews. However, Hitler managed to convince all the city residents that the lies that were told to him, were true.

When the news of the loss of the war made its way to him, he became depressed for months. He felt like he didn’t have anything to do and seemed to wander around life without a purpose. It was in the middle of this period that he struck with the idea, along with many other Germans, of revenge. (CITE) Hitler was an exceptional public speaker, and after the loss WW1 along with the hardships(CITE) that Germany faced afterwards, it probably wouldn’t have taken much to convince his country that he could put them out of their misery.…

    To begin with, the Nazi party came into power of the German government in January, 1933. Over multiple years, Hitler manipulated the German citizens into believing that he would be followed unrivaled and that he was a superior being. In “The introduction to the Holocaust”, it states that “The Nazis believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community.” So, when he gained complete control and worked his way into a dictatorship, Hitler then decided to do something about the jewish population since he would not be questioned by the citizens of Germany. While he targeted the jewish people, he also aimed hate toward Roma (Gypsies), the disabled, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others).…

    Out of fear, blame is often presented to those who come off as an easy target. Taking the easy way out seems a lot simpler then risking oneself pride and status, and this way creates a multitude of problems. Not only is the blame made off of assumptions and past grudges, but oftentimes the accusations are made from a type of deeply felt resentment that boils below.

    From 1919 until 1945, Adolf Hitler was a member of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, and he worked from the beginning to create an “ideal” racial community. By World War 2, it was clear he had specifically persecuted four groups of people, or racial “others”: the Jews, the Gypsies, people of African descent, and the disabled. Hitler’s decision to persecute who he did was obviously caused by racism, but according to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, those four groups had one thing in common: their biology. The main reason the Jews, the Gypsies, people of African descent, and the disabled were viewed as “the other” in Hitler’s racial state was because of the popular race “science” of the time.…
