Secondary Autonomy and Responsibility in Nazi Germany 11 Dec. 2013 http://www.123helpme.com/view.asp?id=101575 Summary: The struggle for the people of Germany to find their rights and responsibilities in society has played a major role in Nazi ideology. Nazis believed in the volk, which means that people are seen in a sense of their race, not as an individual. Hitler believed that the German people were of the greatest of races. The rights of a person were based on their goal of preserving the volk, or their perspective regarding it. The peace treaty between Germany and Russia had left the people of Germany responsible for paying for the costs of the war. This created conflicts between middle and working class people, leading to the depression. This gave the Nazi

party the perfect opportunity to take control of the Germany society. The Nazi party gained strength in numbers so, then continued with activating policies that represented the Nazi partys views of individuals. The Nazis then used their principle of race as a factor to determine the citizenship and rights of the people. They thought that all Germans should be united together. They also believed that all members of this race should have the same cultural and spiritual ideas, and if not, they may not be considered a German citizen. Their principles included paying the pure Germans to reproduce and have many children so, that they could have a large population of the perfect race of people. The Battle for Births https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/deadmed.html Summary: The number of births, or birthrate was declining in Germany, and Hitler was receiving warnings about national death, and they were aiming to reverse this. In 1935, the martial health law banned the marriages and reproducing between what they deemed to be the hereditary healthy, and the people who were genetically unfit. For the people who were hereditary fit, it was their main concern to get married, and have children. The Biological State: Nazi Racial Hygiene, 1933-1939 https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/deadmed.html Summary: Hitlers deputy stated Nazism as applied biology, because public health measures were being taken to lessen the number of less valuable and racially foreign, people so, that the national body would be stronger, and so that the dangerous genes could be removed from the population. Most of the physicians, scientists, and Nazis embraced this idea to create a healthier, superior race. German Foreign Policy, 19331945 United States Holocaust Memorial Museum http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005203 After the Nazi rise to power, Adolf Hitler's government conducted a foreign policy aimed at the incorporation of ethnic Germans living outside German borders into the Reich; German domination of Western Europe; and the acquisition of a vast new empire of "living space" in eastern Europe. The realization of German hegemony in Europe, Hitler calculated, would require war, especially in Eastern Europe. The "racially inferior" Slavs would be driven east of the Urals, enslaved, or exterminated. Besides acquiring Lebensraum, Hitler anticipated that the "drive to the East" would destroy Bolshevism.

Hitlers Supermen http://historacle.org/hitlers_supermen.html Hitler believed that there was a hierarchy of races, putting the Aryan races such as Germans, Swedes and so on the top. The darker your skin color, the lower on the scale you went, placing African Americans at the very bottom and they were also considered to mentally along with physically inferior to all the rest. This belief also leads to the experimentation of laboratory breeding. Hitlers Master Race Children Haunter By Their Past http://creation.com/hitlers-master-race-children-haunted-by-their-past This was a new twist to Darwins original idea of Survival of the Fittest, but in a horrible way. Hitler took his supreme race and tried to mate them to stop the birthrates of the lower classes. This picture shows how the races were classified during Hitlers reign, according to his supreme race. History and meaning of the word Holocaust http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/27/the-word-holocaust-history-andmeaning_n_1229043.html Summary: The word holocaust comes from a Greek word holokauston which is a translation of a Hebrew olah meaning completely burnt offering to God. That implies that the Jews or other racially unfit people were be exterminated as a sacrifice to God. Hitlers Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust http://www.historyplace.com/pointsofview/goldhagen.htm Summary: There were four things that had to happen to cause the holocaust and the extermination of Jews. These things were: For the Nazis, including Hitler to decide to undertake the extermination of the Jews Obtain control over the Jews, and areas in which they lived Organize for the extermination of Jews & have adequate resources Induce a large number of people to carry out the executions

These camps were used for a range of purposes including forced-labor camps, transit camps which served as temporary way stations, and extermination camps built primarily or exclusively for mass murder. Most prisoners in the early concentration camps were German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, and persons accused of "asocial" or socially deviant behavior.. Nazi Germany-Dictatorship www.historylearningsite.co.uk Summary: Germany became a dictatorship under the leader Hitler. He created a climate of fear and became the dictator of Germany. He was appointed chancellor by the head of government. After the death of their president Hindenburg, he combined both chancellors and the presidents positions, allowing him to much more power than the Weimar Republic could ever imagine. Before Hitler, Germany was a democracy. They all had fair, equal rights. In 1933, 50% of the people held seats that were against the Nazi party. So, it would be unlikely for Hitler to get the laws he wanted, passed. Hitler ordered for an election in 1933. The Nazi ideology www.projectladin.org/holocaust/en/history-of-the-holocaust-snoah/the-naziregime 12/11/2013 Summary: A summarization of the Nazi ideology can be found in Mein Kampf My Struggle, an autobiograoghy of Hitler. It was written sometime between 1923 and 1924. In the book taking place after the Nazi takeover, Hitler introduces his worldview on the Nazi ideology of the new regime.

race is known as destroying cultures. Belief in social Darwinism way of life and social-Darwinist views such as: the strong survive, and the weak perish.

This gave political leaders the perfect opportunity for the rise of extremist ideologies. Hitler offered solutions to all these problems that Germany was facing such as, hyperinflation, political chaos, payments to the war victors, and a possibility for a communists take over. The Jews and democracy known as International Jewry, were said to be

responsible for Germanys loss in World War 1. In 1933, Hitler was appointed as chancellor of Germany but, many people disagreed with Hitler becoming the head of government, since he was also the leader of a paramilitary fascist party. Others thought that if controlled, Hitler could be used as an effective figure against the communists party.
