Adolf Hitler Speech on The Jews




Based on my understanding, this speech video is about Adolf Hitler speech on the Jews. He did mention the Jews were the one that responsible trying to turn people against each other and does not want them to have peace with each other. Then, Hitler also mentioned that the Jews were everywhere. At that time, all the Jews were homeless and did not even have their own land. They started to enter and built their own life all over the world such as Berlin, Brussels, Paris, Prague, Vienna and London. They feel very comfortable and nobody seems trying to stop them from expanding their population. Hitler did realize about the situation and he thought all of these must be stopped. The reason is he was afraid that the Jews might take over all these countries and when that happens, it is too late to regret. Hitler did not trust and he hated the Jews so much because he thought all of them were liars. So, that is the reason why he took a decision to kill all the Jews.

I myself somehow agree with Adolf Hitler because i think he is right about the Jews. Just take a look at our world these days. The Jews had done something beyond our expectation and cannot be accepted. The clearest example is Palestine. It is kind of hard to see anything good about the Jews while those people are murdering, bombing and oppressing the Palestinians and been getting away with it for decades. They are breaking every international law known to man. Perhaps you should open your eyes a bit wider because no good has or will come of this and my sympathy lies with the Palestinians who are treated worse than animals.

Hitler's Leadership Style

Adolf Hitler, regardless of his wrong doings and the obvious evil that he empowered, was one of the great leaders of our time and changed the way that our society looked at war. The fact that Hitler came from a front-line soldier with no real future in a leadership role to the chancellor of Germany and the commander of a great army shows his great will and ability to meet his goals and to manipulate people to achieve a vision. The article is about Hitler's leadership styles by Dr Geoffrey Megargee reveals some of Hitler's styles as a military commander.

First of all, Adolf Hitler was a man that emphasized precision and detail in every aspect. Whenever his staffs presented him information on the status of their missions, every point had to be precise and consistent with previous presentations.The reason is Hitler had a strong memory and can remember all the information given. He will become very angry when he detected some clashed in formations. I think this style can be quite helpful because every leader should have this kind of style in order to become a good leader.


Then, Hitler was also stubborn and another one of his style is distrusted his generals. He did this not because he did not respect them but in part for good reason. Hitler was trying to overcome a certain amount of timidity and to create some working cooperation among his senior officers. As a result of his action, Hitler's decisions early in the war were sometimes as good as or better than his generals. This is one more great style showed by Hitler because he was brave and confident enough to make a decision by distrusted his generals. I totally respect the attitude because I think as part of a team, we should not always follow the others decisions although we know it is wrong. If we have better ideas, just express it. I am sure the others are willingly to consider and accept your suggestion if it is good enough to impress them.

Video On Adolf Hitler Leadership


Other than that, Adolf Hitler sometimes reliance on his instinct whenever he wanted to make a decision. Hitler tended to reject any information or suggestion given that did not fit his preconceptions. As the result, he were lacking many of the qualities needed to control military affairs with consistent success. In my opinion, this is not a good example of leadership style because one does not simply use his own instinct in making big decision.




In any war, strategy plays an important role to determine the result. In Hitler case, the article stated that Hitler did not planned his strategy well enough and it was the main reason that led inevitably to Germany's eventual defeat. Besides that, Hitler was a type of man that was too confident with himself. He always assumed an easy victory and had no back-up plan when success eluded him. Hitler always went to war with the belief that his armies would win the war simply by winning battles and they would win because of their racial and ideological superiority. However that all was a big mistake and in the end it was the nation that exhausted itself. In my opinion, whatever we are doing, it all need good planned strategy in order for it to success. If you fail to plan, then that is useless to try because you already failed before you start.

How did Hitler Torture The Jews?

Based on my latest reading on Adolf Hitler, I decided to make a review about how did Hitler torture the Jews. Based on my reading, Hitler thought that the Jews were the main problem and need to be eliminated. The reason why he thought that way was because he claimed that the world should have one race only and it should be the superior race which was the Arian. In order to make his dream come true, all the Jews, gypsies and homosexuals were captured to be taken to the concentration camp by trains. According to Jewish Virtual Library, it is estimated that the Nazis established 15,000 camps in the occupied countries.

The persecution actually began before the Jews arrived which was when they were inside the train on their way to the concentration camp. They were placed squished in so tightly inside the train until they cannot move or breath. When the train arrived at the concentration camps, the Jews were divided into two groups. Who can work and who were unable to do work like babies or old folks. For those who can works were directly ordered to work and those who cannot work were sent to chambers to be killed off. At this time, Hitler played his role by the uses of phrase "Arbeit macht frei" which is a German phrase means "work sets you free" or "work liberates". The slogan was placed at the entrances to a number of Nazi concentration camps and was used as a motivation to the Jews to keep working. At this point, i respect Hitler because he managed to control the Jews by using only a simple slogan. That shows the true power of Adolf Hitler as a leader. I think every leaders should have such power and mind like him in order to become a great leader. What i really mean here is not about the killing but how he used his idea to accomplish his goal.

Why did Hitler Kill The Jews?




The article, "Why did Hitler Kill The Jews" is an excerpt from the Holocaust survivor, Alexander Kimel. It is an article written based on his opinions and feeling towards one of the most famous killer in the world, Adolf Hitler. The article is basically about the reasons why Hitler hated and killed the Jews. During the killing or as known as The Holocaust, the Jews were threaten like animals because their life seems worthless in Hitler's view. They were stripped of their possessions, walled in ghettos, powerless and docile. In addition, the Jews were powerless and did not own anything. It other word, they were not a threat to Hitler's rule.

The writer think that Hitler was sick and and paranoid man with full of delusions. Alexander Kimel did mention that Hitler believed that he can rebuilt the world. Hitler thought he must do something in order to change the world into better place to live without the Jews. The writer stated that Hitler's behaviors which are paranoia, delusions and paresis was caused by the syphilis. I never know about this until i read this article and then i decided to make some simple research regarding the matter. It looks like there are many theories regarding it. Some of them can be accepted and some of them seems like trying to condemn Hitler. But for me, I think the theories discussed can be accepted because my research shows that syphilis is one of the most feared diseases during that age and have a big potential to change Hitler's character. According to Dr Theophanous, Hitler's bizarre belief that syphilis was a hereditary disease that was originated and propagated by the Jews and resulted in insanity and mental retardation' could be the reason he attempted to eliminate the mentally retarded. His doctor, Theo Morrell noted his parkinson's disease, severe gastric crises, skin lesions and violent mood swings as evidence that he had contracted syphilis - as well as 'sudden criminal behaviour, paranoia, grandiosity and mania, all of which changes show in cases of neuro-syphilis.

So as a conclusion, i think there is a big chance or possibility that Hitler's behavior was caused by syphilis and i think the theories can be accepted.

The Jews and their Deceits

According to Nazi's sacred texts, Mein Kampf or My Struggle, an autobiography which contained many Hitler's basic ideas, he claimed that the Jews have many negative behaviors. One of it is the Jews cannot be trusted. Hitler said that many of the Jews managed to attained high levels of government office, married into nobility and thus finally control the government itself. That is why he thinks that these Jews should be stopped because he was afraid that they might take over the country. In my opinion, i think Hitler is right because we can see that the Jews are acting beyond our expectation. Just take a look at Palestine which had been attacked by them. The innocent peoples are killed and their land is taken by them.

Other than that, Adolf Hitler also stated that the Jews are liars. He believes that they are able to hide their true feeling and pretend for their own benefits. They are bunch of hypocrite peoples wearing mask as a camouflage in order to make fools of others. The Jews destroy their enemies's resolves and cultures from the inside out by convincing a wider circle of the correctness of their ideas. I agree with this statement because the whole world are already aware that the Jews will do anything for their own benefits. Just see how they managed to gain ally status with countries with huge power. They seems to become invulnerable and nobody can touch them.

Lastly, based on my understanding, the reason why he come out with that statement is because of jealousy. Some Jews were successful and held visible positions in Austria and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. In the Great Depression. Germany was hit the hardest by the worldwide economic depression, and successful Jews were envied. However, many of the theories about Hitler's hatred of the Jews, especially those claiming to be based on a single experience early in his life, are no more than fanciful guesswork. So it is up to us to think about it.

The Pianist Movie Screening


Last week, I had a movie screening regarding this subject. The Pianist is the movie which is directed by Roman Polanski. It tells the story of a Polish Jew, a classical musician,Wladyslaw Szpilman who survived the Holocaust through stoicism and good luck. The movie screening started at 8 pm. At the beginning of the movie, i was a bit confused to get the clear view of the movie because i was trying to figure out what The Pianist is about. I started to ask how a musician can be related with the Jews. As the story expended, i finally managed to configure what it is about and started to enjoy it. However there was a bit distraction because of the poor sound system and there was no subtitle included.

Based on my understanding, the story took places during the World War 2 or Holocaust. At that time, it was the era of Nazis under the rule of Adolf Hitler. The Jews were hated and their lives seems meaningless. The city's Jews were forced to give up their possessions and move to the Warsaw ghetto. In addition, there was a somber shot of a brick wall being built to enclose it. This is where the heart-wrenching scene started. People were starving and will do anything just to get some foods. The strong hearted will survive but many old folks and kids died. Their dead body lie down on the street and nobody cared. Most of them only think about their own survival. I was shocked when i watched how the Nazis started to torture and killed the innocent like there were no value in their lives.

In my opinion, the Nazis were very cruel for killing all those peoples. The Jews were treated like puppets because the Nazis did anything they wanted and no one was able to stop them. I think not all the Jews were bad. Some of them only wanted to live their life in peacefully. The determination of the Jews especially Wladyslaw Szpilman to keep survived inspired me a lot. He knew how to use his ability to play piano to support his life. However, although he survived, i think it was not a victory when all whom he loved died.
