That’s what the wisdom of history teaches us. And Adolph Hitler was surely the greatest enemy ever faced by modern civilization. Over half a century later, the horror and fascination still linger. No one is better able to explain the unexplainable about this man and his movement than professor Thomas Childers. With these lectures, you will see what great teaching is all about. As the Student Course Evaluations at the University of Pennsylvania put it: "Words do not seem adequate to describe Professor Childers." Two Crucial Questions Professor Childers has designed this course to answer two burning questions that have nagged mankind ever since Hitler and Nazism were destroyed.--- 1) How could a man like Adolf Hitler and a movement like Nazism come to power in, of all places, 20th-century Germany? After all, this was a highly educated, industrially developed country at the very heart of Western Europe. 2) How were the Nazis able to establish the foundations of a totalitarian regime in such a short time and hurl all of Europe—and the world—into a devastating war that would consume so many millions of lives? And the answers lead us to other questions: Who voted for the Nazis and why? How did the Nazis campaign? What did they seem to stand for? Why was there apparently so little resistance? What made the regime popular at home? How were the Nazis able to seize control of the press, the radio, the courts, and police with so little trouble? Can it happen again? What must we do to make sure that it doesn’t? How did it all begin? You start by exploring the catastrophic impact of World War I on Germany and how the war and the humiliating Treaty of Versailles crippled the Weimar Republic. The Repercussions of the Versailles Treaty in Germany Until the very end of World War I, despite enormous casualties in trench warfare and great sacrifices on the home front, Germany had appeared to be winning. Then, in November 1918, the roof suddenly caved in. Inexplicably to many Germans, Germany had lost the war! The new democratic government, the Weimar Republic, was forced by the victorious Allies to sign a humiliating treaty and begin its political life carrying a staggering burden. You learn: how this widened divisions already present in German society how it created the setting in which extreme nationalist movements could thrive. Then you examine short-term factors that help explain Hitler’s rise to power: the grave economic problems confronting the Weimar government upon which Hitler and his minions fed: the chaotic hyperinflation of 1923, the harsh stabilization of 1924, and the Great Depression the deep cleavages—religious divisions, lingering regional loyalties, and growing social or class tension—that made nation-building in the new Germany so difficult how the Nazis used innovative modern campaign techniques to exploit the economic hardship of the day: here is the first use in politics of exit polls, radio appeal, and use of aircraft by the candidate just which German voters found the Nazis appealing, and why. Hitler in Power: The Third Reich The second half of the course deals with Nazism in power, the Third Reich. These lectures answer the question of how President Hindenburg came to name Hitler as chancellor in January 1933, at a time when Nazi appeal was waning. And they show how Hitler and his henchmen began systematically and ruthlessly breaking resistance, taking over the major institutions of state power and creating a totalitarian system of terror, propaganda, and pervasive regimentation. Hitler’s Wars: Why and How? By 1935, with power now firmly in Nazi hands, the ideological core of the National Socialist movement began to reveal itself. Professor Childers anatomizes Hitler’s horrifying racial ideas and the policies adopted to transform those ideas into reality. He describes the Nazis’ mounting repression of the Jewish population and the role of the SS in shaping and enforcing these anti-Semitic policies. Hitler as Global Chess Player Next comes Hitler’s conduct of foreign policy between 1933 and 1939. You see how he outmaneuvered the apprehensive Western European powers and how and why he puzzled the world by entering into an accommodation with his deadly enemy, Stalin, on the eve of World War II. You see why the Munich agreement was such an important turning point, the seeming triumph of National Socialism on the world stage. The "Final Solution" In his closing lectures, Professor Childers focuses on Hitler’s war against the Jews from Mein Kampf to Auschwitz. Hitler’s war was not simply a traditional geopolitical conflict, a grab for land and resources; it was a racial war as well. It is revealed most obviously in the ideological war against the Soviet Union. Hitler saw his enemy as a "Judeo-Bolshevist" conspiracy, which he was called on to eliminate. This meant not only a war of annihilation of the Soviet Union; it also meant the destruction of the European Jewish community. Professor Childers shows how Hitler conducted his war against the Jews to the very end and how, finally after so much death and destruction, his evil empire itself was destroyed by Allied might. "Should I buy Audio or Video?" This course works well in any format. The DVD and videotape versions feature dozens of illustrations, including portraits, photographs, maps, and on-screen graphics. (Note: Given the nature of the course subject, some photographs include graphic depictions of the Nazi period and the Holocaust.)

Post your links to propaganda sites where people care...
you obviously have yet to find actual concentration camp footage... it´s out there.. Go find it.. don´t ask me to do your job for you..
if your REALLY critical .. then you REALLY haveto do some digging, exploring, reading and swallow some pathetic pride..
leaders are not infallible. we´d like to believe they are .. as it comforts us when we place our trust in them. In reality being critical and learned takes alot of energy and time..
i hope one day when you find answers you slap yourself in the face for being so blindly brainwashed that you didn´t think it happened..

Some homework for sam322: you might do a google search with the search terms "conspiracy theory logical fallacy irrational delusion" and see what pops up. After you've familiarized yourself with the basic structures of irrational belief and faulty reasoning, ask yourself why Holocaust denial is any more reasonable than believing that Elvis is alive and well and working at a Burger King in San Antonio.
Note to The Teaching Company: college students never applaud for their professors before class.
