Reading Assignment: Week of August 19, 2013

Purpose: (Monday-Thursday): I can annotate multiple testimonies to help me examine the relationship/connection between power and responsibility?  What happens when people are accused of crime? When do people deny or accept responsibility for their actions?  How can evaluate the credibility of someone's testimony?  * All texts will be available online soon. If you need a copy at home, email me, and I will send you the documents. 

On Monday, we read and annotated Rudolf Hoess' testimony of his involvement in the holocaust. He believed he was not responsible for the 4.4 million deaths he carried out because . . . 

On Tuesday, we read Adolf Eichmann's testimony involvement in the holocaust.  He believed he was not guilty of mass murder because . . . 

On Wednesday, we read the testimony of a Jewish prisoner at Auschwitz, who claim to have seen Eichmann . . . 

Eichmann's testimony was contradicted by . . .

Who is responsible?
