Recommended: What were the qualities of Adolf Hitler

Imagine walking around wearing a Nazi sign on your uniform, carrying a gun; hearing gun shots being fired all around you. While you are smelling the burning flesh of human beings in the air, and killing thousands of innocent people and their children. Knowing you are the reason that 11 million human beings just like you but with different labels died. You look in the mirror to see the reflection of your face, Adolf’s Hitler’s face. Adolf Hitler was a man of many sorts; he has various characteristics that make him who he is. Adolf ruled Germany as a dictator, he treated Jews like gum on the bottom of his shoe, and he also started many wars, in several places, killing many.
To begin with, Adolf Hitler was a very powerful man. He began his political control in 1919, the year after World War I had come to an end. The German Empire had been overcome, and the nation’s economy was left in the ruins. Hitler than joined a small cluster of men who called themselves later on the Nazis. He soon became their leader, and his supporters believed he may possibly win back Germany’s past brilliance. He swore to the people he would reconstruct Germany into a mighty empire that would last a years. Later on Adolf formed an army that called themselves the “Storm Troopers”. They had a certain uniform they had to wear consisting of a brown shirt with a small swastika sign so people would know who they were. Gaining power he was positive that he and the members of his party could restore Germany so he attacked the government and won the people with his strong-minded speeches. As Hitler grew powerful he also became stronger he specified his plan of getting rid of the Jews and making Germany the most powerful place in the world. In late 1933 and so on Germa...

... Pearl Harbor on December 7th causing Hitler to declare war due to his alliance with the Japanese. From this point on, Hitler4s plans changed vastly. Near the end of it all Hitler had directly conquered fifteen countries and controlled six others.
In conclusion, Hitler was the reason of the Holocaust and the starting of World War II. He started off slight, became immense by what he did to the Jewish race, and attacked many countries. In my opinion, Hitler was a disturbing fellow who deserved nothing but the worst.

  • Why Did Adolf Pick The Jews?

    354 Words  | 1 Pages

    While Hitler's hate was the main reason for Holocaust, we are not sure why it was allowed to go on to the death of most the Jews and the others that Hitler hated. Hitler was helped in his planning of Holocaust by the fact that discrimination against Jews was acceptable in Germany and few spoke out against it, but that is not a complete answer. We must look instead to the fact that the Nazi general beliefs permeated all things of life in Nazi Germany until there was no one left to protest against Holocaust.

  • Life and Death in the Third Reich, by Peter Fritzsche

    1140 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the Holocaust, around six million Jews were murdered due to Hitler’s plan to rid Germany of “heterogeneous people” in Germany, as stated in the novel, Life and Death in the Third Reich by Peter Fritzsche. Shortly following a period of suffering, Hitler began leading Germany in 1930 to start the period of his rule, the Third Reich. Over time, his power and support from the country increased until he had full control over his people. Starting from saying “Heil Hitler!” the people of the German empire were cleverly forced into following Hitler through terror and threat. He had a group of leaders, the SS, who were Nazis that willingly took any task given, including the mass murder of millions of Jews due to his belief that they were enemies to Germany. German citizens were talked into participating or believing in the most extreme of things, like violent pogroms, deportations, attacks, and executions. Through the novel’s perspicacity of the Third Reich, readers can see how Hitler’s reign was a controversial time period summed up by courage, extremity, and most important of all, loyalty.

    There are many factors which lead to the Holocaust, however anti-Semitism was the greatest cause of the conflict. Anti-Semitism is the common name for anti-Jewish sentiments.

  • The Holocaust: The Most Significant Cause Of The Holocaust

    1994 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Holocaust, the mass killing of the Jewish people in Europe, is the largest genocide in history to this date. Over the course of the Holocaust nearly six million Jewish people were killed by the Nazi Party and Germany led by Adolf Hitler. There are multiple contributing factors to the Holocaust that made it so large in scope. Historians argue which of these factors were most significant. The most significant contributing factor is the source of the Holocaust, the reason it occurred. This source is Adolf Hitler and his hatred for Jewish people. In comparison to the choices of the Allies to not accept Jewish refugees and to not take direct military action to end the Holocaust, the most significant contributing factor of the Holocaust is that Adolf Hitler was able to easily rise to power with the support of the German people and rule Germany.

    937 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Holocaust led to the death and extermination of millions of Jews. It started in the early twentieth century about 20 years after WWII. The Holocaust was controlled by the Nazis, who were under the strict and demanding power of Adolf Hitler. This evil man had ideas of being the biggest and most powerful empire in the world. He wanted this empire to be dominated by a primary race, Aryan. When you put all these things together, you get The Holocaust. The Holocaust was a gigantic event that took place in multiple countries. Do you really think an event that large could take its course in just a couple of weeks? Of course not. Hitler was not only evil, but he was also smart. He used propaganda to publicly discriminate the Jews until the civilians thought of the Jewish people as a lesser race. Now that he had the community in that mindset, Hitler could take control of the Jews for the rest of their lives without anybody trying to stop them.
