The first and most used is the 'following orders' argument. There is also the claim that they were forced to, by threats to them or to others. There is the argument that what they were doing was right and legal at the time.
These in a way can be considered the same argument, but i presume that you want more detail: Many (or most) of those involved in the Holocaust were in the military, or paramilitary, where in theory disobeying an order carried consequences. As such they were the tool of those above them if this argument were to be taken ad absurdum, then only Hitler would have to take responsibility. This argument is not especially relevant to those civilians or members of civilian forces (like the police). This does not hold up very well as soldiers were not punished (by those above) for not wanting to carry out actions against civilians.
The argument of being forced to; is especially relevant to those victims who worked for the Germans, like the Jewish councils in the ghettos, or the Jewish sonderkommando in Auschwitz. They of course did have a choice; comply or die. Though this may not seem like a choice, a surprising amount of people chose the latter and if everyone had chosen the latter then the Germans would have had to seek an alternative. This argument was not upheld for the first decade or two after the war and those who used it were considered traitors or collaborators.
The Germans had endured a decade of Propaganda by the time of the Holocaust and had been told that Jews were subhuman and they had seen the laws and legislation that had been enacted. Society had deemed that this was the right course and to do anything else was to risk denouncement. The other arguments do not really describe the atmosphere of fear and doubt that many people lived in where even though there was no one forcing people at gun-point like in the previous cases, there was the worry that if people did not do what was expected, then they might end up in that situation soon.
The arguments for individual accountability are not over, recently in the news was the case of the French train drivers, they could not use any of the aforementioned arguments, but although without their actions French Jews would not have arrived at Auschwitz, they did not harm anyone themselves. There are more of these types of people than people who murdered by themselves.
1- What were the major arguments for and against U.S. entry into the Great War? What position do you find most persuasive? Why?
Antisemitism was one factor in the Holocaust, but not the basis of it. Antisemitism is a term used to denote a prejudice against Jews, much like sexism denotes a prejudice against a sex, or racism a prejudice against a race.
6 million Jewish people roughly and roughly 4 million other people were killed in the Holocaust. The term "Holocaust" means 'Death by fire', which was a method of killing some of the Death Camps used against its prisoners.
In the vast majority of countries, including the US and UK, there is no law against Holocaust denial. In Germany, Austria and some other countries, public denial of the Holocaust is banned on the grounds that it is tantamount to an attempt to rehabilitate the Nazis (with a view to restoring them) and on the grounds that it is a form of Jew-baiting. Please see the link.
None for thier political beliefs. People only died in the Holocaust for being Jewish. The Nazis were responsible for killing political opponents even before they were elected (as they also suffered losses), the actions against political opponents pre-date the Holocaust and most of the actions completed by then.
There is no rational justification for Holocaust denial.
Arguments against economic integration world leader command?
There are no real, good arguments against planning. Having a plan is important in many cases.
presumably you mean by the Catholics against the Jews; it was called the Holocaust. Though what happened in Yugoslavia was independent of the Holocaust, the victims are counted in with the victims of the Holocaust.
are you for or against voluntary work
There are many arguments for and against DNA evidence. One argument is that it cannot be disproved as deciding evidence.
Celibacy is abstinence from sex or sexual relations. There are arguments for it to protect people from unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and religious purity. There are arguments against it saying that it is restrictive and that it goes against following the laws of nature.
The arguments against declaring independence were that the declaration of independance would lead to war and the colonist would not be faithful
"The evidence for evolution countervails over the arguments against it." THis means that evidence for evolution counteracts the arguments against it.
