The Giver Moral Disobedience

The Nazi government’s rise to power allowed for wide-spread suffering on both sides of the war. They physically tortured the people they viewed as lower than them, and also caused psychological torture on their victims as well as their own soldiers and citizens. The Nazis obviously physically tortured the Jews and other victims by slaughtering them and conducting atrocious human experiments on them, killing approximately six million Jews. Psychological torture also affected virtually everyone involved in the war. Jews were frequently forced to dispose of the corpses of their fellow victims and help with the gassing; this in some ways could be as torturous as the physical hell they underwent. The image alone of thousands of murdered people

Synopsis – Hitler’s Willing Executioners is a work that may change our understanding of the Holocaust and of Germany during the Nazi period. Daniel Goldhagen has revisited a question that history has come to treat as settled, and his researches have led him to the inescapable conclusion that none of the established answers holds true. Drawing on materials either unexplored or neglected by previous scholars, Goldhagen presents new evidence to show that many beliefs about the killers are fallacies. They were not primarily SS men or Nazi Party members, but perfectly ordinary Germans from all walks of life, men who brutalized and murdered Jews both willingly and zealously. “They acted as they did because of

Throughout the Holocaust torture was used by many Nazis in order to get the Jewish prisoners to do something or give information. Torture has always been an element of Fascism, and Amery argues that “...torture was not an accidental quality of this Third Reich, but its essence”. He continues to even say that if torture were removed from Fascism, there would be nothing left. In Hitler’s Germany, Nazis tortured for information, “but in addition they tortured with good conscience of depravity”, meaning they were aware of the moral corruption it was causing, all in all “they tortured because they were torturers”. Nazis purposefully placed torture in their ways, but became

People may think all human experimentation is ethical and happens under supervised, and controlled conditions with the consent of the person. This wasn’t the case in Nazi Germany. The Nazi’s performed some of the most inhumane, disturbing human experiments documented by man. The Nazi’s saw their extermination camps as a prime place for scientific experiments to advance their military and Nazi racial ideology. Prisoners were forced to participate in the experiments and usually died as an effect. If the subject lived, the results often resulted in trauma, disfigurement, or permanent disability. This happened on a large scale, and affected the lives of many. These experiments were typically aimed toward Jews, but some Romani, Sinti, Soviet prisoners of war, and disabled Germans were involved in these ruthless experiments. It is important to remember these diabolical acts not because of how awful they were, but the technological and medical advancements they posed. If we don’t acknowledge the suffering these people endured, then I feel that they have died in vain.

In Lois Lowry’s The Giver, there is great emphasis put on the concerns about society and humankind. Some of the main themes found throughout the book, as well as other novels by Lowry, all relate back to these concerns.

In the so called Utopia where the main character Jonas resides, sameness takes precedence over uniqueness.

Lois Lowry’s The Giver is a novel that showed how Jonas was saving everyone's lives by not quitting after painful memories that he receives from the

1945. The year when Hitler ordered the mass extermination of the Jews. The number of precious human lives lost was astonishing, and it is morally agreeable that it was an inhumane act. Nonetheless, Hitler’s soldiers were completely unfazed by the consequences of their massacre, choosing to comply with his orders. The big question remains: why did they obey, despite the knowledge that Hitler’s commands were immoral?

The Giver, a young adult fiction novel written by Lois Lowry, tells a story about Jonas, a curious boy trapped in a futuristic society full of contentment, rules, and the elimination of emotions such as fear, hatred, etc. When he begins to see The Giver, an old man who holds all of the past memories of the community, Jonas realizes a dangerous past and becomes the first to begin on a journey to escape the community to protect his loved ones and himself. I feel that this book has a lot of depth and emotion that blends together with Lowry’s great literature, making it special. The book does have a few minor flaws, yet it doesn’t fail to impress as it makes readers think deeply about life and what you make out of it. Here are the reasons why I recommend this book.

Once they were no longer able to physically complete their assigned tasks, they were burned alive. Sadly, this was not the worst fate for the Nazi prisoners; some were test subjects in cruel experiments thought up by Nazi doctors. These experiments were conducted solely to improve the Aryan race, and in today’s society they would be considered extremely unethical. Even though valuable data was obtained from these experiments, it’s warranted use is still a very controversial topic in society because the information was obtained so unethically. Not only is the ethical use of the data being questioned, but the validity of the data and the credentials of the doctors involved is also being
