HW 28

A.1. Rudolf Hoss could be considered evil because of his role in the holocaust. He was in charge of creating places in which Jews and enemies of the state could be killed as efficiently as possible. He then had other Nazis remove anything valuable from the bodies.
A.2. Rudolf Hoss may not have been evil because he was doing what he was told to do by the Nazis, and because his perception was twisted by propaganda.

I agree with the intentionalist view of the holocaust. Hitler had said throughout his rise to power that he intended to exterminate the Jews. If the holocaust was, in fact, forced on Hitler, he still did everything he could to justify it, implying that it was the right thing to do.
