Adolf Hitler: A Evil Man
Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe
it." Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler, a very terrible and evil man, is a very interesting person to
learn about. Even though he was the one that caused the Holocaust and genocide to his
own people, Hitler is still one of the greatest mysteries of the world. Hitler ordered
anyone who stood against him to be killed. He set up concentration camps where mass
murders took place. This was the beginning of the Holocaust. Hitler is a much hated
man although, through his eyes he was not causing evil.
In Hitler's childhood he was always ordered around by his father who was very
demanding. Hitler was frequently beaten by his father. His father wanted him to follow
in his footsteps. He wanted Hitler to be an architect but he wanted to be an artist. He
tried to enter art school but was rejected twice. Hitler eventually moved to Germany to
join the army where he fought in World War I.
After Germany surrendered, Hitler was shocked and appalled. He felt betrayed.
Hitler had fought for his country and felt crushed. He had battled so hard for Germany
and when they surrendered, he felt like he was betrayed by the one thing he devoted his
life to. To fight back Hitler joined politics.
Hitler joined the National Socialists German Workers Party, later called the Nazi
Party, which he felt had the best interest of Germany in their forefront. Hitler spoke at
meetings for the party and was asked to come back. After he spoke several times, he
became the president of this organization and invented the swastika. In 1920, the 25
Points of the Nazi Party were proclaimed, one called for the removal of the Jews from
the German Society.
The Nazis tried to seize power by force in November 1923, but were stopped by
the Munich police. Hitler was convicted of high treason. He was sentenced to prison,
where he served about a year. While in prison he began to write Mein Kampf ("My
Struggle"), which later became the second Bible in Nazi Germany.
Hitler came up with a series of measures designed to eliminate the Jews from
German life. Some of these were gradual exclusion from most spheres of professional
activity, rules as to where they could live, prohibition of marriage and other relations
between Germans and Jews, economic sanctions and many others. Jews were harassed,
attacked, beaten and otherwise persecuted. Many were incarcerated in concentration
camps under "protective custody" orders. There they were beaten, abused and
frequently murdered.
Hitler decided to run for chancellor of Germany and was appointed by President
Von Hindenburg in 1933. When he succeeded, he said “ I begin with the young. We
older ones are used up. But my magnificent youngsters! Look at these men and boys!
What material! With them I can create a new world.” This quote is very true and very
bad at the same time. It is good because children are our future. It is bad because Hitler
wanted to use them for his own evil purposes. He once also said “ Those who want to
live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of the eternal
struggle do not deserve to live”.
He sent out his army of soldiers to invade every continent and kill everybody that
didn't live up to his expectations. Over 5 million Jewish people were killed and 6
million innocent people were killed. After awhile, Hitler ruled most of the English
channel. “Mankind has grown strong in eternal struggles and it will only perish through
eternal peace.” Adolf Hitler believed this very strongly. He had always felt that with
each struggle, when you die you would die.
