brings up thoughts of a world that is completely
connected on each continent by telephone, media,

a part of everyday life only recently. Although

century, it has become more closely connected.

Hitler Came To Power Anti Semitism
1,484 words
Anti-Semitism was widespread in Europe at the time
Hitler came to power. Much of this anti-Semitism
was rooted, first, in religious beliefs that arose
more than 1500 years before Hitler came to power,
and second, on political beliefs, often cynically
exploited for political gain. Though it was not
accepted by everyone, this existing anti-Semitism
was common and provided a receptive audience for
Hitler's anti-Semitic claims. Hitler did not just
exploit the existing anti-Semitism in Germany; he

Born: Clermont-Ferrand, 19 June 1623 Pascal's
ancestors were rich merchants that attained the
highest ranks of the burgess class. His father,
Etienne, was a royal tax officer and a member of
the petit noblesse. Although there is no explicit
word about the financial status of the father,
that ancestry of rich merchants, together with all
the circumstances of Pascal's life, seem clearly
to state that he grew up in wealthy circumstances.
Pascal appears to have had no formal education. As

worked each year for their landlords. Many died,
many immigrated to other nations but those who
stayed cried out for security. In the years
