The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events that have ever happened. The Holocaust mainly included the Polish, the Jews, and the Germans. Adolf Hitler, one of the most drastic leaders yet, forced all Jews into a camp, most preferably Dachau Concentration Camp. Aside from the Jews, many people attempted to assassinate Hitler, but failed Student ! 8/26/14 8:06 PM epically, until he committed suicide. Since Hitler was one of the most powerful leaders of them all, he was very hard to Comment [2]: Why did they want to assassinate Hitler? assassinate especially because he had a good amount of experience and skill. Whether it was at the Beer Putsch Hall, the Wolf’s Lair, or the Nazi Building, many people still wanted to attempt assassination. Josef Rӧmer, also known as Josef Beppo, was born in Munich, Germany, on November 17th, 1892. He was also a member of the Communist party during the Holocaust. Rӧmer was the organizer of all of the assassination attempts from his group, and after Hitler found out, Rӧmer was imprisoned from 1934 to 1939. According to Obersalzberg, “He was imprisoned in a concentration camp from 1933-1939 and after his release tried several times to organize an assassination attempt on Hitler.” (“Josef “Beppo” Romer”) Since he was a part of the Freikorps, he could no longer be with them because of his imprisonment, plus the fighters joined Hitler in 1921. After Freikorps dissolved, ex-members and troops wore rings. Dachau Concentration Camp held Jews and political prisoners from all over Germany and many others countries that were involved in the Holocaust...prisoners that were kept in the camp were forced to do labor or even death. In this camp two hundred thousand people were limited by the Nazi regime and out of those two hundred thousand, forty thousand people died in camp. Rӧmer was the sentenced to death in June 19th, 1944. About ten to eleven years after a memorial was established for the Dachau Concentration Camp. A Swiss-Roman Catholic named Maurice Bavaud, was a student from Switzerland, but only spoke French. In 1938, Bavaud tried to arrange a meeting to see Hitler in Munich, Germany, during the Beer Hall Putsch. On his way to Munich he was arrested for no reserved train ticket, and served a two-month detention for unlawful possessions of firearms, also known 4 Jackson 5 as weapons. After his two-month detention, he was released and stayed in Munich to attend the Beer Hall Putsch, where he found Hitler. Bavaud had never shot a gun in his life; hence, he has failed his mission to assassinate Hitler. His soldiers were surrounding the building at the time, and since Bavaud was on the opposite side of where Hitler was, it was obvious who the suspect was. He was then sent to the Gestapo where he could have been sent back to Switzerland, but Swiss diplomacy didn’t care whether he was sent back or put in a camp. He was eventually sent to a camp that remained as unknown and beheaded in 1941, four years before Hitler died. Helmut Hirsch, a German Jew, was considered a terrorist when he tried to bomb the Nazi building. Even today, not all of the bombing detailed is clearly clarified through American and German forces. In 1936, Hirsch was a part of a plot where he carried a bomb inside of a suitcase and was then instructed to attempt terrorism on the Nazi Party Headquarters and himself. Shortly after his tremendous fail, he was arrested in 1936. After he was released, he then became involved with the Black Font, which was lead by anti-Nazi expatriates. During this time, his double agent then betrayed him. When he was turned in, he then had to deal with American vs. German cases, since he had an American citizenship. According to Jewish Currents, “...Hirsch beheaded on June 4, 1937, at age 21.” (“December 21”) Erwin von Witzleben, tried to assassinate Hitler in Paris, but was then arrested by General Linnertz. When he was taken to court, Ronald Freisler, the president of the People’s Court back in Germany, challenged him. On August 7, 1944, Freisler was the bully of the court to all of the eight conspirators. The eight conspirators were those who were against Hitler and were accused for assassination. He was so harsh on the accused men that at least one hundred men were executed every year. On September 27, 1940, Germany, Japan, and Italy, became known as the Axis Powers; signed the Tripartite Pact, which was then followed by Operation Barbarossa that was created on December 18, 1940. Operation Barbarossa instructed for these three countries to invade the Soviet Union. Finally, the Soviet Union was defeated while Germany was suffering more than seven hundred seventy-five casualties; supply shortage, disease, loss of soldiers, etc. Shortly after Germany was suffering, Nazi Germany decided to surrender. The Soviet Union was a major “Hitler Hater” group. Aside from their attempts on attacking Nazi Germany, Soviet lost one thousand aircraft from Hitler’s attack (Giblin, 157) and was incredibly cut from supplies. Six million Soviet Soldiers were captured or wounded during the Holocaust, but out of those six million, eight hundred thousand Soviet soldiers died. Not only did the Soviet fail, but also Germans failed the winter warfare because of their supply shortage. Soviet failed to collapse the Nazi force, which caused more conflict between the two. In 1941, Nazi Germany invaded Soviet and waged a war against the Jews of the Soviet force. There was a major conflict between the Soviet Union and Germany until they signed a pact that caused them to stay true to each other. The Soviet Union saw the Pact as a threat to peace. Hitler then decided to sign a pact with the eastern European countries, which was enforced to attack the Soviet. Finally a new pact was signed on August 23, 1939, which was also known as the “Ten-Year Nonaggression pact”; including many protocols to the Soviet Union. This enabled them to attack Poland on September 1, of 1939. Since Poland signed a pact with Britain and France, they declared war on Germany, which lead to surrenders and much more. Soviet and Germany fought eastern Europe in the summer of 1940; Germany also 5 Jackson 6 traded Soviet manufactured goods for raw materials, which was big help to each side. In the Berlin Bunker, Hitler married Eva Braun near midnight on April 28. Even though Hitler was one of the bravest leaders and one of the greatest dictators of Germany none to man, he knew that one day he had to die. He has never lost faith in his soldiers, and he kept telling his soldiers to always have courage and faith in themselves, just as he had faith in them. After so many assassination attempts, Hitler finally decides to commit suicide in the Berlin Bunker on April 30, 1944 along with his wife. His suicidal decision, gave the Germany the right away to surrender unconditionally, in which they did on May 1, 1945. That same year, World War II at last ended in Europe. Even though Hitler was a tough leader, he will not be forgotten because of his tremendous, but deadly leadership skill 6 Jordan Jackson 7 Ms. Murphy Holocaust 7 Jordan Jackson 8 Ms. Murphy Holocaust 8 .

  • Hitler's Personal Security: Gaps and Contradictions by Peter Hoffman*
    Summer 1984 Hitler's Personal Security: Gaps and Contradictions by Peter Hoffman* INTRODUCTION The world, certainly Europe, would look very different if in No­ vember 1938 the Führer and Reich Chancellor of Nazi Germany had been killed. Perhaps people would have regarded him as a "Great German," as a noted colleague has speculated; more important, the suffering, destruction and division resulting from the Second World War might have been avoided. It is well known that attempts to as­ sassinate Hitler were made repeatedly, though it is probably less well known how many such attacks there were. At last count, no fewer than fourteen individuals made at least thirty separate, documented attempts to murder Hitler during the years 1933 to 1945. In the light of so much anti-Hitler energy, it seems reasonable and interesting to look at the circumstances in which Hitler survived all this hostility for so long. The author's interest in those circumstances grew out of a study of anti-Hitler activities, of the German Resistance and their efforts to do away with the Dictator. It soon became clear that the problems of Hitler's personal protection went far beyond those with which modern leaders ordinarily have to live, and that they had far greater implications, for they affected the lives of literally millions of people. The obvious question was how Hitler survived the many attempts on his life. There were conflicting claims as to how easy or difficult it was for a would-be assassin to get close enough to Hitler for a chance to kill him.

  • Canadian Committee for the History of the Second World War: First
    Canadian Committee for the History of the Second World War ⁄ Comité Canadien de l' Histoire de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale The first conference ⁄ La première conférence at ⁄ au Collège Militaire Royal de Saint-Jean 20 - 22 Oct 1977 Proceedings Compte rendu CANADIAN COMMITTEE FOR THE HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR Proceedings of the First Conference Held at Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean Saint-Jean, Quebec 20-22 October, 1977 These proceedings are being distributed with the permission of the authors of the various papers given at our first conference. because of the disparate nature of the subjects it was considered preferable not to seek a publisher for the proceedings, but rather to limit distribution to members of the Canadian Committee and certain other interested people, such as the president and secretary of the international committee. Consequently no attempt has been made to link the papers to an overall theme, and there has not been the rigorous editing that would have accompanied publication. It was a suggestion to hold a conference on the Dieppe landings in 1942 that prompted these meetings. When it was found that there was inadequate interest among historians in Canada for an exhaustive examination of the Dieppe question, or even of a reconsideration of Canadian military operations in the Second World War, we decided to build a conference around the most active research under way in Canada. This meant that there was no theme as such, unless it could be called "The Second World War: Research in Canada Today". Even that would have been inaccurate because there was no way of including all aspects of such research, which is in various stages of development in this country, in one relatively small and intimate conference.

America had joined the war in 1917 and with their help, Germany was slowly losing land and retreating by October 1918. This was not reported to the German people so they were shocked when they finally surrendered. The situation was made even worse by the British navy surrounding Germany to prevent food getting in (a blockade) which led to serious food shortages and hardship for ordinary German people. The Kaiser had always controlled the government, army and navy but it October 1918 politicians took control of the government for the first time as the military situation got worse. Led by Prince Max of Baden they wanted to end the war however the leader of America, President Wilson, refused to discuss surrender until Kaiser Wilhelm (the man Wilson blamed for starting the war) was removed.

    Abridged Excerpts from Resistance of the Heart: Intermarriage and the Rosenstrasse Protest in Nazi Germany by Nathan Stoltzfus W. W. Norton, 1996, © Nathan Stoltzfus, 1996 Introduction__________________________________ Berlin, February 27, 1943 Hours before first light, a battalion of SS men, local Gestapo agents, and street policemen fanned out [1] across Berlin in a fleet of 300 trucks, to capture the city's last, unsuspecting Jews. Leading the charge was the Leibstandarte Hitler, an SS unit of select tall, blond soldiers whose small advances against the Red Army had briefly fanned hopes of German victory, in a time when the Wehrmacht was largely in retreat. [2] Some of the SS troops on Berlin's streets this morning wore the decorations of valor in war. But their mandate this Saturday was to make Berlin "free of Jews." Jews still working in armaments factories, as well as intermarried Jews, were the primary targets. In black uniforms and steel helmets, armed with bayoneted rifles and machine guns, the SS cast a grim image intended to put fear in the heart of anyone who might protest or complain about the arrest of these last, relatively well-connected Jews of Berlin. The Gestapo's code name for this massive arrest (which has often been called the Factory Action) was the "Final Roundup [3] of the Jews," and for thousands, this was the beginning of the end. Without warning or explanation, the SS and Gestapo fell upon the work benches of the "Jewish crews," driving them without onto the waiting furniture trucks. The victims, clad in thin work aprons, were not allowed the time to pick up their winter coats or their homemade breakfasts and lunches.

  • Nazi Firearms Law and the Disarming of the German Jews
    NAZI FIREARMS LAW AND THE DISARMING OF THE GERMAN JEWS 17 Arizona Journal of International and Comparative Law, No. 3, 483-535 (2000) Stephen P. Halbrook* We are in danger of forgetting that the Bill of Rights reflects experience with police excesses. It is not only under Nazi rule that police excesses are inimical to freedom. It is easy to make light of insistence on scrupulous regard for the safeguards of civil liberties when invoked on behalf of the unworthy. It is too easy. History bears testimony that by such disregard are the rights of liberty extinguished, heedlessly at first, then stealthily, and brazenly in the end. Justice Felix Frankfurter1 The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing.
