The Holocaust, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Holocaust can be conceived of as an entirely rational act. The author points out that Freud and others have posited the idea that human beings lack an internal moral compass, which is a belief that presupposes that human beings lack the capacity to determine the innate rightness or wrongness of a particular act. The paper relates that Frayn focuses on the indeterminacy of truth and suggests that the subjective nature of the truth makes any efforts to rationally arrive at universal ones.
From the Paper
'There can be little doubt that the Holocaust was one of the worst - if not the worst - acts of iniquity ever carried out by human beings. Nearly six million European Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime as Hitler and his thugs attempted to wipe an entire ethnic group from the face of the earth - and many more lost family members, homes and all of their personal possessions as a result of the Nazi rampage. With that grim specter in mind, this paper confronts the fallacy of believing that enlightenment conceits or ideals - championing as they do the 'rationality' of human beings - are possible in the real world."

Abstract
This paper explores Hannah Arendt's theory which she called "the banality of evil." Arendt's hypothesis is critiqued and studied through the example of Adolf Eichmann, a figure responsible for orchestrating the Nazi Holocaust. A disturbing facet of Arendt's argument is based on the belief that Adolf Eichmann lacked intrinsically evil psychological makeup. It is debated in this paper whether a human being could willingly devise a scheme that was the most sadistic and systematic killing in world history. A brief portion of the paper examines common instances where the 'banality of evil' could excuse wrongdoing.
From the Paper
"The term 'banality of evil' can be explained in a variety of ways. Literally, the word 'banality' translates as "dullness". The word evil can be defined as "something that brings sorrow, distress, or calamity" . On the surface, a basic analysis of the phrase implies that sadistic behavior does not always have a starting point. Arendt's use of this phrase offers an alternative explanation to our traditional perceptions of evil. She refutes the notion that an ulterior motive must exist to commit sinister acts such as the Holocaust. In Eichmann's example, this would imply that he was not motivated by Anti-Semitism or inner-resentment towards any race. Instead, Arendt proposes that some individuals' capacity for evil derives from their superficial character. Their superficiality dulls their ability to make informed and moral decisions."

Holocaust Denial, 2004.
This paper discusses the weaknesses of the Holocaust denial theory.
2,925 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains how the Holocaust denial theory is unique in that it forces its proponents to denounce a veritable monolith of hard evidence that runs contrary to its central claims. The five primary pillars of Holocaust denial theory are explored and ultimately discarded amidst a convergence of evidence that the Holocaust did, tragically, take place.
From the Paper
"There is a burden of proof that every historian must bear and it is in many respects one's ability to authenticate an historical event with hard data and incontrovertible fact that will validate one's analysis of the past. Old Testament accounts, for example, often at times discuss characters and events that are only to be found in the Old Testament itself. Archaeology has done little to verify claims that, for instance, men such as Solomon or Abraham ever actually existed."

The Holocaust, 2005.
This paper details survival, resistance and rescue during the Holocaust.

Abstract
The paper discusses survival, resistance and rescue during the Holocaust, explaining the various modes of resistance and strategies employed for survival. The paper contends that no one method of resistance was the best.
From the Paper
"The analyses and narratives presented in the three books suggest very strongly that modes of survival, resistance and rescue were possible during the Holocaust. Without question, instances of the failure of these modes of behavior likely outweigh instances of their success. Nonetheless, the text establishes that such activities were possible and practiced regularly throughout the Holocaust. The paper examines the Holocaust through the essays of numerous scholars and other writers."

Ironically, production of the film began on September the day Britain and France declared war on Germany. Prior to WWII Britain's policy of appeasement and the U S policy of isolationism did little to persuade Chaplin against making the film a parody of Hitler's and Mussolini's fascism. Britain announced it would not release the film for fear of..."
