Paper is for Genocide, War Crimes, and Laws. Paper is based on Hannah Arendt’s A Report on the Banality of Evil and Omer Bartov’s Hitler’s Army, Soldiers, Nazis, and War in the Third Reich.
Must Answer the following questions:
Arendt’s Book:
1) Who was Adolph Eichmann and what crimes did he commit? Why? Discuss his three solutions of Deportation, Concentration, and Extermination. Was he a fanatic, true believer of Nazi ideology, anti-Semite following orders, or a combination of all 3?
2) What does Arendt mean when she speaks of the banality of evil?
Bartov’s Book:
1) Describe the environment the German Army operated in. What was the ideology Hitler used to justify his treatment of military and civilian populations in Russia?
2) Describe the various policies practiced by the German army in this theater in relation to its own troops, civilians, POWs, detainees, etc.
3) What affect did these activities have on the German solider individually, on the Germany army generally, and on the victims of these activities? Beside the moral problems with this type of activity, is there a sound utilitarian reason why soldiers should not be permitted to conduct these types of activites?
