them she cannot. Her coming to literacy enables her to defy. After acquiring an understanding of the words, Liesel then questions their morality: “The words. Why did they have to exist? Without them, there wouldn 't be any of this. Without words, the Führer was nothing. There would be no limping prisoners, no need for consolation or wordly tricks to make us feel better.” (521). In this quote Liesel expresses her hatred toward Hitler. Without the words she feels that all her problems would go…

In Theresienstadt he was forced by his history of acting and directing and was forced to create a propaganda film to trick the nearby countries of the ‘Human living conditions’ the prisoners were in. This film was called “Der Fuhrer Schenkt Den Juden Eine Stadt” or “The Fuhrer Gives a City to the Jews”. In return of Gerron creating this film they promised the safety of his life, but they ultimately fell on that promise and sent Gerron and his wife to Auschwitz the day after the film was…

Now Fuhrer of Germany, Hitler was quick to stop unemployment. He grew Germany's economy, bringing them out of the depression and putting millions to work. The people loved him, he had saved them from the depression that had torn Germany apart for years and united the German people under one goal, the eradication of Jews, Slavs, and the November Criminals who betrayed Germany when the Great War was over.

Among them was Klaus von Stauffenberg, the man who would head Opertion Valkyrie. This essay will describe the events of, and leading up to, the July 20th attempt to assassinate Hitler, why and how Stauffenberg…

This new education essentially brainwashed the kids into believing that the German race need to stay pure and that their loyalty should always fall with the Fuhrer. Kids were taught that the Fuhrer was the one they should show absolute loyalty to and if anyone showed not just opposition but slight stay from the path Hitler demanded they should be turned in even if it was their parents (The Rise of the Third Reich).…

letting redemptive antisemitism become the central focus leading to the Holocaust. Friedlander highlights the shift through Hitler’s speeches. In addition, Friedlander uses Hitler’s speeches to illustrate how the Nazi Party was thinking, as Hitler was Fuhrer and his sediments were shared by his allies. One speech Friedlander makes known was on October 2, 1941. Hitler proclaimed “the Jews and only Jews” were not only behind Bolshevism but also capitalism. A day later Hitler designated the Jews as…

After defeat of World War I, Hitler’s Nazi Party grew into power in hope to alleviate Germany from crippling military and economic terms imposed by the Versailles Treaty. German citizens were indoctrinated that the Fuhrer would use his “superhuman efforts to free Germany from the enslavement endured since its defeat in WWI and to restore its old glory and preeminence” (pg 1). After World War I, citizens discerned the Weimar Republic as a weak democratic government. Therefore, the Nazi Party grew…

World War Two began in 1939 as a result of many things. Tension began to build from the end of World War One due to many things, such as the effects of the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression, Adolf Hitler’s new role of Führer (succeeding Paul von Hindenburg) and his exploitation of the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles through his Nazi army.
