Over six million Jews were killed under Hitler’s power during the Holocaust. It was the end of World War 1 and Hitler’s anti-Semitism out of resentment for the Germans loss of World War 1 grew. He blamed the Jews for the problems their country was facing and wanted a way to change that. He wanted power, and as much as he could get. Hitler’s takeover of power was about twenty years after World War 1 in 1933. He claimed the Jews were an “imperfect” race of people. Therefore, using the power he had, he would try to accomplish creating the perfect Aryan race. How would he do that? He would do that using Concentration Camps that were brutal and incomprehensible. Concentration Camps during the Holocaust had a huge outcome of Jews and the situations they faced because of their religion. That’s not OK. In the late 1930’s when Concentration camps started to grow in Poland and other countries surrounding that area, they were on average killing over 1000 people each day/week. Why was killing so many innocent Jews necessary to Hitler? Hitler had many motives to why he did so. To Hitler Jews were maggots, a virus that had to be eliminated. He saw himself as the German Messiah doing God’s work by destroying the Jew. Hitler and the Nazis considered the Jew to be like the devil, wishing to dominate the world. When Hitler saw the image of a Jew, he saw an image of Satan. It wasn’t just Jews he wanted to destroy, but he saw the Jews as the main problem, and wanted to destroy them before they infected the entire world. He made himself the supreme racist. All he could think about was murder. He wanted one perfect race of people, all under one nation, with one leader, him.

“Concentration camps (Konzentrationslager; abbreviated as KL or KZ) were an integral feature of the regime in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. The term concentration camp refers to a camp in which people are detained or confined, usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum).

Hitler's main idea was to, as he called it, 'cleanse' Europe of these non-deserving people. Hitler despite having gained anti-Semitic views on his own from things. he saw he was influenced a lot by Neil Darwin. He based a lot of his racial arguments and views on this. However, another point to consider was that the Jews were being used as scapegoats for German problems.

It was Hitler’s ability to make group identity salient within the Aryan German population, the transformation of his ideas to ideology, and his deep hatred for the Jews that ultimately led to the Holocaust. Although Anti-Semitism was already present within German society before Hitler rose to power, he was the actor that enacted policies against Jews and what ultimately led to the Final Solution
Hitler was a totalitarian leader in Germany during WW2 who rose to power due to his promises to make Germany a better country. Germany was at a weakened state, facing a Great Depression, excessive amount of respirations, and other problems had taken a toll on them and resulted in a loss of faith in their country. The lack of hope allowed Hitler to gain a political role in the country, because unlike other leaders at the time he had answers. Although they weren't the cause of the debt and pain that Germany faced, Hitler blamed the Jews. Hitler influenced Germans that Jews were the cause of all their countries problems and noted that with his power he would make sure that they were punished. He went on to later become one of the most vicious
This society, in which Germans would be the conquerors of the world and the leader of every aspect of society, would be a society in which only German Aryans thrived, Hitler told the masses (Noakes). It was essential in order to have a society that was not tainted, to efface those who could poison this wonderful utopia, and thus crush the German dream. The Jews and other inferior races, Hitler told the population, were the ca...
But Hitler made it his goal to kill this imperfect race. “Born in Austria,Hitler served in the German army during World War One.” ( The Holocaust) To him the Jews were an inferior race the needed to be eliminated. He thought that by using anti-semitism he would become more popular with the crowd.
Beginning in 1933, Hitler and his Nazi party targeted not only those of the Jewish religion but many other sets. Hitler was motivated by religion and nationalism to eradicate any threats to his state. It was Hitler’s ideology that his Aryan race was superior to any other. Hitler’s goal was to create a “master race” by eliminating the chance for “inferiors” to reproduce. Besides the Jews the other victims of the genocide include the Roma (Gypsies), African-Germans, the mentally disabled, handicapped, Poles, Slavs, Anti-Nazi political parties, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Homosexuals. In Hitler’s eyes all of these groups needed to be eliminated in order for his master race to be a success.
With Hitler thinking he could rule mankind he not only put Jews through what they went through but he also included other races he was also disgusted with homosexuals and hated them so he always put homosexuals through the stages of the Pick up, to the ghettos and to the concentration camps. Hitler and other high class men had many followers because Hitler was so passionate about what he said to the public and he was a strong smart man with a plan so Germans and his army felt uplifted of his plans and what he said. Hitler was so persuasive he changed the public’s opinion on the Jews and other people so many people joined the Nazis and followed Hitler in his reign of terror.
Hitler used propaganda and manufacturing enemies such as Jews and five million other people, to prepare the country for war. This shows Hitler’s attempt of genocide toward the Jewish race and other races.
The Holocaust is something that when looked upon in history is looked upon with shame by all. Most find it hard to believe that one man was capable of all this hate and anger. For some one to lead these crimes against humanity there must have been events that happened to him to make him so cold. Which leads us to our topic question of why did Hitler order the killing of millions? Many will look back to his troubled child hood where they think he gained many of his anti-semantic views. Hitler is viewed by most as one of the world's most evil person's of all time, but you have to remember at one time this man was envied and followed by a whole nation.
