HW 28

Hoss can be considered evil because of the fact that he was full aware of the atrocities committed at Auschwitz and did nothing to stop them. Not only did Hoss not try to stop the torture and outright genocide occurring at Auschwitz, but he developed way to make it more efficient in terms of the number of people that could be killed at once. Hitler's propaganda was so deep-seeded that it was able to convince normal people that Jews were in fact not human beings and could be killed or tortured with no moral repercussions. Hoss considered his actions to be fine seeing as they both fit with his indoctrinated mind and coincided with the orders from his commanders.
