Comparative Essay Homework: The End of WWII- Ethics and Experience
Write a minimum 1500 word double-spaced, error-free essay fully responding to the following prompt:
It could be said that, at heart, the story of the "Final Solution" to the Jewish Question is the story of a total breakdown in the realm of human relationships and the ethics governing those relationships.
Assess this claim through a comparative analysis of both assigned course texts by Wiesel and Levi, specifically considering the following questions:
I. What does each author say about this breakdown?
II. What are the key narrative moments that mark this breakdown in each author's memoir?
III. Were there relationships that survived this breakdown, and, if so, how does each author-and how would you-describe them and their value?
It is important that your answer address both perpetrator and victim perspectives on/experiences of the Holocaust. While your answer should primarily utilize the books by Wiesel and Levi, you may refer directly and explicitly, with proper citation, to secondary sources such as Rubenstein & Roth and/or class lectures, as well as to other primary sources such as those found in Hochstadt-remember to include both the original source and the page number in Hochstadt in your citation.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
• The answer must be using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, typed, with one-inch margins on all sides.
• The response also includes a cover page containing the student's name, the title of the homework, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
• Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
