Mein Kampf as a Blueprint for the Holocaust. Introduction The Holocaust has become the worst event in human history but why did it happen? Mein Kampf was written by who many would consider one of the evilest men to walk the earth; a man whose ideas committed one of the worst crimes in all of the man kinds history on this earth. Adolf Hitler with only his voice took the lives of millions of homosexuals, gypsies, blacks, disabled people and most of all Jewish people just for not being a part
Mein Kampf was Adolf Hitler’s life story and his ideals about the world. The first nine chapters of the book explain how he got into his current predicament. Then he goes into great detail on why he dislikes the Jews and why all Germans should dislike the Jews as well. Hitler writes about the Jewish press and how they influence the society: But it is just for our intellectual demi-monde that the Jew writes his so-called intellectual press. For them the Frankfurter Zeitung and the Berliner Tageblatt
Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf was a racist book that expressed Adolf Hitler’s hatred for Jews and Communists and should have never been written because it expresses many false ideas and it helped rile the people into an anti-Semitic opinion.

This is not true because Jews have accomplished many things. A mighty accomplishment
Mein Kampf is an autobiography written by Adolf Hitler, who is considered to be one of the most hated people in the world. This was written at Hitler low point when he was in jail. When chapter 2 starts, Hitler does not show much hate for the Jewish population. He was just talking about his journey in Vienna and his pursuit of artistic studies. After he talks about the clear social class system that existed in the city at the time. Then he talks about some of his political views and it concludes
The book Mein Kampf written by Hitler, explicitly states Hitler 's hate for the Jews. This hate is what led him to believe that it was his responsibility to create a pure country out of Germany, by excluding the other types of races and focusing on the Aryan race, which is what he believed to be the superior.This idea would later result in in the Holocaust. Although Hitler was an intelligent individual the scientific and cultural basis he uses to prove his beliefs are completely foolish, and
compelled the German people to follow him into anything. Hitler brought the brainwashed Germans into war against the world that should have never been fought because it made it seem like Germans were always doing the right thing. In Hitlers book Mein Kampf, Hitler writes, "All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless Goddess of Distress or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people"

There is almost no debate on what the most dangerous book in the world is; many people agree that Mein Kampf is the most hate-filled, horrid book of all. It was written by Adolf Hitler, the Nazi ruler who killed millions of people in the Holocaust. He was born in Austria, but grew up to become chancellor of Germany. In Mein Kampf, he details his plans for a new and improved Germany by creating the Third Reich. Along with his that, he also wrote about his young life, his opinions on race, and the
background research, I learned that Hitler never actually sat down to write his book, “Mein Kampf.” Instead, between the years of 1923 and 1924, he paced back and forth in his prison cell, dictating the book to Rudolph Hess. The original title Hitler had picked for the book was “Four and a Half Years of Struggle against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice,” but the editor of the book decided it was best revised to “Mein Kampf.” While reading the book, it is as though Hitler was there speaking in detail about
To start off, Hitler’s famous piece of work, “Mein Kampf”, a compelling and wicked book, gained popularity when he became chancellor in the 1933 in which his intentions for war were stated within the book.

Also because it was during World War II, and because it was caused by probably one of the most crazy and worst person to live. This is apart of world history, so of course we will study about it. It happened during World War II, by the Nazi Regime in Germany. It was the killing of 12 million undesirables, as
about Mein Kampf. He speaks about the role Mein Kampf plays during his journey to arrive at the Hubermann household.

When hiding in the Hubermann’s basement, Max paints over the pages of Mein Kampf, and writes The Standover Man, a book about Max
Hitler: Old Ideas, New Meanings The second World War was a consequence of one man and his idealistic dream. Adolf Hitler strove to further the "Aryan" race at the expense of other people and cultures. However, for such an idealistic man, Hitler was fairly unoriginal. He borrowed the swastika, the main symbol used in the war to indicate Nazi rule, from ancient civilizations. Hitler also borrowed mythology from other cultures to promote his ideas. The swastika was far from being Hitler's own
