Social Changer Summary
­

Key Facts ­ Provide a report or summary of the key information. Consider who, what, when, where, why. ● Oskar Schindler (1908­1974) amassed his fortune through assuming Jewish owned enamelware and ammunitions factories/industries during German invasion of Poland (1939) and then exploiting cheap labor through ghettos.

    Albert Speer, political technocrat

    Criticism of Speer’s success in armament production focuses on the human ‘cost’, much of the increase of armament production rested on the exploitation of foreign workers and the prisoners of war, whom were kept under horrific conditions. In the Nuremburg trials Albert Speer claimed that the appropriation of the workers was the responsibility of Fritz Saukel, his deputy. Fritz Saukel was known for being ruthless while carrying out his work, he wrote in his memorandum to his officials, “all men must be fed, housed and treated in such a way as to exploit them to the greatest possible extent at the absolute minimum of expenditure.” Although Speer only got 20 years at the Nuremburg trials and Fritz Saukel was sentenced to death it was Albert Speer as the minister who was responsible for the number of workers that were used and even the conditions in which they were forced to work in.…

    Describe Three Significant Factors from the Personal Background and Historical Context of the Personality You Have Studied and How These Factors Shaped the Personality’s Life

    Speer’s membership into the Nazi Party on 1 March 1931 as member #474,481 was the indisputable cornerstone of his future success. Joining the Nazi Party because of Hitler’s “magnetic force” and “peculiar magic”, Speer was able to escape the worries of post-depression and gain professional advancement. However, his initial role in the party was minute, extending no further than driving party members to meetings and rallies. However, his luck changed upon acquainting Karl Hanke, who gave him the job of redecorating Goebbel’s headquarters in Voss Strasse. Here, Speer proved his ability to get a job done well in a limited time period. As a result of impressing Nazi party leadership, Speer was appointed Commissioner for the Artistic and Technical Presentation of Party Rallies and Demonstrations, and later head of the Building Department of Deputy Fuhrer. Therefore, as Speer himself states, “this coincidence [was] the luckiest turning point in my [Speer’s] life”.…

    Speer - Changing Views

    There are a number of factors that can be held accountable for the changing views on Albert Speer and his involvement in the Nazi regime. It was the combination of shifting contexts, values and insights, linked to Speer’s own personal story, which ultimately generated shifting understandings of Speer’s contribution to the Nazi regime. However, it is important to acknowledge that there were in fact, always different perspectives, whereby historians and social researchers have debated over the extent to Speer’s ‘innocence’. Initially most historians analysed WW2 in a broad sense. It was only in the later years that micro analysis of the war took place. This ultimately contributed to Speer’s reputation as the ‘Good Nazi’, being unhinged over time. Furthermore, the enigmatic nature of Speer’s role in the Nazi regime has contributed greatly to the varying views of many eminent historians.…

    Albert Speer Analysis

    Despite Albert Speer’s claims, as Minister of Armaments, it is inevitable that Albert Speer was aware of the use and abuse of forced labour and the appalling conditions of inmates at concentration camps and I find it hard to believe anything contrary. As Gitta Sereny suggests, Speer knew a lot more than what he led on, he knew what he was inevitably going to find out. Although Speer states in, Inside the Third Reich, “I did not investigate, I did not want to know”, this position of knowledge places him with direct personal responsibility for the use and abuse of forced labourers.…

    Role of Ordinary Germans in the Holocaust

    The participation of ordinary Germans in the holocaust was not limited to significant jobs; rather it included minor duties, tasks and jobs. Average Germans, working men and women who would not even think about murdering innocent people, still had to earn a living throughout the war. This meant continuing with their jobs that, although often accidental, assisted or minutely contributed to the murdering of Jews in the Holocaust. Factory owners would accept Jews as slaves, secretaries would write off people’s lives and railway employees watched thousands of Jews being driven to their deaths. An example of these ‘everyday’ jobs would be that of an engineer. Believe it or not, there were ordinary people who had to construct the gas chambers and crematoriums at German death camps, such as Auschwitz. A German Engineering company, Topf and Sohne, did this job and testimonies from three of their workers describe their duty. “Prufer was an expert. He designed and constructed these crematoriums … I personally lead the installation work in Auschwitz crematoriums and gas chambers” German engineer Karl Schultze identifies himself and a co-worker as engineers of the Auschwitz death camp. Schultze also claims to have…
