- 143: Holocaust Revisited
- ... fathom, which also makes it unique. Although there is a question of whether or not the event of the Holocaust and genocide toward the Jews was prefigured, I think it is important to realize what Hitler’s intentions were.

Is this a Jew? was my first thought…I observed the an furtively and cautiously, but the longer I stared at this ... began to hate them…For me this was the time of the greatest spiritual upheaval I ever had to go through. I had ceased to be a weak-kneed cosmopolitan and became an anti-Semite.” (Hitler) The goals of Hitler were well thought out years before the persecution of the Jews and certainly long before the result of the conditions of the war itself. Hitler wrote the Mein Kampf in ...
- 144: 1984 3
- ... t allowed to speak to each other on the street, they aren't allowed to bye anything that isn't necessary. This novel is also a critique of various political systems, such as Italian Fascist, Hitler s Nazi, and particularly Russian Stalinist. It has lots of symbols representing the situation of the world at that time. Next, I will compare the methods of government and social control used in the story ... as a dictator from 1922-1953. Italy, at the same time as Stalin government, was ruled by Benito Mussolini (1922-1943). He was the founder and leader of Italian Fascism. While Germany was ruled by Hitler with his Nazi party. In the story, the government put Big Brother pictures everywhere with the saying, "Big Brother is Watching You, and also the famous propaganda, War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance ... the government. Russia, Italy and Germany also had the same kind of social control like 1984. Stalin had icons, statues, busts, and images of him all over Russia, public buildings, schoolrooms, and homes.

Ministries of Truth is also the one who holds the Two Minutes Hate, an event where ...
- 145: Famous Last Words
- ... they are the right leaders. The Duke says Europe needs, "…a new kind of leader--someone like a flag, whose very presence makes us rise. Not a Mussolini, of who we are afraid. Not a Hitler who drives us to our feet. But an emblem whose magnetism pulls us upward." (180) The Duke sees himself as being more powerful and influential, more of a leader, than either Hitler or Mussolini. He compares his potential leadership to that of a country’s flag- someone people will respect and admire. He truly believes he can be their new leader and puts himself on a pedestal ... Duke of Windsor was very manipulative and created an alliance where many secrets were kept and where the only benefit of the war and alliance was all his own.

He does not care what he has to do to get things ...

- ... these people. The final five documents attempt to show varying explanations as to how this abomination known as the Holocaust could have occurred. The first, an excerpt form Machiavelli's The Prince shows reasons that Hitler was able to retain such control over the population. He states that fear enables a ruler to retain perfect control over those he rules. Indeed this was one of Hitler's strategies. He scared people into not reacting by using the threats of imprisonment and death. The statements made by Hobbes attempt to prove that man is naturally evil. Although upon first glance at the ... The surrounding conditions of economic depression and a general anti-Semitic attitude enabled Germans to accept something that they would abhor under other circumstances. Providing the hatred of the Jews was not an accepted attitude, Hitler would not have been able to implement his "Final Solution". In actuality it would seem that none of the philosophers that deal with human nature are entirely correct. Instead a combination is probably true. ...
