Adolf Eichmann was a high ranked Nazi Officer who was caught, tried, and hung decades ago. As a person in the military would do, Eichmann just followed orders as one would. Many Jews and relatives of Jews who were in the Holocaust, who endured the pain and suffering, would say that he got what he deserved. Eichmann was not like a stereotypical officer that wasn't affected by human emotion. Eichmann was affected emotionally by how the Jews were being treated and immediately wanted to be transferred. I have family members who were greatly affected by the Holocaust and am very upset about how it all happened. However, I believe that a man who has admitted his wrong doings and was trying to help in an investigation to uncover the dark and horrific secrets of the Nazis, should not have been put to death in such a cruel way.
I totally agree with your stand on this subject. I liked how you brought up the subject of your family members and how they were greatly affected by the Holocaust. In the sentence when you mentioned how Eichmann was different from the other officers, do you think if he was different he would have gone against Hitler's ways?
ReplyDeleteI don't think that he would've because there would be major repercussions.
DeleteYou made a very good point and i agree with what you said. Adolf didn't do anything wrong besides help find information. Like you said, it wasn't right for him to be killed. It was really good that you mentioned your family as well because it showed a more personal side to your reasoning.
