The Evolution of Hitler’s Anti-Semitism
[ send me this essay ]
This 6 page report discusses how Adolf Hitler’s anti-Semitism grew in the two decades preceding World War II and how he used it to inspire the German people. By 1921, Hitler was speaking to groups that numbered in the thousands. By the time he published “Mein Kampf” (1924) membership in the Nazi party had grown to the tens of thousands. Anti-Semitism and blame laid at the door of the Jews for Germany’s problems brought eager “converts” to the party. This paper also discusses how anti-Semitism became more virulent between the publication of “Mein Kampf” and Hitler’s famous speech at the Reichstag in January of 1939. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Europa, Europa"
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Polish writer-director Agnieszka Holland's film Europa, Europa both historically and emotionally addresses the extent to which people will go in order to stay alive. Caught within the hostile world of Nazi warfare, Jewish youth Solomon Perel realizes that the only way he is going to escape a brutal death at the hands of the Nazis is by masquerading as one of them. Indeed, the dichotomy of his circumstances is aptly captured through Holland's cinematic eye, allowing viewers to gain a significantly better understanding of the harshness that enveloped Perel's very survival.
