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 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."

Abstract
This paper describes the life of Adolf Hitler from 1913 to 1935, a period in which Hitler rose from utter poverty and obscurity to occupy the upper tier of power in Nazi Germany, and the writing of "Mein Kampf" ("My Struggle"), which is an autobiographic, philosophical and political treatise, penned during his imprisonment in Landsberg Prison. Next, the author presents an explanation of the contents of this book, including topics such as propaganda, the Jews, racial purity, euthanasia, territorial expansion and destiny, and how they influenced Nazi Germany. The paper concludes that, despite all its compositional errors, incoherent ramblings and pseudo-philosophical tenets, "Mein Kampf" was highly responsible for the rise of the Nazi State. Many quotations are included in the paper.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In this example, "folk community" is a reference to common "Aryan" people residing outside of the boundaries of the urban landscape whose contributions as workers, craftsmen, and ordinary laborers amounted to more than 80% of the entire German economy, a group which Hitler considered as the most intelligent and dedicated "Aryans" of the Fatherland with unmixed bloodlines and capable of producing beautiful "Aryan" children with strong bodies, healthy minds, and vigorous spirits akin to the original Germanic tribes as mentioned by Tacitus. Therefore, by choosing this particular group as the foundation for future "Aryan" generations, the "task" is made relatively easy via selecting only those individuals that exhibit the best Germanic traits, much like selecting cattle from a herd for breeding. However, in contrast to this "mechanical task," selecting individuals from the masses who possess "the highest intellectual and spiritual characteristics" can only be done by observing which individuals manage to excel in their various occupations and societal roles which overall benefits the Fatherland the most. This "ideal" is very closely related to Social Darwinism or the "survival of the fittest" within a competitive arena, where the struggle of everyday life inexorably separates the fit from the unfit.
"Many scholars and historians agree that Hitler's eugenics program began after the passage of the compulsory sterilization laws of July 14, 1933, the exact same day when
Hitler proclaimed a ban on all political parties except for the Nazi Party, the so-called "Day of the Awakened Nation" and the one hundredth and forty-fourth anniversary of the storming of the Bastille which brought about the French Revolution of 1789."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and works of Karl Marx and Max Weber, highlighting their contributions to sociology. The paper describes the similarities and differences in the philosophy of each man and hypothesizes regarding what they would have thought about Nazi Germany. The paper contends that both the thinkers felt that the key to understanding human nature was that of understanding human actions and these actions were based on social and structural changes. This may explain their feelings on Nazi Germany and the atrocities committed by Hitler, where his actions can only be understood as a part of the social and structural changes of himself as an individual, as well as of himself as he belongs to a society.

From the Paper
"Max Weber, born in 1864, is one of the best-known and most popular scholars of 'sociology', as well as of 'economic work'. One of his best contributions to the cause of economics as well as to sociology is his work entitled "Vertstehen" or what is also known as the theory of 'Interpretative Sociology' and his thinking on 'positivism'. Weber's theory of Verstehen is often seen as being very controversial and questionable. His view is that any research that is connected to history or sociology or economics must be approached with a particular idea or concept, or what is called a 'conceptual apparatus'. This apparatus was referred to be Weber as the 'ideal type', meaning that when an individual needs to understand or comprehend a particular sociological phenomenon, the various 'actions' of the different participants of the phenomena, and not stop at merely describing the phenomenon in itself. (Max Weber, 1864-1920) "

Abstract
Often, little attention is paid to the suffering of various ethnic minorities during the Holocaust. This paper explores the Nazi-inflicted persecution of black people, and compares that treatment to the persecution of the Jewish people. The researcher hypothesizes that blacks in Germany were actually treated worse than Jews, in proportion to their respective populations. Included are personal accounts of Holocaust survivors and illustrations of Nazi propaganda directed against black and Jewish people.

"This leads into Weber's theory of Social Stratification. The control and power that the Nazis possessed allowed them to exercise their power over minorities, as the Nazi party had become the highest class in Germany, in all aspects. The Nazi party suddenly became politically, economically, and socially superior than any other group in Germany. This complete power of their new Class standing enabled them to control all aspects of German life, and allowed them to determine what was to be done with those of a lower class; in this case, all non-Aryan minority groups."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Many of these children taken from their homes and to various institutions and prisons were murdered. The Nazi's were "expert at the creation of power groups that robbed their opposition of public voice or power. A small tightly knit group of university medical scientists and psychiatrists, who planned and administered the euthanasia killings, dominated university departments, wrote and reviewed articles for one another's journal and never bothered to consult their colleagues." (Sogow, nd) However, there were less than 200 doctors acting as willing participants in medical crimes although hundreds were away of what was occurring in Germany."

Abstract
This paper examines how many critics and theorists have speculated about the reasons behind fascism and the horror of the holocaust in Nazi Germany before and during the Second World War, how violence was prevalent, and how Hitler used it to alternately intimidate and incite his followers. It attempts to determine the roots of these causes by examining the historical and social context that made Germany so ripe for fascism and dictatorship by 1933.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The German political structure in World War I (from 1916) had been subordinate to the military. At this time the country was an Empire, ruled by the Oberste Heeresleitung (OHL), or the Supreme Army Command. The Chief of Staff at this time was Paul von Hindenburg. At the end of the War the OHL installed a civil government for the benefit of the remainder of Germany after the war. The 1971 constitution was then amended. The Reich (Empire) had become a parliamentary democracy. The Parliament, or the Reichstag, instead of the Emperor, was now responsible for the political welfare of Germany. Such welfare was almost unattainable however, as the end of war meant returning soldiers. The fact that many of these soldiers were wounded both physically and psychologically brought chaos to the German society."

From the Paper
"George Orwell has been a major contributor to anticommunist literature around the World War II period. Orwell lived in England during World War II, a time when the Totalitarianism State, Nazi Germany, was at war with England and destroyed the city of London. "I know that building" said Winston finally. "It's a ruin now. It's in the middle of the street outside the Palace of Justice. That's right. Outside the Law Courts. It was bombed in-oh many years ago.'" (Orwell 83). The main character's being reflects Orwell's own life experiences as a citizen in war torn England and how he uses this in 1984. George Orwell is famous for two major novels, which attack totalitarianism. The first is Animal Farm a satire describing the leaders of the Soviet Union as animals on an animal farm. The second novel is 1984 a story of dictators who are in complete control of a large part of the world after the Allies lost in World War II. The government in this novel gives no freedoms to its citizens. They live in fear because they are afraid of having bad thoughts about the government of Oceania, a crime punishable by death. By employing literary devices such as diction, foreshadowing, and symbolism, Orwell composes a novel "1984" which proves to be a gem in Orwell's collection of novels against totalitarianism."

Abstract
This essay examines the role of women and motherhood during the 1930?s, when the Nazi regime took over Germany. It takes a hard look at the views and opinions about women by the leaders of the Nazi regime.

From the Paper
"The Nazi regime's views of what a woman's role should be and what they actually were, were very different. A woman's place was in the home, looking after her husband, her home, and most importantly, her children. The Nazi ideology saw women as inferior to men, a woman should be at home and having children, "Kinder, Kirche, Kuche". Goebbels said "a woman's primary, rightful, and appropriate place is in the family, and the most wonderful task that she can perform is to present her country and people with children."[i] The image of marriage and motherhood was sold not only as a benefit to the individual and family but also an obligation to the state. The regime believed in this so much that women could apply for marriage loans, where a woman who was getting married could apply for a marriage loan, on the proviso that she left the job market. "
