Abstract
This paper explains that there are a number of factors that led to the Nazi seizure of power. The paper examines the events leading up to the Nazi party's victory, including: the democratic Weimar Republic had always governed on shaky ground; the Depression of 1929 only gave opposition parties more force with which to crush it and create an authoritarian state. The paper then explores the methods used by Hitler to take advantage of the current situation and gain control of the government. Finally the paper looks at Hitler?s extraordinary use of propaganda to further destroy democracy and sway the disorientated masses toward the Right.
From the Paper
"Through the use of unprecedented political exploitation, the Nazis were able to seize power in a country shattered by the failure of democracy and in the depths of a national crisis. The deep-seated weaknesses of the Weimar Republic were easily exploited in plunging the country into political crisis, and the Depression provided an essential backdrop for the radicalisation of the people toward extremist fringe parties. Hitler?s clever political manoeuvres both before and after 1929, which included joining the force against the Young Plan, and redirecting his energies toward rural Germany, combined with his unprecedented use of propaganda, however, proved to be the most essential factors in establishing the political force of the Nazis."

Abstract
This paper examines the history of anti-Semitism in Europe during the 19th century. The paper explores the similarities between the anti-Semitic prejudices that engulfed France and Russia in the late nineteenth century and then shows how in France, anti-Semitism was largely a right-wing Catholic movement, peppered with socialist support in the aftermath capitalistic change. The paper also provides a broad definition of anti-Semitism in general.
From the Paper
"Anti-Semitism is not an ?identical phenomenon? similar to all countries, but rather based on individual national histories. The anti-Semitic prejudices that emerged in France and Russia in the late nineteenth century were both preceded by defeat in war, economic instability, and political change; circumstances exploited by the Judeo-phobic press and literature. However, while French anti-Semitism was derived from traditional religious dogmatism, and encouraged by the potent political force of anti-Republican Catholicism, the Russian experience was based on an ideological imperialism that was promoted by the government, and common to all ?true? Russians."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Dante's "Inferno" and Elie Wiesel's "Night" might seem like two disparate pieces of literature, but the author finds that three main themes unify them. The paper shows how both the characters undergo a long, arduous journey, as told in the first person. The narrations also tell of how they persevered through these hard times. Finally, they tell of how it wasn't necessarily what they did that led to their journey; it was what they didn't do.
From the Paper
"Night by Elie Wiesel and Inferno by Dante Aligheri can both be described as a journey through Hell. In their own ways, these two pieces of literature involve the main character?s trials and tribulations as they go through an unforeseen situation and how their perseverance ultimately leads them away from certain damnation. The further along they progress, there are many factors that would make the average person succumb to their own fate, but they remain faithful that they will make their way through. The three foremost parallels in Night and Inferno are the main characters journey through hell, the repercussions of not being proactive, and how determination is chief in the quest for freedom."

Abstract
This undergraduate level paper discusses the issue of whether or not it is possible to be a Judeo - Christian dialogue given the events that took place during the holocaust. Using selections from "After Auschwitz" by Richard Rubinstein, and "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the paper determines that though Christian complicity did not help the Jewish cause during the Nazi era, the events of the past cannot necessarily dictate the dialogues of the future.

Holocaust Denial, 2002.
An argument against Holocaust denial.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This thesis argues that Holocaust denial is simply the craving for another Holocaust. It is a craving that basically pursues its objective via different tactics. The author feels that by erasing memory and employing moral relativism, combined with the same anti-Semitic caricatures that led to the Holocaust, holocaust denial institutes a certain social and political mind-set which, in turn, can facilitate the possibility of yet another Holocaust. In order to understand what Holocaust denial is about, it is mandatory to understand what the Holocaust was and why it came about. This essay examines both the Holocaust and the phenomenon of subsequent efforts to deny its historical reality.

Abstract
This paper will cover the issues that envelope Germany in the past, as well as the future that it holds to achieve in its nationhood. By understanding the levels of this political climate and the cultural changes that it has been going through, we can compare other societies such as the United States and Canada as examples of how a nation can grow and change. In the Jewish situation that has been such a large part of German history, we can seek to understand its past with anti-semitism and seek to understand how we can avoid these problems in the United States and in Canada.

Abstract
This paper will argue that the Holocaust - and more specifically what the Germans have learned from it - are both relevant and useful to other societies such as Canada. While there are, of course, numerous lessons that have been drawn from the experience, it may be argued that one lesson the Germans have learned is particularly relevant to other societies: the importance of memory.
