Borowski’s View of the Holocaust
[ send me this paper ]
A five-page paper analyzing the view of the Holocaust expressed in two short stories from Tadeusz Borowski’s “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentleman.” There is a spiritual element to the way most Jews approached their fate that Borowski’s narrator cannot empathize with at all; for him everything is a matter of sheer expediency, and people who refuse to cooperate with the necessary politics of camp life deserve not pity but contempt. Stories discussed are the title story “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentleman” and “A Day at Harmenz”. Bibliography lists three sources.

Cambodian Women and the Khmer Rouge
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report
discusses the genocide that took place in Cambodia during the
totalitarian regime of the Khmer Rouge in 1975-1979. Various
empirical studies reported that Cambodian women experienced the
most extensive trauma. These women were victims of physical
violence, often of a sexual nature, perpetrated by their fellow
citizens. They were exposed to multiple forms of emotional abuse,
torture, and forced labor. Many witnessed the deaths or
executions of their husbands, and most lost at least one, and
often several, of their children. Extended kinship networks, so
much a part of their cultural heritage and their everyday
functioning, were destroyed. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Chaim Potok's 'The Chosen' / The Pluralistic Nature of Reality
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay which examines this award winning novel by Chaim Potok. The writer demonstrates that the differing viewpoints within this Jewish community are intrinsic to the thematic structure of this coming-of-age story of two teenage boys. The writer illustrates that by the novel's conclusion, Potok has peeled back the layers of meaning to reveal the shared humanity of the two groups.

Christopher Browning's "Ordinary Men:" Why, When Given A Choice, Did The Vast Majority Of Men In The Reserve Police Battalion 101 Opt To Participate In The Nazi Genocide?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Christopher Browning's "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland" discusses the reactive nature of men who are under the mental, emotional and physical strain of superior orders. The extent to which members of Reserve Battalion 101 opted to participate in the Nazi genocide, despite the fact they were given a choice, speaks volumes regarding the overwhelming influence Hitler had over ordinary men – artisans and working class police reservists untrained for such atrocities – who would otherwise never consider killing another human being. No additional sources cited.

Christopher Browning’s “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion
101” and Daniel Goldhagen’s “Hitler’s Willing Executioners
[ send me this paper ]
Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust: This 6 page report discusses
these two books and compares their differing premises regarding
the actions taken (or not taken) by “ordinary” German citizens
during the Holocaust. Browning’s premise was that circumstances
such as peer pressure, career promotion, and the mindless
conformity of society led large numbers of common, everyday
people to participate in murdering the Jews of Europe. On the
other hand, Goldhagen claims that the well-established German
tradition of an “eliminationist ideal” resulted in a type of
anti-Semitism that was, in his opinion, a solely “German
pathology.” No other sources.

Comparison of Heinrich Heine and Gunter Grass
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing classic
works by these German authors. Both Heine and Grass portray a dark and nearly hopeless
Germany in their works. Heine's Deutschland, a Winter's Tale is older than Grass' The Tin
Drum by more than 100 years, a century in which Germany rose to command world
attention twice. Grass portrays a Germany with much similarity to that of Heine's time.
Heine was threatening and ominous in much of his epic-length verse. He was able to see
ahead on Germany's then-current path; Grass looked back along that path in the other
direction. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that compares and contrasts Mark Harris' Bang the Drum Slowly and Art Spiegelman's Maus, A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began. The writer argues how very different situations are connected when they each touch – as these authors do – on factors that are intrinsically human. No additional sources cited.

Eichmann And Stangl: Two Different People Or Two Different Authors?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Human behavior is a complicated and curious equation. The answer to why a particular action is exhibited may be locked away in centuries worth of evolution, yet it continues to be displayed even today. Contemporary sociologists have come to understand that the
human mental condition is part of a complex interplay between the environment and biology. Indeed, there is a direct link between brain chemistry and structure that ultimately dictates behavior. Hannah Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem : A Report on the Banality of Evil" and Gitta Sereny's "Into That Darkness : An Examination of Conscience" discuss such behavior as it relates to infamous Holocaust personalities Eichmann and Stangl. However, upon reading these accounts, one is compelled to ponder whether these men represent two different people or two different authors. No
additional sources cited.
