A. a majority of Germans were indifferent to the plight of the jews.
b. German soldiers in Eastern Europe generally opposed the anti-Semitic program.
c. Resistance to the Holocaust sparked attempts to assassinate Hitler.
D. most Germans were opposed to the concentration camps.
correct me if I'm wrong
My answer is D because that's what I understand in my book
I don't have your book, so don't know what it says. If that's what you think it says, then that's the answer your program or teacher probably wants. I would question that most were opposed to the concentration camps, but...
the correct answer is A i read it again
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each statement and use available research and historical evidence to come to a conclusion:
A. A majority of Germans were indifferent to the plight of the Jews:
Recent scholarship indicates that while there were certainly Germans who were complicit or indifferent to the plight of the Jews during the Holocaust, it is not accurate to say that a majority fit into this category. There were also Germans who actively participated in perpetrating the Holocaust, as well as Germans who resisted or helped Jews. Therefore, Statement A is not entirely accurate.
B. German soldiers in Eastern Europe generally opposed the anti-Semitic program:
There is evidence to suggest that German soldiers stationed in Eastern Europe sometimes opposed the anti-Semitic measures put forth by the Nazi regime, mainly due to factors such as witnessing the brutality of these policies firsthand or experiencing conflict with their military duties. However, it is important to note that this opposition did not necessarily equate to resistance against the Holocaust as a whole. Therefore, Statement B is partially accurate but not a comprehensive portrayal.
C. Resistance to the Holocaust sparked attempts to assassinate Hitler:
There were indeed attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler, particularly by individuals or groups within Germany who opposed the Nazi regime's actions, including the Holocaust. While resistance to the Holocaust played a role in some of these plots, it is important to recognize that opposition to Hitler and the regime's broader policies also factored into these assassination attempts. Therefore, Statement C is generally accurate.
D. Most Germans were opposed to the concentration camps:
Based on historical evidence, it is not accurate to conclude that most Germans during the Holocaust were actively opposed to the existence of concentration camps. While it is true that there were Germans who actively resisted or attempted to help individuals targeted by the Nazis, it cannot be generalized that most Germans opposed the concentration camps. Therefore, Statement D is not entirely accurate.
After analyzing the statements, the most accurate answer based on recent scholarship would be C, as there is clearer evidence supporting the assertion that resistance to the Holocaust sparked attempts to assassinate Hitler. However, it is important to recognize the complexity and individual variations within German society during this period, as the answer to such questions can vary depending on the sources consulted.
