Why Did He Hate Jews?

In Vienna, he sent his drawings to the Vienna Academy of Art but they didn't accept them. He started thinking that the professor who rejected his drawings was Jewish. Hitler's mother died because of cancer and he became convinced that a Jewish doctor had been responsible for his mother’s death.

Before the start of World War One, Germany was the most economically advanced nation in Europe and the second in the world (first was USA). After the war, economic problems started in Germany.

There was a "huge economical depression" in the country.

There were many different groups; some of them were wanting a leader, some of them were blaming the German politicians and some of them were wanting to go back to the old days. (days that their ecomy was good)

Many people were jobless.

People were fighting in the streets and there was a small amount of food. There wasn't a strong leader, who could solve these problems.

Hitler promised Germans about the things that they want. Such as:

  • A better life.
  • To overturn the economical problems.
  • For a new and glorious Germany.
How Did The Nazis Form?

In September 1919 Adolf Hitler joined a very small political party called the German Workers' Party which had only 40 members. After a time, he became leader of the party. He was a powerful populist from now on.

  • In the prison, he wrote his book Mein Kamp, "My Struggle" (in English) which he told his politic and antisemitic ideas. He started giving speeches to people, he learned how to persuade them to think like himself. He thought that Jews were a separate race and "they couldn't be German."

The Nazis organised rallies to gain support. They marched on the streets to receive people's vote in the elections.

The Nazis and Hitler Tried Every Way, to Persuade German People
  • They controlled film production. Films released to the public concentrated on certain issues : the Jews; the greatness of Hitler; the way of life for a true Nazi, (especially for children) etc.

-> These things played a big role on affecting people. The people started to think that Nazis are going to solve the problems in their country.

Hitler was a great speaker, who talks effectively.

He wanted everybody to hear him while he was giving a speech. He put loud speakers on streets, by this way people would be able to listen him.

Headlines of The Newspapers

They used a lot of money on the newspapers. They put effective slogans and headlines to encourage people support their party. They used drawings to disparage Jews.

They tried to show Hitler as a man who had a great vision in the past (which was wrong.)

He targeted specific groups of society with different slogans.

~ After a time, some businessmen, such as industrialists gave money to Hitler and supported him. This made him gain more power.

He was elected on the November 1932 Election and a fearful period started for the Jews. Which we name it "The Holocaust."
