Hitler's passionate hatred of the Jewish people led to the darkest period in history, the Holocaust. Millions of innocent people become victims at the hands of Hitler, Ellie Wiesel, was one of many. Wiesel, a famous Holocaust survivor, wrote about his experience as a prisoner in Auschwitz. He endured several years of physical and mental torment. During his time as a prisoner he questioned his faith in God, exclaiming: “I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He is the only one who kept his promises” (Wiesel 77). As the leader of Germany, Hitler took it upon himself to attack the Jewish population, making him sadly unforgettable. Adolf Hitler was the worst leader of Germany because he put millions of people in inhumane situations, sentenced millions to death and left his country in ruins. Hitler was the worst leader of Germany because he put millions of people in inhumane situations. When Hitler began to conquer Europe, he began to segregate the citizens of his country. Hitler believed that the Aryan race was the purest and wanted to eliminate every other race, especially the Jews. He began by placing Jews in ghettos. Ghettos were described as “a life of squalor, hunger, disease, and desperation” (Bard 60). The people of the ghettos were devastated to be forced from the comforts of their homes and placed in horrible living conditions. Ghettos were known as “a place for slave labor… in other cases, Jewish slave labor had no discernible purpose other than dehumanization” (Bardo 60-61). The Jewish people were deprived of their morals and their spirit. Hitler wanted to break them down emotionally. Once in the ghettos, Jews were not allowed to practice any religious beliefs. The Jews of Rawa were forced to shave their beards; Rabbi......middle of paper......Jews. The concentration camps were a source of distraction for Hitler. He was dealing with a huge war at the time and would have to put all his energy and resources into it. In the end he lost and killed himself, leaving behind a mess for his country to deal with. Hitler was a selfish ruler whose greed and lust for power took precedence over the needs and well-being of his country and his people, making him Germany's worst leader.
