Answer 1

Hitler came to power during the worldwide economic depression of the 1930's by making Germany more efficent, scaring people about communism, destroying much of the classical literature and convincing the Germans were suffering economically while the Jews had money. The old class warfare argument.

There were many other things that he used also.

During the Holocaust, 13 million civilians were killed at the hands of this madman.

6 million jews
2 million Jehovah's Witnesses
2 million hungarian Gypsies
2 million labeled as homosexual or deviant
1 million others

The holocaust is an undeniable historical fact. My former business partner, now deceased was the only surviving member of his family of 11 who survived Auschwitz.

There has even been a US court ruling concerning this.

In the 1980's in Mermelstein vs. The Institute for Historical Review, the Federal Court in LA declared the holocaust to be an undeniable historical fact.

My former partner told be vivid stories of the horrors of his experience at Auschwitz.

I hope this helps you with your assignment and you asked a very good question.

Answer 2

Hitler was a brilliant politician. Not right away of course, but he did learn how to feed the pride and anger of the German people to support his own cause. He was able to get himself elected chancellor through a good campaign, charismatic oratory, and the intimidation and discrediting of his opponents. Once he was Chancellor, it was much easier to accumulate more and more power.

As for the number of deaths in the holocaust, I have no idea what the real number is. Many sources disagree on the number. I don't think we'll ever know for sure. Of the six million deaths attributed to the holocaust I wonder how they were tallied. Are those based on German documents? Or comparing estimates of Jewish populations before and after the war? Neither method is completely sound. The germans would likely have listed anyone they felt like as a Jew, so those numbers could be too high. And many Jewish people may have died for other reasons or gone into hiding and never revealed themselves. Or much of the documentation could have been lost.

Either way you look at it, the Holocaust was a horrible thing. There were certainly millions of deaths involved, and really considering the heinous and calculating nature of the "final solution" it really doesn't matter exactly how many, it's just as horrible if it was three million, or six million.

Answer 3

How did Hitler gain power over Germany? Because he was a talented and intelligent statesman, despite his other reprehensible views, and he was able to tell a population in crisis exactly what it wanted to hear. WWI and the demands placed on Germany in the aftermath did a great deal of damage to the country, and Hitler was able to tap into the people's anger and frustration for his own ends.

There are actually an incredibly small number of Holocaust deniers. They just are very vocal about their views, and most of them have an agenda that makes accepting the Holocaust as reality problematic. But anyone who looks at the evidence seriously finds it difficult to deny that it occurred. Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, the disabled, and other "undesirables" were shipped to concentration camps where they were either outright killed or worked to death. The Jewish experience receives the most attention because they represented by far the largest population in the camps.

I have walked through Dachau with a friend whose aunts and uncles died there. I grew up with a rare copy of the Auschwitz Album on our bookshelf. The scariest thing about the Holocaust is how ordinary people allowed it to happen, and how we still allow horrible things to happen.

Answer 4

Hitlet exploited a horrible economy and a country dehumanized by the first world war. He used people's pain to gain power. He made promises of glory and of a renewed Germany, promises that proved irresistible to the German people.

As for your question about the Holocaust: It absolutely happened. Yes, six million people died - maybe more than that. I would suggest going to your local library and reading the following books:

"Night" by Eli Weisel

"Eyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in the Gas Chambers" by Filip Muller

"A History of the Holocaust" by Yehuda Bauer & Nili Keren


"Survivors: True Stories of Children in the Holocaust" by Allan Zullo and Mara Bovsun

"Schindler's List" by Thomas Kenneally

These are but a few books that will give you some information on the Holocaust. I would also suggest visiting http://www.ushmm.org/ , the official website for the United States Holocaust Memorial and Museum for more information.

I hope this helps.

Answer 5

The holocaust is one of the most documented atrocities of its kind ever. The Germans themselves kept incredible self incriminating documentation of this event. When Hitler rose to power Germany was in a serious recession. Their currency was almost completely worthless. People were having a terrible time trying to make ends meet. The Jews knew better than to put all of their faith in paper money. Many Jewish families were great savers, and also business owners. Hitler told people that the Jews were the cause of this recession because they had stolen all the wealth. Many Jews were still doing well because they were able to barter goods for food and necessities. Many had put stock in art, jewelery, and other tangible goods. Common people could see this and they believed Hitlers rant against the Jews and so it only seemed fair to many of them to "arrest" their neighbors. Many Jews escaped as well, but millions were killed. Hitler also arrested homosexuals, other non whites, and anyone else who helped the Jews.

Answer 6

Hitler gained power in Germany when he was actually voted into office in 1933. Since then, Germany went into this hell-bound, downward spiral into war.

In 1938, the Night of the Broken Glass (Kristallnacht) came into play as Nazi thugs broke into Jewish businesses and harassed the owners and caused a lot of chaos.

Later in the 30s and into the 40s, Jews were being shipped off to concentration camps where 6 million of them perished.

In 1942, Nazi officials gathered at a villa in Wansee (known as the Wansee Conference) to discuss the Final Solution (a plan to eliminate the Jews entirely).

Answer 7

Hitler had vigor due to the fact that the humans selected to cede it to him, there are only a few examples in History of humans having vigor taken away, as a substitute that lose it through inches through the years as occurred there. In a time of trouble humans wish answers and whilst a charismatic chief, which Hitler most likely was once, guarantees that he could make the whole lot bigger if he's simply given the vigor to do what demands to be performed humans have a tendency to disregard the longer term ramifications in pursuit of on the spot brief time period achieve. The obstacle is that vigor as soon as given away is inconceivable to take again however through drive of palms, that's why Hitler made certain his humans had been the one ones armed. The fiscal trouble mixed with a way of National humiliation and helplessness which pervaded Germany after the primary World War does not exist in Germany at present, so there could be no motive for humans to want or wish the sort of severe measures that allowed Hitler to attain the extent of manage he had. There's additionally the truth that the humans of Germany, having succumbed to that trap as soon as such a lot to their price, have a vested individual and National curiosity in certainly not letting it occur once more. In the Germany of at present it could be a Bismark as a substitute than a Hitler who could have probably the most good fortune, within the Europe of at present army vigor has emerge as secondary to fiscal vigor and Hitler don't have recognized how to manage with that.

Answer 8

Hitler gained power over Germany because after WWI the country was in shambles. The economy was in depression, much of their country was given away and their army was nearly debunked. Mostly because of the Treaty of Versailles. Unfortunately, Hitler provided a quick and easy answer to all their troubles.

As for the Holocaust, of course it happened. Anyone who says it didn't is an imbecile. But, it wasn't just the Jews who were killed, gypsies, homosexuals, handicapped, and others all suffered the same fate.

Answer 9

Hitler rose to power because of gross stupidity of the signers of the Treaty of Versailles. The winners wanted revenge and the treaty they devised almost guaranteed the economic impoverishment of Germany. Germany's economic collapse made the depression in the US look like a picnic. This provided fertile ground for the rise of Hitler who gave the Germans the scapegoat they desperately needed, someone to blame for their losing of the war: those awful Jews. And since "Good Germans" didn't care for Jews anyway, it was a splendid answer of their need for revenge. And to feel superior. Hitler was a master of making Germans feel superior to the "inferior races". And he had the cure. Germans, ruined by the collapse of their economy bought that cure with enthusiasm. And because of that cure, 50 million human beings died, countless others suffered horrible losses and unspeakale misery. Millions of people were enslaved. Perhaps seven million Jews: men women and children, were exterminated for the crime of their religion. There is absolutely no doubt that this occured. Anything you hear to the contrary is a despicable lie.

Even to suggest the holocaust didn't happen, you dishonor every person who died, either those murdered by the nazis or who gave their lives to put an end to that unspeakable evil.
I suggest you go to a cemetery and apologize to the spirits of those young men who died in that great crusade for the crime of your ignorance. Better yet find a living veteran and thank him for his service.

Answer 10

If you're doing research,for homework, obviously you can't use our quotes. So start here www.ushmm.org/

I think for a history teacher to ask students to research whether or not the Holocaust happened is very much valid and helpful for young students to learn research methods. I mean, there are so many resources out there that the answer will be obvious to students. It's kinda like a kid touching a hot stove. You can tell him not to but i guarantee he'll understand when he touches it out of curiosity. Let the kids do the research, read the books, view the pictures, visit memorials, get first and second hand accounts so they can fashion their own opinion. It's a great way to introduce kids to history and research. Take the political b.s. out of education.
