“Justice”
What is justice? Is it when a person's demise makes society feel better? Or is it when a felon gets acquitted of all charges brought against him? Wherever there is justice, there is obscurity. Before the summer of, Auschwitz was not the most lethal of the six Nazi extermination camps. The Nazis had killed more Jews at Treblinka, where between and Jews were killed in the 17 months of its operation, yet during the summer of Auschwitz overtook the other death camps not only in the number of Jews killed but in the pace of destruction. The condition of the Jews was desperate. With so much death already why would repay the Germans and Jews with more death. I don’t believe that we the Americans should of boomed Buna.
Morality, this is not easy to specify morality from black or white, more like shades of gray. Accordingly, perspective as a lot to do with these shades of gray, in which, with many ideas many thought and of course many "solutions “come to play. But with these "solutions", the cause, as usually an unknown effect that could cause more problems than it solves. With the issue of should we have boomed Buna molality is on a teetering scale that may never lean to one side indefinably? With that said, I do understand that the Germans mass slaughter of the Jewish people had to be stopped, but killing the innocent hoping to save these innocents how does that make any sense. If we were to bomb that very concentration camp what separates us from the Germans? In the end the same result would of defaulted, death of Jews. We strive to be a role model for the world why should we model the actions of inhuman beings
Even after Anglo-American air forces developed the capacity to hit targets in Siles in July 1944, US authorities decided not to bomb Auschwitz. American officials explained this decision in part with a technical argument that their aircraft didn’t have the capacity to conduct air raids on such targets with good enough accuracy, and in part with a

    Throughout the course of humanity, we have experienced terrible transgressions in our society. Although they took place sixty-one years apart, similar horrific events from the Holocaust (1933-1945) and the Rwandan Genocide (1994) occurred. In Night, the Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state sponsored persecution and murder of approximately 6 million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The Nazis believed they were “racially superior” so they killed the Jews because they were deemed “inferior” and needed to be eliminated.…

    During the Holocaust, six million Jewish people were murdered by means of gas, cremation, disease, starvation and various other causes. As Wiesel stated in his acceptance speech, the Nazi Party grew stronger due to the silence of the German citizens. However, the German citizens were not the only people to be silent. The United States did not become involved in the war until they were attacked. They were aware of the mass killings, but they chose to ignore them until they were threatened. This proves to the ethics and morality of the people of the United States and Germany. They were aware of the…

    The Holocaust was a time of suffering form many Jewish people. Many had contributed to making all the Jewish people suffer, but one person who should have been responsible was Franz Stangl. Franz Stangl was a cruel Nazi war criminal who had also been a commander of several extermination camps during the holocaust era. Franz Stangl not only worked for the extermination camps but had also run some camps killing over 900,000 Jewish people. He had thought that the humans were cargo and garbage. Not only did he thought that the Jewish people worthless humans, but he took so many lives away from so many people. Franz Stangl had done some vicious crimes and should have been punished greatly for his actions on account of many reasons.…

    The Holocaust: Buchenwald

    <br>The Holocaust is the most horrifying crime against humanity of all times. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population.He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." One of his main methods of "doing away" with these "undesirables" was through the use of concentration camps. "In January 1941, in a meeting with his top officials, the 'final solution' was decided". The Jewish population was to be eliminated. In this paper I will discuss concentration camps with a detailed description of the worst one prior to World War II, Buchenwald.…

    Who should be put to trial, the individuals who gave the orders? The people who carried out the orders? Those who allowed it to happen? Those who gave the orders are the one who should be put on trial. Those orders that were responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews. You can't blame the soldiers nor people who carried out the orders. It's not their fault they have to listen to their higher ups, especially back in World War 2 where you would probably be getting killed for not following orders. According to handout #65 Rudolph Hess, the commander of the largest camp says “ I was ordered to establish extermination facilities at Auschwitz in 6/1941” Rudolph was ordered to make the facilities. These orders are what caused the Holocaust. It's…

    We also asked some local residents about their opinions on World War II and how millions of Jews have been murdered. Vikram Barn, age 29, says “I’m shattered, heartbroken, to know that there are millions of Jews being tortured and slaughtered, while God is doing nothing, how in the world can God allow this wicked man, Adolf Hitler, to do such a thing, it’s impeccable”. Many of people we interviewed stated something similar to this, as most people are in shock to know that these kind of people are on the planet and alive.…

    Though the allies had precise maps of Auschwitz and their planes were capable of finding their way to the oil house five miles away from the slaughterhouse, they never demolished the crematoria or gas chambers, which would have seriously disadvantaged the German-programmed mass killings. Arthur Morse's book, While Six Million Died, makes upset reading as we are required to recognize the complicity of so much of the world in what is usually observed as the wrongdoing of the Nazis.…

    First, these Concentration Camps were very brutal. Some examples of brutality are “when a person is captured they were beaten, tortured, starved, murdered by being worked to death, and by being put in gas chambers or large furnaces. A result of these actions 100 people died daily at the camps” (The Concentration Camps). The point of these “camps” was to kill and get rid of all Jews. These Jewish people were being taken to these places and they thought everything would be ok and they would go home soon. Most of them never made it home. The people that ran the camps had no mercy either. They didn’t care if the…

    Primo Levi's 'Grey Zone'

    • 347 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Primo Levi, a survivor of Auschwitz, wrote of the ‘grey zone’ as the moral space between ‘good’ and ‘evil’. His main point is that this space recognises the multiplicity of experiences and people who struggled within Nazi policy aiming to create division and strip humanity from those it touched. Thus, prisoners who gained privileges through their contributions to the Final Solution, such as the Sonderkommandos cannot be categorised as totally innocent, yet neither should they be morally damned for doing what they had to in order to survive.…

    Growing up, there is a label on each and every person, and on that label, there are expectations. Every single plant, animal, thing, human has to meet the expectations placed upon their label. Whether they like it or not, this label, and these expectations stay with them their whole life. Good, bad, smart, athletic, and so on. What they have been pre-described, shapes their life, for the better or worse, and just like any other time, the time during the Holocaust much was the same. However, the expectations that were placed on every single human, country, and government did not seem to be met. Every one of them all had the same excuse. “We did not…

    Bosnian Genocide

    • 1216 Words

    According to congresswomen Allyson Schwartz, "The 20th century taught us how far unbridled evil can and will go when the world fails to confront it. It is time that we heed the lessons of the 20th century and stand up to these murderers. It is time that we end genocide in the 21st century." The world was confronted with a disastrous destruction when six million Jews were shamefully persecuted under the cruel leadership of Adolf Hitler and his inhumane decisions. The cry for help from various targeted groups was ignored, and resulted in a tragedy never before seen by the world. Thousands of regrets were made, and millions of questions were asked by those who had committed almost as big as a crime as the Germans during this genocide; disregard and negligence; all eventually promised to never let such disasters occur again. Just half a century later, the citizens of Bosnia, still able to reflect on the previous European catastrophe, had a similar occurrence resulting in the deaths of many innocent people; and once again showing the world yet another devastation that must never occur again. The Bosnian Genocide is a historical landmark dealing with multiple causes and effects, which are still consequential to many lives today.…

    Dachau Concentration Camp

    In the early 1930s, the residents of the picturesque city of Dachau, Germany, were completely unaware of the horrific events about to unfold that would overshadow their city still today. The citizens of Dachau were oblivious that their city was going to become the origin of concentration camps and of the Holocaust, the mass murder committed by the Nazi s in World War II. Dachau Concentration Camp, which would soon be placed on the edge of their community, would serve as a model for all Nazi extermination camps. This perfect prototype of a Nazi killing machine has come to represent the start of the horror-filled Holocaust and the Nazi's determination to achieve a perfect society during World War II.…

    Is the glass half full or half empty? I'm sure most of you have been asked this question before and I'm sure everyone in this room has a different answer. This is because 'truth' is relative, it is personal. Some might say half empty and some may say full, depending on our circumstances.…

    The Nuremberg Trials were a series of war trials against the Nazis for their crimes committed during the war. In reference to the article provided, only twenty-two war criminals were tried, to begin with, and after only fifteen were given serious punishments on the count of their respective charges, twelve given the death sentence, and three lifelong sentences in prison. The other seven were either acquitted or given ten to twenty years in prison. The results and the consequences of these trials do not nearly equate to the six million deaths of Jews and other victims in the Holocaust. Although these trials showed the power of obeying judicial laws in worldly events, hundreds of thousands of perpetrators got away with crimes, and this in no way fully shows justification for the Jewish…

    Mob Justice

    • 254 Words

    Mob Justice is usually a random act of people that would rather take matters into their own hands. Therefore, they do not testify in court, they instead harshly beat the accuser who has committed a crime. Mob justice is happening all over the world in modern time. There is no specific reasoning on this justice because each person has a different way at looking at each case. There are two ways to look at mob justice: Is it right or wrong? Many people all over the world think that this is a fair way to handle the matter because if they don’t do it themselves; then they are not able to rely on the court systems. Who is to say that if mob justice comes in and beats a person for raping someone, then they have or have not physically committed a crime themselves? Saying so, the other remaining people believe it truly is wrong, and it is not a proper way to handle situations under any circumstances. I believe that mob justice is wrong, to a certain criteria that it. I do not think it is appropriate to resolve anything in violence, especially if it can lead to serious damage or death. I’m not necessarily saying that it is right to violate a crime either, but there are times, when people may have too. Such as stealing food to feed your family, etc. The proper thing wouldn’t be to steal, nor would it be proper to physically attack the…
