Nazism: History, policies and holocaust
Introduction
World War II (1939-1945) was one of the most important events in contemporary history, in which countries of great world potential were involved in its time, such as the United States, Japan, the Soviet Union, Germany etc. This last country mentioned had a leader: Adolf Hitler of the Nazi party that imposed the so -called Nazism, an ideology that was founded by Hitler himself around 1920 due to the humiliating situation that ended World War I officially culminating withThe signed of the Versailles Treaty in France, where Germany was obliged to accept the responsibility of having initiated the war (together with Austria and Hungary), had to enter into the process of granting territories and paying a huge number of compensation for all damages causedIt is worth mentioning that Germany finished paying those compensation on June 3, 2010 (99 years after the war).
Developing
What is Nazism?
It is the ideology of extreme nationalism, racism and anti Marxist that occurred in Germany between 1933 and 1945 during the period of World War II, all this arises from Germany was proclaimed the Weimar Republic, called because in this city it was approvedThe Democratic Constitution, by virtue of which, the previous Government of the Kaiser or Emperor was replaced by a president, elected for 7 years. The new president was the socialist worker Federico Ebert, chosen in 1919, the Marshal Pablo Von Hindenburg happening to him.
During the new regime the ancient Germany wanted to recover after the ruin in which it was, however, there were different political and economic and social conditions for which Nazism arose. German nationalists accused the government for having accepted the conditions proposed by the Versailles treaty. Germany destroyed was looking for a leader who guided him as a people and remind them of past times is where Adolf Hitler recognizes and attributes to himself the failure that was lived, knew how to channel rage and yearningthat the national socialism (Nazism) never.
Adolf Hitler
He spoke to the Germans of the superiority of his race and the path that his people should continue to enlarge the nation. In 1923 Hitler ends in jail after a failed coup d’etat, during his stay he writes the book "My struggle" that would end up being the Gospel of Nazism. After his confineall the Communist Commanders are arrested and they are enclosed within a concentration camp. The laws allowed Hitler to take action in the Constitutions, from there begins a dictatorship without limits or legal objections.
Nazi concentration camps
The Nazis were the organization of the constituent party "National Socialism" after Hitler’s triumph, the Communist Party is prohibited for what existed quite a lot of repression by the people, murders everywhere. Terror was exercised directly through censorship, physical aggressions, murders and dentences in the fields. The Germans decided to create a series of detention facilities to imprison and eliminate the "enemies of the State", as well as the political prisoners of the Communist Party who were against the new Nazi regime "Nation".
Most prisoners in the first concentration fields were German communists, socialists, social democrats, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Christian clergymen, and people accused of "associal" or abnormal behavior. Some Nazi doctors did experiments on the prisoners of some fields. Under the impact of war, the Nazi field system grew rapidly. After the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 (the event that exploded the war), the Nazis opened forced labor fields where thousands of prisoners died of exhaustion and hunger. To facilitate the "final solution" (the genocide of the Jews), the Nazis opened extermination fields in Poland. Chelmno, the first extermination field, opened in December 1941. There the Jews and Romas were gased in trucks.
The Nazis built gas cameras to increase the efficiency of the process and to make it more impersonal for the executioners. At the end of deportations, up to eight thousand Jews were gose every day. It is speculated that the Germans killed around 6 million Jews in the extermination fields.
In January 1945 the Red Army arrives at the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland and releases thousands of prisoners, public opinion begins to know the horrors of the Jewish holocaust and its true reach. In February the allies carry out the bombing of Dresde one of the largest bombings towards civilian population during World War II, thus leaving almost the entire destroyed city. In June of that same year, Hitler’s suicide happens, there the Nazi nation surrenders to the allies and ends World War II.
During that time I would have liked that to remove Nazism, the following actions would have been carried out:
- The creation of social or military group with sufficient power that had as its main objective to eliminate Hitler and overthrow their regime.
- The creation of laws related to the integrity and equality of society and the consequence due to the violation of the same.
- Group of people united forces to restore a parliamentary system of democracy again.
- Destruction of the Nazi extermination fields after looting of all prisoners inside.
Questions
What human acts are involved in the subject you chose?
Human acts are those that are made from judgment and come from the deliberate freedom of man, this means that they are carried out with free knowledge and will. Some acts that are classified as "humans" (they are actually quite cruel and inhuman) are:
- Murder
- Discriminate
- Hate
- Harm others
- Go to others
- They destroyed families
- They terrified people
What is the importance of human dignity on your subject?
As I mentioned previously the Nazis were an organization for cruel and dehumanized purposes, which was based on the murder of people who considered different or even abnormal before the society of that time. It seems to me that human dignity takes a fairly important role in this issue (although it has not been practiced) since all the injured at that time had the right to their freedom, they had the right to live as equals in society and also have a quality ofessential life, unfortunately they could not do it.
Is there freedom?
First, freedom is the ability to choose where you want to go and what do you want to do, not only that but in all aspects. During the 30´ 40´ in Germany there was no freedom for groups of people such as Jews, communists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals or Christians, and what were considered “enemies of the State” therefore their period of life was quite shortWithin the Nazi extermination fields where they were deprived of their freedom in a drastic way.
What are the obstacles of freedom?
Violence, in the case of aggressive treatment by the Nazis to the Jews, they were repressed to react, had no responsibility for the act committed and therefore it was impossible for them to resist the oppression of the Nazis.
Ignorance, the Nazis had the belief that their race was unique and perfect, anyone different from it should be completely eliminated, blinded to the reality that we are all equal.
For both obstacles to freedom to Jews it was impossible to carry out their freedom as it should.
What inframoral values intervene in your subject?
Ambition, Adolf Hitler was a man with thousands of ambition. Patriotism, it was extreme and was not practiced peacefully, patriotism uncontrolled the entire situation completely.
What infrahuman values intervene in your subject?
Although teamwork really in this issue is not good, the entire Nazi group worked together to achieve all their purposes, such as territorial expansion, the suppression of the communist system, each with its different skills. Loyalty, since the Nazis never disappointed their race or ideology and always trusted her whatever, they were even faithful to her own death, Germany’s competitiveness for win. Leadership directed by Hitler.
What values are needed to improve the situation of your topic? Why?
Sensitivity, it is a value that I consider primary so that the situation of my subject would have improved in its time, since Hitler’s methods to achieve his objectives were quite cruel, if he had only had a bit of sensitivity and not a rock withoutfeelings, might not have died millions of people.
Goodness, many countries that had high power could have taken action within Poland where most concentration camps were found to take action against the atrocities that happened within them.
Where is the role of evil reflected?
It is reflected in all the actions carried out by the Nazis
Is there a law that protects individual rights and guarantees on your subject?
No, during that time the German regime was without limits and without legal objections.
What laws and consequences do you propose to address the issue you chose?
I would have liked that the Constitution during that time declared everyone as the same and thus sanction those who violate that law through verbal or physical aggressions.
How would you apply the moral obligation?
The moral obligation requires free election, therefore, here it is manifested in the power exercised by the party "National Socialism" especially Germany, they governed society through their own laws and criteria to how they agreed and benefited from a betterway.
conclusion
From my point of view despite all the brutalities that Hitler committed, I think he is one of the few individuals that I dare to say that without him the course of history would have been completely different. He was an inhuman person, without values and egocentric, his behavior was not related to ethics, I am against everything he did. The issue of Nazism currently affects communities other than mine, who want to follow the pattern of their ideology, as a person I break my heart thinking that people who had the right to live died from a huge injustice. Ethics is related in the analysis of General Hitler’s behavior and his Nazi group that could not even be considered "human" behavior.
