The purpose of this important book is to explore the phenomena of the low suicide rate in the concentration camps during the Holocaust, and why its survivors seem to become increasingly susceptible to suicide, as they grow older. This unique book explores this heretofore unexplored area of history by the case study method utilising the detailed biographies of famous survivors. People kill themselves usually because they are in deep despair, with no hope for the future. Surely the people in the concentration camps, especially those that were clearly extermination camps, would have been in deep despair with no hope for the future. But since they supposedly did not commit suicide at a high rate, they must not have been in such state. This puzzle of human behaviour is examined under the microscope of a well-known world expert on suicide.

"This accessible study examines the Holocaust's "forgotten victims" - Jews and other victims who suicided from 1939 to 1945. Using diaries, survivor memoirs, and survivor interviews, the manuscript places suicide victims and their experiences into the traditional Holocaust narrative. From considering what "suicide" means in the Holocaust context to considerations about suicide as resistance to Nazi persecution and murder, this study examines suicide in the Warsaw Ghetto and Nazi camps, especially Auschwitz. This study also explores the phenomenon from the standpoint of family and community relationships, motivations, and witness responses and attitudes to suicides. Close study of suicide among Holocaust victims can provide insights into how Jews experienced life and death under Nazi persecution. Readers will discover what led some ghetto inhabitants and camp prisoners to suicide and read about Jews who considered suicide in camps like Auschwitz and what prevented them from suiciding. Too few scholars have examined suicide among Jews during the Holocaust. This study hopes to bring focus to the topic and encourage further discussion among historians, sociologists, philosophers, literary scholars, students, and general audiences"--

This book, first published in 1981, is a study of the social and political sources of amoral political rule in modern times. Only a moral indifference unparalleled in history made the Holocaust possible, and by linking the German imperial ambitions to the meaningless suffering and death in the concentration camps, the true significance of the Holocaust is revealed in all its horror. Understanding this requires an understanding of the social forces that produced a national amorality among Germany’s elites. The author suggests three contributive causes: a marked ambiguity among Germans in their attitude towards social values; the development of a cadre characterized by status insecurity; and an inability to resolve internal conflict.

Reflects on the factors that determined both Germany's suicidal drive toward "empire building", i.e. toward the world war, and the Nazi policy of genocide. Argues that antisemitism by itself, or the psychopathologies of the perpetrators, as well as Hitler's dubious charisma and the German elites' doubtful ideological fervor, cannot explain the Holocaust. It was the moral indifference of the German elites that made the genocide possible. Reflects on the cultural and social sources of this national amorality. Its roots lie in the specific character of Germany's unification and industrialization in the late 19th century. The Wilhelmine Empire brought together dissimilar value communities, differing both from region to region and along class and status lines. The institutionalization of value dissensus, as well as the emergence of elite groups characterized by status insecurity (a result of rapid industrialization), brought about competition between elite groups, uncritical acceptance of work ethics, and the dehumanization of human beings in the perception of German bureaucracies.

Unlike Nazi medical experiments, euthanasia during the Third Reich is barely studied or taught. Often, even asking whether euthanasia during the Third Reich is relevant to contemporary debates about physician-assisted suicide (PAS) and euthanasia is dismissed as inflammatory. Physician-Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia: Before, During, and After the Holocaust explores the history of euthanasia before and during the Third Reich in depth and demonstrate how Nazi physicians incorporated mainstream Western philosophy, eugenics, population medicine, prevention, and other medical ideas into their ideology. This book reveals that euthanasia was neither forced upon physicians nor wantonly practiced by a few fanatics, but widely embraced by Western medicine before being sanctioned by the Nazis. Contributors then reflect on the significance of this history for contemporary debates about PAS and euthanasia. While they take different views regarding these practices, almost all agree that there are continuities between the beliefs that the Nazis used to justify euthanasia and the ideology that undergirds present-day PAS and euthanasia. This conclusion leads our scholars to argue that the history of Nazi medicine should make society wary about legalizing PAS or euthanasia and urge caution where it has been legalized.

The extraordinary German bestseller on the final days of the Third Reich One of the least understood stories of the Third Reich is that of the extraordinary wave of suicides, carried out not just by much of the Nazi leadership, but also by thousands of ordinary Germans, during in the war's closing period. Some of these were provoked by straightforward terror in the face of advancing Soviet troops or by personal guilt, but many could not be explained in such relatively straightforward terms. Florian Huber's remarkable book, a bestseller in Germany, confronts this terrible phenomenon. Other countries have suffered defeat, but not responded in the same way. What drove whole families, who in many cases had already withstood years of deprivation, aerial bombing and deaths in battle, to do this? In a brilliantly written, thoughtful and original work, Huber sees the entire project of the Third Reich as a sequence of almost overwhelming emotions and scenes for many Germans. He describes some of the key events which shaped the period from the First World War to the end of the Second, showing how the sheer intensity, allure and ferocity of Hitler's regime swept along millions. Its sudden end was, for many of them, simply impossible to absorb.
