On page 9 of Rose Blanche, the text states that “Suddenly electric barbed wire stopped me. Behind it were some children standing still.” These children had very pale faces and looked hungry. They were behind a high barbed wire fence with black and white striped coats that went down their legs. Why would these people be wearing striped clothing behind barbed wire?

Although many Germans supported Hitler, many opposed what he was doing. The most famous anti-Hitler group consisted of mostly German youth. One of the reasons that this resistance group was created was because they were forced to join Hitler Youth. (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum).

Hitler's legacy will forever live in infamy and violence for the millions of lives that he affected. The author's statement of "... his cruel, violent legacy is often seen as a warning to the rest of the world..." And quite frankly, she supports her claim very persistently throughout the article.

I recently read an excerpt from Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. The excerpt is entitled Nation and Race, and it deals with Hitler’s own thoughts about racial superiority and races in general. While this paper is very well written, it is full of ideas that many people in the present would not agree with.

In paragraph 6 of Nation and race (1925)

During the Holocaust, the Germans murdered any individual that did not fit into Hitler’s purified race. This “cleansing” of the German race began with the sterilization program. After Hitler reaped the successes of the sterilization program, he advanced to his euthanasia program. Hitler did not only euthanize Jews and Gypsies, he also executed people with disabilities
