...In the words of Will Durant “When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near.”. Adolf Hitler was designated as the chancellor on January 30, 1933. He was a dictator and a leader of Germany. It was a horrible time period for Germany during the time of Hitler’s control. Adolf Hitler’s reign of terror started when he used the monetary sadness to become the chancellor, he started the World War II, which was dreadful, and he had an awful impact on the Jews’ whom he referred to as the “undesirables”. One of the biggest factors in Hitler’s rise to power was the economic depression in 1929. In “Hitler Comes to Power” by Patricia Smith, it states “The Nazis promised to stop reparation payments, to give all Germans jobs and food, and to make them...

...As a result of The Holocaust, was the most terrifying thing the people went through. The deliberate attempt to exterminate the Jewish people of Europe. Racial struggle was key element in Adolf Hitler's ideology and meant to him a clearly defined conflict of opposite: the Aryans, creators of human cultural development, against the Jews, parasites who were trying to destroy the Aryans art. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party had a meeting in 1922 and the dictator proclaimed, “ There can be no compromise, there are only two possibilities: either victory of the Jew.” Adolf Hitler later toned down his anti-semitic message when his party sought mass electoral victories, andt-Semitism was a recurring theme in Nazism and resulted in a wave of legislative...

...charismatic leader. They found that in Adolf Hitler. Hitler joined the German Work Party in 1919. The party embraced right-wing ideology which suited Hitler’s views. Adolf Hitler was a captivating speaker and he encouraged national pride, militarism and commitment to the Volk (people) and a racially “pure” Germany. Hitler changed the name of the party to the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, shortened to the Nazi Party. He hated the Jews and promoted anti-Semitism. There are many stories as to why Hitler hated the Jews, but it is commonly thought that it was because many Jews were merchants and financially successful, when many workers struggled during the depressed economic state of Germany. He had actually developed his dislike for Jews long before he became a soldier. Hitler was appointed chancellor in 1933 and since he had the support of approximately 400,000 Nazis, he was able to overthrow the democratic government and on March 23, 1933 became the dictator of Germany. As dictator, he could then turn his attention to the driving force which had propelled him into politics in the first place, his hatred of the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and his idea of a racially “pure” Germany. This paper will examine Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and how the greatest persecution in the world began when Hitler became dictator and would not end until years later in the greatest tragedy in all of human history, the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was born in Austria in 1889 to a...

...Biography - Adolf Hitler Sherri Hiott MAN4304 Dr. Gisela Salas April 1, 2015 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Background 3 Charismatic Leadership 7 Transformational Leadership 7 Style Approach 8 Conclusion 6 References 7 Introduction Leadership does not have an exact definition. It can have different meanings to different people. “Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal” (Northouse, 2012, pg. 5). The process by which a person influences others to accomplish a goal or objective is carried out by applying their leadership attributes. A leader has a variety of attributes that affect how they accomplish their goal. These attributes include beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills. Leaders often are charismatic, good communicators, and have the ability to motivate (Northouse, 2012). Leadership normally combines a goal that coincides with the leader’s beliefs. Leaders are usually perceived in positive light, although just because you are a leader does not mean it is for a virtuous cause. The objective of some leaders can be immoral. This type of leader is referred to as a pseudo- transformational leader. This type of leader is “self-consumed, exploitive, and power oriented, with warped moral values” (Northouse, 2012, pg. 187). Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party and the Chancellor of Germany but the ramifications of his leadership had a devastating impact on Eastern...

...Have you ever heard about Adolf Hitler? If so you must know that he is the man who created World War Two. World War Two was a huge tragedy and was a massacre that should never happen ever again. But you must be wondering, how did this all began? I have your answer to this giant misfortune. It all started when a man named Adolf Hitler born April 20, 1889 in Austria. He was the leader of the Nazi Party and believed that the Jewish was the answer to why Germany was under Great Depression after World War One. But truth be told it was all their fault but sadly they thought it’s easier to blame someone else than to blame yourself. So the German citizens were all told to hate the Jewish due to Adolf Hitler telling them that Jewish was the cause...

...Another event in history with similar theories was the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a massacre that is responsible for roughly six million deaths due to Adolf Hitler’s Natzi group and it’s people. Similar to the Salem witch trials, the belief in evil played a role in the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler wanted a “perfect world” and for him to achieve that, he wanted to get rid of all the Jews and anyone who was not perfect. In his mind, he thought that those who were not perfect were evil and wanted them gone. Those who thought Adolf Hitler was right, obviously had a lack of knowledge, or just an abundance of misleading information. The source of many individuals information came from Adolf Hitler, who was a dominate figure, and people trusted what he said. All those who jumped on the Hitler bandwagon didn’t know any better. They were convinced that a “perfect world” was possible and to achieve it they had to kill off those who didn’t meet Hitler’s standards. Adolf Hitler is like the girls in Salem, just on a much larger scale. The girls pointed their fingers at others and because of their previous actions, they had the most power in saying people were witches. Hitler pointed his finger at groups of people and because Hitler was such dominant figure he had the most power in deciding what happened to...

...The Holocaust The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." Adolf Hitler and the German Nazis were responsible for the innocent people who had died during this tragic time. The Nazis set up giant prisons called concentration camps, where prisoners were starved, tortured, and worked to death. Approximately nine million Jews lived in the twenty-one countries. It is impossible to know the real amount of people who died, but six million is a estimate. The Jews were not a threat, they were people who lived in a society where they were alone, hurt, and died brutally in the Holocaust, for no reason....

...Matthew Tucker Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler was born April 20th, 1889 in Austria to Klara and Alois Hitler Sr. Through out his life Hitler experienced both the good and the bad. His father drank heavily, which left his family at his mercy. He usually beat his wife, kids, and sometimes even his dog. Most of his tempers were taken out on Hitler’s older half-‐ brother, who got the worst of the beatings since he was older. At age fourteen he ran away from home to escape from his father. That led to Hitler getting beat more often. His mother, Klara, on the other hand was completely opposite from Hitler’s father. She was often too caring and overprotective and that bothered Hitler as he got older because he longed to be independent. At age six, Hitler was finally able to get a small sense of freedom and self-‐independence when he entered Volksshule. According to his classmates...

...clothes, before all the hatred culminated into the Holocaust. Rita Steinhardt Botwinick further elaborates, “when the slogan “‘the Jews are our misfortune’” became government policy, the Nazis were able to muster the psychological and the physical power to remove said Unglueck.” (Botwinick 44) Hitler believed everything he did was for the betterment of the German people. He idolized the idea of a single race populating the Earth, the Aryan race, which involved cleansing the rest of the world of undesirables. Botwinick states, “For the good of many some, some few must suffer.” (Botwinick 44) With his successful manipulation of the fear among the German people, Hitler gained unparalleled power. The Gestapo was in charge of carrying out Hitler’s orders and Botwinick brings to light an interesting point in regards to them. She remarks, “one can note the connection between the men who committed the acts of unspeakable...

...The Holocaust: Suggested Reading There is a wealth of information about the Holocaust. So much has been written, in fact, that it can be difficult to determine where to start. This reading list is collected from recommendations from other members of The Holocaust History Project. It is not a complete bibliography but represents our opinion as to what are the most useful starting places for research. Since this list concentrates on works that are easily available and useful to a person unacquainted with the history of the Holocaust, many excellent books which are rare or out of print are not listed. Another class of books that are not included is works that are controversial because of their contents or the unusual theories they propose. Some of these are excellent works, others are not. But we feel that the reader for whom this list was compiled would not have the knowledge needed to evaluate these discussions of the legitimate controversies about the Holocaust. Just as a medical student must learn anatomy before he or she is taught surgery, someone studying the Holocaust must know the factual background before some of the more technical studies can be understood. As well as general works we have included books of specialized interest concerning the matters about which we at The Holocaust History Project are most frequently asked. Many of these books deal with more than one subject, but in the interest of brevity we have not cited a book more than once. General history of the...

...on the start of World War II. The people in Italy and Germany wanted a powerful leader to lead them. This is known as fascism, and it was another major cause of World War II. Two men were able to fill Italy's and Germany's need for a strong leader, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Both men were able to gain the trust of their people through their public speech campaigns. Their combined ambitions drove Italy and Germany on a quest to conquer the rest of Europe and become the two most powerful nations. Hitler and Mussolini both respected each other and their goals and decided to form and alliance. With the combined forces of Italy and Germany, and later Japan, Hitler and Mussolini led their nations to a war to conquer...

...Fall Term Essay 1 Mariam Khan 4792982 Political Science 1F90 TA: Ayisha Ali There are many political ideologies in today’s world, and with everyone’s individual views, who can actually say whether one is more right than the other (Gellner, 1-7). Nationalism has been an extremely ancient ideology dating back to primitive people and tribalism (Snyder 1990, 241-249). This concept then manifested itself during Athenian times aiding in the development of the great empires and progressed into England and then jolt started the French revolution (Snyder 1990, 241-249). All these eras of nationalism conjoined political, economical, religious, and ethnic factors to unite peoples and nations (Gellner, 1-7). Nationalism can also be considered an ideology of debate because of its vague definition and complexity. Many people can state nationalism is the appreciation of their country or nation; others can define it as the need for independency (Gellner, 1-7). Both these routes can have negative and positive characteristics and outcomes. The positives are very straight forward, the love of one’s country and bond between citizens can be dubbed vital to the prosperity of a nation or country. What happens when this love of one’s country and the bond between its citizens crosses ethnic and human boundaries? This can be defined as ethnic nationalism, which allows ethnicity to become main component in being a nationalist (Snyder 1990, 241-249). This paper will define nationalism...

It changed them in more than one way,how they think, how they act, how they feel. Their lives were shaped a completely different way due to the wrath of Adolf Hitler's rule. And his massive plan to generate the aryan race and completely take over. As the characters thrived throughout the experience of being secluded changed the personality of the characters. As Anne Frank went through the secret annex her personality changed completely. As in paragraph 83 scene 2 it shows her personality as very enthusiastic and caring. “A darling little cat.
