Hitler attempted to refine the population in his opinion and was humane according to the dictionary.

In Hitlers opinion he was not refining the population. He was desirous of power and needed a scapegoat to get there. As you can see-He did need somebody to pick on and blame for Germany's fall in order to get the people on his side. The Jews where already considered suspicious because of media (Anti-Semitic broadcasts), books(The Prodigals of the elders of Zion), and celebrity. Many people where jealous of the Jews because of their wealth as well. So you see, it really set the stage for the Jews to be the scapegoat for all this. Hitler knew this, and he used them in order to become powerful in his party, his country, and the world. Here are some passages that represent my claim. 7. AS FOUNDATION FOR A NEW CURRENCY THE PROPERTY OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT OF OUR BLOOD MUST DO SERVICE. If families who have lived in Germany for a thousand years are now expropriated, we must do the same to the Jewish usurers. 8. WE DEMAND IMMEDIATE EXPULSION OF ALL JEWS WHO HAVE ENTERED GERMANY SINCE 1914, and of all those, too, who through trickery on the Stock Exchange or through other shady transactions have gained their wealth. -speech in munich WHAT CAUSE FINALLY HAD AMERICA TO ENTER THE WAR AGAINST GERMANY? WITH THE OUTBREAK OF THE WORLD WAR, WHICH JUDAH HAD DESIRED SO PASSIONATELY AND SO LONG, ALL THE LARGE JEWISH FIRMS OF THE UNITED STATES BEGAN SUPPLYING AMMUNITIONS. They supplied the European 'war-market' to an extent which perhaps even they themselves had never dreamed of - a gigantic harvest! Yet nothing satisfied the insatiable greed of the Jew. And so the venal press which depended upon the Stock Exchange kings began an unparalleled propaganda campaign. A GIGANTIC ORGANIZATION FOR NEWSPAPER LYING WAS BUILT UP. AND ONCE MORE IT IS A JEWISH CONCERN, THE HEARST PRESS, WHICH SET THE TONE OF THE AGITATION AGAINST GERMANY. If he was refining the population why would he slander Jews that where not even in his country? He really needed somebody to blame for Germany's loss in the war, tremendous debt from the treaty of Versailles, and the German's poverty. He blamed the Jews, Homosexuals, gypsies, Christians who helped Jews, whoever he needed to get more and more powerful. Now, some may say that Hitler disliked Jews. So, he was refining the population by killing them off. While it is true that Hitler disliked, more like hated, Jews that does not necessarily mean he thought he was refining the population. Rather he saw it as killing two birds with one stone. He was killing off both his personal enemy's and creating a scapegoat to grow more powerful. He hated Jews, and he wanted to kill them because they where his enemy's, not "for the greater good of Germany" or "to refine the population". Now to the second part of our debate. "Hitler...was humane according to the dictionary.' The definition of 'humane" is "characterized by tenderness, compassion, and sympathy for people and animals, especially for the suffering or distressed 2.acting in a manner that causes the least harm to people or animals Hitler failed in according to both definitions. He was not tender , compassionate, and had no sympathy for people, nor did he act in a manner that causes least harm to people. He and his officials encouraged and sent over 6 million men women and children to their deaths! He encouraged horrible acts. Experimentation(most resulting in death), Gas-Chambers, and other horrible torturous deaths. And that is all. Thank you for our debate. http://dictionary.reference.com... http://propagander2.tripod.com...
