Hitler's Willing Executioners

Genocide…it’s a scary thought and hard to imagine. How such a thing could happen? Not only does it involve the intentional and systematic annihilation of a race of people, but also the destruction of their personal property, security, religion, dignity, liberty, and life. Stop and consider it for a second. If it was happening to people around you, would you do anything to stop it? Could it happen again in today’s society? One might be quick to say it could not, but think about this.It has happened

It was in December 1948, when it was approved unanimous the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide at France which became the 260th resolution of the General Assembly of the United Nations.

I will begin my paper with the early writings of Christians and continue chronologically until after World War II. The Apostle Paul was

Josef Mengele Fifteen years ago the world let out a sigh of relief with the discovery of 208 bones and a few rags. For over forty years survivors of the Nazi death camps known as Auschwitz were haunted by the vision of the handsome, well dressed man with a caring smile who pointed his white-gloved finger either left or right deciding who lived (at least for the moment) and who died.

Main Aspects of the Holocaust This project looks back at many of the main aspects of the Holocaust. On most topics I have focused in on one particular event or place (like Auschwitz for the camps or Kristallnacht for the Nazi rise). I did this as I think the Holocaust has to be looked upon on a more personal and individual level to see how bad it was and you can't really do this by simply over viewing a certain topic.

The Positive Relationship Between Science and Religion Introduction: Throughout history we can find many instances where religion was strongly opposed to scientific research. For example, the Catholic Church’s objection to Galileo’s defense of Copernicus’ heliocentric model where he offered his observations that he felt furthered the theory that the planets revolved around the Sun.
