Dr. Josef Mengele was probably the most infamous Nazi doctor of the Holocaust, known as the notorious “Angel of Death”. He is responsible for the death and mutilation of nearly 3,000 inmates at the death camp Auschwitz (Lagnado and Dekel 7). His goal was to create a superior race of perfect Aryans using twins. He believed that if an Aryan woman gave birth to twins, with blond hair and blue eyes, then this goal would be achieved. He used his knowledge of genetics and his power as a Nazi doctor to aid him.
An experiment conducted in 1963 sent shockwaves though the academic community and beyond. Through alarming methods, researcher Stanley Milgram had made advances on the topic of obedience. He was pursuing the idea that a whole nation could fall under the authority and spell of one person, leading to the extermination of another race. He wanted to establish that the blind, sickening obedience during the Holocaust was not just a freak happening, but rather a common phenomenon (Milgram, 1963). The experiments began three months after the start of the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann.
The Germans also murdered other groups, such as Roma, Slavic, and disabled people. Including the six million Jewish people, a total of approximately ten million people were murdered. Many of these people were killed by gas chambers, starvation, or from the workload at concentration camps. About five percent or less were killed by medical experiments. Joseph Mengele was a doctor who took part in these experiments.
It included the fact that Germany was only aloud to have a very small army. To avoid a preemptive attack for trying to spawn an army Hitler grew his army in very small increments; he was however training up thousands of soldiers and having them prepared to be ready for anything. 5, Hitler had many henchmen that helped assist in his reign over Germany but the three worst in my opinion were Josef Mengele (the angel of death), Heinrich Himmler who invented the mass extermination camps and Hermann Goring, whose own great niece had herself sterilized as she didn’t want to pass on the blood of a monster. 6, A lot of people question themselves whether Hitler did ever feel any sorrow for what
There were so many crematoriums during World War II that the Nazis had developed. The Jews were placed in the crematoriums as a way of disposing them. During the holocaust, there were many gruesome types of deaths that the Nazis inflicted upon the Jews. The most common course of action the Nazi Officers took exterminating the Jewish people were the process of using a poisonous gas (Danish page 2). The Nazis used a type of gas labeled Zyklon B.
The holocaust was a horrible and devastating time for everyone all over the world. Millions of people were murdered, tortured, and massacred, all for no reason. But these unfavorable actions preformed by the Germans did not go unpunished. In the dramatic film Judgment at Nuremburg the writer Abbey Mann proves his main argument justice should prevail over patriotism, through his dramatic screen play, and his bold characters. Although the movie is a fictional account, Judgment at Nuremburg is based on a real case called the judges trial, held before the U.S. Military Tribunal.
But not just the Jews were involved in the Holocaust. Those with mental or physical disabilities were sent to a “hospital” were they were told they would be getting cared for but instead they were murdered with lethal injections, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, trade unionists, political opponents, Poles and Soviet prisoners of war were sent to the concentration camps. Hitler wanted a country with a race of Aryan. They had blonde hair and blue eyes; Hitler wanted to get rid of anyone that stood in the way of this happening. Hitler used propaganda to convince the people of Germany that it was the Jews that were the result of all their problems.
The Holocaust The holocaust is systematic, bureaucratic and also a well known historic event. This means it was a mass murder of the Jews. It’s all start in 1933 and ended in 1945 by Adolf Hitler in Germany, Europe. This did not only happen in Germany. It’s also occurred in other parts of Europe that were under the Nazis control.
Because in his great might, he had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death? How could I say to him: blessed be thou, almighty, master of the universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as
It's proven that different people will obey under the right circumstances. In World War II, Hitler's Nazi Armies followed his orders to imprison and persecute not only the Jews, but the homosexuals as well. In 1978, the People's Temple moved from Southern California to Guyana in South America. These people followed their leader Jim Jones. He ordered his followers to administer lethal amounts of cianide to their children, their elders, and ultimately themselves.
