    The Obedience Alibi Milgram 'S Account of the Holocaust Reconsidered

    David R. Mandel The Obedience Alibi Milgram 's Account of the Holocaust Reconsidered "Unable to defy the authority of the experimenter, [participantsj attribute all responsibility to him. It is the old story of 'just doing one's duty', that was heard time and again in the defence statement of the accused at Nuremberg. But it would be wrang to think of it as a thin alibi concocted for the occasion. Rather, it is a fundamental mode of thinking for a great many people once they are locked into a subordinate position in a structure of authority." {Milgram 1967, 6} Abstract: Stanley Milgram's work on obedience to authority is social psychology's most influential contribution to theorizing about Holocaust perpetration. The gist of Milgram's claims is that Holocaust perpetrators were just following orders out of a sense of obligation to their superiors. Milgram, however, never undertook a scholarly analysis of how his obedience experiments related to the Holocaust. The author first discusses the major theoretical limitations of Milgram's position and then examines the implications of Milgram's (oft-ignored) experimental manipula­ tions for Holocaust theorizing, contrasting a specific case of Holocaust perpetration by Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police. lt is concluded that Milgram's empirical findings, in fact, do not support his position-one that essen­ tially constitutes an obedience alibi. The article ends with a discussion of some of the social dangers of the obedience alibi. 1. Nazi Germany's Solution to Their J ewish Question Like the pestilence-stricken community of Oran described in Camus's (1948) novel, The Plague, thousands ofEuropean Jewish communities were destroyed by the Nazi regime from 1933-45.

    Zur Kontinuität Des Groß- Und Weltmachtstrebens Der Deutschen Marineführung

    Dokumentation Gerhard Schreiber Zur Kontinuität des Groß- und Weltmachtstrebens der deutschen Marineführung Kontinuität als geschichtswissenschaftliche Kategorie fragt zum einen, ob und wann ein historisches Kontinuum möglich ist, und sie beschreibt zum anderen — allgemein gesehen — eine geschichtliche Einheit, die auf der weitgehenden Identität der Mo- mente beruht, die in einem zeitlichen Längsschnitt zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt werden. Mit Kontinuität ist somit weder Kausalität noch Determiniertheit der histori- schen Entwicklung gemeint, sondern die Ähnlichkeit und die Erklärbarkeit des Späte- ren mit dem Früheren1. Mit einem derartigen Vorverständnis stellt die vorliegende Dokumentation die Frage nach der Sichselbstgleichheit der Machtpolitik im preußisch-deutschen Nationalstaat, dem Deutschen Reich zwischen 1871 und dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges2. Das eigentliche Untersuchungsfeld soll dabei — quasi idealtypisch — auf eine konservative Führungselite, die Marineführung3, eingeengt werden. Zur Diskussion steht die These, daß es zwischen den imperialistischen Zielsetzungen der Marine, wie sie späte- stens mit dem Beginn des Großflottenbaus zutage traten, und den Überlegungen zu einer deutschen Weltvorherrschaft, die im Dritten Reich in diesem Wehrmachtteil an- gestellt wurden, eine ungebrochene machtpolitische Kontinuität gab. Die dem spezifi- schen Denksystem der Marineführung immanente ideologische Kohärenz konkreti- sierte sich in diesem Zusammenhang vor 1918, vor 1933 und bis 1945 in der einem ri- gorosen Navalismus oder

    75 Years Ago, World War II Came to an End

    75 years ago, World War II came to an end. On this occasion, the Swiss Museum of Games presents a selection of games from the period. The games are dispatched in different rooms of the exhibition. But you will easily recognize them by their label showing the icon above. The games from the collection of the Swiss Museum of Games are historical sources. Illustrative, eloquent and sometimes disturbing, they inform us about the events and topics that interested people, their views and opinions, their tastes and values. The games that appeared in the years before and during the war were often misused for propaganda purposes, especially by publishers close to governments. These games were aimed at the general public, but also at soldiers. Soldiers and prisoners of war produced games as well as, in Switzerland, internees. The games certainly helped them to survive these difficult times. In 2014, we organized a special exhibition to mark the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the World War I. The war was already a theme in the games in 1914-18 and became one again in 1939-45. We wish you an enriching visit. Please, give us feedback in the guestbook or on our Facebook page.

    1 Vii: Roles of Physicians and Nurses in the “Medical” Experime

    1 VII: ROLES OF PHYSICIANS AND NURSES IN THE “MEDICAL” EXPERIMENTS RELATED TO “RACIAL HYGIENE” Professor Susan Benedict UT Health Science Center Houston, Texas, USA 77030 [email protected] 001-713-500-2039 Purpose of the Module: To describe the role of physicians and nurses in experiments that were based upon the notion of furthering the “science” of racial hygiene. Suggested Readings: Strzelecka, I. (2000). Experiments. In Auschwitz 1940-1945, vol. II, eds. Ditugoborski, W. and Piper, F., Oświᶒcim: Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, p. 347-369. Shelley, L. (1991). Block 10. In Crimnal Experiments on Human Beings in Auschwitz and War Research Laboratories: Twenty Women Prisoners’ Accounts. San Francisco: Mellen Research University Press, p. 22. Benedict, S. and Georges, J. (2006). Nurses and the sterilization experiments of Auschwitz. Nursing Inquiry, 13: 277-288. Suggested Videos: “Healing by Killing”, part 2. Objectives: 1. Discuss the evolution of the sterilization laws into the sterilization experiments. 2. Analyze why the “researchers” obtained written consent from the women in Block 3. Discuss the effects of the sterilization experiments on the population had the outcome of the war been different. Discussion Questions: 1. Why did the Prussian Directive of 1931, mentioned in Module 1, not prevent unethical experimentation? 2. If the physicians who conducted these medical experiments had been brought to trial, what would have been the likely charges and the likely sentences? Synopsis: Among the horrific experiments perpetrated upon concentration camp prisoners were the sterilization experiments. These experiments not only were based upon racial hygiene principles but also had the quasi-military goal of creating a cadre of slave laborers 2 who were to rebuild post-war Germany but who, because they were deemed “inferior,” would not be allowed to reproduce.

Katherine Wehby Grand Valley State University Frederick Meijer Honors College April 26, 2012 Wehby2 The leaders of the Third Reich used vast amounts of visual and written propaganda as a means for solidifying their political power, to create and glorify a national Aryan identity, and to perpetuate anti-Semitism which would lead to justification of violence against the Jews. The majority of Nazi propaganda is androcentric; focusing on glorifying Aryan men and demonizing Jewish men. Nazi propaganda lionized the work ethic and strong character of Aryan men and reified Jewish men as sly Shylocks aimed at seducing Aryan women and as the source of the economic downturn that plagued Weimar Germany as a result of the World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. The portrayal of women in propaganda works in a similar hierarchy, with Aryan women placed above Jewish women.

How Much Did the Germans Know about the Final Solution?: An Examination of Propaganda in the Third Reich by Melissa A. Braman In 1925, while Adolf Hitler was serving a short sentence in jail for his failed Beer Hall Putsch, he wrote in Mein Kampf, “With the year 1915 enemy propaganda began in our country, after 1916 it became more and more intensive till finally, at the beginning of the year 1918, it swelled to a positive flood.” Hitler, a soldier of World War I, had experienced firsthand the power of propaganda during the war. With the failure of Germany to counter-act the Allied propaganda, Hitler noted, “The army gradually learned to think as the enemy wanted it to.”1 Hitler applied this same concept to promoting the rhetoric of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP).
