Do you think that German history inevitably led to the Holocaust?

Question

(I am gathering information for a debate in a class I am taking. Any input would be greatly appreciated.)

Answer 1

Many histories could have led to something like that. You just don't hear about the supposed bad things that the good guys did.

You don't hear about the Romans raping, and/or killing enemy women.

You don't hear about how one Italian girl got raped over 200 times by Croatian soldiers working for the Americans in one of the World Wars.

You don't even hear about the 2 million women that were raped in Germany by the Allied forces (mostly Russians) at the end of WW2.


It's only because Germany initiated the Holocaust that we look at their history and say we should have known it was coming. Remember - history is written by the winners. You barely ever hear tales about some of the things the German soldiers were forced to do.

No, they were heartless grey killing machines that would rape your women and take over the world, according too the women.

And if you cut out the parts about the Jews and Concentration camps, then it's just like every other war. It's no different to what is going on in Iraq.




There was once a dictator who liked to kill people. America didn't like it. America attempted to kill said dictator and the people that supported him. America won, and gloated.

The End.

Answer 2

No, not inevitably. Nothing happens inevitably. If Hitler had never been born, or if he had died in World War I, for example, I don't think there would have been a Holocaust. But it was not so that Hitler fell from Mars and bewitched people. He was one factor, but many aspects of German history and social norms were also a factor. Antisemitism had a long history in Germany. Blind obediance to authorities was seen as a moral value in Germany at that time and that was also a factor. It was a factor that Germany had lost World War I and the Jews were used as scapegoat for that.
There was also much antisemitism in other countries and they didn't make a Holocaust because other factors were missing.

Answer 3

No. 100 years ago Antisemitism (Anti-Judeism) was as widespread and socially acceptable as Anti-Islamism is today, in the whole Western world, not just in Germany. When Hitler was elected economic conditions were awful and the Nazis were just one of many extremist parties, who happened to get lucky. If one of the Communist parties had won, for instance, there wouldn't have been a Holocaust.

Answer 4

i do no longer hate Germans as an entire yet i might desire to admit I do have problems with Germans in the age selection that they have got been adults in the process the holocaust. The German human beings (at that factor) ought to declare they did no longer understand and that they might no longer do something in the event that they did yet many extra knew than admitted they did. I additionally see the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Germany as we communicate as an illustration that it incredibly by no potential died regardless of the horror of the holocaust. I had kinfolk members who died in the holocaust. i'm Jewish. Many will say in case you suspect in Jesus you're no longer Jewish and Paperback author is entitled to her opinion besides the undeniable fact that it relatively is actual that in case you lived in the process the time of the holocaust, you too might have been exterminated. seem at Edith Stein working example. She replaced into born Jewish and became a nun yet that replaced into no longer stable adequate for the Nazi's. They killed her simply by fact she replaced into Jewish. i do no longer see it simply by fact the fulfillment of a prophecy. I see it as a crew of folk who have been allowed to have their hatred and anti-Semitism run unchecked via any ethical authority and in actuality, the "ethical authority" on the time inspired it. The holocaust would not have befell had the German way of life no longer had rampant anti-Semitism in it on the time. The holocaust denial circulate is a few thing it incredibly is calling root in Germany besides as different countries. Germans who purchase into that concept I even have little use for, as I do people who blame Jews for the holocaust. As you have suggested, each and every Jew has a diverse opinion approximately what's Jewish, it relatively is the communicate board to precise it. to 3 you will possibly no longer be Jewish yet to the Nazi's you relatively might have been. stable question via the way.

Answer 5

If Germany existed in a perfectly vacuumed bubble, then, yes it was inevitanble. Given that the air that blows over Germany also blows over New York, London, and Paris, then; no. Destiny is inevitable. Not real estate.

Answer 6

If your close you should visit the Holocaust museum. It is really amazing. I think it was very sick men who who led the Holocaust. If it hadn't of been Germany then perhaps it would be Iran now.

Answer 7

Pogroms were a tradition all over eastern Europe. Hitler just did it on a larger scale. Christians would borrow money from Jews and then kill them or force them to migrate when payment came do. Hitler killed them and took everything they had.

The "Holy Crusaders" would attack and rob Jews and their synagogues on their way to the "Holy Land." Many times they would kill all the Jews in a town and then demand payment for their "Holy work of Cleansing."
