"Occupied Warsaw, Summer 1940: Witold Pilecki, a Polish underground operative, accepted a mission to uncover the fate of thousands interned at a new concentration camp, report on Nazi crimes, raise a secret army, and stage an uprising. The name of the camp--Auschwitz. Over the next two and half years, and under the cruelest of conditions, Pilecki's underground sabotaged facilities, assassinated Nazi officers, and gathered evidence of terrifying abuse and mass murder. But as he pieced together the horrifying Nazi plans to exterminate Europe's Jews, Pilecki realized he would have to risk his men, his life, and his family to warn the West before all was lost. To do so meant attempting the impossible--but first he would have to escape from Auschwitz itself"--

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Länder - Zeitalter Weltkriege, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Deutschland ist das Land, welches durch den zweiten Weltkrieg wahrscheinlich stärker geprägt wurde, als jedes andere. Bekannt sind vor allem die Verbrechen, die während des 2. Weltkriegs begangen worden sind und die Zerstörung, die der Krieg mit sich brachte. Die Vernichtungsfeldzüge, die schrecklichen Genozide, die Grausamkeiten der Nazis und die riesigen Zahlen gefallener Soldaten. Doch das sind nur einige Aspekte des Krieges und der Zeit des NS-Regimes. In dieser Arbeit soll es um die Hintergründe gehen, genauer um die Veränderung in der Wirtschaft während des Machtwechsels und während des Krieges sowie um den wirtschaftlichen Aspekt der zunehmenden Ausgrenzung und Enteignung der Juden. Was waren die Gründe für Hitlers wirtschaftlichen Erfolg bzw. hatte Hitler überhaupt einen realen wirtschaftlichen Erfolg? Inwiefern hängen seine Weltanschauung und sein politisches Konzept mit der fast vollkommenen Einstampfung der Arbeitslosigkeit zusammen? Hat die NS-Wirtschaft tatsächlich die Weltwirtschaftskrise überwunden?
Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - Deutschland - Nationalsozialismus, II. Weltkrieg, Note: 2,0, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Vor dem 1. Januar 2016 war der Neudruck Adolf Hitlers Autobiographie ,,Mein Kampf'' unzulässig. Das Werk wurde als gefährlich eingestuft und als Hetzschrift betitelt. Diese stilistisch-historische Untersuchung soll herausstellen, ob es sich bei jenem Werk tatsächlich um eine Hetzschrift handelt. Unter Betrachtung von rhetorischen Stilmitteln, Stilisierungen und Verleumdungen in Hitlers Mein Kampf soll diese Frage geklärt werden. Zusätzlich bietet die Arbeit einen Blick in den Werdegang Hitlers und informiert über den Inhalt seines Werkes in kritischer Weise.
