This is Arendt's "banality" of evil. Few of the people here are the "monsters" we're told about. Most of them are regular humans, petty, ambitious, loving husbands, loyal, dutiful. And horrid. To this reader therefore, it was a new approach to that of an extensive array works previously read. medium_large' => 'https://www.mountfaberleisure.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/membership-icon-4.png',

Among other things, we learn that the earliest experiments in genocide required executioners to shoot their victims with rifles, one-on-one. Not very effective. We also learn that German soldiers did not face severe consequences if they refused to participate. The careerist would lose his career, of course, but otherwise they were reassigned without prejudice. wedding-event-ideas-gallery' => 'https://www.mountfaberleisure.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/MicrosoftTeams-image-22.png',

Which had to be cleaned up and which resulted in blowing dust and insects. sustainability-video-thumb' => 'https://www.mountfaberleisure.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/membership-icon-4.png',

The men write of their experiences in a manner that does affect them but they still continue to do "the work" of dropping Zyklon-B into the gas chambers as they comment on the "excellent" food in the officers commissary at Auschwitz. sustainability-video-thumb' => 'https://www.mountfaberleisure.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/membership-icon-5.png', I'm being somewhat generous. It should probably be 2 stars, but there was a wealth of pictures & drawings that I've never seen elsewhere. The book did have its good points, too. Unfortunately, it tried too hard to live up to the title. Without specific spoilers however, in general I found the work to be a disappointment. I had no interest in reading about accommodation standards, what people ate or of the internal politics and positioning that happens within any group of people. Perhaps I was expecting more insight, or more consistent insight, into the minds of those who were there. Into the minds and motivations of those who were engaged in actions. Who perpetrated the outcomes. wedding-event-icon' => 'https://www.mountfaberleisure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Group-1052-40x32.png',

However and I indeed very very strongly must and have to agree wth author Otto L. Bettman in this respect that according to his book title The Good Old Days--They Were Terrible!. For even though Bettman's featured text for The Good Old Days--They Were Terrible! might perhaps be considered just a trifle overly morose, depressing and focussing much too heavily on the negatives, with seemingly no textual place at all allowed for anything even remotely positive regarding 19th century America, the salient fact does remain that the teeming with horror, pain and hardship themes and contents, that the information and the details shown by Otto L. Bettman in The Good Old Days--They Were Terrible! are not only brutally honest but also totally and absolutely reflect sad but true historical reality and are therefore also in no way Bettman either exaggerating or not showing the truth.

Seeking also established that there were VERY few copies available for sale in Australia, and this that were, were excessively priced and to be found within specialist retailers of whom all but one were on line. So, no public copies, niece retailers and excessively priced. This added to “interesting”. restaurant-featured-image' => 'https://www.mountfaberleisure.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/membership-icon-5.png', This was not an easy book to read, and I just couldn't just read thru it - I had to take breaks from it, just because reading sections that were either reports of one Nazi to his superior reporting the execution of all the Jews in a town and how many been executed in each town; or the diary entries of some low ranked soldier, about what was happening on the Nazi side of WWII and the executions of the Jews, while he also worried if his girlfriend would wait for him, etc; or letters of a soldier written to his wife and family -well it just could not be read in just one or two days. Frankly, it was a little rough to stomach. Don't get me wrong, it was very interesting or eye opening to read the words of the different Germans (yes, translated to English) but, reading them while already knowing the history of the Holocaust and WWII, it was just difficult to stomach some times. Also there were many graphic pictures -naked Jewish women standing out side in the cold, waiting for their turn to be executed or the pictures of ditches filled with naked bodies, etc. wedding-event-ideas-featured-image' => 'https://www.mountfaberleisure.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/membership-icon-5.png',
