Hitler's passionate hatred of the Jewish people led to the darkest period in history, the Holocaust. Millions of innocent people became victims at the hands of Hitler, Ellie Wiesel was one among many. Wiesel, a famous Holocaust survivor, wrote about his experience as a prisoner at Auschwitz. He endured several years of physical and mental torment. While a prisoner, he questioned his faith in God, exclaiming, "I trust Hitler more than anyone else." He is the only one who kept his promises” (Wiesel 77). As leader of Germany, Hitler took it upon himself to attack the Jewish population, which made him sadly unforgettable. Adolf Hitler was Germany's worst leader because he placed millions of people in inhumane situations, sentenced millions to death, and left his country in ruins. Hitler was Germany's worst leader because he placed millions of people in inhumane situations. As Hitler began to conquer Europe, he began to segregate his country's citizens. Hitler believed that the Aryan race was the purest and wanted to eliminate all other races, especially the Jews. He began by placing Jews in ghettos. The ghettos were described as “a life of misery, hunger, disease, and despair” (Bard 60). Ghetto residents were devastated at being forced from the comfort of their homes and placed in appalling living conditions. Ghettos were known as “a place of slave labor…in other cases, Jewish slave labor had no recognizable goal other than dehumanization” (Bard 60-61). The Jewish people were stripped of their morale and spirit. Hitler wanted to break them emotionally. Once in the ghettos, Jews were not allowed to practice any religious beliefs. The Jews of Rawa were forced to cut their beards; Rabbi...... middle of paper ...... Jews. Concentration camps were a source of distraction for Hitler. He was facing a massive war at the time and should have devoted all his energy and resources to it. He ultimately lost and committed suicide, leaving behind a mess for his country to deal with. Hitler was a selfish leader whose greed and lust for power took precedence over the needs and well-being of his country and people, making him Germany's worst leader.
