erginhoca.com – YDS Reading Vocabulary Test 54: Adolf Hitler
Anti-Semitism in Europe did not begin with Adolf
Hitler. Though use of the term itself dates only to
the 1870s, there is evidence of hostility toward
Jews long before the Holocaust–even as far back
as the ancient world, when Roman authorities
destroyed the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and
forced Jews to leave Palestine. The roots of
Hitler’s particularly virulent brand of anti-Semitism
are unclear. Born in Austria in 1889, he served in
the German army during World War I. Like many
anti-Semites in Germany, he blamed the Jews for
the country’s defeat in 1918. Soon after the war
ended, Hitler joined the the National Socialist
German Workers’ Party, known to English
speakers as the Nazis. While imprisoned for
treason for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch of
1923, Hitler wrote the memoir and propaganda
tract Mein Kampf, in which he predicted a general
European war that would result in the
extermination of the Jewish race in Germany. He
was obsessed with the idea of the superiority of
the pure German race, which he called Aryan,
and with the need for living space for that race to
expand. In the decade after he was released from
prison, Hitler took advantage of the weakness of
his rivals to enhance his party’s status and rise
from obscurity to power. After President Paul von
Hindenburg’s death in 1934, Hitler declared
himself as Fuhrer, becoming Germany’s supreme
ruler.

Türkçe Çeviri
Avrupa’da Yahudi karşıtlığı Adolf Hitler ile başlamadı.
Terimin kullanımı sadece 1970lere dayansa da, Roma
otoritelerinin Kudüs’teki Yahudi tapınağını yıkıp
Yahudileri Filistin’den ayrılmaya zorladığı antik
dünyaya kadar gidilirse, soykırımdan çok önce bile
Yahudilere karşı düşmalığın kanıtları vardır.
Yahudiliğe karşı Hitler’in düşmanca yaklaşımının
kökleri belli değildir. 1889’da Avusturya’da
doğduğundan 1. Dünya Savaşı boyunca Alman
ordusuna hizmet etmiştir. Bir çok Yahudi düşmanı gibi,
ülkenin 1918’deki yenilgisi için Yahudileri suçlamıştır.
Savaş bittikten kısa bir süre sonra, Hitler İngilizce
konuşan kişilerce Naziler olarak bilinen Nasyonel
Sosyalist Alman işçilerin partisine katıldı. 1923’deki
Beer Hall ayaklanmasındaki rolü yüzünden vatana
ihanet sebebiyle hapsedilmişken, içinde Almanya’da
Yahudi ırkının yok edilmesine yol açacak genel bir
Avrupa savaşını tahmin ettiği anı ve propaganda kitabı
olan Mein Kampf’I yazmıştır. Aryan adını verdiği ari
Alman ırkının üstünlüğü fikri ve bu ırkın genişlemesi
için yaşam alanı gereksinimine takıntısı vardı.
Hapishaneden serbest bırakıldığı dönem içerisinde,
Hitler partisinin statüsünü güçlendirmek ve belirsizlik
iktidara yükselmek için rakiplerinin zaaflarından
faydalandı. Cumhurbaşkanı Hinderburg’un 1934’deki
ölümünden sonra kendisini Führer ilan etti, ve ülkenin
ulu önderi oldu.
