Document Summary

Polish jews fled eastward into russia before nazi genocide could reach them. Polish jews killed in various ways (i. e. battle, rounded up and shot, concentration camps, gas chambers, while in slavery) They just developed deep loyalty to one another they felt that they had to get their assigned job done or face letting down their comrades. They committed atrocities partly bc they just wanted to maintain group morale, solidarity, and loyalty. Structures of authority tend to render people obedient: most people find it hard to disobey authorities bc they fear ridicule, ostracism, and punishment, milgram"s shock experiment with confeds. Nature of groups and bureaucracies made it possible for nazis to kill innocent people so ruthlessly. We often make rational calculations to maximize gains and minimize losses. Deeply held emotions partly govern our behaviour. 4 kinds of social collectivities shape our actions: netowrks, froups, bureaucratic orgs, and whole societies.
