Causes of the Holocaust body paragraph

There were many causes that lead up to the Holocaust happening. Its important to examine these causes because it is such a horrible event that many people can not understand how it happened. First there was a lot of political success id the Nazi party in Germany. Then after numerous military successes which were from 1939 to 1942 they continued to gain government control. This included invading East Europe, France, Denmark, Holland, and Russia, not just thousands of Jews. This was made worse because the economy was so bad and times were very tense. This control that Hitler tried to have was often focused on the Jewish population. There was a lot of blame going around and it seemed "easy" to make the Jewish population an easy scapegoat. Hitlers ultimate goal was to "purify" Germany by sending Jews to concentration camps. Not everybody agrees on all the causes, some would evan argue that Hitler has syphilis which caused paranoia, a bad temper, and unrealistic goals (Kimel, 1). Whether or not everyone can agree on the fact that it happened and the effects have lasted many life times.

Global issue's (poverty)

There are people in poverty across the world, about half of the people in the world are suffering from poverty, that is about 3 billion people, most of those people are living  on less than $2.50 a DAY. One billion of those people are children. 10.6 million children in 2003 died before they reached the age of five because they are living in poverty. I think this is a really big issue in the world today that needs to be changed. When I think of poverty it reminds me of Nectar in a Sieve, because the food is very scarce in the book and many people who are living in poverty can't afford meals. People who grow up living in poverty usually don't have the chance that kids get who live in a normal home, they don't have any education, which can cause them to end up living in poverty when they grow older, also they don't have health care. Without health care I wouldn't have the shots I need to prevent sicknesses that I could possibly die from, imagine not having health care. Around the world everyday 27-30,000 children die every day, one child dies every three seconds, twenty die every minute. There clearly needs to be something done about poverty.

National Holidays (April Fools)

I read an article about April fools, also known as All Fools Day, it is known as one of the most light hearted days of the year. There is really no origin of this holiday, and there is no calender that can show when the first april fools day was. Some people might say that the holiday represents the change of seasons, and some people just say its the adoptin of the new calendar, i think it represtents the change of seasons because its a fun day around the change from winter to spring.

Causes of the Holocaust

Some causes of the Holocaust were:

1. The political success of the Nazi party.

2. Hitler's diplomatic and then military successes from 1939-42, invading France, Denmark, Holland and much of Eastern Europe and Russia, giving the Nazi regime governmental control over millions, not just thousands of Jews

3. Nazi's took advantage of Germany.

4. Communists 

5. Hitler wanted to "purify" Germany.

6. Hitler blamed the Jews for loosing WW1, so thats why he sent them to the concentration camps and why he hated them.

7. The economy was bad. They needed someone to blame for that so they blamed the Jews.

8. According to Alexander Kimel Hitler's mental health was a direct cause of the Holocaust. It is thought that his brain was damaged by syphilis; this caused him to be paranoid, brutal, and have illusions of grandeur.
