Abstract
This paper discusses how, at a time when the American government refused to open immigration up to the fleeing European Jews, many of the country?s most influential men were actively supporting Hitler. It looks at how American anti-Semitism at the time dominated everything from government agencies to Olympic athletics. It attempts to show how the government of a country, which hosted a network of powerful, anti-Semitic men, would fail to change its own anti-Semitic ways by looking at the some CEOs and major politicians involved with the U.S. side of the German Nazi movement.
From the Paper
"The U.S. Government, IBM, Ford Motor Company, colleges and universities, the Catholic Church and the 1936 U.S. Olympic Team all had influential leaders that manipulated power in a way that not only allowed the Holocaust, but also supported it. Without these men and other Americans, the scale of Hitler?s final solution would not have been possible. Because of personal beliefs and actions, powerful organizations played influential roles in the United States, but often what they were doing was contrary to the pro-Allied and pro-Jew stance America was believed to have taken. These men and their organizations sometimes remained neutral to Hitler, but were more often actively supporting his final solution."

Abstract
Using Browning's "Ordinary Men" and Rhode's "Masters of Death", the author explores the origins of the men who were responsible for the Holocaust, the SS-Einsatzgruppen and Reserve Police Battalion 101. The author believes that two different dynamics that drove these men to kill millions. Peer pressure and the situation drove some, but ultimately, an active decision to kill was required of every man.
From the Paper
"In an unfortunate relationship, the most intriguing events throughout the course of humanity are the most brutal and horrific. The Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis and Hitler?s Aryan race was quite certainly the most appalling event in modern history and the question of ?how did it happen? still stands today. Two recent works, Masters of Death and Ordinary Men, by Richard Rhodes and Christopher Browning, respectively, attempt to answer this query. Though both authors discuss the physical actualization of the mass murders, the more important topic between both is the work of Hitler?s most dastardly henchmen: the unlikely Heinrich Himmler?s pet SS-Einsatzgruppen and Reserve Police Battalion 101. However, the question is by no means of a single man?Hitler was quite obviously insane?but rather of the men who acted directly as the hand of God to cleanse the Reich. The Wehrmacht invaded territory after territory with devastating effect, but the Reichsf?hrer?s (Himmler?s) Einsatzkommandos and the Police Battalions followed with a single mission: stability through purification. The fundamental difference between Rhodes?s account and Browning?s is whether or not these men made any active decision to embody their orders and become pure executioners. Rhodes believes that the common soldiers?the men who actually dispatched the victims of the cleansing?at one point or another believed what they were doing was justified in some manner and thereby made a positive decision to take steps against civilians and accept execution as their profession. Browning asserts that the men of the Reserve Police Battalion were simply thrust into their acts of violence and lacked the time to consider their orders as heinous, a position that allowed many of them to continue the atrocities after being propelled into the fray. Essentially the Einsatzgruppen were bred for and accepted the role of slaughterers while the Reserve Police Battalion simply found themselves caught-up in a frenzy of death and continued on."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the Holocaust killed millions of Jews, Gypsies, and other ethnicities that didn?t fit the description of the super-race and how only the blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryans were accepted under Hitler?s order of ethnic cleansing. It examines how one of Adolf Hitler?s orders as leader of all Germany was to corral a large group of Jewish, Gypsy, and Russian prisoners on several different occasions and perform experiments on them as if they were animals or worse. It shows how prisoners were forced into deadly tests for the sole purpose of providing research information for the future technology and training of the Nazi military and how experiments were performed on the basis of high altitudes, extreme temperatures, disease, infection, genetics, battle wounds, and fertility.
From the Paper
"The freezing experiments performed by the SS doctors were just as disturbing as any other experiment. Men were strapped down to stretchers and lowered in large tubs of ice water or stuck outside in negative-degree weather. They were left until their body was at its limit, and then brought back inside. The experimentation began with the method of reheating the prisoners? bodies. Some were injected with boiling water into their veins. Most died after their internal organs melted over. Some were placed into warm baths and the temperatures were slowly increased. This seemed to be the most successful, though some died of shock if the temperature increased too rapidly."

Abstract
This paper explains that there are a number of factors that led to the Nazi seizure of power. The paper examines the events leading up to the Nazi party's victory, including: the democratic Weimar Republic had always governed on shaky ground; the Depression of 1929 only gave opposition parties more force with which to crush it and create an authoritarian state. The paper then explores the methods used by Hitler to take advantage of the current situation and gain control of the government. Finally the paper looks at Hitler?s extraordinary use of propaganda to further destroy democracy and sway the disorientated masses toward the Right.
From the Paper
"Through the use of unprecedented political exploitation, the Nazis were able to seize power in a country shattered by the failure of democracy and in the depths of a national crisis. The deep-seated weaknesses of the Weimar Republic were easily exploited in plunging the country into political crisis, and the Depression provided an essential backdrop for the radicalisation of the people toward extremist fringe parties. Hitler?s clever political manoeuvres both before and after 1929, which included joining the force against the Young Plan, and redirecting his energies toward rural Germany, combined with his unprecedented use of propaganda, however, proved to be the most essential factors in establishing the political force of the Nazis."

Anti-Semitism in 19th Century Europe, 2003.

Abstract
This paper examines the history of anti-Semitism in Europe during the 19th century. The paper explores the similarities between the anti-Semitic prejudices that engulfed France and Russia in the late nineteenth century and then shows how in France, anti-Semitism was largely a right-wing Catholic movement, peppered with socialist support in the aftermath capitalistic change. The paper also provides a broad definition of anti-Semitism in general.
From the Paper
"Anti-Semitism is not an ?identical phenomenon? similar to all countries, but rather based on individual national histories. The anti-Semitic prejudices that emerged in France and Russia in the late nineteenth century were both preceded by defeat in war, economic instability, and political change; circumstances exploited by the Judeo-phobic press and literature. However, while French anti-Semitism was derived from traditional religious dogmatism, and encouraged by the potent political force of anti-Republican Catholicism, the Russian experience was based on an ideological imperialism that was promoted by the government, and common to all ?true? Russians."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Dante's "Inferno" and Elie Wiesel's "Night" might seem like two disparate pieces of literature, but the author finds that three main themes unify them. The paper shows how both the characters undergo a long, arduous journey, as told in the first person. The narrations also tell of how they persevered through these hard times. Finally, they tell of how it wasn't necessarily what they did that led to their journey; it was what they didn't do.
From the Paper
"Night by Elie Wiesel and Inferno by Dante Aligheri can both be described as a journey through Hell. In their own ways, these two pieces of literature involve the main character?s trials and tribulations as they go through an unforeseen situation and how their perseverance ultimately leads them away from certain damnation. The further along they progress, there are many factors that would make the average person succumb to their own fate, but they remain faithful that they will make their way through. The three foremost parallels in Night and Inferno are the main characters journey through hell, the repercussions of not being proactive, and how determination is chief in the quest for freedom."

Abstract
This thesis argues that Holocaust denial is simply the craving for another Holocaust. It is a craving that basically pursues its objective via different tactics. The author feels that by erasing memory and employing moral relativism, combined with the same anti-Semitic caricatures that led to the Holocaust, holocaust denial institutes a certain social and political mind-set which, in turn, can facilitate the possibility of yet another Holocaust. In order to understand what Holocaust denial is about, it is mandatory to understand what the Holocaust was and why it came about. This essay examines both the Holocaust and the phenomenon of subsequent efforts to deny its historical reality.
