Cambodian Women and the Khmer Rouge
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the genocide that took place in Cambodia during the totalitarian regime of the Khmer Rouge in 1975-1979. Various empirical studies reported that Cambodian women experienced the most extensive trauma. These women were victims of physical violence, often of a sexual nature, perpetrated by their fellow citizens. They were exposed to multiple forms of emotional abuse, torture, and forced labor. Many witnessed the deaths or executions of their husbands, and most lost at least one, and often several, of their children. Extended kinship networks, so much a part of their cultural heritage and their everyday functioning, were destroyed. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Christopher Browning's "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland" discusses the reactive nature of men who are under the mental, emotional and physical strain of superior orders. The extent to which members of Reserve Battalion 101 opted to participate in the Nazi genocide, despite the fact they were given a choice, speaks volumes regarding the overwhelming influence Hitler had over ordinary men – artisans and working class police reservists untrained for such atrocities – who would otherwise never consider killing another human being.

Christopher Browning’s “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101” and Daniel Goldhagen’s “Hitler’s Willing Executioners
[ send me this paper ]
Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust: This 6 page report discusses these two books and compares their differing premises regarding the actions taken (or not taken) by “ordinary” German citizens during the Holocaust. Browning’s premise was that circumstances such as peer pressure, career promotion, and the mindless conformity of society led large numbers of common, everyday people to participate in murdering the Jews of Europe. On the other hand, Goldhagen claims that the well-established German tradition of an “eliminationist ideal” resulted in a type of anti-Semitism that was, in his opinion, a solely “German pathology.” No other sources.
