As noted in the Final Solution Reading, “hundreds of thousands of people were involved, either directly or indirectly, implementing the ‘Final Solution’. In your opinion, were any of the people exempt from blame? Explain your thinking.
I think that everyone was involved and should be blamed and like it said people were either `directly or indirectly. I think that everyone had something to be blamed for, even if they weren’t directly involved. I mean if someone stood there and watched what was going on and knew it was wrong then that is something to blamed for.That's because that is being a bystander and thats probably worst or the same as doing this wrong thing. Being a bystander is like supporting the wrong thing and thats like doing the wrong thing. I also blame collaborators because they helped Nazis achieve their goals which were getting rid of Jews and being against Jews. According to a website I have looked up, it said that Heinrich Himmler is the number one person to blame because he was the one who set up the death camps and the concentration camps even though a lot of people think that Hitler is the number one person to blame but he actually isn’t - he is number two.
Most people to blame This a website that shows the top 15 people to blame.
I agree with you that everybody is to blame for the holocaust. The countries who knew about the final solution and did not try to stop it. Also the Germans who were not Nazi's who followed along with Hitler's beliefs of Jews. Although I do not agree with that Heinrich Himmler is number one and Hitler is number two. I believe that they are both equally to blame. Hitler for having the idea to exterminate all the Jews and Himmler for setting up the death camps.
