Question

hitler states: taking into account of the jewish peril, which has certainly been recognized by present - day leaders - proof of this is the various statements of present leading figures - they are compelled to accept the canons not only in giving the jews every possible encouragement, but above all in hampering the struggle of the doped nation against their brother jews - in the neutralizing of the anti - semitic movement. this means: leaders fail to confront the danger posed by jews because they need their support. this harms the nation by weakening the struggle for anti - semitism. the facts: hitler argues as if there is a \jewish peril,\ taking the term from the book, the protocols of the learned elders of zion, about a supposed jewish plot to take over the world. the book, compiled in the early 1900s by the czarist secret police and published under different titles, was proven to be a noxious forgery. even the czar of russia, for whom the protocols were written, said they were fraudulent. note, hitler does not name any of the \present - day leaders\ who supposedly recognize the so - called jewish peril, because no world leader would come out with such a statement. like the protocols, hitler argues against the concept of democracy and the will of the people. hitler had no regard for the common man, believing he is too foolish and naive to elect his own leaders. using your ethos, pathos, logos handout, decide which forms of persuasion is hitler using in this text? support your claim from the text. each section of text may have multiple forms of persuasion, so identify as many as you can, giving proof of each. ethos, pathos, or logos? support your claim from hitlers letter

Explanation:

Ethos refers to an appeal to ethics, pathos to an appeal to emotion, and logos to an appeal to logic. Hitler uses false - logic (logos) by baselessly claiming a "Jewish peril" and by using a forged source (The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion) as evidence. He doesn't use legitimate ethos as his claims are unfounded and immoral, and while there may be some attempts to stir up fear (pathos) among the population about the supposed Jewish threat, the main fallacy is in his false - logical arguments.

Answer:

Logos. Hitler uses false and forged evidence to make his claims about the "Jewish peril", which is a misuse of logical persuasion.
