The+Rise+of+Hitler

The long arm of the Ministry of Education pulls a Jewish teacher from his classroom. This picture represents the Germans getting rid of all Jewish teachers because they do not want them to educate the young generations of Germany. They believed that these Jewish teachers were going to influence them into Jewish lifestyle rather than the Nazi Germany lifestyle. Jewish teachers were taken out of their careers just because of what they believed in. Hitler wanted all of Germany to be united as one and to do this, he wanted to eliminate everything that did not agree with his beliefs. This must have taken a toll on many Jewish families. They were targeted for no good reason.

“The Jew’s symbol is a worm, not without reason. He seeks to creep up on what he wants.” The Nazi party made sure that people would believe that Jewish people were doing something spiteful. These were made up so that Jewish people would look bad and people would eventually go against them. This allowed the Nazis to gain power within Germany. They made Jewish people seem like there were the ones that were planning something evil but in reality, they were the ones who had a whole of evil things planned ahead of them. Jewish people were made out to be "snakes" and doing whatever it takes to "creep up on what he wants." "Life is not worth living. When one does not resist the parasite, Never satisfied as it creeps about. We must and will win." This drawing wants to convince people to work to eliminate the Jewish because if they do not get eliminated, Jews would be able to whatever they please. Jewish people were made out to be parasites that were going to slowly kill or destroy Germany. Nazis were able to look heroic by saying that they were going to be able to stop Jews and restore Germany to it's original state. They blamed Jews for the way things currently were.


 * Hitler's Early Years** - READ & DESCRIBE

//Hitler's 25 Points//: His 25 points was a political platform that showed what he wanted to change within Germany to recover from War World I. The major concepts that he wanted to address was the unification of all Germans, rejection the Treaty of Versailles, gain of more land for his people, the isolation of Jewish people (No Jewish person would be considered a German), income that was not earned by work could/would be taken away, change in education system, religious freedoms that would not harm German race and a strong central government that would control everything in Germany.

//How did the Nazi Party adopt the symbol? What do the colors represent?// The Nazi Party adopted the symbol once Hitler realized that his movement was lacking a symbol/flag that would be recognizable by everyone. He chose a swastika as his symbol because when he attended Benedictine Monastry School in Lambach, Austria, that was something he saw everyday. It also was an emblem used before by anti-semitic political parties. The swastika was then added inside a white circle with a red background. The colors represented power. It instantly became a recognizable symbol that helped him gain popularity.


 * The Beer Hall Putsch 1922**

//What was the goal of the putsch?// The goal of the putsch was to have the leaders of the Bavarian government kinapped and held at gunpoint so that they would accept Hitler as their leader. They hoped to then win over the German Army with the help of a famous WWI General, Erich Ludendorff, then have a nationwide revolt that would bring down the German democratic government in Berlin.

//End results//: After being unable to get the three leaders of the Bavarian government to surrender because Hilter's lost of focus on the Beer Hall Putsch, he had one night to try to take Germany into his own hands. General Erich Ludendorff suggested that he should march to the middle of Munich and take over but when they arrived, they encountered a police blockade. It was the Nazis against about 100 armed policemen. The armed policemen refused to surrender to Hitler. Firing of guns lasted about a minute. Hitler was injured with a dislocated shoulder. He stayed at his friend's house for 2 days before the third night came and he was arrested by police. He became imprisoned at Landsberg.


 * Mein Kampf**

//Choose a quote & Analyze it// "...for the higher he climbs, the more alluring his old goal that was once promised him rises from the veil of the past, and with feverish avidity his keenest minds see the dream of world domination tangibly approaching."

Hitler was determined to someday be the most powerful in the whole entire world. His dream of world domination seemed possible in his eyes with the success he had been having. Every higher level that he reached gave him hope to complete his goal. It becomes more of a reality when his power keeps growing which pushes him to do even more to achieve it. Widespread belief of competition of world domination between Aryans and Jews were being taught to school children. During this time, people were actively participating in Nazi effort to eliminate Jews or staying silent. Nobody tried to stop it which made Hitler almost unstoppable at this time.

//What and were is Lebensraum? How will Hitler obtain it?// Lebensraum is living space that would be acquired by force. This living space would include lands east of Germany. Land would be used for cultivating goods and provide room for expanding. More room would be made for the Aryan population while the Slavic people would be removed, eliminated, or enslaved. To do this he would have to defeat France, Germany's old enemy in WWI, to secure the western border.
