Essay / Nazi Eugenics and Mass Murder - 1715
Adolf Hitler was the Nazi dictator known for killing six million Jews in Germany. Hitler believed he could create the master race through eugenics. Eugenics can be described as the enhancement of hereditary traits through the reproduction of individuals' most desired traits. Before Hitler could be overthrown, he had managed to produce 42,000 pure Aryan children with blond hair and blue eyes. However, the means used by Hitler to produce these children proved ruthless and atrocious. Hitler's use of eugenics and hatred of Jews progressed throughout his dictatorship, from eugenics and breeding programs to euthanasia and from euthanasia to deportation and finally, one of the greatest mass murders known in history - the Holocaust, during World War II. Hitler ruled Germany. from 1933 to 1945. According to Mark Grimsley, . . . Had Hitler not come to power? article, Hitler's entry as leader of Germany may be linked to Baron Franz von Papen, former chancellor. Papen foolishly believed that once he helped Hitler take office, Hitler would turn to him for advice. Papen “hated” Kurt von Schleicher, the current chancellor; therefore, Papen and Hitler hatched a plan for Hitler to take the chancellorship, which would ultimately lead to Hitler's dictatorship of Germany. Papen's plan was for him and Hitler to rise to power together. Hitler and Papen's plan depended on Schleicher's removal as chancellor. Because Paul von Hindenburg, president and head of state, disapproved of Schleicher for his inability to stabilize the government, he agreed to listen to Papen's plan to ally Hitler's Nazi Party and the German National People's Party. However, Hindenburg disapproved of Hitler's proposal to become chancellor because he believed he was middle of paper...against Germany. Hitler had no conscience and had the blood of millions on his hands. The euthanasia programs, the Holocaust, and the death toll during World War II are all due to one man: Adolf Hitler. Hitler believed he could produce a master race; therefore he killed. Hitler hated the Jews; therefore he killed. Hitler ultimately wanted to rule the world; therefore he killed. In the end, Hitler took the easy way out and killed the only deserving person during the years of his rule: himself! Hitler manipulated his way to power and then set out to do what he always planned: be a ruthless, evil dictator. Hitler progressed his atrocious acts during his tenure, from eugenics and breeding programs to euthanasia and euthanasia to deportation and ultimately one of the greatest mass murders of all time : the Holocaust.!
