World War II: Hitler’s Jewish Genocide
It is regarded as the most widespread and deadliest conflict in human history, killing more than 50 million people. World War II was the largest armed conflict in history, spanning the entire world, and involving more countries than any other war. The war has been generally believed to start on September 1, 1939 and lasting until September 2, 1945. Historians are still arguing about the exact cause of World War II, however the common belief of fault resides on the implementation of Adolf Hitler. Hitler was possessed by a passionate set of ideals to expand Germany, and with his election as German chancellor in January 1933, marked the start of ...view middle of the document...
Next I will proclaim how Hitler used the onset of world war to trigger the extermination of Jews. Then I will explore a journal of medicine to show how Nazi doctors played a key role in determining the fate of Jews. Furthermore, I tend on revealing the contrary argument of how the Holocaust is believed to be a hoax, and in doing so explaining the importance of it. Eventually I plan on amalgamating all this research to argue that Hitlers genocide against the Jews is important to understand.
On June 28, 1919, after World War I, the German government was imposed with the Treaty of Versailles which required Germany to accept sole responsibility for causing the war, and to pay all the war reparations. As a result, Germany was under a state of political instability, worsening economic disaster, and rapid social changes. This chaos was more than enough to make Germans eager for a dynamic leader. With desperation looming on the people of Germany, Adolf Hitler set himself apart from the rest with his charismatic power and appealing ideals. To his followers, he was omnipotent, omniscient, and infallible which led to this extreme Nazi uprising in Germany. Hitler had a system put into action in Germany that consisted of first the spread of ideas, then the rapid organization, and finally the promotion of propaganda. With this system, Hitler was able to implement a successful methodology that would be the result of a strong Nazi movement in Germany. The relationship that Hitler had with his nation begins to explain the rationale of why he was capable of the extermination of millions of people.
Making sense of this genocide, and understanding why this annihilation of large quantities of people was occurring, one needs to understand the the ideology of Hitler. It is believed that Hitler had preconceived sentiments before assuming dictatorship of Germany, much of which has direct relevance to his passionate distaste of Jews. Hence why a great deal of his efforts were to wipe out the Jewish population. As evidence through much of his writings and speeches, Hitler related his principles of the perfect race to the prominence of nature. This association being evident in Hitlers belief of the purity of race being the result of inferior and superior elements. Thus advocating the cultural dogma of creating a perfect race through a manner of a purification process. It is important to understand these ideals Hitler had because it consequently relates to his responsibility, and rationalization of the Jewish genocide.
With over 450,000 Jewish Germans witnessing Hitler’s appointment as Reich Chancellor in 1933, they were soon to bear victim of a process of persecution that would end in the murder of millions of people. This event in history is known as the Holocaust, which is commonly acknowledged as the systematic murder of millions of people. Hitler in particular had a personal ambition in the extermination of over six million Jews. This...
