The Holocaust through the point of view of an anti hero

Second World War was arguably the most significant period of the 20th century. It was also the most
destructive war in all of history, its exact cost in human lives is unknown, but casualties in World War
II may have totaled 50 million soldiers and civilians killed. The Holocaust, also known as Shoah, is
one of the most significant events of this war. It was a genocide in which Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany
and its collaborators killed about six million Jews. Thereby, he is considered as true monster while his
actions are often designated as crime against humanity. Nevertheless, he was able to perform this
extermination thanks to the people who supported his ideas. So despite the horrors he has perpetrated,
for some he was seen as a savior in Germany, the one that would make the country great again. One
could therefore equate Hitler with an anti hero. Let's review the facts of this event through his
perspective.
In 1933, Jews in Germany numbered around 525,000. During the next six years, us Nazis undertook
Germany. Under the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents were
considered Jews. They are routine targets for persecution. This led to Kristallnacht, or the night of
broken glass in November 1938, where German synagogues were burned and windows in Jewish
shops were smashed; a hundred Jews were killed and thousands more arrested.
I opened the first official concentration camp at Dachau in March 1933. Many of the first prisoners
sent there were Communists. Dachau was under the control of Heinrich Himmler, head of the Nazi
guards. Beginning in late 1941, we began mass transports from the ghettoes in Poland to the
concentration camps, starting with the least useful: the sick, old and weak and the very young. The
first mass gassings began at the camp of Belzec. Five more mass killing centers were built at camps.
From 1942 to 1945, Jews were deported to the camps from all over Europe. We tried to keep operation
of camps secret, the scale of the killing made this virtually impossible. At Auschwitz alone, we were
able to get rid of 2 million of them. A large population of Jewish and non-Jewish inmates worked in
the labor camp there; though only Jews were gassed, thousands of others died of starvation or disease.
As many as 12,000 Jews were killed every day.
I blame this war on International Jewry and its helpers and I order the German leaders and people to
follow the strict racial laws and have resistance against the universal poisoners of the Jews. Then, I
committed suicide. I was sick of dealing with being told I was wrong in hurting these people. They
aren't part of the German race. Germanys formal surrender in World War II came barely a week later,
on May 8, 1945.
