Pre Ap World History II

‘Is Eichmann a rotten, soiled and evil man, and were his motivations boring, mundane and obvious?’ Why did Eichmann kill so many Jews if he ‘supposedly’ no real hate or motivation to do it?

Adolf Eichmann was a remorseless perpetrator who conducted the death of an innumerable amount of Jewish people. The information provided in quote one explains what unethical actions Eichmann pursued. Eichmann did his part during the Holocaust by going to different locations in order to massacre them. “Eichmann played his central role in the deportation of over 1.5 million Jews from all over Europe killing centers and killings cities in occupied Poland and in parts of the occupied Soviet Union” (“Adolf Eichmann” ushmm.org.) This quotation from Eichmann’s biography explains what he did to the Jews while serving as a Nazi soldier. He went to the extent of hunting them in different locations like wild animals. Eichmann was aware of his wrong doings, yet he still pursued with all of the Jews’ execution. Therefore, he is nonetheless a

Before the outbreak, of the War Hitler’s record of attendance for meetings were known to be limited. One study shows

The efforts the Nazi party expended on carrying out their ‘final solution to the Jewish question in Europe’ involved changing the structure of a whole country’s economic, social, and military sectors; a mobilisation completed by many various competing and collating departments and agencies, all of which were expected by their superiors to show initiative in their operations. This mode of command lends plausibility to the theory that the ‘final solution’ of the holocaust was not necessarily a result of a direct command by the Führer (No records of any such order exist) but rather the culmination of the departments of the Nazi state vying for approval from their superiors by following the ideology to its ‘logical conclusion’ with Hitler’s approval. This could be seen to support Berghahn, as it was the confusion and rush to meet growing needs that drove the party to extermination over deportation. It also supports Kershaw, who

All empires sought to foster an imperial identity that transcended more local identities and loyalties.

Heydrich asked for new decrees which exclude the Jews from any contact with the Germans them from open transportation, schools, even doctor's facilities, basically driving them into

In the final years of the war, Himmler and Eichmann proposed the concept to place the Jewish people in camps and eliminate the rest of the Jewish people before the war was over; this concept was known as the “Final Solution.” These SS soldiers are the main cause of the Holocaust because they were the group that fully helped consummate Hitler’s idea to remove the Jewish people out of Germany and, in the end, they gave the orders to mass murder any Jew alive.

Once the plane landed Eichmann was immediately put in jail with guards watching him 24 hours a day. Once Eichmann had been identified by a Jewish agency representative Israel announced that they had captured the notorious SS officer. He was soon tried and convicted of 15 counts all having to do with genocide and sentenced to death.

Like hitter the top SS was a group that you volunteered to do, “In either case Himmler found means of enlisting all who volunteered”["The SS Himmler's SchutzStaffel -Www.HolocaustResearchProject.org." The SS Himmler's SchutzStaffel - Www.HolocaustResearchProject.org. Web. 31 Mar. 2015.].The top SS knew everything that was going on with the Holocaust. The officers in the top SS knew about the unfairness and cruelty of the millions of people being murdered every day. They had the freedom to kill who they wanted for the reason they wanted to kill them. They used scare tactics to scare the Jewish people to leave their belongings behind, “The incarceration of around 30,000 German,Austrian, and Sudeten Jews in concentration camps, where hundreds of them died,was intended to accelerate their will to emigrate and reduce their inhibitions about leaving their assets behind.”["SS and the Holocaust." United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. United States Holocaust Memorial Council, 20June 2014. Web. 31 Mar. 2015.].The fact that the top SS had the capability to do something so vile and know what they were doing and choose to do it anyway. The top SS also would test and experiment on the Jews, trying to see if they could change their eye color by adding a dye to the eyes, and other experiments that a mostly ended with the victim dying. The top SS has a big responsibility for the holocaust because of the

Who decided to take the Jews away like they did? His name was Hitler. He thought that the Jews were the main reason for their problem in Germany. What do they do to the Jews? The Jewish people were taken to a camp where they had to work for the soldiers and you have to do everything they say or there were bad things that happen, They had to wear certain clothes which had a star on their clothes to
