Similarities Between Hitler And The Holocaust

690 Words2 Pages

In "Insurgent" the people in the society are split into factions based on personality traits and mental or physical skills. In the Holocaust, Hitler attempted to separate the society apart based on race. In the real world people disagreed with Hitler's plan and took action against it. The same is in the book as people did not agree with the way the dystopia was set up and overthrew the controlling system. Adolf Hitler attempted to create a utopia but creates a dystopian society similar to the one in "Insurgent". One similarity between the Holocaust and the society in Insurgent is that in both instances the people are categorized and separated in a certain way. In the Holocaust Adolf Hitler separated the people of Europe based on what race, religion, or sexuality they were. In the book, Insurgent, the society is split into different factions, Amity, Erudite, Dauntless, Candor, and Abnegation. The people put into these factions were categorized based on how they think, physical and mental capabilities, and personality traits. In the book one faction briefly took control of all the others but Adolf Hitler imperialized most of Eastern Europe. Adolf Hitler just took the whole "creating a utopia" thing way too far as …show more content…

When Adolf Hitler attempted to control the world, multiple other countries stepped in to stop him and save the lives of the people he had enslaved. They allied forces obviously succeeded in stopping Hitler from creating his idea of a utopian society and ultimately, destroying the world. On the other hand, Jeanine, the woman who attempts to seize control of the society in Insurgent, also faced fierce opposition. Just like in WWII, an army was raised to stop her from destroying everything and potentially killing thousands. Towards the end of the book, Jeanine died just like Adolf

    Of course these two horrible tragedies aren't entirely the same but in some similarities they do compare such as, how horrendous the SS guards treated the Jewish men and woman. They murdered innocent families and the ones who surrendered would be held captive in what they called Concentration Camps. Many Jewish families tried hiding and escaping during this time and some in the end were able to get to a safe area like Yang and her family. In the movie Schindlers List, it explains how many Jewish families hid their personal belongings such as necklaces, bracelets, rings by swallowing them or hiding them in food so the guards could not find them. Before the Holocaust began, some areas in Europe removed Jewish children from the school, until 1938 when they were all banned from attending German schools. Discrimination and isolation within education for children began to take place. After reading some information about the holocaust, I came across a website about why the holocaust ever started. It states that "the holocaust started because of ingrained antisemitism both in Germany and the countries it conquered, compounded by propaganda and the resources of a

  • Adolf Hitler's Use Of Dehumanization Essay

    1895 Words  | 4 Pages

    At the start of Adolf Hitler’s reign of terror, no one would have been able to foresee what eventually led to the genocide of approximately six million Jews. However, steps can be traced to see how the Holocaust occurred. One of those steps would be the implementation of the ghetto system in Poland. This system allowed for Jews to be placed in overcrowded areas while Nazi officials figured out what to do with them permanently. The ghettos started out as a temporary solution that eventually became a dehumanizing method that allowed mass relocation into overcrowded areas where starvation and privation thrived. Also, Nazi officials allowed for corrupt Jewish governments that created an atmosphere of mistrust within its walls. Together, this allowed

    According to Merriam-Webster, a holocaust is a destruction involving widespread death, specifically by fire. In 1943, World War II was at its’ peak. At that time, Jewish people, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war, and homosexuals were all herded like cattle into concentration camps by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi army. Hitler’s goal was to form what he believed to be a “superior” race known as Aryan. Hitler believed that the Aryan race (blond hair and blue eyes) was “superior” to these groups of people. According to Hitler, “When human hearts break and human souls despair, then from the twilight of the past, the great conquerors of distress and care, of shame and misery, of spiritual slavery and physical compulsion, look down and hold out their eternal hands to the despairing mortals. Woe to the people ashamed to grasp them!” Here, Hitler illustrates how the Aryans are “conquerors” above the “despairing mortals”. The Nazi party was led by Adolf Hitler, a manipulative and cruel dictator. Although John Boyne describes the appearance of the prisoners in Auschwitz, he leaves out significant details when describing Berlin’s setting in 1943, what the Auschwitz Concentration Camp was like, and how the people in the camps were treated.

  • The Holocaust: Superiority And Discrimination In The Holocaust

    1039 Words  | 3 Pages

    Superiority and discrimination have been the underlying problem in many world-wide events throughout history leading into present day. Whether it be a caste system issue or a race issue, there’s always a group that labels themselves greater than that of another. This affair was apparent in 1940s Germany. The German people would be persuaded into a dictatorship led by Adolf Hitler, who while in power would give rise to Nazism, allowing the mistreatment of Jews to commence. This extermination would be known as “The Holocaust” translated to “sacrifice by fire” and would affect many different people groups during and after the event.

  • How Does Lindbergh Use Metaphors In The Plot Against America

    Throughout the book, I had to keep telling myself over and over that the events in the book never really occurred. I was confused because the reality of the 1900's was that Hitler did have a major influence of the people he came into contact with, but then again, the Holocaust was not a major issue in the United States. Most of Hitler's power and abuse was spread throughout Europe rather than the U.S. Another detail of the book that was confusing to understand was that Sandy went against his family to support an Anti-Semitic. The reason this was difficult to understand was because Sandy was always the smart and quiet one, if he had been smart, he wouldn’t have been trapped by Lindbergh's ideas. The book doesn't thoroughly explain how a young boy can be so easily brainwashed, as to go against his

    To begin with the holocaust had a great impact in history even though it was a time of disaster, murder, and discrimination. It was a time in which Adolf Hitler,German politician and Nazi party leader, wanted all Jews suffering or dead. Adolf Hitler turned everyone against the Jews because he believed that they were to wealthy and too powerful so he wanted to eliminate all of them. The Jews went through a lot of suffering and pain. The German soldiers which took commands from their leader, Adolf Hitler, put some Jews to work and killed others. Many Jews didn't get to work they were killed instantly. All women were separated from the man and woman were mostly killed instantly only some got the opportunity to work. The some ways that the jews were killed is that they were put into gas chambers by tons or shot by soldiers. Jews were also dying by starvation dehydration soldiers would not give them enough food or water. They would only want those with blue eyes and blonde hair they discriminated all the others. Soldiers would not only kill the Jews but torture them for anything they did. The Jews would be transported from camp to camp walking even in the worst weather conditions which also many died from it.

    The word “Holocaust”, was originated from the words “Holos” meaning whole, and “kaustos” meaning burned. To Adolf Hitler, Jews were an “inferior” race. After years of Nazi rule, Hitler’s “final solution” came under the cover of world war, with mass killing centers constructed in the concentration camps. Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma Gypsies, Priests and Pastors, homosexuals, and black children were all victims of the holocaust. Most of the victims left were from other countries. 6,000 Jehovah's witnesses, over 15,00 homosexuals, 400 “colored” children, and over 5,000,000 jews were killed.

    When people hear genocide they normally think of the Holocaust which was the persecution of Jews by the Nazi’s. This took place under Adolf Hitler’s rule but there have been other genocides throughout history. The Armenian Genocide is one of the many that have taken place. It took place in the Ottoman Empire between the years of 1914 to 1918 (“Armenian” Armenian). It started when the “Young Turks” took control of the government (Beecroft). The Holocaust and Armenian genocide are similar in the reasons that started them, but they are different in who was involved and how the two genocides were executed.

  • Comparison Between Third Reich And Racism

    The obsession with Nazis comes the idea that they represent the idea that humans are susceptible to a certain psychology whether it be group think or an in-group/outgroup bias. I partially agree with Evans however I do not believe that “Third Reich represents racism in its most extreme form”. Unlike other marginalized groups the Jewish community has exceptionally thrived because they will not let others forget and maintained a strong foothold and make their history a necessity to know and understand. Evans makes a valid point on the timing of when the Nazis came to power. In the past when I thought of mass murder I thought of medieval times on a less” enlightened” society. He brings up the sophistication and cultured aspect of Europe and how

    The events recounted in Anne Frank’s Diary took place during World War 11. By 1933, the strongest party in Germany had gained ultimate power with Hitler under their command. Hitler was Germany’s dictator who spread his gospel of racial hatred through politics. While poverty and unemployment were at an all time high he launched a campaign of anti-Semitism. Hitler’s main target was the Jews, claiming that they were “racially inferior.” He developed an idea of a Master Aryan Race, the need to rid Germany of “inferior people”, such as Jews and Gypsies, and the need to expand Germany’s borders. In doing this, he caused many Jews to abandoned their homes and go into total isolation. The Frank family was one of many who endured Hitler's wrath. The Diary of Anne Frank is about a little girl who tells her story of struggle and courage through her diary.
