[ send me this essay ]
This 6 page report discusses how Adolf Hitler’s anti-Semitism grew in the two decades preceding World War II and how he used it to inspire the German people.

This paper also discusses how anti-Semitism became more virulent between the publication of “Mein Kampf” and Hitler’s famous speech at the Reichstag in January of 1939. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
