Adolf Eichmann

Good Evening ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we are here today to decide the fate of Adolf Eichmann. I am going to begin my defensive argument by telling all of you a little bit about Adolf Eichmann, and how he got in this predicament. Adolf Eichmann has always been a normal everyday person. He has had many different jobs. He has worked for his father’s mining company, worked in sales, and he even went door to door as a traveling salesman. Wanting to better his future, he joined the Austrian Nazi Party in 1932. Eichmann had no idea what Adolf Hitler had in store for the Jews. Eichmann was eventually moved up to lieutenant colonel of the German Army. When someone makes a commitment like joining the German Army, it is that person’s duty to follow orders. Nazi soldiers didn’t have a choice to say “No, I don’t want to do that because I don’t believe it is right.” Their opinion no longer mattered anymore, especially to Adolf Hitler. All Nazi soldiers had to follow all orders Adolf Hitler gave, including Adolf Eichmann. Eichmann states in his final plea “Once again I will stress that am guilty if having been obedient, having subordinated myself to my official duties and the obligations of war service and my oath of allegiance and my oath of office, and in addition, once the war started there was also martial…

Adolf Eichmann Before the horrific events of the holocaust, Adolf Eichmann was German born high school dropout living in Austria, traveling with odd jobs during the 1920’s until a friend recruits him into the Austrian National Socialist (Nazi) Party, and soon after the SS. From this entry point into the Nazi regime, Eichmann began moving upwards through the Austrian League, eventually securing a position as a Sergeant in the Reich Main Security Office (RSHA). There, his duties focused primarily…

Adolf Eichmann and His Impact Morals are a fundamental foundation that distinguishes humans from animals, allowing complex civilizations to be organized through varying ethical codes and customs. The dynamic aspect of ethics is unique throughout each person and society, therefore creating a constantly evolving and complex dilemma of what is universally considered good and evil. During World War II and its aftermath, several important Nazi officials were captured and put on trial where they would…

Adolf Eichmann, born March 19, 1906 in Solingen, was one of the most talented Nazi officials. As a senior SS officer, he was involved in the organisation of logistics related to the Holocaust such as directing large-scale deportation of Jews from German occupied Europe to extermination camps. Eichmann joined the Nazi Party in 1932 and, having worked his way through the party ranks with help from Heydrich and probably because of his office also assisted by Reichsfuehrer S.S. He escaped to…

The Rise and Fall of Adolf Eichmann Adolf Eichmann played a central role in the Holocaust, organizing and calculating the logistics of mass murder that led to death counts in the millions. His capture and trial in 1960 put the Nazi regime in the spotlight and showed the truth behind their actions. In addition to exposing the atrocities of the Holocaust, Adolf Eichmann's membership in the Nazi Party and his pivotal role in the Final Solution, as well as his dramatic capture and trial, had a…

experiment. Lessing only states the small portion of the experiment helping her statement. She leaves out a part of the experiment that talks about if the person has the ability to remain anonymous there is a much greater chance the person won’t conform to the group. When you compare Lessing’s article to Stanley Milgram’s article on obedience to authority, they both present good ideas about authority but very in showing evidence. While Lessing doesn’t have much evidence to back up her ideas,…

One of the most famous studies in psychology was done by Stanley Milgram (theatlantic.com). In 1961, Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University, created an experiment to study obedience (simplypsychology.org). The experiment showed “that most people will hurt their fellows rather than disobey authority,” as said in Milgram’s words (harpercollins.com). The same experiment was performed again for television in 2007 that yielded close results. Could people really be capable of hurting others if…

breakdown that resulted in his coping mechanism, laughing. He could not deviate from being obedient. In a sense, his inclination to obedience took control of his actions. Mr. Braverman’s particular situation is interesting. He could not stop being obedient even if he wanted to. It was as if he lost control of his psyche. Additionally, Mr. Braverman’s wife suggests he call himself Adolf Eichmann, the German soldier who excused his involvement in World War II on the basis that he was just…

Several Jewish committees believed that such an effort would be "a perpetual memorial to the weakness and defenselessness of the Jewish people” and would "not be in the best interests of Jewry" (Kindle Locations 2279-2281). The Jewish population did not want to associate themselves with victimhood following the war until after the 1961. Even the popularization of The Diary of Anne Frank was met with a downplay of her Jewish identity and more concentration her coming of age story. The 1961 event…
