HIS 187 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Logical Consequence, Mass Shooting, Final Solution
Document Summary
November 7st first essay (either book analysis or the contested memories) Contested memory- how the event can be viewed in different ways. Joseph goebbels- minister of propaganda, dec 12 1941, after operation barbarossa fails. No hitler, no holocaust- probably but oversimplifies and incorrectly implies hitler solely responsible for it. No wwi, no holocaust- i believe this is not emphasized enough. Not only effected hitler but produced environment for him to flourish. Nazi euphemisms: (cid:862)je(cid:449)ish questio(cid:374)(cid:863) o(cid:373)ethi(cid:374)g had to (cid:271)e do(cid:374)e a(cid:271)out the je(cid:449)s. Solutions- measure undertaken to bring about a satisfactory and permanent end to said question. Removal- jews had to get out of the third reich one way or another. Resettlement- moving the jews to undisclosed destination. Paul schmidt- cleanse the jewish race to make german race healthy. I do not find the arguments it was a uniquely anti seminitic persuasive. I would agree that german political culture was susceptible to a charismatic dictatorship.
