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

    Politics. Politics control this world, and sometimes for the worst. Politicians can be deceiving, and lie right to you, with no signs of remorse. They can be the worst type of human being, manipulating you for their own cause. They can be evil. In America, the next presidential election is approaching, and we have many of these politicians trying to become our next president. Although there are many, I 'm going to concentrate on one. Donald Trump. He is a corrupt politician, and a cancer to our society. This man is so malevolent, he is drawing comparisons to one of the most barbarous men of all time, Adolf Hitler. These men are eerily similar, and I am uneasy knowing that someone that could be our next president is showing similarities to a mass murderer. These are not erroneous claims. Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler are similar because of their rhetorical abilities, hating of

    The Holocaust and the Bosnian genocide had many similarities and differences in their course of events. Unfortunately, genocides like the Jewish Holocaust and the Bosnian genocide still continue to happen today. Jews were constantly persecuted before the Holocaust because they were deemed racially inferior. During the 1930’s, the Nazis sent thousands of Jews to concentration camps. Hitler wanted to wipe out all the European Jews in a plan called The “Final Solution to the Jewish Problem” (World History).

    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

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.

All women were separated from the man and woman were mostly killed instantly only some got the opportunity to work.

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.

  • How Does Lindbergh Use Metaphors In The Plot Against America

    782 Words  | 2 Pages

    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

    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.

  • 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
