Book Description
During the beginning of the First World War in 1914, after Germany declared war on France, some friends who managed to escape from Belgium brought with them the stories of German frightfulness that filled all hearers with horror. Being unwilling to accept their testimony without further evidence, Congregationalist minister, writer, and philosopher Newell Dwight Hillis began his own research, collecting letters, magazine articles, testimonies of eye-witnesses, books, photographs, reports of the various commissions. This work contains a simple record of the raw facts. Although many carefully studied atrocities could not be presented in this report because the witnesses reasonably feared that their families, just behind the German lines, might be made to suffer were their testimony to become known. The first two chapters represent the substance of addresses given in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Indianapolis, and some thirty other cities connected with the Second Liberty Loan. The third, to an extent, presents views of addresses in Cincinnati, Louisville, New Orleans, Houston, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Butte, Denver, and thirty other cities during the First Liberty Loan. Contents German Atrocities, Their Nature and Philosophy The Pan-German Empire Scheme, for Which Germany Lost Her Soul What the United States and Her Allies are Fighting For Astounding Claims and Records From German Sources Illustrations Portraying German Atrocities

War Crimes
Author: Matthew Talbert
Publisher:
ISBN: 019067587X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
Why do war crimes occur? Are perpetrators of war crimes always blameworthy? In an original and challenging thesis, this book argues that war crimes are often explained by perpetrators' beliefs, goals, and values, and in these cases perpetrators may be blameworthy even if they sincerely believed that they were doing the right thing.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Some historians have traced a line from Germany’s atrocities in its colonial wars to those committed by the Nazis during WWII. Susanne Kuss dismantles these claims, rejecting the notion that a distinctive military ethos or policy of genocide guided Germany’s conduct of operations in Africa and China, despite acts of unquestionable brutality.

Hitler's Willing Executioners
Author: Daniel Jonah Goldhagen
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307426238
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 656
Book Description
This groundbreaking international bestseller lays to rest many myths about the Holocaust: that Germans were ignorant of the mass destruction of Jews, that the killers were all SS men, and that those who slaughtered Jews did so reluctantly. Hitler's Willing Executioners provides conclusive evidence that the extermination of European Jewry engaged the energies and enthusiasm of tens of thousands of ordinary Germans. Goldhagen reconstructs the climate of "eliminationist anti-Semitism" that made Hitler's pursuit of his genocidal goals possible and the radical persecution of the Jews during the 1930s popular. Drawing on a wealth of unused archival materials, principally the testimony of the killers themselves, Goldhagen takes us into the killing fields where Germans voluntarily hunted Jews like animals, tortured them wantonly, and then posed cheerfully for snapshots with their victims. From mobile killing units, to the camps, to the death marches, Goldhagen shows how ordinary Germans, nurtured in a society where Jews were seen as unalterable evil and dangerous, willingly followed their beliefs to their logical conclusion. "Hitler's Willing Executioner's is an original, indeed brilliant contribution to the...literature on the Holocaust."--New York Review of Books "The most important book ever published about the Holocaust...Eloquently written, meticulously documented, impassioned...A model of moral and scholarly integrity."--Philadelphia Inquirer
