History is filled with examples of violent revolutions accomplishing what non-violent revolutions likely never would have accomplished. Whether it is the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799, the Nazi party’s goal for worldwide dominion, or the struggle in South Africa to shake off the chains of apartheid, violent revolutions have led to profound changes where non-violent civil disobedience probably would have failed.

While proponents of non-violent revolutions often cite the likes of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi as examples of freedom fighters who chose brains over brawn, ...

The Theme of Captain America

Captain America revolves around the events of World War II and the emergence of a super-hero who is later assigned with the heavy responsibility of saving the world. Steve Rogers, the super hero, does not, however, gain his superiority and abilities under normal circumstances, but rather he is the subject of a scientific experiment to create super soldiers. Across Europe, the Nazi forces are anxiously seeking to enhance its power through the discovery of better weapons and energy believed to be hidden within a castle in Norway in the form of Tesseract. The extreme enmity and fear between the American forces and ...

It is not rocket science that Jews suffered a great deal in the hands of the German war machine. The Nazis were a dangerous lot. They did not have mercy. However, even though they suffered, many chose to endure the suffering and die while fighting for their rights to exist. If it were me, I would have done the same thing as they did. I would not have gone anywhere. Knowing very well that access to safer grounds like America were denied, I would have stayed and suffered with others. Though the temptation to flee, either to America or Australia would ...

Essay for Lesson 6: The Holocaust

Introduction
The mere mention of the Holocaust could already arouse eerily suspicious reactions from those who know about it. The idea of systematically slaughtering the Jewish people because of unfounded accusations against their racial inferiority has heaped condemnation against the Holocaust as perhaps one of the most heinous crimes ever committed in human history. Historians would even go as far as asserting that the Holocaust is the most terrible act ever committed against humans, its impact being unparalleled by any other recorded event in human history. While one could assert the foregoing statement as a subject of an intense ...

What is the Holocaust? The Holocaust is by far one of the most brutal and inhumane occurrences within the pages of human history relating to wars, imperialism and power definition in the field of political standards that define leadership and how it affects the overall living stature of humans in particular areas of the world.

The violence directed towards these individuals specifically escalated the hate that people ...

Essay for Lesson 5: Hitler and the Aestheticization of Politics

Introduction
One of the reasons behind the success of the Nazi Party in taking over Germany is on its extensive use of propaganda. Adolf Hitler, known for his penchant for populism, rendered the strong impact of images, films and other materials attributed to Nazism as essential for the political success of the Nazi Party and its agenda for Germany. As an authoritarian leader, Hitler saw the importance of extracting the patronage of the Germans not through forceful means, but through convincing and motivating measures that enticed their mental faculties. To make such a vision possible, Hitler commissioned the talents of ...

The world is full of symbols and images that, in one way or another, impact our visual experience. However, most of these images and symbols are not original creation but rather a reflection of past cultures that have influenced contemporary art. The ancient Egyptians, for example, are well known for their pyramids. These pyramids primarily serve as a graveyard as well as a grave monument for pharaohs and their families. Ancient Egyptians believe that after death, their pharaohs would traverse the underworld. For the same reason, the pyramids were built because of the belief that the deceased need sustenance even ...

The Second World War of 1939-1945 is often known as the war that redefined the international balance of power with the rise of the United States and the Soviet Union as the world’s first superpowers and the decline of Europe. Others, on the other hand, would remember the war because of the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany and the eccentricities of its leader, Adolf Hitler. In terms of his military and political strategy, experts were torn from lauding Hitler for his ingenuity and elaborate schemes to criticizing him because of the impacts it brought to Europe. However, it ...

[Studen’t Name]

The film Schindler’s List features the story of German named Oskar Schindler. The film was about an epic historical drama of what occurred during the tragic period in history—the World War II.

The first systematic and critical analysis of Nazism ...

Introduction: The Third Reich

When Hitler assumed dictatorship of Germany and became the Fuhrer, he propagated Fascism, then prevalent in Mussolini’s Italy, under the banner of Nazism; wherein the State became all powerful and welfare was entirely in his hands. The Nazis came to power by promising to take Germany out of the post World War I economic depression. The treaty of Versailles was a blow to German pride, the country was reeling under all the war debts and the Great Depression was another blow to their economy. Germans were vulnerable and Nazi propaganda and the Hitler myth was successful in claiming total ...

Esi Edugyan’s novel Half Blood Blues, with its tale of mixed-race characters, jazz, and Nazi Germany, focuses chiefly on the presence of ‘undesirables’ – people who the status quo rejects in some form or another. In the case of 1939 Berlin, people of non-white descent (such as the half-white Hiero Falk) were targeted for elimination and arrest. This left others who could mask their ‘undesirability’ (such as the lighter-skinned Sid Griffiths) to have an easier time escaping the horrors of World War II and Nazism. Many things are mixed in Half Blood Blues, as its title suggests – races are ...

It has been roughly 7 decades since the Second World War came to an end, culminating in a much-anticipated victory of the Allies over the countries representing the Axis Power. While gradually defeating the major belligerents, as Germany, Japan, and Italy, and fighting their way forward towards the heart of the evil alliance, aka Germany, the forces of the USA, the UK, France, and the USSR would often encounter specific facilities for prisoner detention. Concentration camps used to be detention facilities in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, the year that the Allies inflicted a crushing defeat on the Axis Power, ...

Nazi Propaganda Themes from The 1930s

Propaganda is the dissemination of biased or misleading information. It is a tool used to influence large groups of people so as to promote a political cause.

It allowed the Nazis to consolidate power and ensure that their aims were coordinated with those of the German people. The propaganda of national unity was to help ...

Research has managed to establish some form of relationship between mass murder in Germany and sexual morality. Despite the issue of sexuality being seen by many as a frivolous subject for discussion in the wake of the horrific crimes related to Nazism, the truth of the matter is that through studying sexuality, the correct perspective in understanding the history of Germany in the 2oth century is met. There is much debate as to which role sexuality and sexual immorality played in the period characterized by the world war. Through such discussion, one gets a proper insight as to the relationship that ...

A lot of horrific things took place during the genocide of nearly 6 million Jews at the hands of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germans, which is now remembered as the Holocaust. Perhaps that is why singling out and choosing the thing that was the most moving about the Holocaust is not an easy task. Perhaps not the most moving, but the most enduring thing about the Holocaust is the fact the reason it had succeeded was because feelings of detestation and loathing for the Jews had been provoked through the sanctioning of the state, i.e. the Nazi government.

- Explain the process of Gleichschaltung and give some concrete examples. What was Gleichschaltung? How "successful" was it before the end of the Nazi regime in May 1945?
Gleischaltung was the achieving of total power in Germany by Hitler and the Nazi Party confirming that there was only one person who was really in command. Hitler set about achieving this through various means which included the complete denuding of state power and parliamentary process and centralizing everything in what was called the ‘FuhrerPrinzip’ which intrinsically meant that the Fuhrer was all powerful (Kershaw p 75).
The process of ...

When the German Nazis took over the country, they were bent on making sure that the Jews did not have any place in the country.

While Germany was responsible for starting and sustaining both the First World War and the Second World War, there were stark differences between the Germany of 1924 and the Germany of 1929. The Germany of 1924 had just emerged from the First World War severely battered and greatly scathed. In addition, its economy was in tatters and it essentially had to depend on the Allies who defeated it during the First World War. Coupled with this, the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were of significant detrimental effect to the German economy and population. One of the terms of ...

The whole book is characterized by ironic twists and deception. The Nazi army used deception, demoralization, and dehumanization of the Jewish prisoners in a bid to water down their faith in God. Every move by the Nazi was calculated and had a specific objective to accomplish. The Jews are known for their strong faith in a sovereign God. However, their experience at the Nazi concentration camps proves otherwise and makes their faith weaver from this reality. It is thus true that the Nazi army used deception, demoralization and dehumanization as a means to water down their strong faith in God.
For instance, at Sighet, ...

Benito Mussolini of Italy and Adolf Hitler of Germany were two leaders of the world who initiated and established an air of totalitarianism in their respective countries. Both of them came into power after WWI. Their tactics and ideologies were more similar than some may think, sharing only few differences. Both Mussolini and Hitler took part in WWI as corporals from their respective homelands and later on when the war ended, established their own national parties. The government in Italy and Germany could not stand against the postwar consequences which brought unemployment, poverty, political instability. These factors led the ...

Summary

The writer reports about the concept of ecological movements and conservation being employed in Germany as an avenue to recruiting new converts that may support the far right movement. This has been attributed to the much evidence of increase in support of ecological movements by the rightwing extremists.
The evidence of rightwing extremists developing and publishing their own conservation magazine supports the use of the ecological concept to reach and recruit more supporters. The author further supports this claim by noting that the magazines contain both rightwing ideology and racial slurs in the magazine in addition to gardening ...

The American version of the Holocaust is usually intertwined with the impact of immigration policies of that time, the humanitarian crisis and a struggling economy. The American government was at the forefront, together with the Allies, to come up with the Nazi’s solution. Apart from the typical American citizens who were devastated with the human rights abuses, there was a considerate number of the Jewish community that lived in America. They received the news with shock. This paper will canvas, briefly, the knowledge and response of the Americans and Jewish community in American to perhaps in the words of Wilson ...

The prevailing culture of a period can have a major impact on literature. Events can both inspire and suppress literature. A great example of this is the Nazi period in German literature. Within Germany itself, books were censored and even burned. The list of banned authors included Berthold Brecht, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Engels, Franz Kafka, Jack London, Thomas Mann, and Erich Maria Remarque. Thus an entire generation of Germans basically grew up without the Theory of Relativity, Freudian theory, an understanding of class struggles, and All Quiet on the Western Front. At the same time, there was a massive “brain ...

5) During the 19th Century, it was commonplace for conservative and reactionary opponents of the French Revolution like Joseph de Maistre to ‘blame’ the Enlightenment for its ‘excesses’, particularly the Great Terror that occurred under Maximilian Robespierre in 1792-94. Certainly the Catholic Church was extremely hostile to the Revolution because it lost a great deal of power and property in France after 1789, and it continued to fight the same battles against its liberal and radical enemies until well into the 20th Century. For their part, the Enlightenment philosophers like Voltaire had been especially critical of the Church and had ...

The memorial for the ‘murdered Jews of Europe’ located in Berlin cost 25 million euros at its inaugural during the year 2005. Well-researched and documented history points three groups that endured suffering during the pre-Nazi, Hitler’s reign, and post Nazi regimes in Germany and Europe at large. These groups are the Jews, the Roma/Sinti, and the Gay and Lesbians. Unfortunately, more attention is directed towards the persecution of Jews. For instance, the two recently erected monuments in Berlin for the Roma/Sinti and the gays and lesbians persecuted during the Nazi reign were put up on a modest scale. I ...

Discussions on the Marshall Plan
The Marshall Plan Vis-à-vis The Morgenthau Plan
The European Recovery Program, better known as the Marshall Plan, is an aid program of the United States (US) that granted Western Europe $13 million in funds between 1947 and 1951. A program that sought to reconstruct Western Europe in the aftermath of the Second World War, it proved instrumental for the rise of US hegemony in international affairs. Yet, the rise of the US as a hegemon did not come as an objective of the plan. Rather, it emerged consequentially ...

Why should anyone be bothered by the fact that Martin Heidegger, whose political philosophy was very much admired by the French after the post-war period , did neither admitted nor regretted his early political engagement with Nazism especially during his rectorship at the University of Freinberg (Farias, 1989; Steiner, 2000)?
Given the facts that Heidegger is both a philosopher and polemically, an ardent supporter of the Fuhrer, it is just appropriate to admire his intellectual gigantism and then still study his political dispositions during the 1930s up to the 1950s. Although it became evident later on that since Nazism ...

Günter Grass reached adolescence during the last two months of World War II when all hopes of a successful resistance to Hitler had been lost. Grass was drafted into the Nazi Waffen SS tank division when he was only seventeen. At that time, anyone who still had all their limbs were being sent by the Third Reich to the rapidly retreating front. Although it has been sixty years since the war ended, but Germans who belonged to Heinrich Himmler's personal army as a member of the Nazi Waffen-SS still have a tough time. In his autobiography Peeling Onion, Grass himself admits ...

Essay Question No. 1 -

The Holocaust, more than any other event in modern history, is important for the witnesses who lived to bear testimony to Nazi genocide. The sheer mind-boggling numbers involved tend, over time, to separate people who were not there from what really mattered, from what happened and what it was like on a very personal level. Firsthand accounts of survival in Primo Levi’s highly personal novel, and the stories assembled in the collections of Ed Niewyk, and Carol Rittner and John Roth are testaments not only to survival but to the determination of survivors to tell the story, so that ...

When Solomon Radasky died on the fourth day of august 2002, the world went into grieving. This is because Radasky was arguably the most popular of all the people that had survived the Holocaust (Ofer 6). The survival story of Radasky is as horrifying as those of other Holocaust survivors. The holocaust, which involved the killing of approximately six million people, mainly European Jews, by the brutal Nazi system of Germany, is perhaps one of the darkest moments in the European and global history. The government sponsored genocide involved the deaths of more than 1.5 million children. The survivors ...

The Nazi rule under the leadership of Chancellor Adolph Hitler banned blacks, and other leftists from bureaucracy and the Nazi organizations replaced the trade Unions.

However, there existed no organized program for their eradication like for the Jews and other racial groups.

African-German mulatto children were economically and socially isolated and were not permitted to attend any university. Racism prohibited them from working in ...

ZIONISM AND NAZISM

There exists striking similarities between the Nazi nationalism movement of the Imperial Germany and Zionism. These two movements worked in line with the aim of most nationalist movements that seeks to draw masses together to resist attempts of segregation, discrimination and persecution1. A keen study of Zionism indicates that the driving force behind Zionism was that all Jews were supposed to return to their land of origin in order to alleviate the cases of discrimination, persecution and exclusion2. On the other hand the Nazi movement sought to enhance national survival by empowering those they thought superior in ideologies and ...

Introduction

Hitler created anti-Semitic laws and policies in 1933-45 because his entire career in politics from 1919 until his suicide in 1945 was based on a racist and anti-Semitic worldview (Weltanschauung) as well as 19th Century Social Darwinism and the belief that some individuals and races were supermen and others subhuman or Untermenschen. Certainly he never made any secret of his ideology, which could be found in Mein Kampf and his other writings. He ordered the extermination of the handicapped and mentally ill in Germany in 1939, which continued up to the end of the war and many of the personnel ...

The study of human behavior is a complex phenomenon, and having a concrete answer is elusive. The problematic nature of studying human nature gets complicated when the subjects of study are numerous. Still, exploring human actions is matter of interest particularly when it concerns the transformation of ordinary men to efficient and skillful killers as demonstrated in the Jewish holocaust in Nazi Germany. Many scholars have pondered for explanations on how ordinary men would be transformed to become serial killers. This essay delves into this discussion while employing the opinion of several scholars such as Christopher Browning, Daniel Goldaheg, and Robert ...

Wars, revolutions, and conflict have done its share in influencing and removing European monarchies in power for the past centuries. Many have risked their lives in hopes of a better Europe, while some instigated rebellions to seize the throne they lusted to claim as their own. In France, the Reign of Terror became a symbol of fear upon its onset in the dawn of the French Revolution as countless conflicts between rival political parties and mass execution of rebels painted the streets of Paris in red. With the goal to purge the France of those who wish to rebel against the ...

The scope of this thesis shall be limited to explaining why the anti-Nazi Germans, Croatians, and Hungarians supported Hitler’s anti-Semitic agenda despite the fact that they did not subscribe to the same ideology. Despite the fact that history largely pins the blame on the Nazis for the Jewish holocaust in Europe, questions have risen about the role played by the ordinary citizens in perpetuating the injustice. Specifically, the thesis shall be concerned with what compels the masses to follow and to accept narcissist leaders such as Adolf Hitler. Many historians might argue that most Germans, Croatians and Hungarians ...

The Christians damned him as the devil incarnate.
During the Nazi regime, children especially boys were taught the Nazi ideologies from a ...

During the Holocaust, the logistics of systematically imprisoning and eliminating six million Jews and other "undesirables" could not have been done simply by the Nazi Party and conservative Germany. Many other factions and individuals contributed to the facilitation of the Holocaust and its continued operation on both civilian and military levels. There were many reasons why people collaborated with the Nazis, and the results were often much more widespread than the Germans themselves could have hoped for. Collaboration with the Nazis during the Holocaust was a vital component that contributed to the substantial number of victims accumulated during this dreadful ...

1) For the several decades up to 1933 analyze the situation of German Jews in terms of security and vulnerability

The Jews in Western Europe were often abhorrent to the point of being killed and even getting robbed. Prior to 1933, the life of the Jews was not a bed of roses. On numerous occasions, they were driven from theory homes, their properties were seized and their culture was usually attacked. They were not allowed to enter some cultural group gatherings and were also not allowed to occupy some positions in the government. Their security was at a risk and was ...
