Eichmann in Jerusalem

Prior to taking Professor Klein’s very compelling twentieth century U.S history class, the most memorable moment I’ve had would have to be learning about the Holocaust (HaShoah, in Hebrew) and Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was the pioneer of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. He started rightist arrangements that prompted to World War II and the passings of no less than 11 million individuals, including the mass murder of an expected 6 million Jews. He endorsed the development of slaughtering squads…

The holocaust and the Crucible had similar human characteristics. The holocaust was led by Adolf Hitler who at the time declared himself in charge. He wanted all the Jews gone so he killed them or put them in a concentration camp. The crucible was about the people and the court wanting all the witches to be gone. They are both about completely different stories but they have a lot of human characteristics that are a like. Paranoia, the bandwagon effect, and valuing ones reputation above the…

As the Angel of Death, Josef Mengele performed many experiments on the victims that were passing through Auschwitz. He would do “experimental surgeries performed without anesthesia, transfusions of blood from one twin to the other, isolation endurance, reaction to various stimuli. He made injections with lethal germs, sex change operations, the removal of organs and limbs, incestuous impregnations” (Megele, para 18). He was so well known and infamous due to the fact that he was able to convince…

Dr. Josef Mengele Josef Mengele was a ruthless man who did not care for humanity. He had no mercy for the people he heartlessly abused. He was a very cruel and pitiless man. He did so many things that physically, mentally, and emotionally affected the lives of Jews. The most common thing that he did was testing on twin children. He often tested their minds or physical features. He was fascinated by twin children. Josef Mengele grew up somewhat normal. He was the oldest of 3 sons. He had a…

The Mengele Experiments took place in Nazi Germany during World War II, starting in 1943. The main person who conducted the experiments was Dr. Mengele. He did experiments mainly involving identical twins due to the identical genetic material. Many of his experiments were unethical and were seen as crimes against humanity (Muller-Hill, 2001). This experiment that was performed in Nazi Germany was unethical in many ways. A few ways was the lack of informed consent, and protection of the patients.…

Christ who would later have His own triumphal entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey. (John 12:14-15) The foremost and consummate antichrist type in the Bible is Antiochus Epiphanes. In the book, “The Understanding of Ornament in the Italian Renaissance”, by Clare Lapraik Guest, the author states that his processions, “contained temporal allegories and robed statues of the gods plus mythological scenes.” In 168 B.C. he conquered Jerusalem and built an idol to the god, Jupiter in the Jewish…

“Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions,” a relevant quote by Primo Levi (Primo Levi 1). Primo Levi was an Italian scientist, and a Jewish Holocaust survivor of Auschwitz. He experienced many hardships of the concentration camps, and was a witness to the atrocities committed by Holocaust criminals. Franz Stangl, and Ernst Kaltenbrunner, were sentenced…

A Time of Sorrow The Holocaust was a time of evil in the European countries. Millions of innocent people were killed in death camps by brutal torture treatments. Despite the Nazi-stricken continent, heroism and courage could still be found in many people. Between the years of 1939 and 1945, evil was clearly portrayed in the European countries when over four million innocent Jews were executed in concentration and death camps. The horror began when Adolf Hitler was put into power in 1933. In…

The Holocaust was an inhumane genocide constructed by Germany elected leader Adolf Hitler, which began January 30, 1933, and ended May 8, 1945. Many take parts in this inhumane genocide by simply obeying blindly. The result of blind obedience, total eleven million deaths. During the Holocaust, the factors that contribute to people to blindly obey are that it is ingrain that everyone must have obedience towards authority, it fulfills psychological needs and fear of the result of not obeying…

Auschwitz doctors. Positions held by other Nazi leaders demonstrate that Hitler was not the lone perpetrator of the Holocaust since one man could not control all of Nazi Germany. One of the more powerful Nazi leaders during Nazi Germany was Adolf Eichmann. To…
