From the Paper
" This research paper discusses the role of German industry, its involvement, culpability and accountability, in and for the Holocaust, the systematic extermination or mass genocide of about six of the eleven million Jews in Europe by the government of National Socialist (Nazi) Germany between 1940 and 1945.
With very few exceptions, German industry gave its wholehearted support to the Nazi war machine and knowingly and actively participated in the implementation of the Final Solution (Endlosung) of the 'Jewish Question.' It did so for a number of reasons related to the furtherance of corporate interests; and it acted with at best a crippling moral indifference to the suffering and fate of the Jews. Those industries most directly involved were the major manufacturers.."

From the Paper
"The harrowing experience of Primo Levi, detailed in his book Survival in Auschwitz, was the experience of millions of people in World War II. The book is powerful and affecting, and it also serves as a very strong portrayal of the entire era of which the Holocaust is a part. This book presents the real effects of history, not the changes in leadership and the movements of armies but the changes in the lives of real individuals who become the victims of other people's hatreds an ambitions. No single book can be considered a complete history of the "final solution" or its aftermath, but a book such as this one provides strong insights into the effect such horrors had on the people against whom the Final Solution was directed. As we consider what Levi has to say about that era and his description of what was done to himself and others, we will.."

From the Paper
"1. Introduction
Based on Viktor Frankl?s Man?s Search For Meaning, this essay is an examination of the capacity of human beings to hold on to their freedom and find meaning in life, in spite of adverse physiological, social, and psychological conditionings. While reading Frankl?s depiction of the traumatic life in a concentration camp, one poses this fundamental question about human existence: how can human beings tolerate this level of degradation without giving up their faith in human freedom and meaning in their lives?
The answer lies within the inner souls of the prisoners who possessed the courage to exercise their freedom and make their own choices when confronted with the nightmarish options available to them. As Frankl points out, even though most of the.."

Life is Beautiful: A Holocaust Comedy?, 2001.
An analysis of the acceptability of the comedic theme in the movie "Life is Beautiful", which deals with the Holocaust.
1,935 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 61.95

Abstract
This paper argues that the comedic element found in "Life is Beautiful" is appropriate to the subject of the Holocaust. The opposing viewpoints of Gerald Peary, a critic for the Boston Phoenix, and the late literary scholar Terence De Pres are also presented.
From the Paper
"Shortly after WWII, jokes associated with the Holocaust were found circulating in Israel. For example, ?Do you know why Hitler killed himself? He got his gas bill? (Mamet, 142-3). Jokes like this one are often considered inappropriate because they mock a very tragic event and furthermore offend many Jewish people. Such people find jokes about the Holocaust disturbing to hear and yet others find them humorous. Therefore, this form of questionable humor poses the question, do comedy and the Holocaust mix? When dealing with an issue as serious as the Holocaust, it is debatable whether or not an element of humor is appropriate."

The Holocaust, 2001.
This paper analyzes the differences between how men and women experienced the Holocaust.
3,815 words (approx. 15.3 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 104.95

Abstract
The paper argues in depth why men and women had different reactions to the Holocaust and how both roles were changed forever. It describes the women's burden of being both Jewish and female, with its different emotional and psychological experience, the domestic changes with the emergence of working women and biological issues.
From the Paper
"Treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany, during WWII, brought a whole new meaning to the phrase ?women and children first.? Traditionally this phrase implies that women and children are the first to be saved, but in Nazi concentration camps they were the first to perish. Due to a man?s natural physical strength, his manpower could be utilized in slave labor camps. Although there were some female labor camps, women and young children were often deemed unfit for such a brutal assignment, and were therefore sent to be executed upon arrival at various concentration camps. Babies and pregnant women, once at camps such as Auschwitz, were automatically targeted for death. Women and children, who have traditionally been protected in times of war, were mercilessly forced into gas chambers after being separated from their husbands and fathers. They too were part of an ideological goal to exterminate races deemed unfit by the Nazi Reich."

The History of the Nazis, 2001.
This paper discusses the Nazis regime's rise to power and its political activities.

Abstract
This paper takes the reader into an exploratory journey through the rise of the Nazis from 1918?1939. The author discusses Adolf Hitler's rise to power, the party's political agenda and its expansion nationwide. Furthermore, it urges the reader to remember the evil the Nazis caused humanity in order to prevent history from repeating itself.
From the Paper
"In 1939 the war of the world included the United States anger and coupled with allies the Nazis were finally defeated. The rise and fall of the Nazis is something that we must never forget. A man with a charismatic speaking ability, and a nation with economic troubles was all it took to grow one of the biggest monsters in the history of the world. The Nazi regime still lives. It is in corners, and web sites and meetings that are around the world. We must never let them grow, and we must never let them win again."

False Assumptions about the Final Solution, 2002.
This paper examines the assumption that only monsters could have committed the mass murders of the Holocaust.

Abstract
This paper compares two books written about the extermination of Jewish people: ?Ordinary Men,? (Christopher Browning) and ?Resisting the Holocaust? (ed. Ruby Rohrlich) and tries to show how every human has the ability to become a murderer if he/she were placed under the correct circumstances.
From the Paper
"The men who carried out the anti-Semitic operations were ?too old to be of use to the German army? (Browning 1). Instead they were drafted into the Order Police where they would carry out behind-the-scenes procedures not important enough to require trained officers of the military. Instead of selecting the men most suited for the task of executing the Jews, it is most likely that they were not fit enough to make any other contribution to the war effort. Most of them had no previous military training and many of them went back to their previous occupations after the war had ended, having completed their required service (Browning 144). "

The Banality of Evil, 2002.
Discussion of the Holocaust centering on Hannah Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem" examining both age old anti-Semitism in Germany and the banality or ordinariness of Hitler's bureaucratized system of annihilation.

Abstract
This paper is based on Hannah Arendt?s "Eichmann in Jerusalem". It discusses two views of the Holocaust: one that the perpetrators were Germans nurtured on a centuries old anti-Semitism tradition; and another that the perpetrators were ordinary people, caught up in a bureaucratized system of annihilation that encouraged unthinking complicity that made this evil seem banal or ordinary because everyone was going along with it. That these two views are easily reconciled is the thesis of the paper. Elie Wiesel?s "Night" and Michael Dobkowski?s "Genocide and The Modern Age" are used to supplement discussion of Arendt?s treatment of the trial of Adolf Eichmann.
From the Paper
"It is true that the Holocaust was perpetrated by Germans with a long history of pervasive inhumane anti-Semitic views. It is also valid to say that the Holocaust was facilitated by banal acceptance of a bureaucratized system of annihilation. With centuries of hatred, and barbarous treatment of Jews as precedent, it was easy for the Germans to move on to state sanctioned systematized slaughter. Those whose upbringing had taught them to hate Jews, might move quickly into positions of power in the Third Reich. Others who weren?t capable of thinking for themselves, saw everyone else, including those they respected and admired supporting Hitler?s answers to the Jewish question. A long tradition of anti-Semitism joined with unthinking complicity to escalate the banality of evil. As evil progressed through stages of classification, ghettoization, deportation, and concentration to eradication, it was just another step in the progression of dehumanization for those who had forgotten the unity of the human community."

Abstract
This paper retells the story line of this Holocaust book and then offers a critique on it.
From the Paper
"This book, which depicts the story of a young man?s journey through concentration camps and WWII, is actually telling two stories. One story is the obvious aforementioned about his times at Auswitz and other camps, but there is another story of greater importance. This story deals with Elie constantly asking God questions to which he doesn?t understand the answer to, followed by his changing religiously, and then brought to a close when his question is answered and he finally comprehends the answer."

Abstract
This paper discusses several instances of how the Holocaust has been viewed through the different types of media. The author examines the impact of this and how it has influenced society's opinion about the Holocaust.
From the Paper
"World War II is a well-known and well-studied historical event. One experience that is most commonly associated with this is the Holocaust, the worst incident of genocide in history. The accounts of this widespread murder of six million Jews by the Nazis have been passed down through history. Some even refuse to believe that the Holocaust ever took place, even with the numerous accounts and testimonies of survivors along with the countless pieces of evidence that still remain today. Nevertheless, the effects of the Holocaust, the crime of the century, continue to shape our culture long after the actual barbaric event took place."
