Holocaust Survivors and Nazi Soldiers
Braham covers the psychological as well as the philosophical allegations with respect to the Holocaust. The content of this book includes responses from people about the Holocaust as well as Christian anti-semitism. This book is essential in any psychological analysis of the effects of the Holocaust from a multitude of perspectives.
Echoes of the Holocaust. April 1, 2005. <http://www.holocaustechoes.com/5orwid3.html>
This journal of an experiment of Holocaust survivors provides evidence of actual effects of the Holocaust on the religious beliefs of the survivor. There were not many articles with documented experiments that focused on Holocaust survivors and their religions, so this article proved to be quite important in the analysis of religion in Holocaust survivors.
Kahn, Robert A. Holocaust Denial and the Law. New York: Palgrave MacMillan, 2004.
This book contains little psychological or religious analysis but gives a good background on Nazism. When attempting to understand the effects, both psychologically and religiously, one needs to gain a good background in the topic that one is attempting to analyze. I found that this brief background of Nazism was pertinent to my understanding of the effects of the Holocaust.
Krell, Robert and Sherman, Marc I. Medical and Psychological Effects of Concentration Camps on Holocaust Survivors. New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers, 1997.
Of all the books I found in my research, I found this reference to be extremely crucial in the search for the effects of the Holocaust on survivors. While researching it is easy to find religious justifications for the Holocaust, but this book was the most accurate source for finding the psychological effects on survivors. Vital sections covered in the text include historical accounts during and after the war, psychological observations of survivors, psychopathology, and medical conclusions about the Holocaust.
Luel, Steven and Marcus, Paul. Psychoanalytic Reflections on the Holocaust: Selected Essays. New York: Ktav Publishing, 1984.
This source again served as a pertinent source of psychoanalytical information pertaining to the Holocaust. Luel delves into the Nazi culture, which served as a religion to these people during the Holocaust, while attempting to explain the social uses of Nazi culture. More along the lines of psychology, Luel devotes a section to the damaging effects of the "Survivor Syndrome," along with sections which contain information on survivor thoughts and the aftermath of the Holocaust on Jews.
Nazism. April 2, 2005. <http://hallencyclopedia.com/Nazism>
While searching for views and information on connecting religion and Nazism, I happened to stumble upon this site. It has sections on relating Nazism to other concepts, which included religion. I found this compact section essential to my research on Nazism and religion.
Wistrich, Robert S. Hitler and the Holocaust. New York: Modern Library Edition, 2001.
Wistrich includes sections pertinent to a religious understanding of Anti-semitism, Hitler's views with respect to religion, as well as a religious justification for Anti-semitism. Primarily, this source focuses on Nazism as a religion but doesn't contain much on the psychology of Nazism.
