...This movie depicted Hitler’s beliefs of an ideal nation. Also during this time, the Nazis established a set of laws called Nuremberg Laws. These were created to set rules and regulations for all of those who wanted to be apart of the Reich. The Nuremburg laws were the first standards set for individuals to figure out if they were apart of the Nazi nation or not. By using a new creation of film to reach a broad audience and publishing Nazi expectations through law, Triumph of the Will and the Nuremberg Laws both reflect Nazi efforts to shape it’s nation through the use of propaganda and national symbols, creating a welfare program with security of jobs, and identifying what it is to be a Jew. One way the Nazi party sought to bring together Germany as a community was through the use of propaganda and national symbols. The movie, Triumph of the Will, had a great deal of propaganda incorporated in it. It showed hatred of communists through the use of the color red. There were also a variety of images related to religion throughout the movie such as: burning torches, sacred images. These religious images were correlated to the re-birth of Germany as well as the relief of suffering. The Nuremburg Laws also had references to national symbols. For examples, Jews were allowed to practice their religion and fly the Jewish flag, but were forbidden from flying the Reich flag. The laws also state, “The Reich and national flag is the swastika flag. It is also the...

...Business Research Ethics RES/351 University of Phoenix Business Research Ethics Unethical medical business research has occurred throughout time, and is particularly punctuated by the experiments conducted by at least 23 Nazi physicians on Jews, political prisoners, and the physically and mentally handicapped during World War II. Unethical medical procedures were performed without the knowledge, consent, or protection of the subjects (University of Phoenix, 2011, Week One Reading). Advancement in medicine requires testing on humans and animals; however, medical research is considered unethical if the testing is performed against the will of the subjects. During World War II, Nazi doctors performed up to 30 different experiments on concentration camp prisoners that caused the victims intense pain, mutilation, permanent disability, and at worst, death (Tyson, 2000). Many of the experiments were conducted to improve the performance of the German military personnel, to multiply the Aryan race, and to develop vaccines for diseases. Some of the experiments included studying the effects of high altitude on the brain, monitoring bodily reactions to freezing temperatures, infecting victims with bacteria or gas gangrene in inflicted battlefield-type wounds, and injecting poisons. Others included amputation to attempt bone, muscle, and joint transplantation, sterilization, and artificial insemination (Tyson, 2000). The sum of concentration camp victims...

...1919-1945 (this was the government of Germany). The Weimar Republic was not popular in Germany, because it was the government of their past enemy, but many of the Allies would enjoy having. When Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, the Third Reich was much more effective than the Weimar Republic, which lead to its decline in 1945. During the time of the Weimar Republic other events had taken place that changed the course of the Holocaust. The First was the Nuremburg Laws, which began in 1935. The new laws were pressed upon the Jewish population because of the widespread racial Nazi ideals, which were given during the Annul Party Rally in Nuremburg. These laws stated that no German-Jew could marry of have any relations with a person of German blood. The laws also declared that if you had three or more Jewish grandparents, you would be treated as a Jew. The Nuremburg Trials, on the other hand, were a set of 13 trials accusing the defendants including the Nazi Party Officials of crimes against peace and humanity. During these Nuremburg trials Hermann Goering said these word: “Why, of course people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common...

...Eric Snyder History 300W Reign of Terror: German Public Opinion of the Jews 1933-1939 Historian Marc Bloch describes history as something that is “progressive which constantly transforms and perfects itself.” There are many different opinions that persist in pre-war Nazi Germany. There is the opinion of the Jewish people living in Germany, the opinion of the Nazis living in Germany under the command of Adolf Hitler, and there is the opinion of the German people who were not Nazis which this paper is focused on. Events such as Kristallnacht positively affected the opinion of the Jewish people to the German public during pre-war Nazi Germany. The Chancellor of Germany from 1933-1945 was Adolf Hitler, an outspoken anti-Semitic man who was an accomplished mimic, an excellent actor, and “used language in a way that was untranslatably funny.” Hitler believed that the Jewish people were inferior to his Aryan race. Hitler believed that race was not only defined by skin color or heritage, it was defined by an elitist set of criteria that had to be met such as a person’s religion, or ideals. As a result, any intermingling or marriage or offspring made by an Aryan and any other race was downright wrong in Hitler’s eyes. He says of intermingling of the races that, “If Nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such a case all her efforts, throughout hundreds...

...When looking for information concerning the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, there is a small assortment of books to choose from. I chose The Tuskegee Syphilis Study by Fred Gray because he was the lawyer in the lawsuits against the government, and I thought that he would be able to provide the most in-depth analysis of the event because he was actually involved in it. It was also written fairly recently, so that enables the book to analyze the long term effects that it has had on African-Americans, the South, and history in general. Gray’s book provides a very informative study, but if you’re looking for more information, check out James Jones’ Bad Blood. Gray takes a lot of information from this book which was written about 20 years before his. When searching the web for information on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, the results were quite slim. Most of the results involved syllabi for college classes or websites much like our own that were prepared for a class. The website that I reviewed is from the Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics, which was actually created from President Clinton’s apology and ideas for improvement of racial relations and medical testing. The webpage’s main purpose is to educate the public about the atrocities that were performed on African-Americans in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and to help prevent an event like this from ever happening again The Tuskegee Syphilis Study by Fred D. Gray examines a medical study that occurred in Tuskegee...

...Mixed marriages beteen Aryans and non-Aryans brought a threat to the power of the Nazi regime. While groups such as Jews, Sinti and Roma, and homosexuals were an easy target for exploitation, intermarriage made it difficult for Germans to exploit the non-Aryan partner’s since the Aryans partner usually fought for their non-Aryan partner. Germans did not stop exploitation until it was their family members that were targeted. Nazis did not like the idea of kinship and family ties. This dislike lead the Nazis to pass the Nuremburg laws that prohibited the marriage between and Aryan and a non-Aryan to protect the purity of the German blood. This law faced many complications since there were many mixed Jews living in Germany and many more thinking getting married to a Jew. A movie that highlighted the fate of a mischlinge, a mixed child of an Aryan and non-Aryan, and a young mixed married couple was Rosentraasse. Movies are a medium that encompasses a long story in typically shorter time, where a book can cover longer history. Movie directors are in some ways translators of texts or their subjects; therefore, they have the ability to add or delete parts they prefer from a piece of writing. While the movie...

...Did Martin Luther Inspire Adolf Hitler? For many centuries, the world has been afflicted by the plague of anti-Semitism. This hatred presented itself in the rise of Nazism and the murders of six million Jews: the Holocaust. An eight-step plan meant to remove all of the Jews from European society would be easily associated with the Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. It would not, however, be so readily connected to Martin Luther. However, in a 1543 essay "Concerning the Jews and their Lies," Luther outlined such a plan. This does not necessarily suggest that Luther was analogous to Hitler in action or deed, but rather that Luther, the spark of the Protestant Reformation and father of German nationalism, and his teachings had a profound impact on the anti-Semitic thinkers that came to follow (Prager 106). It is possible that Hitler and Luther shared a common ideological base. Luther's attitude toward the Jews is confusing. He made a drastic transition during the course of his life and writings from sympathy to hateful fear. Early in his Protestant writings, Luther composed an essay entitled "That Jesus Christ Was Born A Jew". In it Luther calls for tolerance, compassion, and peaceful conversion. "...they [Catholics] have dealt with the Jews as if they were dogs and not human beings" (Luther "That" 33). Luther thought that if he made a new, purified Christianity, Jews would more readily convert (Patterson 16). Only through a demonstration of the scriptural basis, however...

...The International Criminal Court: Idealpolitik vs. Realpolitik and the special case of the United States ABSTRACKT The Rome Statute that was adopted on July 17st 1998 was a controversial treaty that despite initial backing from great and small powers alike ended up facing fierce opposition for a number of reasons. Internationally it was widely accepted that there was a need to stem the tide of an ever-increasing number of human rights violations and that the institution best suited for achieving this goal, following the relative successes of ad hoc criminal tribunals, could be a permanent International Criminal Court, ICC. This essay will attempt to clarify the contrasting ideas and interests of key actors that ultimately shaped the compromise that became the Rome Statute of the ICC. It will go on to assess the relative influence of idealpolitik - that is the altruistic idealism embedded in a genuine desire to create a court to bring an end to the reality of perpetrators of war crimes escaping justice - and realpolitik - the realist notion of national interest and power politics as the main catalysts behind the politics of the Rome Statute. The judicial powers entrusted to the ICC became, as stated above, a matter of compromise. The final text of the Rome Statute was the result of intense negotiations that revolved around the concepts of national sovereignty and security politics on the one hand and the desire of non-great powers to establish a court with as much authority...

...order for one to truly understand the Holocaust, one must understand how Hitler rose to power and killed so many people in such little time. Within a year and a half, Hitler and the Nazis Party had taken absolute power of Germany. It became possible to arrest opponents of the regime and lock them up with no charge filed, no warrant and no real evidence. The first concentration camp Dachau was opened in March 1933 to hold all the prisoners (Wood 42). In August 1933 Hitler declared himself both president and chancellor of the Third Reich and commander-in-chief of the military (Nelson, English.illinois.edu). Hitler now had totalitarian dictatorial power. In 1935 German Congress passes the Nuremburg Laws which redefine German Jews as non-citizens and ban Jews from any political participation. These laws prohibited Jews from marrying German citizens, having extramarital relations with German citizens and prohibited any Jew from raising the German flag (Unknown,...

...Why did the Germans allow the Nazi party to take control? During an economic crisis and atmosphere of distress, the Germans found stability, security, and promise in the Nazis intentions and orderly measures, therefore, allowing them to take control. Beginning in the 1930’s Hitler’s Nazi Party exploited discontent in Germany to attract political support. There was a lot of resentment at the economic terms of the Versailles Treaty. In which Hitler blamed politicians and made promises to overturn it. Since the Weimar public was in a weak coalition government and political crisis, the Nazi party had offered a strong leadership and a rebirth of the nation. From 1929 and from there on, the economic depression provoked an inflation, social unrest,...

...K. Wade Radomske Germ 380 Dr. Josiah Simon 18 November 2015 Afro-Deutsche In his autobiography Colin Powell, the only black person to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. Military, said this in his Autobiography “...black GIs, especially those out of the South, Germany was a breath of freedom--they could go where they wanted, eat where they wanted, and date whom they wanted, just like other people. The dollar was strong, the beer good, and the German people friendly...". He makes it seem like paradise for the black community, and in some ways it may have been but it wasn’t completely, and it wasn’t always that way. Germany’s black-history isn’t particularly long, but it is tumultuous. The majority of black-history in Germany starts after WWI when an influx of French-Senegalese occupation soldiers and their families moved to the Rhineland in Germany. Compared to the United States, Germany was a relatively welcoming place for blacks in the 1920’s and many American musicians and entertainers took their skills to Berlin and other major cities where Jazz was on the rise. Throughout the 1920s Jazz became a very prominent part of German entertainment and nightlife. With the introduction of the radio, German’s had easy access to the American greats they idolized such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. The Weimar Republic, as Germany was known at the time, associated jazz with the modern era of progressivism. This more tolerable environment didn’t last long however...

...University NRS-433V Introduction to Nursing Research May 19, 2014 (O103) Ms. Angie Lawson June 12, 2014 Protection of Human Participants CRITICAL APPRAISAL GUIDELINES: QUANTITATIVE STUDY Protection of Human Participants There are many forms of benefits and risks that the author had addressed pertaining to the protection of human participants. One method of studying diseases was by infecting individuals with the same disease causing pathogen to check to see the outcome. This is very dangerous to the humans because many of the times the outcome can result in death. This method was used in the time periods from 1940-1970’s. In many cases, prisoners were the individual who were used for these studies. In more recent time periods there are many laws and government related rules that prohibit certain forms of tests on humans. The author did not mention many technology related advances in the protection of human participants concerning things such as gear. The advancement and uses of certain types of gear make it safer and be cautious about the health of the participant. The individuals that are a part of the study were not always chosen by their own will especially during the early stages of studies. In later stages participants chose whether or not they would like to get involve with the tests. Data Collection The independent and dependent variables are identified in the experiments. The independent variable describes the factor that being changed in the experiment. The independent...

...he gained had little to nothing to do with and Anti-Semitism beliefs the party had, because ‘depriving the Jews of making a living would hurt the economic recovery”. (Gellately 4) Hitler at first openly attacked the communist party in order to save Germany from “the Marxist Attack” and would eliminate any political rivals. On March 23, 1933 Hitler was able to successfully pass the Enabling Act stating the need for “the moral purification of the body politic”. (Gellately 13) The Reichstag Fire Decree reveals that Hitler’s political and social agenda is more than dealing with Communism and unemployment, but also evolves the purification of Germany. Hitler’s quest for racial purity would eventually lead to the 1935 Nuremburg Rally, where he would announce his laws against the Jews and any...
