Recommended: Hitler's actions leading to ww2

The war finished 13 years ago, but in a way, it hasn’t finished yet. Germany is torn into multiple pieces, I suppose that Hitler didn’t think that we might lose he was so fixated on tactics and victory he forgot that the war had to end and that we had to win or else we would pay the price of multiple war crimes. We killed 6 million people, people that had done nothing wrong but from the eyes of Hitler, they had done everything wrong, all because of the religion. 1.5 million children died because of the family they were born in, and I was a part of that, I helped, I killed, and I know that when they find me they will convict me of war crimes and they will kill me, and you know what, I deserve that. When I left the people that just happen to

    I was born in 1943, in the midst of this war. And I sense now that my life is still bound up with the lives of those who lived and died in this time. Even with Heinrich Himmler. All the details of his existence, his birth, childhood, adult years, death, still resonate here on earth. . . .

  • The Letter in All Quiet on the Wester Front

    462 Words  | 1 Pages

    Just like you I had once fallen for all of the propaganda going around Germany. An old teacher I used to know named Kantorich had filled my and many of my classmates heads with patriotic reasons to why we should join the army. We eventually gave in to this crazy man and signed in. From the very first battle I have been in all I have been around is horror, bodies tangling into unnatural shapes, blood and tears everywhere, along with watching close friends of mine die horrible deaths. One of my classmates named Joseph Behm was the most reluctant to give into Kantorek’s pressure, he died a very slow and horrible death. Another close friend of mine had received a leg wound and, after treatment, took a day or two to realize that he had his leg amputated. Soon after, he had died also. I have been around many horrific battles where I have found myself diving into unburied graves to just stay alive. Over and over again I see men turned into a mush of blood and splintered bones and I wonder when it will be my turn to get it. Tobacco and card games seem to be my only salvation to maintain my sanity. The only hope that I have seen demonstrated out of any of my fellow soldiers has been scarce talk about who will do what after the war. I personally feel that my peers and I have had the rest of our lives stolen from us. Even if I do get out of this nightmare I realize that I have no established life to come back to, my old hobby in poetry has escaped me as it seems that all of this awfulness has made me a hardened man, ignorant to all of the old interests that I had.

  • The Holocaust: Non-Jewish Victims

    After Germany lost World War I, it was in a national state of humiliation. Their economy was in the drain, and they had their hands full paying for the reparations from the war. Then a man named Adolf Hitler rose to the position of Chancellor and realized his potential to inspire people to follow. Hitler promised the people of Germany a new age; an age of prosperity with the country back as a superpower in Europe. Hitler had a vision, and this vision was that not only the country be dominant in a political sense, but that his ‘perfect race’, the ‘Aryans,’ would be dominant in a cultural sense. His steps to achieving his goal came in the form of the Holocaust. The most well known victims of the Holocaust were of course, the Jews. However, approximately 11 million people were killed in the holocaust, and of those, there were only 6 million Jews killed. The other 5 million people were the Gypsies, Pols, Political Dissidents, Handicapped, Jehovah’s witnesses, Homosexuals and even those of African-German descent. Those who were believed to be enemies of the state were sent to camps where they were worked or starved to death.

  • An Introductory Paragraph On The Holocaust

    1651 Words  | 4 Pages

    Even though the past is in the past, we can not let something like this happen again. If a genocide occurs in America, then we have officially failed as a country. This is not something we can forget, this is something life threatening. It comes down to people being too afraid to say anything to stop what was really going on in Germany. Many experiments went on outside Germany by a psychologist named Milgram; his findings were spot on with how the people of Germany went about everything during the Holocaust. Milgram 's experiment shows that when someone has authority, everyone else will do what the person “in charge” says, regardless if it’s right or wrong (Staub).

    Ordinary men have the capacity to commit extraordinary crimes and on April 11, 1961, Adolf Eichmann an ordinary looking man faced trial for the murder of five million Jews. Adolf Eichmann served in the Nazi party as their expert on Jewish matters. During the Nuremberg trials that took place years before Eichmann’s trial, many witnesses testified to the control Eichmann had over the implementation of the final solution. SS Captain Wisliceny worked under Eichmann in Hungary in 1944 and he proclaimed that Eichmann said, “he would jump into his grave laughing, because of the feeling that he had five million people on his conscience, gave him extraordinary satisfaction’” (48). Also, Eichmann worked with the members of Jewish councils, and they claimed in earlier trials that he had a direct hand in the “Jewish Question” (49). With a heavy list of witness accounts and facts to proof that Eichmann committed the crimes, he did not face his day in court till many years later and that appeared to be fine with most

  • Argumentative Essay On Capital Punishment

    1695 Words  | 4 Pages

    Capital Punishment has been a controversial issue in society for centuries. It stands as a significant topic in our community due to its ambiguity in creating and maintaining a less vulnerable society. Skeptics of Capital Punishment are against it in the case of supposedly moral grounds such as wrongfully accusing the subject of the crime as well as the suggestion that human life should be a right for everyone and no one should have the capability to deprive anyone of it. Others argue that it is a highly justifiable method of punishment in serious criminal cases and that society would become a more guarded place if it were more prominently enforced. As a result of the controversy revolving around Capital Punishment, it has been abolished in many countries but remains intact in some. In regards to the positive effects of Capital Punishment, it should be the preferred method of penalizing murderers compared to a lifetime jail sentence, as it protects society, is the most justifiable manner of punishment and warns potential murderers.

In fact, she goes on to argue that should one choose not to execute on the grounds of murder, we the people would be committing a moral injustice to the deceased. Capital punishment should essentially be viewed as lawfully ending the life of a human being as the result of a their decision to commit a heinous crime that fatally injured another person; however murder, as defined by Carmical is, “the unlawful and malicious or premeditated killing of one human being by another.” The death penalty is clearly defined within its name alone, a penalty given by a court of law as the result of a malicious crime. The murderer is not sentenced to death without cause; they are suffering the consequences of their crime. The death of the accused is completed by government
