What influence did Hitler have over his people

Hitler started World War 2

• Adolf Hitler had an amazing power of speech therefore , he was able to effectively ‘brainwash’ his soldiers.
• This influenced lives because the effect these soldiers had was pretty dramatic.
• The Holocaust was a ‘ programme' that the Nazi party set up, which involved the systematic 'extermination' of an estimated 6 million European Jews.
• Murders were carried out whether they were of German descent or not.

• Hitler slowly removed Jews from the German society
• However, with the cover of World War II, the Nazis created an elaborate and intensive system to work Jews as slaves and kill them.
• On April 29, 1945, Adolf Hitler married his long-time mistress, Eva Braun, and wrote both his last will and political testament
• The following day, on April 30, 1945, Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide.

What was the reason of this killing?

• The reason was that Hitler was an Aryan
• The effects of the Holocaust weren't just that millions of people died, but that also the ripple effect that deaths can have on a family.
