...in which many ‘monsters’, including Adolf Hitler himself, killed a vast amount of Jewish, handicap, old, and gypsies. The Nazi’s ran many camps where they worked these citizens very hard and ended up killing a lot of them. Their goal was to listen to their leader, without question, and kill all these “imperfect” beings to create a world which consisted of only the most beautiful humans. Some watched as the world crumbled and lost a large part of a civilization, let the world be partially destroyed as they decided not to question their leader(s). A monster, in this case, is a person who does evil to many beings. Another good term for a monster would be a bully. The common men in this case are the soldiers or the innocent...

...Hitler’s Influences Imagine creating a monster. Many people have wondered what must have happened to Adolf Hitler to have made him such an awful man. Hitler was most affected by his parents, Georg von Schönerer and Karl Lueger, and Benito Mussolini of Italy. First, Hitler was affected by his parents, Alois and Klara. Hitler went into “2 years of depression and lived in a homeless shelter after blowing all the money his parents had left for him,” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 2017). He experienced depression when he was rejected from an art school, which happened shortly after his mother died when he was 17. After being rejected from two different art schools, Adolf spent all his money on the glamorous life that he wished he had, but instead he ended in deeper waters than intended. He had no one to guide and love him, so he went on to meet unfortunate people that only helped build the monster. In addition, Hitler was also affected by Georg von Schönerer and Karl Lueger. These men “taught him about anti-semitism, pan-Germanism, and the basic skills and dogma to overtake the Nazi party,” (Hummel 2013). This means he learned to be prejudice against Jews, to get all Europeans to speak German, and how to overthrow the Nazi party and become the overall ruler. For example, the idea of...

...bad because of some reason that they do not approve of. For example Adolf Hitler is a big example of a villain. Another villain is Randall Boggs from the movie Monsters Inc. Another example of a villain is Goliath from the Bible. These are three examples of villains that are well known. They all have something in common. Either it is that they are mean, violent, scary, and so much more. What made Adolf Hitler bad was the idea of him wiping out the Jews and not so perfect people until only the perfect race could exist. The reason that made him do this was because during this time Germany was in a poor economic state. Adolf Hitler wants to murder all people who are not so perfect. That is what makes him bad. Adolf Hitler tries to achieve to wipe out the imperfect. What he does is basically make concentration camps and starts to capture and take other countries’ land.

...society is plagued with monsters in its midst. These monsters feed off of every good and beautiful thing in the world; they are inhumanly cruel and wicked. Just like a disease, they eat at society at every angle until it is destroyed and they achieve their ambitions. A man named Josef Mengele comes to mind when the word monster is spoken. Working as head physician in Auschwitz during World War II, he selected gas chamber victims with delight and performed torturous experiments on the prisoners at the camp in hopes to learn how to create a perfect Aryan race. At the hands of propaganda and solitude, Josef Mangele's innocence was stolen and he was brainwashed into becoming...

...Have you ever wondered what it would be like during the Holocaust or how it would feel to live every day with fear? Adolf Hitler’s Lifestyle or way of life was full of hatred and cruelty including injustice. Adolf Hitler was no human being, therefore he was a monster. Responsible for at least killing 6 million Jews, made him a very cruel man. He was a man who only wanted perfect people in the world because of 2 racist authors. Not to mention Adolf was a very manipulative person and wanted everybody that wasn’t under his liking wiped off the face of the earth. It’s truly sad how Hitler turned compassionate by cruel people. Both authors put very harsh things into Hitler’s head about Jewish people and they just bring destruction...

...vigor! I ought to show this off to the world and make Italy a big man on campus! I think I’ll take one of these little freshman punks and terrify him into giving me and my gang his lunch money every day from now on. Wait, do I see that scrawny little punk Ethiopia? Is he just walking through the halls without a bully on his back? Yo, Ethiopia, come here…” Ethiopia may have been poorly equipped, but they still put up an amazingly feisty fight with their spears and shields. Still, their capital, Addis Ababa, fell to Italy’s military might and fresher technology and tactics in 1936 (Hunt, An Age of Catastrophes 846). How did the League of Nations respond to this? They were disappointed enough to vote sanctions against Italy. Regardless of that, Britain and France kept the sanctions from going into effect since they didn’t want an embargo on oil (Hunt, An Age of Catastrophes 846). I also believe these two nations thought, “We still don’t want to lose Italy like this! If Germany goes crazy, we might need Italy to back us up against this monster! Snap out of it, Italy, and come back to the days of the Entente!” I also think that, although France has its pride even in the face of defeat, it was secretly worried about suffering further injuries for the time being. Let us now move on to when Hitler took Austria. This man already had special connections with Austria that made things rather easy from the get-go. Although Hitler was a German politician, he was Austrian by...

...three-year Spanish Civil War and the fascist dictatorship that followed are largely kept out of the American history books. Yet, the world is privy to much of its legacy through literature, art, film, and personal memory. Spain certainly remembers three hellish years of war and thirty six years of repression under Generalisimo Fransisco Franco, but how is General Franco remembered by the rest of the world? What legacy did he leave internationally? 2 It is a confused and varied one: to those closest to him he was a husband, father, and statesman; to Hitler, he was an obstacle on the road to world domination; to the Jews who fled from Hitler he was a hero; but to the many Spanish minorities and to his opponents in the Spanish Civil War he was a monster. The answers to the questions posed are addressed in a variety of sources. One of these sources is the book Hitler Stopped by Franco, by Jane and Burt Boyar, who write a relatively straightforward book that explores many positive sides of Franco’s character. An alternative, contemporary view of the dictator, Franco: A Concise Biography written by Gabrielle Hodges focuses on the negative legacy of General Franco. This side of Franco rears its head in many other sources, including...

The Boy who Dared by Susan Campbell Bartoletti is a book based on the story of Helmuth´s life during, and leading up to him being in a concentration camp.

...Why there are Hitler’s and Stalin’s and Mussolini’s in this world? There are Hitler followers in the world because he was a strong extremist patriot, and this is what the Germans thought they needed. German’s felt they were going to fail under the Weimar republic and the felt this way because In its 14 years, the Weimar Republic was faced with numerous problems, including hyperinflation, political extremists on the left and the right and their paramilitaries, and hostility from the victors of World War I, who tried twice to restructure Germany's reparations payments through the Dawes Plan and the Young Plan (WikiPedia )and they needed a strong dictator to get them back on their feet. People feared him and were afraid of him, as they knew what he and the Nazi party could do to them. The Germans followed Hitler because he was promising the people what they wanted, after the treaty of Versailles Germany had become a country with an army limited to 100,000 men, they had to take the blame for the war and had to pay back all the war debts, their economy was terrible (Miller). Hitler was a great speaker Hitler promised to take them out of their depression and he kept his promise and made Germany a power house. Hitler was very intelligent and even though he was mad, he was brilliant. Hitler was changing Germany into his vision of what he wanted it to be and obviously there were people who agree with him therefore followed him. He was the greatest spokesman.

...Adolf Hitler: The Man or the Monster PSY 300 Adolf Hitler: The Man and his Demons Introduction “One blood demands one Reich!” (Hitler, 1999). Adolf Hitler was not the man that everyone believes him to be. This paper will explain how Sigmund Freud’s theory and Carl Rogers Humanistic theory relate to Adolf Hitler and will shed light on how the two theories may have shaped him into the infamous man in history today. This paper will also hold the element of surprise and enlightenment due to information that is not regularly discussed whenever an individual hears the name Adolf Hitler. Discussion Background Information Adolf Hitler was born on April 20th, 1899 to Alois Hitler and Klara Polzi. He was the second youngest child out of his five siblings. Both Alois and Klara had known poverty but had strived for a better way to live. The Hitler’s led a fairly comfortable middle- class life but family dynamics left much to be desired. As a father Alois was stern, distant, and irritable and as a husband he expected full obedience from his wife. (cite hitler book) He enjoyed spending outside over spending time with his family, leaving them to their own devices. Luckily for the children Klara did her best to combat how their father treated them and showered them with affection. Klara developed a strong bond with Adolf that was returned with fervor. In his autobiography, Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote “I had honored my father but loved my mother.” (Hitler, 1999). Hitler was the...

...Hitler's Book "Mein Kampf" Although it is thought of as having been 'written' by Hitler, Mein Kampf is not a book in the usual sense. Hitler never actually sat down and pecked at a typewriter or wrote longhand, but instead dictated it to Rudolph Hess while pacing around his prison cell in 1923-24 and later at an inn at Berchtesgaden. Reading Mein Kampf is like listening to Hitler speak at length about his youth, early days in the Nazi Party, future plans for Germany, and ideas on politics and race. The original title Hitler chose was "Four and a Half Years of Struggle against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice." His Nazi publisher knew better and shortened it to "Mein Kampf," simply My Struggle, or My Battle. In his book, Hitler divides humans into categories based on physical appearance, establishing higher and lower orders, or types of humans. At the top, according to Hitler, is the Germanic man with his fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes. Hitler refers to this type of person as an Aryan. He asserts that the Aryan is the supreme form of human, or master race. And so it follows in Hitler's thinking, if there is a supreme form of human, then there must be others less than supreme, the Untermenschen, or racially inferior. Hitler assigns this position to Jews and the Slavic peoples, notably the Czechs, Poles, and Russians. "...it [Nazi philosophy] by no means believes in an equality of races, but along with their difference it recognizes their higher or lesser...

Hitler is a monster of wickedness，insatiable in his lust for blood and plunder.The Nazi regimes devoid of all theme and principle except appetite and racial domination.It excels in all forms of human wickedness，in the efficiency of its cruelty and ferocious aggression.No one has been a more consistent opponent of Communism than I have for the last twenty-five years.I will unsay no words that I‘ve spoken about it.But all this fades away before the spectacle which is now unfolding. The past， with its crimes，its follies and its tragedies，flashes away.I see the Russian soldiers standing on the threshold of their native land， guarding the fields which their fathers have tilled from time immemorial.I see them guarding their homes，their mothers and wives pray，ah，yes，for there are times when all pray for the safety of their loved ones，for the return of the breadwinner，of...

...Was Hitler a madman or genius? Many have asked if hitler was really a madman because of all the suffering he caused and the tragedy he brought upon the humanity? Or is he a genius because he was able to create an empire where they believed that what he stand for was right, so much that they did everything he commanded.

...The Japanese poster provided depicts a short asian man, that looks similar to a vampire. The pointed ears and fangs portray the Japanese as monsters. The man is holding a knife, perhaps to signify the presumed Japanese ‘betrayal’ of America. Additionally, there is a swastika depicted on the Japanese coat, probably used to signify the Japanese choosing the side of the Axis powers, in contrast to the allied United States. Of course, our society now sees these ‘racial stereotypes’, depicted in posters such as the one provided, as WWII propaganda used to input fear and racial prejudice towards the Japanese Americans. Many, as of today, probably see this poster as blatant racism and as a poor, offensive joke. However, within the WWII era, these propaganda posters were very effective in influencing the ways Americans viewed Japanese immigrants, or even Japanese Americans. In fact, several imprisonment camps were set in order to over-look the Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor. Additionally, Japanese Americans were prime suspects of spying and plotting attacks with the Japanese attackers. Compare this to today’s...
