The Mein Kampf Book Report

Improved Essays
The Mein Kampf was once Germany’s “bible”, but now society disapproves of this book because of who the author was and the message that the author was sending. Adolf Hitler, Germany’s Fuhrer from 1933 to 1945, is the author of this despised novel. Some people might not know it, but before Hitler fought in World War I he was trying to become a professional painter because his lifelong passion was painting, but he was denied the possibility of getting into the art school in Vienna and that is when he decided to enlist for the War. Consequently, Hitler became this military nut who became increasingly obsessed with every detail of war and he then began to oppose to the way that Germany was being governed. Hitler wrote this novel when he was imprisoned for protesting and going against the German government before he gained power. He spent a …show more content…
Adolf initiates the novel describing his childhood and how he suffered the abuses of his alcoholic father and the loss of his mother at a crucial stage of his life. He had a great bond with his mother and when the day came that she stopped breathing it he fell apart. His mother was his hero, his model, his rock, his one and only. Some might say that Adolf was a “mama’s boy”, but I think that he was just really close to her and that is why he suffered so much from her passing away. It feels strange to say it, but I can actually relate Hitler because if my mother were to die I wouldn’t know how to pick up the pieces and continue on with my life. Mothers and sons have one of the strongest bonds that exist. Relating to person that caused so much damage and was filled with so much evil is really difficult. I believe that if Hitler’s mom wouldn’t have passed away so early in his life (Hitler was a young adult) the course of humanity might have been completely

    That very person, turned his son into a monster. I think that he made his son not to have a sense of belonging. I bet that everything that Himmler did was to impress his father at least to acknowledge the things he has done. For example when he was twenty-five years old, he was hired by…

    Junge supposedly admitted to Schmiderer that she feels like she could let go of her life now that her story is being told. One of the important discussion questions asked about the film was how does Frau Junge portray Hitler? The class discussed this question at length, and we came up with the conclusion that Junge described Hitler as more of a father figure to her, as she had a much more personal relationship with him than most others. The private memories she shared about Hitler humanized him in a sense, providing a perspective that a good majority of the public had never heard.…

    In his argument, Simone Weil discusses the truth behind Hitler’s sayings from his autobiography Mein Kampf. In which she expresses her agreement with Hitler’s way of thinking, saying that Hitler was the only one who had the “certain courage” to put his beliefs in place without being labeled a criminal. She believes that Hitler in his autobiography Mein Kampf that he gives a perfect description of the natural laws we live by. But what Weil doesn’t look at is the place he is coming from which is why I believe Weil’s response is incorrect, because Hitler’s way of thinking is the way of a criminal not just because he was in prison at the time, but he is promoting inequality and greed by spreading the belief that there is a weak and a strong side…

    “Here he stops at nothing, and in his vileness, he becomes so gigantic that no one need be surprised if among our people the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of a Jew. ”Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, page 293. Throughout The Book Thief, Mein Kampf is used time and time again. From Max’s escape to the pages he uses to write.

    Throughout the history of the world, hatred and prejudice have always existed and it always will, but the Holocaust took that hatred and prejudice to a whole new, more extreme level. The Holocaust began in 1933 and lasted for roughly 12 years, and debatably the biggest tragedy in world history. It is so widely known because it consisted of an evil man with way too much power, the genocide of roughly eleven million people, and the terrible conditions each person had to endure. The person behind the entire event, Adolf Hitler, is one of the most powerful people in the world.…

    So, in “Mein Kampf,” Speiegelman is not only dealing with “Maus” overpowering and intimidating him. But, as hinted in my analysis, he is also dealing with a mid-life crisis and the loss of memory as he enters old age. He faces these problems by going into his mind, searching for these memories and reminiscing about them. It’s an interesting dynamic, the fact that he goes into his own mind to find the memories. Then he proceeds to relive or commiserate them inside his head instead of psychically.…

    Although Adolf Hitler desired to invade both England and the Soviet Union he was forced to make a decision between the two in the late spring early summer of 1941. Adolf Hitler expressed strong desire in his book Mein Kampf, that he had an underlying objective to invade the Soviet Union. His justifications were to overcome the threat from Jewish-Bolshevik Communism and to gain expanded territory for the German people. Additionally, Hitler believed the German people were a superior race and decided it was best to turn east and rid the Europe of non-German people by means of deportation, enslave, and even death. Adolf Hitler, also believed it was his destiny for the German people to rule Europe just as they had done six-hundred years prior.…

    Hitler carried his hatred for Jews with him into adult hood. He later served in the German army during World War I. Like many anti-Semites, Hitler accused the Jews for their defeat in the war in 1918 and many other things. He later joined the National German Workers’ Party, which became the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, also known as the Nazi Party. When he was later imprisoned for treason for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, he spent his days writing a book if his own. A memoir, he called “Mien Kampf” (My Struggle) which expressed his prediction of a European war that the extermination of the Jewish race.…
