However I do not agree that Hitler alone was responsible for the Holocaust as there was other people to it and some people could of refused and fought back such as Britain and France as they knew something was happening and also the SS because Hitler would have been nothing without them, they was the ones who scared people into thinking Hitler was right they was the people that made Hitler look so desirable, everyone did there bit in the Holocaust and if they didn’t then there could have been a chance of it not
Arendt actually points out that in the Nuremburg documents, no account of murder for not fulfilling orders was ever documented (p92). Eichmann thought that not carrying out the orders of his Fuhrer was “unthinkable” and not “admirable”. The fact is, he was driven by idea of being part of something great, as a high ranking officer of the Nazi party, even at the cost of what he was doing. If he did not want to facilitate in the extermination, he could have simply applied for a transfer, as was suggested by Eric von dem Bach-Zelewski, but he did not
Hindsight. A bias only gifted to those who have the pleasure of standing on the sidelines or those who specialize in criticizing the actions of others in dire times of the past, while they themselves stand in the relative safety of the present. Every person is subject to hindsight and such treatment can ruin careers and the historic impression one leaves. Case example: Hiroshima. Many criticize the US Military’s bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, yet those same individuals are often civilians who have a general disliking of war and consequently are misinformed to the point of extreme partisan bias.
It is difficult to point fingers at just those who were considered perpetrators, because the relationship between the general population including onlookers, bystanders, those who unintentionally contributed, and those who lacked interest in getting “involved”, and that of the victims was complex to say the least. Perpetrators, Nazis, Gestapo, SS officers, Einsatzgruppen, and anyone willing to kill by influence of the Third Reich and Hitler’s Regime left Europe with victims, scarred beings that may never be able to recover from the tragedies that took place during World War II. The holocaust was enacted without thoughts of future forgiveness. However that is not to say every man or woman involved in the killings were serial killers, or crazed murderers. The relationship to that of the victims were not easily divided.
I do not believe the way the director portrayed Max Baer was unethical. I believe this is unfair, I think this is because of how they portray his true feelings in inaccurate. This is unethical because in this film Max comes across as a mean and cold hearted man. He is not mean and cold hearted as he suffered just as much as anyone else after the tragic in ring death. People did not feel for
Throughout 1915, World War I was beginning and the majority of these countries were involved. Another crucial factor was the lack of awareness of what was going on; this was before communications technology was thoroughly developed. Many eyewitness accounts reached Germany, USA, Great Britain and other countries. But few accounts were made available to the general public. Germany, the only country who could have influenced the Ottoman Empire to stop the massacres, did not want to lose such an important strategic partner, so they made the decision to ignore the attacks and go on as if all was well.
There is no transgression that merits such punishment... and it cannot be attributed to sin." Discussion – Against During the Holocaust, the European society has shown hostility and indifference towards the hunt down on the Jews. Most of the society has watched their neighbors being taken away, attacked, robbed or hurt, and didn't react at all, even before the Nazism started to get worse, they were living next to Jews. Because of the pressure that society had and all the immorality it showed, it wasn't easy to try and help the
America had none of these at the time and therefore nothing in common with governments going into a communist society. This article ties into the movie in my opinion about talking about the paranoia of people even if right to a certain extent. L.B. Jeffries had somewhat of a right to be suspicious of Lars Thorwald in The Rear Window because he noticed something wasn’t right about how his wife mysteriously disappeared but took a wild guess and accused Thorwald of killing her with nothing but a guess. The United States on the other hand had communism taking over in other countries and feared it because of the Red Scare and McCarthyism even though the U.S. was a superior super power by this
A lot of Jews lost their lives during those years, some survived with scars that will never heal. But some people, despite the great amount of witnesses, ignore them and claim their information as false. By reading the information that the deniers of the Holocaust provide for people, it is easily noticeable that the deniers are racist toward Jews. It is why the people that deny the Holocaust will continue to deny it no matter how much proof is going to be provided. 1Works Cited Criticism of Holocaust Denial.
The Jewish culture was taken out of the society by taking them to concentration camp where they would be murdered. People knew about these camps all around the world, yet nobody stepped up tp do anything about it. Until the allied forces were successful in defeating Germany the concentration camps kept killing. I believe other cultures were practicing typical ethnocentrism as well. Most of the world were Christian and looked down on the Jews.
