Adolf Hitler’s mind was in many ways “complicated.” He was known to have suffered many illnesses ranging from hypertension, headaches, problems with his vision, to abdominal spasms. All of these sicknesses and disabilities could have caused him to not think “clearly,” but the list of his issues goes on and it is believed by some that they are the root cause for the Holocaust and the inhumane actions of Hitler. Hitler growing up unrecognized and insignificant caused him to create a growing need for attention, recognition, and power and these needs only continued to increase with age, but with age came these physical problems and psychological problems such as sadism, anti-Semitism, and national socialism (Nazism). Hitler developed power, but used it for awful things that cannot be blamed on him hearing noises and other “illnesses” he had.
Adolf Hitler has been examined, scrutinized, and picked apart by countless scientists, psychologists, professors, and really anyone with a curiosity about him or the way the human mind works. Hitler is hard to categorize though as someone under one personality disorder. He can’t just be labeled as just one specific thing, such as a sadist. This is because although he hurt so many and clearly enjoyed doing it and thus took pleasure from it, it went beyond hurting people in general, but took it further as to hurt a specific category. Hitler was an anti-Semitist and thus wanted to exterminate Jewish people. Anti-Semitism is defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary as the “hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group,” thus making it a form of racism. Anti-Semitism was not a new idea to the time period of post-World War I.

...en became the person in charge of it. He transitioned from a child hearing his mayor promote anti-Semitism, to a viscous dictator killing Jews in gas chambers. What possessed Hitler was this extreme desire to “save” his country and his mind must have been pretty warped to believe that his method was the proper way to go about this, he did what he had set out to do. He was a nationalist and put what he wanted for his country above all and went to extreme measures to make it happen. So although Hitler may have had many aches pains, bruises and bumps, most people have issues, but they do not go around trying to extinguish a religious group of people. Hitler went to inhumane measures to create a name for him and go above and beyond being “well known,” but there must have been something pretty twisted underneath that caused him to believe what he was doing was right.
Adolf Hitler, born in 1889, is an Austrian born man who is known for his instigation and participation in the Nazi Political movement, or genocide, known as the Holocaust. Throughout his later life, Hitler spent the majority of his time organizing discriminatory laws that prevented Jewish citizens’ basic rights and ultimately their demise. However, before he advanced such laws and politics, he served as the Head of State, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, until he became the Fuhrer of Germany’s Third Reich which began in 1933 and ended in 1945 (Jewish Virtual Library). His actions were fueled by an unrelenting and strict hate for the Jewish community, better known as anti-Semitism, much like the vast majority of Eastern countries. Both
The Silber Medal winning biography, “Surviving Hitler," written by Andrea Warren paints picture of life for teenagers during the Holocaust, mainly by telling the story of Jack Mandelbaum. Avoiding the use of historical analysis, Warren, along with Mandelbaum’s experiences, explains how Jack, along with a few other Jewish and non-Jewish people survived.
During the end of the 1930’s, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party rose into action. Hitler is commonly referenced and linked with World War II, and has become famous for his brutal dictatorship in Germany. Adolf Hitler began the persecution of Jews with the belief that they were insignificant to the human race. Along with Jews, he believed that handicapped, mentally ill, and elderly people did not deserve the right to live. This horrifying genocide killed over 2/3 of the Jewish population in Europe.
...or group of people that posed a threat to his ideologies. He ordered to have his generals and subordinates who did not side with him on very important issues, hanged. From a careful look at the life of Hitler and what he did from the beginning of his political career through to the end of his life shows a man who was mentally ill. There were other people in his generation who went through a hard childhood and there were people during that age and time who were tortured in prison; but not all of them rose to power and committed atrocities like Adolf Hitler did. Hitler exhibited some very weird physical attributes like his infantilism and some very complicated personal qualities like love for decapitation. His ideologies were very inhumane too. All these points to a man who was not crazy as influenced by his environmental or social factors but mentally was not stable.
Adolf Hitler had a bad childhood that made him a bad man in his adult years. Hitler’s grandfather was jewish. He was a troubled child ever since he was 7. He had a bad childhood his grandpa used to beat him when he didn’t listen. That made him a bad man when he was older. He killed millions of jews and other people. He didn’t have a good family in his life growing up.He didn’t really have a mom she would rather spend time with men instead of her own son. Altho he was a bad man that killed millions and sent people to death camps. It wasn’t his fault he became an afol man. It was because of his childhood that started the camps the slaughter of jews and blacks and gays.
Adolf Hitler was born in Austria-Hungary on April 20, 1889, to mother, Klara Hitler, and father, Alois Hitler; a German by blood.
Every person has their own opinion on Adolf Hitler, but some do believe he was a good man. He did very terrible things that didn’t even need to be done, and ruined many lives. I have always wondered what could lead Adolf Hitler to want to do such terrible things to such innocent people and destroy so many lives. Only serial killers could find joy in killing a person because it gives them a rush. Once they feel that rush they want to feel it again and again. That’s what leads them to keep going and doing it over and over. Hitler’s mind was like a serial killers mind. He was so okay with going into other countries and destroying them and killing whoever came in his way. What does that have anything to do with the Jews? They were simple people just living their lives and he needed a target to make his campaign stronger. A Psychopath would kill 6 million Jews to make sure they can have what they
After World War I, the state of Germany was in chaos. This helped Hitler’s campaign to be built on propaganda and fear. In this case, his exploitations of fear were directed towards the Jewish population and other minorities in Germany. Almost all who rallied behind Hitler centered the blame towards the Jewish; again, using them as a scapegoat for the poor condition that Germany was left in. However it wasn’t just the people he absolutely abhorred who lived in fear, people who fit Hitler’s specific criteria were described as, “ Also living in constant fear of doing or saying anything wrong...” (MacKenzie). Anyone who spoke against anything Hitler believed was instantly painted a target, also any connection with the groups he was opposed to was not taken lightly. So not only did Hitler evolve fear into total paranoia, but into a complete psychological control system over the whole nation. Consequently, this power lead to the demise of millions of innocent
This essay agrees to a certain extent that Hitler’s Charisma certainly contributed to the aspects that aided him into mounting to power; however, there were other features that also assisted Hitler. For instance, Hitler’s main understanding of the people i.e. the promises he made to the Germans, the fall of the Weimar republic, the great depression, and the treaty of Versailles that heavily obstructed Germany as a whole. Hitler’s charisma may have helped him become the chancellor but it was also with the help of the great propagandas set by Paul Joseph Goebbels. This essay will further discuss the elements that facilitated with Hitler’s success in Germany, and the way that his charisma helped him obtain certain aspects of his success.
Adolf Hitler, an Austrian born German politician, a once decorated World War I veteran, the leader of Nazi Germany, the man responsible for the holocaust and millions of deaths, is without a doubt the most hated man of the 20th Century and arguably throughout the entire history of the human race. Adolf Hitler did many things throughout his lifetime that have affected the outcome of the world today, such as what he did to the Jewish people or how he attempted and almost succeeded in conquering the world. Most people know the main things that Hitler did because of how much they affected the world, but not as many people understand exactly how it was that this man rose to power in the first place. Adolf Hitler rose to power very quickly because
How could one man rise to power and terrorize the entire world? How could he gain enough followers who would believe in his horrible cause? We may not understand the reasons, but this is exactly what Adolf Hitler was able to do. Many people in the world know about the German dictator known as Adolf Hitler. The man who single-handedly turned Germany into a powerful machine of War and started World War Two (World Book 2001). Some people see Hitler as an extremely horrible person. Others see him as a man of great vision. He was a combination of both of these things. This paper is about the life of Adolf Hitler and his motivations for doing his evil deeds. It will describe Hitler’s birth, his life as a child, his adolescence, his rise to power, his defeat, and death. Hopefully, the information given will shed more light on the subject of Hitler’s mind and the thoughts behind his actions.
Hitler was always a different person, when he was nine, he was into evil stuff especially war, he became so intriged he became a German soldier, he was a solider during WW1, during WW1 he was blinded by a gas attack, later he found that Germany surrendered. He felt as if the Germans just gave up and wanted to lead a stronger regein. Many people who grew up to him and were close to his knew he was an odd kid, but he was also very short and strict, and in some ways polite. Then as he became older he took over as head nazi and exterminated over six million jews. Why would hitler want to kill inoccent people such as the Jews? He wanted to create "the perfect race" and his way of doing that was to kill everyone who was inperfect.
During childhood Hitler experienced an abusive relationship from his father leading him to develop many feelings of inferiority. Hitler’s childhood was one that did not provide any freedom. The only thing that Hitler could have control over was his own feelings from which he “refused to give his father the satisfaction of crying, even after 32 lashes” (Stephen A. Diamond 2014). Narcissistic personality disorder is usually developed when an individual is trying to compensate for experiences they had at an earlier age. As he grew up he was seeking the empowerment at any cost without caring for the harm they may cause to anyone else. Hitler chased this power by getting involved in politics. With all the anger and hatred, he had towards his father because of his childhood his search for superiority was filled with an aggressive personality. To be able to help a person with this personality disorder a group of health care must work together around the affected one to provide a good environment to start a person’s personality change. Unfortunately, the treatment can only be accomplished if the client understands and accepts that he has a problem. This is often difficult because
Centuries later and the name Adolf Hitler still rings volumes till this present day: discussed in history books, talked about amongst intellects and commoners alike, and despised by many for years to come. Upon hearing his name many may think of all the negative things Hitler has done, but few fail to analyze just how one man created such controversy amongst a nation without being stopped. The question then lies how does a man reign over country and devastate it for years to come? Adolf Hitler, a man who excelled in persuasion and charisma was able to reign over Germany for years. Born in Austria April 20th 1889, Hitler grew up with many hardships in his life.
World War II was one of the worst events in human history, but also one of the most influential. For those who dont know, World War II was started by the German Empire, and more specificaly, Adolf Hilter.
