Argumentative Essay On Lebensborn

930 Words4 Pages

Lebensborn, also known as “fountain of life”, is known for being one of the most “secret and terrifying Nazi projects.” The founder of this project, Heinrich Himmler, had the idea of a perfect Nazi/Aryan nation by forcing women to have children. These children were then sent to the SS Organization where they were taught the ways and beliefs of the Germans. However, when the war ended, several children were saved and sent back to their families or put up for adoption. The women and children involved in this project were treated extremely awful by the Nazi Germans (The Nazi Party: The "Lebensborn" Program). The idea of the Lebensborn project was to reverse the declining birthrate of Germany and increase the Germanic/Nordic population to 120 million. The first Lebensborn home was built outside of Munich, but this is just one of ten Lebensborn homes throughout Germany. The ten Lebensborn homes were established in Germany. There were nine in Norway and two in Austria. Also, there was one each in Belgium, Holland, France, Luxembourg, and Denmark (The Nazi Party: The "Lebensborn" Program).

These children were taken by the SS Organization to Lebensborn homes where they were taught the ways of the Germans. Some were adopted by German families. After the war, American troops came in and found 300 children and put them up for adoption. In all, about 25,000 children were saved and sent home to their original families or sent back to their native countries if they came from another country. The Lebensborn Project was one of the most terrifying projects of the Holocaust and will never be

    In the article There was no Offensive-Defensive Confederate Strategy Donald Stroker wanted to prove that Vandiver, a celebrated historian and professor was wrong about the strategy used in the Confederacy during the civil war. Stroker brought up points such as “The biggest problem is Vandiver’s first words: “His strategy was the offensive-defensive.” At no point does Vandiver present any evidence that Davis ever decided to prosecute such a strategy.” (Stroker, pg. 8) Stroker had jumped from explaining how the offensive-defensive could have possibly been a strategy in the Confederacy, to proving how it was not an option, and how there was no evidence to show that it was an option.

    Eugenics was prominent during the twenties and aimed to improve the human population by reducing the likeliness of defective genetic traits. Eugenics was practiced mainly in institutions for patients who possessed traits that could be passed through reproduction. During the time of eugenics, a young woman named Carrie Buck was sterilized in order to prevent passing on the traits that she and her mother possessed. Carrie and her mother were both institutionalized and considered “feeble minded”, therefore they were seen as unable to contribute to the procreation of the human race. These ideas of perfecting the human race resembled that of Hitler’s, as described in the Mein Kampf.

Over time, the Nazi strategies intensified; beginning at forced sterilization, and then transitioning into mass murder. Forced sterilization was a government policy that coerced the Disabled into surgical treatments in an attempt to cure them. The most extreme method of manslaughter, known as the “Euthanasia Program”, was a trial run for the Final Solution to the Jewish Question (“Euthanasia Program”). The word “Euthanasia” is translated into “good death”, but to the Nazis, it was a term that implied the systematic mass murders of thousands.

Forty five days is how long it took the United States Congress to pass a law that gave up the very concept of liberty upon which this country is founded. The morning sky was a brilliant shade of blue with not a cloud in sight in New York on that fateful day of September.

  • Willie Bosket Argumentative Essay

    480 Words  | 2 Pages

    In general, I don’t believe that juveniles can be born evil or bad. Environmental factors carry a lot of weight when it comes to how children develop and grow into adults. However, in the uniquely gritty case of Willie Bosket, I believe it’s safe to say that if there were ever a case of a child being “born bad”, then Willie definitely meets the mark. When looking back at his lengthy family history filled with extreme deviance and outright violence, you can quite easily see that Willie fits right into the mold that was created long before he was even born. I think that a lot of Willie’s violent and criminal tendencies were learned from what he was exposed to while growing up.
