vigorously advocated the shootings of Jews’” (77). Kay is able to present here that while what Filbert said is court held some truth, the truth behind his actions were that of a man looking out for the needs of himself. The exact actions causing him to fabricate portions of his testimony. Kay also provides a few instances outside of Filbert 's life in the SS in which his need for recognition and admiration change his perception of actual life events. With image being a concept that was extremely important to Filbert his title as Doctor of Laws made up his identity. For even when using a fake name, Dr. Selbert, he still kept the title Dr. in his need for admiration and recognition. Thus, Kay shows, that in 1964 when the Justus Liebig University of Giessen resolved to strip the title from Filbert for the unworthy use of his title he filed an objection. Filbert held to the claim that "He had been appointed the head of the EK 9 as retribution for the conduct of his brother... and furthermore claimed that refusal to carry out mass shootings... had been punishable by death" (104). Again for the sake of his image Filbert cast himself as the victim when kay has clearly shown that Filbert 's actions as an enthusiastic perpetrator were done on his own accord in order to feed his ego and advance his career. Especially seen when Filbert took on a role in the film Wundkanal, Filbert 's ego was vastly inflated. He practically took on a role playing himself, believing that the film was…

I have observed many children who have dropped out of college because they were not ready for the freedom of being on their own. I remember my next door neighbor only let her son attend a local community college. The other children attended colleges and universities far away from home, but he went to school nearby. The reason behind that is because his mom wanted to make sure her child was prepared for college mentally. She didn’t want her son to drop out because of parties, and not keeping up…

I realized that going through the same experience while applying to colleges, going to a community college would be a better choice for me simply because I would not have to pay anything whereas in a University I would have to stress about ways to pay off my debt and loan. I believe that in a time where every student is faced with the pressure of going to college, the best way to go if going to a University is too expensive, there is always the best alternative where you don’t feel so pressured…
