HW 4

The article from the Associated Press shares a few key themes with rise and rule of single-party state leaders. The article uses emotionally charged images, of the opening of a WWII memorial in Poland, to invoke people's sympathy. Such a tactic was used by Hitler to gain power prior to his election as Chancellor. Hitler manipulated the emotions of the people in the form on anti-Semitism in order to rally them behind his cause and make him seem like Germany's last saving grace. The article goes on to mention the methods of forced used in Germany's invasion of Poland. Death camps and artillery shelling we just a couple of the methods Hitler used when the invasion began. The rest of the article is hard to judge because no information is given as to the author of the article.
