1103 Words5 Pages

The Holocaust was during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and others murdered six million Jews, which was around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population across German-occupied Europe. Of about 6 million Jewish people who were murdered in the Holocaust, 1.5 million were children. As a result of the suffering of the Nazi regime, several European countries formulated a law that criminalized both denial of the Holocaust and the promotion of Nazi ideology. Besides Adolf Hitler, the German citizens and the countries who refused to take in Jewish refugees actively took part and were responsible for the Holocaust by discriminating and refusing to help the Jews to prevent the holocaust. To begin, the first group most at fault for …show more content…

The evidence, however, overwhelmingly supports the fact that the Nazi Soldiers were at fault, but does not have enough evidence to support the claim that they were most at fault because all they did was to follow Hitler’s instructions. The claim makes it seem as if it was only the Nazi soldiers but let us look at this, in general the Nazi soldiers, the SS officer etc. were citizens, too. In general, the German citizens were highly responsible because they discriminated against and deprived Jews of their rights. According to “United States Holocaust Memorial Museum,” the author explains “Some of our neighbors [...] took whatever they wanted.” Admittedly, the essence of the author’s claim is to prove to the reader that the Germans took Jews’ properties, they looted the little that the Jews had willingly, without being forced to follow any instruction. Also, the Germans saw, heard, and knew about the mass killings being carried out as the Jews were being taken away and deported, but they all decided to keep quiet and turn a blind eye to the injustice happening around them, none of them stood up for the Jews, they only stole from them. According to “United States Holocaust Memorial Museum,” the author explains “German physicians helped carry out Nazi eugenic racial policies aimed at increasing the births of hereditary healthy "German-blooded" persons and decreasing those of persons viewed as genetically "defective" and a burden on national resources.” This proves that the German Physicians voluntarily assisted the Nazis by carrying out their racial policies aimed at killing the Jews. The Nazi soldiers followed Hitler's instructions involuntarily and they did it for a prize or a reward, while the German physicians did it at their own will. This means that they were not expecting anything in return, and they did it to discriminate against the Jews and begin the

The holocaust was a plan to annihilate the Jewish people during World War 2 which killed close to six million Jewish people. This was the “final solution” that Hitler spoke of when he wanted to eradicate Jewish people that were under Jewish rule or influence. The countries that were affected by this were mainly European countries, Poles, Russians, Roma, Serbs, Czechs, and other political opponents at the time. This took place in concentration camps that made the Jewish people to work. So once they completed their task and were not worth to be kept alive they were killed by being shot in a pit that they dug or died from gasses such as carbon monoxide, there were also other methods that they were killed during this time period.

To begin, the most obviously guilty group is the top SS officers. They orchestrated the entire system of mass murder that was used to exterminate the Jews. They began this “while establishing the concentration camps,” (“SS”). The top SS officers were the ones who created a way to systematically murder thousands of Jews. Without the SS, the Nazi regime could not have done so much damage, since the “SS remained the backbone of the Nazi regime,” (“SS”).

As the laws against Jews in Germany got progressively worse, some Jewish people thought to stick up for their rights, but it was futile. Jewish people began fleeing the country, but few countries would take them due to the fear of a newly empowered German state. On the evening of November 9, 1938, the Holocaust began with carefully coordinated attacks on Jewish businesses. Unfortunately, this was just a sample of the horrors that would be shown in the next twelve years. Hindsight is already 20/20 and from the events leading up to the Holocaust most historians concur that the Holocaust should have been predicted and stopped.

I wanted to find a social psychological theory on hate and use evolutionary psychology principles to refute it. I noticed right away that social psychology does not seem to have a unified theory on hate. Instead, there are a lot of different theories that cover intergroup aggression, prejudice, and hate crimes. I did find an interesting theory by Robert Sternberg known as the Duplex Theory of Hate. He describes hate in two parts: as a triangle and as a story.
