Aryan

“untermensch” or sub-human individuals, included the mentally handicapped, Homosexuals, Gypsies, Slavs, and Russians. The Nazis attempted to exterminate these groups due to the belief that they did not conform to Nazism’s ideal human specimen, the Aryan. Hitler defined an Aryan as a White male with Blond hair and Blue eyes. All others below this standard were supposedly inferior. Yehuda Bauer provides several interesting features…

people of lesser races were inferior and should be exterminated. He did this through various means, like prison, execution, and most of all, labor camps. The goal of his Nazi party was to get rid of lower class citizens and people without a strong Aryan - people of Indo-European…

Germany was referred to ‘racial hygiene’ and Germans discussed what it meant to be German, or what it meant to be a part of other ethnic groups, leading to the idea of a superior race. This ideology of racial science advanced a theory that complemented Aryan ideology that asserted racial superiority. In order to support this idea of a superior race and further explain where the idea came from they frequently used scientific knowledge and scientific theories to help defend their arguments;…

or vandalized. Essentially, the Jewish community had nothing left. Both the police and fire department were on the scene, but they were instructed to just watch as the buildings were raided, unless something was wrong with the property of an Aryan. The Aryans were the people who Hitler painted to be the “master race.” The businesses that were destroyed were lined up along the streets, and each store had a window in the front, displaying some of the most prized and popular products the store had…

It is only upon further inspection does one realise that Kali’s power is in fact drawn from the union of these opposites. A singular portrayal of the goddess will in no way representative of who Kali truly is. She must always be properly contextualised to truly understand her power and functionality as a goddess…

of the Nazi Party of Germany, Hitler articulated for lebensraum- the need for Germany to expand, autarky- the idea that Germany should be self-sufficient, and the need to abolish the Treaty of Versailles. In addition, Hitler believed that a German "Aryan" race was superior, rendering all other races inferior and unequal.
