Hitler – The development of evil
(717 Words)
In the multitude of years that humans have walked this planet, the German leader Adolf Hitler has to be one of the most evil people to ever come into existence. Not solely attributed but largely as a consequence of Hitler through his regime of Nazism an estimated eleven million people were killed which included six million Jews. These are staggering figures but why so many Jews? Moreover, why was Hitler so against the Jewish continuation as a people in his country and ultimately as a race? In this essay, I would like to posit some ideas on the causes of Hitler disgust of the Jewish race while showing the effects that came about as he became the German leader.
To begin with, highlighting the factors that motivated Hitler’s resentment to Jews would be by looking at Hitler’s grandmother who was a maid to a Jewish family. She was most likely to have had sexual relations with her superior as was common in those days. Further credence to this story and the likelihood Hitler’s father was born of a Jewish father was seen through his father being brought up without a father. As a child, Hitler’s father regularly beat him and his mother. Hitler would become very close to his mother; her strong attraction may be due to losing a few children in early life. His love for his mother grew greater as he formed a greater resentment toward his father seeing him as poisoned. These daily beatings, one ending in a coma must have created in Hitler a sense of him being an evil kid and a feeling of being useless.
Therefore, when Hitler grew older his resentment had to materialise and as such, he became a great believer in the Volkisch Movement that believed that the Aryan race (the master race of Northern European descent) was the noble race. Hitler was also to believe any contact with a Jew was not allowed resulting in the belief that his grandmother’s and ultimately his father’s blood was tainted in some way. So, even if his father had been fathered by an Aryan German he still had stains of evil Jewish blood in him making him the evil man he was. Furthermore, once Hitler became the leader he was to make sure Germany never produced a father figure like he had and a person like he had become. All his childhood rage came to the fore. For example, one of Hitler’s first moves in power saw him create a law that prohibited Aryan German maids from working for Jews. He also banned the marriage of Jews and Aryans Germans so as to cleanse the German race of any last thread of Jewish blood. There are even reports Hitler even lengthened WWII to make sure his plan was complete. Train loads of Jewish people were rounded up and sent to concentration camps over Germany to be sent to gas chambers and ultimate death through Hitler’s revulsion of Jews. His main aim was to complete the Holocaust and to cleanse Germany. As the German leader, he thought that any person tainted with Jewish blood would be evil forever.
So it is noticed, Hitler’s youth and his adult life bear a great relation. He had an awful childhood through his father’s beatings and grew to hate the ways his life had become therefore as he grew older he would let that anger out through war and the extermination of Jews. The hate inside him easily led him, as an adult, to Nationalistic movements promoting Germany as a clean Aryan state. Hitler was so angered inside he was prepared to let German soldiers die before the total destruction of the Jewish race was complete. His childhood anger that developed into older age was to the core of his body.
An understanding of the larger issues of Hitler’s existence through the whole of his life centering on his early life comes to show us how issues develop in people and how childhood experiences can reap extreme results as they lay dormant in the mind and develop in later life to catastrophic consequences. Hitler’s case is one that hopefully will never be seen again, but on a human level, this can be avoided where naive parents need to realise their anger and role model actions have lasting effects.

How much did Hitler’s upbringing develop his stirrings of hatred and anger?

In the multitude of years that humans have walked this planet, the German leader Adolf Hitler has to be one of the most evil people to ever come into existence. Not solely attributed, but largely as a consequence of Hitler, through his regime of Nazism, an estimated 11 million people were killed which included 6 million Jews. These are staggering figures but why so many Jews? Moreover, why did Hitler bring so much anger against the Jewish continuation as a people in his country and ultimately as a race? Considering Hitler’s hatred of Jews, it is clear this vehemence was not born the day he became The Furher. Hitler’s young life experiences can be taken into consideration. He was a product of his early environment. His burgeoning disgust of the Jewish race and his anger materialized from three experiences; his father, his grandmother, and growing up.
