Heinrich Himmler

My favorite exhibit was in the BYU Museum, “To magnify the Lord: Six Centuries of Art and Devotion”. This exhibit was full of paintings, and artwork representing the life of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The religious artwork in this exhibit displays beautiful narratives of Christ’s life, and his ministry. All of the paintings in this exhibit relate back to the Savior, and they really emphasize the greatness, and the mercy of the Lord, and many of them portray events that occurred during his life.…

In Frankenstein, Nature and science have brought a significant impact onto the characters. The progression of science combined with nature leads to a debacle. With this, there are various effects and roles shown through nature and science. Mary Shelley expresses her message about this. In her times, she was part of the transition from the Enlightenment to the Romanticist age and this led her to composing a story with nature and science competing against each other. From the struggles between the…

Chinese philosopher, Confucius, once said “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance”. The philosopher’s quote exemplifies the unwritten law to not make assumptions about somebody until you take the chance to get to know the person. Society quickly jumps to labels: good or bad, rich or poor, normal or atypical. People construct fallacies about others, creating a single story. In the novel, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, society’s sins are evident throughout the story. Some may argue…

Isolation is the lack of contact with people. It can be presented in various forms which have given humanity different types of thinkers and philosophers which have imposed greatness upon the world. Unfortunately, this greatness doesn’t come without a price. Isolation is a single powerful entity which deliberated humans from the things in which they cherish. This type of isolation is best seen in Mary Shelley’s novel “Frankenstein” through the main character “Victor Frankenstein”…

Thesis: Saki, in The Interlopers says, We are trapped by our own ill will; to be free of it we need to put aside our violence by making peace and realizing the unimportance of it. We focus on ill will and let it consume us. As did Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym did, “as boys they had thirsted for one another’s blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other.” (Saki 7) They were raised into despising one another due to their family’s feud (that started generations ago…

Poetry and thought are often interpreted as too lofty for the realm of politics, a realm dominated power (Berlin: 2004). Yet memory, as elaborated by poets should always be an exercise in education. The value of narrative, writing, and poetry is high. For ‘the very fact that so great of an enterprise as the Trojan War could have been forgotten without a poet to immortalize it several hundred years later offered only too good an example of what could happen to human greatness if it had nothing…

The Marquise of O- by Heinrich von Kleist is a story chock-full of secrets and unsaid ideas, such as the ambiguity of details regarding Giulietta’s possible rape. Furthermore, if every word isn’t read with the utmost attention, something major will slip notice. Specifically, when Giulietta is talking to her midwife, whom she has called in to hopefully deny her illegitimate pregnancy, she briefly states that she “conceived knowingly” (Kleist 91). This can be surprising after a second reading, as…

people he deemed impure. The real monster was Heinrich Himmler. His life before World War II helped shape his political views. With his political views, he quickly moved up the ranks, and accomplished many things for Nazi Germany. Heinrich Himmler came from a humble background and lived an average life before World War II. Heinrich Himmler went to school in Landshut, and studied agriculture at Munich Technical High School from 1918 to 1922. Himmler worked as a salesman for fertilizer…

LEADER OF THE SS PARTY: HEINRICH HIMMLER AND THE DESTRUCTION OF EUROPEAN JEWS DURING THE HOLOCAUST All the attention was directed to Heinrich Himmler when he stood in front of the SS squad commanders in Posen on October 4, 1943. Himmler promised that every Jew would be killed when he spoke; “I am now referring to the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people. It is one of those things that is easily said: The Jewish people are being exterminated. Every party member will…

During the Holocaust, millions of Jews and others perished. The SS played an important role in the aid of murdering millions of people during the Holocaust. Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsführer (leader) of the SS, was responsible for raising the SS to power. By the middle of WWII, the SS was made up by more than 52,000 people and was running concentration camps all around Germany. By the end of World War I, the Allies were the victors and Germany was defeated. To end World War I, the Treaty of…
