A. Rudolf Hoss, the commander of Auschwitz, said at his trial in 1946...
1. Judging by the evidence you have studied in this chapter, explain in detail why Rudolf Hoss can be considered evil.
-I don't think that a person can be considered evil, because nobody can be totally pure evil. Maybe he could be considered a bad person however, for killing so many people, and seeing it as completely okay.
2. Suggest why he thought he was not evil, despite the things he did at Auschwitz.
-In his frame of mind, he has justified reasons for doing what he was doing. He wanted to create a pure race, and he saw this as a way of doing it. I think that in his logic, he was not evil, because its not like he just wanted to kill people for the fun of it. He had reasons which seemed to fit his actions, and I think that matters a tremendous amount.
