Abstract
This paper looks at Nazi Germany's attempts at the economic recovery of the nation. Hitler's priorities concerning the economic recovery of Germany, programs initiated by Nazi Germany to stimulate the economy, and the principles of Hitler's four-year plan are discussed in this paper.
From the Paper
"In the early 1930's, Germany was plagued by unemployment and stagnant growth despite efforts by the administration to alleviate the country's economic difficulties. The economic liberalization of the banking system was one of few cautionary steps taken by administrations prior to Hitler to boost Germany's failing industries. This all changed following the Nazi rise to power; two notable banking acts passed in 1934 and 1936 effectively converted the banking system into Hitler's personal lender, allowing him to replace commercial borrowing with the various savings institutes that would allow him to re-build the German army. In this period, wages were frozen and the armaments business boomed, while individuals suffered as wages were frozen at their pre-Hitler-era rate. Meanwhile, the government was able to continue to borrow money from Germany's savings banks to contribute to the building of the military."

The Psychology Behind The Nazi Regime, 2003.

Abstract
This paper discusses the psychological techniques that Hitler and the Nazis used during the 1930s to assume control in Germany and maintain order until their defeat in 1945. The paper breaks down several sociological and psychological concepts such as obedience, conformity, the power of iconic symbols, national pride, and the authority of a centralized ideal over the individual. The paper demonstrates that the Nazis were adept at creating an environment in which the wounded German psyche, crippled from harsh treatment from the Versailles Treaty and foreign oppression, was able to restore its strength under the symbol of the swastika. While many Germans understood that the Nazis were perhaps corrupt and performing cruel actions against their fellow man, particular psychological elements that the Nazis installed upon their rise to power in the 1930s prohibited any individual from opposing their rule. The last part of the paper discusses how many Germans felt that following the Nazis was a way for them to restore the pride they had lost, and Hitler capitalized on this feeling with great effectiveness. There is also a brief description of the tactics that Goebbels used in using his Propaganda Ministry to keep the German masses completely under the heel of Nazi brutality.
From the Paper
"The inclination of human beings within any society to design and accommodate a government that protects their rights as citizens normally is considered top priority for any culture or ethnic group. Throughout history, societies have been influenced by many sociological factors that dictate what system of government they install, or in some cases, governments that are installed for the public by an authoritarian ruler. Nowhere in the annals of human existence can this forced subjugation of the masses be seen more clearly then in Nazi Germany, beginning in 1933 and ending after the Allied victory at Berlin in 1945. This particular case is peculiar however, for not only were the majority of citizens in Germany at the time willing to comply with Hitler's tyrannical government, but many individuals actively participated in the horror that was the Nazi regime. The question behind the German populace's compliance has been explained from the political and economic perspectives countless times, but the most interesting aspect of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich is from a sociological point of view."

Abstract
This essay examines the success of Nazi propaganda and argues that this shocking reality can be explained by four factors that came together to make a deadly poisonous brew. First, the writer notes that the fact that the Germans were so defeated in every sense in the 1930s laid the foundation. Secondly, the writer points out that there was the modern technology for mass communication which the Nazis used to spread their propaganda. Third, there was the Nazi's unusually skillful use of this technology. Finally, the writer notes that there was the German peoples' philosophy or psyche, which made them vulnerable to the Nazis. The writer concludes that these four factors combined to make it possible for the Nazi party's propaganda machine to win over the Germans.
From the Paper
"The first thing to consider is the state of Germany at the time of the Nazi ascent, in the early 1930s. Germany had been the aggressor in the First World War, and after its defeat the victorious nations had punished it, and also attempted to subdue it, by bringing it to its knees militarily and financially. The harshly punitive terms of the Treaty of Versailles made German economic recovery impossible, and sowed the seeds of anger and resentment that would make the Germans a vulnerable target for Nazi propaganda. The economic woes of the Weimar republic were compounded by the effects of the Great Depression. This began in 1929 and affected many European nations, resulting in the rise of several totalitarian movements. Of these, the Nazi party had the easiest task in winning over converts, due to the vulnerability of the Germans. With their backs up against the wall, unable to make a living, many Germans were easy targets for a charismatic leader who promised to save them from their overwhelming woes."

From the Paper
"This study will present a critical analysis of "The Nazi Doctors", by Robert Jay Lifton. The sub-title of the book, "Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide," describes the author's viewpoint and intentions.
The main theme of the book is, indeed, the mind of the Nazi doctor, in general, who committed the most inhumane crimes against helpless victims in the name of "science" or "medicine." From documents available at conferences on the Holocaust, the author "began to realize the extraordinary importance of doctors in general for the Nazi killing project".
The author recognized that he was dealing not only with barely speakable horrors, but also that he was running the risk, with his psychological study, of giving the impression that such ghastly evil could somehow be "understood.""

Abstract
The women of Nazi Germany played an important role in the assimilation of fascist ideology. This paper discusses how, while the world outside of Germany perceives the Third Reich in a negative way, Jill Stephenson provides insight on the female role in Nazi Germany in her book "Women in Nazi Germany". It looks at how the book details the inner workings of family life, the benefits of assimilating to Hitler's laws and the role of leadership that women played during Hitler's reign. It also examines how the book demonstrates the power of propaganda, and also depicts a gender defined society that was not perceived as a disparity, but rather empowered men and women to perform their roles for the preservation of national socialism and the Nazi regime.
From the Paper
"The Third Reich championed the traits of the female, noting that the woman was the primary caretaker of children and the holder of developing a strong Nazi population (Stephenson 6). Nazi Germany touted procreation in order to fill up the ranks of the German military and to provide new generations to learn in Hitler-based schooling systems. There was no limitation to birthing, and any form of birth control was illegal. The leaders of Nazi Germany wanted to ensure healthy Aryan children were integrated and educated properly. Unhealthy children were admonished and not considered an integral unit in Nazi society. "

Abstract
This paper examines how the Nazi party under the leadership of Adolph Hitler tried to educate and encourage the youth of Germany to form a solid basis for the country and the Nazi party in the future. In particular, it looks at the schooling in Germany and how sports and physical discipline were used to encourage a competitive edge. It also examines how strict and nationalist education was taught to narrow opinion and discourage debate as well as the attempts of Hitler and the Nazi Party to become the substitute family for the youth of Germany.
From the Paper
"Hitler capitalised on a boy's desire to succeed, to be more competitive than his fellow competitor and to become the best at his chosen activity. The vast majority of any youth enjoys the participation in any sport and to be competitive, what Hitler was doing was harnessing this spirit and competitiveness of youth and channelling it towards his own ideology and benefit. The compulsory introduction of sports and clubs gave boys pride and unity, and every boy succeeding would benefit from higher rank within their Hitler Youth unit and more recognition. Raising nationalistic feeling through sport would make boys more committed and willing to sacrifice themselves for Germany."

This paper examines to what extent Nazi anti-Semitic policy was motivated by the economy.

Abstract
The writer of this article points out that the anti-Semitic Nazi party, attempted to limit apparent Jewish dominance in German society and the economy through the implementation of specific polices. In this essay the writer tries to explain these policies and the reasons for their implementation, as well as the extent to which these policies were motivated by economic considerations. To achieve this aim the writer looks at the role of Hermann Goering in influencing Nazi Semitic policies and his development of the German economy from 1938 including the removal of Jewish business in an effort to create a 'Nazified' economy. The writer concludes that it can be said that anti-Semitic policies in the period 1933-39 were motivated more by the individual ideologies and subsequent political policies imposed by the founders of the Nazi party such as Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering and the high ranking political figures within the party establishment than economic influences.
From the Paper
"The removal of Jewish civil servants was personally ordered by Hitler in April 1933 and was accomplished relatively easily. Jewish persecution was increased in September 1933 with the passing of a Law banning Jews from Agriculture. However the impact of this law upon Jewish society within Germany was negligible because there were few Jews in the agricultural industry. Hitler's view was that Germany should be made by 'sweat and blood' pure and clean of Jewish influence. The events of 1933 and the increased anti-Semitic policies of the Nazi government were not motivated by economic issues despite some policies affecting economic areas. They were instead general policies with little impact, offered as token gestures by Hitler to satisfy not only his own beliefs, but also the demands of the right-wing fanatics within his own party who were calling for radical anti-Semitic action."

The Birth and Growth of the Nazi Party 1919-1933, 2006.
An analysis of why Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party were able to rise to power in Germany.

Abstract
The defeat of Germany in the First World War came as a tremendous shock to Adolf Hitler and the German people, and is the primary reason why the Nazi Party was able to rise to power. Ever since the founding of the German Empire and Bismarck's victories over Denmark, Austria, and France on the nineteenth-century, the German public had placed supreme confidence in the German Army and its generals. Defeat on the battlefield was unimaginable, so when the armistice ending World War I was signed on November 11, 1918, millions of Germans believed that only treachery and betrayal could have caused such a catastrophe. This paper explains the reason behind the success of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. The paper asserts that when the Nazi Party was founded in 1920 it took advantage of the belief that the German Army had been betrayed and portrayed itself as the only party that could bring Germany back to a position of superiority.

Abstract
This paper examines how the justification for Nazi programs involving involuntary euthanasia, forced sterilisation, eugenics and human experimentation were strongly influenced by views about human dignity. It looks at how the historical development of these views should be examined today because discussions of human worth and value are integral to medical ethics and bioethics. It discusses how social Darwinism was foremost amongst the philosophies impacting views of human dignity in the decades leading up to Nazi power in Germany and how Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory was quickly applied to human beings and social structure.

From the Paper
"Social Darwinism was foremost amongst the philosophies impacting views of human dignity in the decades leading up to Nazi power in Germany. Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory was quickly applied to human beings and social structure. The term 'survival of the fittest' was coined and seen to be applicable to humans. Belief in the inherent dignity of all humans was rejected by social Darwinists. Influential authors of the day proclaimed that an individual's worth and value were to be determined functionally and materialistically. The popularity of such views ideologically prepared German doctors and nurses to accept Nazi social policies promoting survival of only the fittest humans. A historical survey reveals five general presuppositions that strongly impacted medical ethics in the Nazi era. These same five beliefs are being promoted in different ways in contemporary bioethical discourse. "

Abstract
This paper examines and describes the focus of National Socialism on anti-Semitism and the Nazis' hatred of the Jews. It addresses how the Nazis tried to prove that anti-Semitism responded to Germany's problems, how the Nazis justified the persecution of the Jews, and what Hitler's personal role was in all of this?
From the Paper
"Anti-Semitism is probably one of the most infamous platforms of Hitler and his Nazis, and the Holocaust was its horrific instrument of destruction. While anti-Semitism was not the only plank in Hitler's Nazi platform, it was an important part of his theology, and appealed to the German people for a variety of reasons. Many authors are not surprised so many Germans found this view "admirable," as they were searching for a way to blame someone else for their failures, and Hitler's ideas were the perfect solution to their search. After the First World War, Germany was a defeated and depressed nation."

Using Nazi Unethical Science, 2006.
This paper discusses the ethical question of using the medical information conducted by racist Nazi Germany.

Abstract
This paper explains that the ethicacy question is, that, although the means by which the science conducted during World War II by Nazi Germany is now considered unethical, the data produced is valid and should be available for analysis because the Nazi research, which was derived from human experiments, offers an unprecedented authenticity. The author points out that some people argue that, since the unethical crime had already been committed, the data should be used because its scientific merit is irrelevant to the manner in which it was obtained; whereas, others contend that the use of the tainted data is morally degrading to the victims of the Nazi-sponsored science. The paper concludes that this data should be used to improve the quality of human life only after paying respect to the victims and prolonging the memory of these events.
From the Paper
"The Nazi sponsored science encompassed a wide range of fields. Research on diseases such as malaria, gangrene, sulfanilamide, tuberculosis, and wound and poison effects were heavily pursued. Josef Mengele, a scientist, worked closely with twins, as he would often infect one with a deadly disease, and upon the arrival of death, murder the other and compare the organs of the twins. Many medical experiments were conducted to try and improve the survival of German pilots in the Luftwaffe (air force). These tests included prisoners being subjected to high heat, high-pressure as well as low pressure, and freezing mixtures. Often the inmates were tested "until they expired." The particular scientific endeavor that I will be focusing on is the Dachau hypothermia experiments led by Sigmund Rascher. The experiments were designed to find the most effective order in which to re-heat pilots who had crashed in the North Sea."

Abstract
This paper is about the Weimar Republic of Germany, Nazism, oppression, censorship, and the arts. It looks at pro-Nazi artists, anti-Nazi artists, and artwork that was banned during the Nazi regime of Germany. Specific works are highlighted to demonstrate what censorship meant during the Weimar Republic of Germany and how it was handled.
From the Paper
"When talking about people's response to what was happening in the changing society of Germany, one can't ignore the fact that people supported Hitler and the Third Reich. Just as some artists rebelled against the artistic norm and became part of the Dada movement, some went on to support Hitler and presented Germany with works of art that idolized the utopian society and everything that Hitler had fought for. Propaganda in Nazi Germany was running out of control. Propaganda is the art of persuasion. In order to be popular, governmentally in this case, a crowd is needed to be won over."

Abstract
The paper talks about the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazi party. The paper discusses the Nazi form of government, culture and economy and explores Hitler's views concerning the master race, the elite Aryans. The paper explains how this led to the genocide of Jews and other minority groups. This is known as the Holocaust, considered the greatest crime against humanity in history. The paper explains that the Holocaust was made possible by the total control of the totalitarian regime of the Nazi Party, the passive consent of the majority of the German population, a collaboration of regimes with similar views and deeply rooted anti-Semitism among Christian countries in Europe.

From the Paper
"Adolph Hitler was an Austrian soldier in the German army, who attended the meetings of the then small Nazi Party in Munich (Suffolk Community College Department 2006). Through his magnetic speeches, Hitler won the admiration of the other soldiers and attracted new members to the Party. He came to be viewed as essential to the movement and he used that sentiment to maneuver himself into its leadership. As the leader, he managed to demand and receive the complete subservience of the Party members. Hitler was described as a fanatical soldier who held racist, anti-Semitic and authoritarian views (Suffolk Community College Department)."

Abstract
This paper describes Nazi Germany's prejudice towards the Roma people, or Gypsies, pointing out that this prejudice has historical roots throughout Europe, and describes Nazi Germany's systematic attempt to exterminate the Gypsy race. The paper also examines how the persecution of the Roma during Nazi Germany's reign has been marginalized in history and how this is yet another form of marginalization that negatively affects the Roma people.
From the Paper
"When most people think of the atrocities of World War II they conceptualize the ethnic cleansing of the Jews from Nazi controlled Europe. Yet, within the context of ethnic cleansing there are also other cultures that were persecuted and killed by the Nazi regime. According to the American Heritage Dictionary the definition of Holocaust is: "The genocide of European Jews and others by the Nazis during World War II." Yet, it is left to the individual with continued ability and interest to find out just who the "others" were. "Soviet prisoners of war, homosexuals, foreign forced and slave laborers, Poles, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma (Gypsies), and people in conquered lands. " Also in this group are those unclassified individuals such as, the poor, beggars, criminals and simply the unemployed, who are given no voice or recognition in history."
