    Alot of people ask today “What exactly was Hitler’s obsession with the whole “Superior Race”?” Hitler did not invent the hatred towards Jews. Hitler grew up in Vienna where the Mayor was extremely anti-Semitic and where hatred of Jews was widespread. One of the most important reasons for Hitler’s deep seated obsession for the Jews was that he thought of them as an inferior. In his speeches and conversations, Hitler passionately stated his belief that the Germans were the descendants of the mighty Aryan race. He firmly believed that it was the destiny of his race to rule the world. Other races like the Jews were to be their servants. As time went on this hatred eventually became his belief that the Jews should be killed and their entire race ought to be wiped out.

The Nazis used a brainwashing technique called propaganda to convince the German population that the non-Aryan and more importantly the Jewish people were ‘rats’ and

    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.
