that the world witnessed the extent of the crimes committed by the Nazis. As evidence of the unthinkable genocide against the Jewish people was uncovered, people could only watch in horror. Nations everywhere gazed in shock at the ability of the Nazi Party to convince ordinary people to allow, and even take part in, such horrendous actions. They masterfully sculpted and re-sculpted an entire country of people. The Nazis used propaganda, fear, and the indoctrination of children to spread their…

If you walked into her shop and didn’t say ‘heil Hitler’, you wouldn’t be served” (Zusak 45). Clearly, she was a proud supporter of Hitler and what the Nazi party stood for.

But have we ever actually thought of why some of our friends can’t dress up for Halloween?

The human race is the only species on earth capable of using language to such an advanced degree. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, the idea of words being used as a weapon is expanded on. The novel takes place in 1943, during the Holocaust, and spends a lot of time detailing how Hitler was able to do what he did through the power of his words.

Adolf Hitler soon rose to the challenge to become Chancellor and quoted that he had ‘the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice’ which, in time, won over the votes for the Nazi party, but could not gain the voters all by himself. Hitler’s Henchmen played a massive part in Hitler’s leadership and two of the most of important were Himmler (In charge of Terror) and Goebbels (who was in charge of Propaganda). Their roles and…

a Jew, the Nazi party’s greatest aversion. There are many events that prove The Book Thief is set in an ideal location. For example, an event that occurred on page 102. In regards to the fire held on Hitler 's Birthday the book states, “It would commemorate not only the Führer’s birthday,but the victory over his enemies and over the restraints held on Germany since the WW1.” This line from the book supports that Adolf Hitler, Germany’s Führer, had a large influence on the lives of German’s like…
