Unknown people stomping through a Jewish house, rampaging through belongings and taking anything that catches their eye. During World War Two this was the case if you were Jewish or a modernist artist. Germany had tried to put a hold on imagination by selling and destroying artwork that went against Hitler 's ways. He would send in soldiers to take whatever they could get their hands on. This was in the period of the Holocaust where an evil dictator named Hitler would murder innocent Jewish families for his own twisted self. He would take paintings and possessions from Jewish families, and then sell them for absolutely nothing just to prove that they were worthless. In an attempt to remove degenerate art, Hitler, a failed artist, would go to great length to rid the world of modern artwork, artists, and museums that didn’t meet his anti-Semitic standard. …show more content…
Hitler applied to the Vienna Academy of Arts twice, and got rejected twice. Thus began his hatred towards modernists (Why Hitler Stole). Before WWI Hitler was broke, living in a homeless shelter making paintings that would sell to the equivalent to $10 (Dolnick 56). Once Hitler came to power he forced artists to either conform to Hitler or to flee (Why Hitler Stole). Any artwork that Hitler didn’t like would be sold or burned after it wasn’t sold (Why Nazi-seized). Now people have made the art restoration laws, like in Austria it is illegal to buy artwork for less than it is worth from this period of time(Why Nazi Seized). What 's weird is that Hitler was a failed artist and with all of that hatred he is now trying to get rid of art and stealing it from
When rising to power Hitler sees the Jewish people as the enemy race. As a result, he plans to exterminate every last one of them. Wicked men of his Nazi army captured Jews, then changed them profoundly; they took away
Freshta Halimi Mrs. Pangburn English Honors 2 February 28, 2018 In the novel, Night, Elie Wiesel narrates his life experiences as a young Jewish boy during the horrific time on the holocaust. They were forced to live in concentration camps where they endured many inhumane treatments. The abuse the diabolical Germans forced upon them was mentally and physically challenging. They had everything taken away from them, forced them to abandon their homes, families, their possessions, and finally their humanity.
He made the final effort to be admitted to the Vienna Art Academy, but was utterly rejected. When his only friend, Kubizek, was admitted to a different Arts Academy in Vienna, Hitler left their apartment that they shared and they never talked again because Hitler left no information for Kubizek to find him. (“Hitler is Homeless in Vienna”) Some would even say “In the Autumn of 1909, Hitler drifted downwards until he hit the rock bottom.” (Robin Cross 19) Hitler could have avoided this completely because of his father’s status as a civil service worker, and could have easily gotten a job, but he continued on his quest to be an artist.
According to Hitler and the Nazi party, the Jewish community weren’t people and they were just objects. Hitler found the Jewish community unpleasant and a disgrace to the world.
Many theories to why Hitler hated Jews are present today. One theory is that the Jews were the cause of the economic downfall in Germany and that Hitler blamed them for the overall loss of World War I. Another theory was the conformity of race and that only people of Nordic decent were worthy and pure. Whichever the true theory, this led to many impacts on cultures and societies all over.
During his time at these camps he is confronted with absolute evils. Hitler’s goal was to annihilate the Jewish people’s being, culture and beliefs. To an extent for the Jews who endured the reality of the concentration camps he succeeded. The Jewish people were systematically
Art played a big roll in the holocaust believe it or not, for example. A variety of different types of art that were considered national treasures were plundered all over Europe during WWII by the Nazis. Most of the art plundered were paintings and sculptures. Paintings and sculptures were stolen from all throughout Europe.

Hitler gave his movement the symbol of the Holocaust. That symbol meant great change and a positive future to the German, they never knew what was going to become of their home. After receiving all the money from propaganda and donations Hitler used that money secretly to build concentration camps and start speeches to persuade people into believing the Jews were terrible and manipulative people that had to be exterminated. The Swastika was quickly and abruptly turning into a symbol the country of Germany was ashamed to be known by.
Born on the fourth of April, 1889, a boy by the name of Adolf Hitler would one day be known around the world as one of the most evil dictators to have ever lived. Adolf’s early youth seemed to have been highly influenced by his father until his death in 1903, after which he began to exhibit rebellious behavior. He started to fail in school and eventually quit formal education all together in 1905 and started exploring the depths of his artistic levels. In 1907, when his mother died, he moved to Vienna, planning to enrol in a famed academy of fine arts. He was rejected admission that year and the next thus leading him to a deep depression as he began to drift away from his friends.
In his book, Night, Elie Wiesel wrote, “I told him that I did not believe that they could burn people in our age, that humanity would never tolerate it…” yet they did just that. To this day, one of the most taught and lectured wars is the Holocaust, where around eleven million people died in the most gruesome and evil manner ever imagined. People were burned and gassed but no one did anything to stop it. There are hundreds of books and movies out today that try to help us understand just what it was like in those days. Maus I: My Father Bleeds History written by Art Spiegelman and Night written by Elie Wiesel are two books written by a survivor and a survivor’s son, that illustrate the gruesome yet vivid details of what they lived.
Lastly, he shamed the Jews. He made them wear stars, which symbolized the “humiliation” of being a Jew. Hitler is a huge perpetrator for the Holocaust because he was manipulative, portrayed himself as a father figure, and shamed the
Since then, Hitler had loved his new nationality of being a German which is foreshadowing Hitlers later job as dictator and ruler of the Nazis. In Hitlers adult years, his father had died which allowed Hitler to gain his strong feelings for painting and artistry again. Hitler even made the attempt to go to an art school but was rejected twice. Since Hitler dumped so much money into artistry, he became broke and thought of nothing better to do than join the army during WWI. Hitler was eventually wounded in the line of battle and while he was getting fixed up in the hospital he had heard that the Germans had surrendered and he blamed some of it on the Jews.
While he dictated, the culture of Germany was changed. Hitler wanted to make the population all think and be one certain way. To make this happen he made, “ Musical performances, movies, and other cultural public activities...all meant to make German’s brains exactly like the Nazi, eliminating any other thought of anti-government”(1). By controlling what people watched and read, Hitler brainwashed Germans to think positively of him and the Nazi’s. The population was not able to freely read or watch any sort of literature or other arts.
