THE PURGE

Adolf Hitler is one of the most well-known—and reviled—figures in history. As the leader of Nazi Germany, he orchestrated both World War II and the Holocaust, events that led to the deaths of at least 40,000,000 people.Hitler went down in history as one of if not the most vile human being of all time,for ordering the loss of countless of lives.I on the other hand solely believe that human beings are responsible for their own actions some may try to justify their actions by claiming they were following orders others may claim to be carrying out the will of a supreme being.A surprising 49 million were registered, 39 million classified and 10 million inducted. Others who were overseas in August 1914 travelled back thousands of miles to get back and enlist .Most would claim they were doing it for money or power but the truth of the matter is most of those soldiers stood to gain nothing from that money or power,most if not all those soldiers simply volunteered plain and simple.At the end of the day the real reason they masaccred all those families stared them right in the face.In hindsight they survived on measly food rations for months underwent all that harsh training,pain and suffering at the barracks to inflict more pain and suffering on other human beings.They knew it in their mind and hearts and they still did it anyways,they did it for nothing.Majority of the Jewish families torched to death during the Holocaust were actually turned in by German families, yes the German families may try to justify their actions by claiming to be following government policies but when its all said and done the government policies were a reflection of their individual fears the insecurity and resentment they felt towards the Jews. Its pathetic what human beings are willing to settle for , for a fleeting sense of security and make no mistake it was fleeting. The truth of the matter is most people want to see cruelty if not inflict it themselves.Which would explain why you are still reading into this synopsis right now . This would explain the existence of extremely cruel torture devices the judas cradle,brazen bull,iron maiden some of them being adopted even by churches regardless of how cruel they were these devices go to show the very cruelness and hopelessness of mankind .Don't get me wrong I love peace but something about it feels lacking . Even if we did actually manage to find a way to eliminate death and chaos from the face of the earth some people would still find ways to bring it back ..In a world that has taught us that having hope is equivalent to giving up. A book that attempts to explain mob logic . A story about humans in their most despicable yet truest form a story about the purge.

What annoyed him most was the hopeful nature of man, the fact that they existed in a century where you could only hope when you were the one in power. The rest were scum.
