Adolf Hitler

Hitler was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to his death in 1945, becoming Germany’s Fuhrer.  Before he gained power, he wanted to be an artist, but he failed.  Then he decided that he wanted to be a member of the German army, he became solder in World War I.  When the German army surrendered, Hitler escaped and returned to Germany.  He believed that Germany lost because they had surrendered, and it made him bitter.  He then turned his attention to the Jews.  He believed that the Jews were the cause Germany’s problems and he also believed that the Jews did not count as human beings.  His plans were to eliminate every Jew in Europe and to gain world control.  He once said “by the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.”  Hitler would kill any Jew, enemy, or anyone that he thought was a problem. 

He used wounded people that were in hospitals for test experiments for ways of killing, like carbon dioxide gas.  These experiments killed over 300,000 people.  Every Jew in Germany was sent to concentration camps.  Jews in other countries were also sent to concentration camps.  All were expected to work until they died or they were killed.  Millions of Jews had to watch friends and members of their families die.  Jews died from gas chambers, crematories, firing squads, lethal injections, force labor, starvation, poison, exposure, disease, execution, death marches and medical experiments.  More than 90 percent of Poland’s Jews were killed.  Millions of children died because of him.  Hitler betrayed friends and allies in the war.  Hitler had a breading program.  If the child fell short of Nazi-defined perfection, the child would be killed.  Hitler himself was responsible for the deaths of more than 11  million people (5,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses, 15,000 homosexuals, 100,000 Freemasons, 100,000 of the mentally ill, 500,000 Gypsies, 750,000 Slavs, 3 million non-Jewish Poles, 3 million Russians and 6 million Jews) but his actions caused the deaths of over 50 million people.  On 1945, Hitler committed suicide by gunshot and cyanide poisoning.
