While watching Resi Kraus getting interviewed I was extremely taken back. I found it really interesting that Kraus “didn’t remember” that she wrote that letter , and tried to act like she didn’t do it. I think that she herself knew that what she did was wrong and her laughing it off or saying it was wrong was her way of coping with the situation, and when those methods didn’t work she got defensive saying that she didn’t kill anyone. When in reality she did.
I think anybody in Resi Kraus position would pretended not to have written the letter. Maybe she changed her way of thinking and its humiliated to think that she once was like that. Maybe it makes he feel better pretending it never happened or "she doesn't remember". It was very wrong what she did however logically most people would never own up to their mistakes. What she wrote on the letter accusing her neighbor and talking bad about her was unbelievably wrong and she knows that...now which is why she doesn't remember the letter she doesn't want to.
I also agree with Mary that even if she clams to not remember she should have taken it more seriously and not have laughed it off.
The fact that Resi Kraus wrote the letter ratting out her neighbor who “looked Jewish” was just as shocking as her reactions to it in the interview. I know that many neighbors of Jewish people reported them to the Gestapo, but this instance was disgusting to me, because she said how she didn’t kill anybody because of it. I think this reaction was clearly her covering up her deed, while she knew that it was her that sent her neighbor to her death. Resi Kraus is one of the many people who were convinced by Hitler that the Jews were vermin, and she went out of her way to report her neighbor because of these ideas being drilled into her mind. It really surprised me how after all these years, she believed that she did nothing wrong, but she is only one of many who still have these beliefs today.
I agree with Mary. Her nervous laughter was a way for her to cope with what she was being accused of. But it was very chilling when she laughed because she was saying she didn’t write the letter, yet she had, so it sounded like an evil laughter in a way to me.
While watching the BBC documentary, the Rise of the Nazis - A Warning from history, I found that it exceptionally identified the kind of mindset the Nazis had, along with showing the horrific events that had occured during that time. Now, the interview with Resi Kraus was something very eye-opening and I think important to consider. During the time the holocaust was taking place, the Nazis and their supporters very OPENLY hated the jews. That part is well known, but considering Resi Kraus in her interview as a clear supporter, still, of the Nazis, her prolonged low-life views on jews have not changed since. That was made clear in her ability to LIE when she was faced with the question of killing someone. To make odds worse, she had a very wicked, and disturbing laugh when asked the questions over and over. Kraus probably chose laughter in that interview, because it served as a defense mechanism as her way to dealing with the questions being placed upon her, just as Mary had said on her post. Though, I don't agree with Mary's reasoning following it. I believe that the reason she might have laughed it off was not due to her acknowledgment of wrong doing, but the intentions she had of saving herself/her identity from being caught in a lie. This is what I believe, because in my opinion, a person who still refuses to admit to the truth, after facts and evidence are placed in front of them, like her signature in the letter, would probably only think to save themselves and their own identity. Thus, having no admiration or consideration of others' respect, feelings and life. Sadly, the same concepts still apply to the way the Nazis thought and felt back then, and since Kraus felt amused by the silly questions, not really giving a damn to even answer ONE, it stands clear that her mindset has not changed, and still remains the same as to the Nazis'. Astonishing as it was to see this segment, I deeply felt that it was very necessary and appropriate to have been watched. This gives us, the student body, the opportunity to come out of our own sheltered world, and view the world for what it REALY is in all its entirety. This video taught me that unfortunately, not everyone on this earth is capable of change. That all being said, I felt that this segment was very beneficial.
I agree with Mary about the interview with Resi Kraus. She did not own up to her letter knowing it was an awful thing. The comment about her not killing anyone was the most shocking to me because she played a part in getting her neighbor sent to the concentration from her judgment. She didn't think what she did was wrong because she was not the one doing the physical act, but in reality, the letter was a factor in her death. By changing the subject, she was avoiding the truth and the reality of the situation, knowing what she did was wrong, but not fessing up. Resi Kraus could be feeling guilty for what she did, therefore trying to avoid it, but there is no excuse.
The way Resi Kraus acted in her interview did not really surprise me. I would have liked her to be more open to what she had done and accepting the consequences, but I can also sympathize with her. She new that what she did was wrong a clearly regrets doing it. I thought it was a little mean of the interviewer to continue to try to expose her when she clearly just wanted to put her past life behind her.
During the entire documentary, I was troubled by the current sentiments people have regarding the Holocaust. Some still believe that what they did was okay. I was really upset by Resi Kraus's interview. First, she reported her neighbor for looking Jewish. Simple prejudices such as this enabled the killing of 6 million people, by having such a negative mentality. She agreed that the signature on the report was hers and that Resi Kraus is indeed her name, but she did not file the report. Then immediately after she blames her interviewer for digging up the past and saying that it was 50 years ago. She further frustrates me by then commenting that she did not kill anybody. She actually did, though. She enabled the killing of innocent people based on a mere judgment and the fact that her neighbor does not worship Hitler. Resi Kraus stated that she did not join the Hitler Youth for Girls, but this did not make up for the fact that she enabled this mass murder. In the conclusion of the interview, she comments on the weather, as if the weather and Holocaust are both casual occurrences.
I agree with Laryssa, everyone has mad decisions in their lives that they are not proud of, and no one wants to be asked about their past decisions in an interview.
I disagree with Laryssa. If I was in Resi Kraus's situation with neighbors that "looked Jewish," I would not have written the letter in the first place and then if I did for fear, which is most likely her excuse, then I would own up to my actions realizing they are wrong instead of maintaining the sense of disrespect she clearly still displays.
I was very shocked to learn that Resi Kraus denied everything and said that she didn't kill anyone. I understand that some people who were involved in the killing of the Jews probably don't see much wrong with it because that was the mindset of the time, but people involved should be able to admit to what they did. Whether or not they are proud of it, they should own up to what they were involved in.
I thought that Resi Kraus was extremely rude during her interview. The way she totally denied the letter, and killing anyone, when really she did, through the letter, makes me really ashamed for her.
I agree with what Mary said. 'laughing it off' and denying the situation may have been easiest for her, but it is not the right thing to do. It was extremely rude and uncalled for.
I thought that is was clear from the way that Resi Kraus acted during the interview that she was ashamed of what she did. I think that even though she said that she didn't kill anybody, she knew deep down that she was responsible for what happened to her neighbor because of what she wrote in that letter.
I thought it was pretty creepy the way she laughed after knowing that she lied and what she did to an innocent person was wrong. I don't understand how she can say she didn't kill anyone when she basically sent this girl to her death by writing a false letter. She recognizes her name signature and address on the letter but fails to admit her mistake and instead questions how someone could incriminate her like that. It makes
I agree with what Greg said. Even though I would have been more sympathetic towards Resi Kraus if she had taken responsibility for what she did, it seemed like she was ashamed of her actions and I can understand why she would want to deny doing something like that.
Before watching the interview with Rasi Kraus, I was expecting to see someone confess to something awful they had done and show remorse. But when I saw the Reaction Rasi Kraus had to the reporter I was not surprised one bit. I myself can't understand what she was feeling at the time but I can imagine feeling extremely guilty and not wanting to admit this awful thing I had done.
I agree with Greg. Although I wasn't surprised by Rasi Kraus's reaction, i wish she would have actually explained to the reporter her thoughts and feelings at the time. I am interested to hear what some people like Rasi Kraus have to say for themself and whether or not they still stand by their descision today.
I thought that the interview with Resi kraus was disgusting. I couldnt believe that someone who had written a letter that resulted in someone being killed could be in complete denial of what they had done. I think its sad that she hasnt been able to come to terms with the fact that the Nazis killed as many people as they did.
I found Resi Kraus' total denial of writing the document very disconcerting. She had proof staring her in the face the whole time and she could not admit to herself or the person interviewing her that her actions had led to an innocent persons death.
I agree with Kissila, I think that Resi Kraus's views havent changed since she wrote the letter to the gestapo and that she will probably never change her outlook on what happened.
Kraus is in denial about turning in her neighbor to the Gestapo. She wrote letters to the secret police saying that her neighbor was suspicious and different, and of having Jewish friends. When the interviewer shows her the documents that she signed she said that it was "rubbish" about signing the paper and writing those things about her neighbor even though it is her signature and address. She tells the interviewer that she cannot explain the documents and quickly changes the subject to the weather. It is absolutely unbelievable that she is in denial and doesn't blame herself directly for her neighbor's death because she didn't kill anyone. She did kill her neighbor and she had no evidence to support her accusations.
I share the same level of shock and amazement that Michayla has about Kraus about how she believed she did nothing wrong reporting her neighbor to the Gestapo. I personally still find it hard to believe that people would hand in their neighbors and report them as looking Jewish because Hitler believed they were vermin. The way that Hitler was able to influence people into believing Jews were the cause for their troubles I think were only possible because Germany was in such a bad economic state after the war that people just needed a leader.
I believe it is sad that German people deny what they have done in the past but at the same time i feel as though most people were forced into it by the bad economic times and Hitler had a way out. Also because if they spoke up or against Hitler they would be accused of being a jew and get murdered.
The documentary showed that the Jewish people were being treated unfairly because the Christians did extremely disrespectful things to all of the Jews. The Christians and Jews come from similar backgrounds but they were extremely disrespectful to each other just based off of religious beliefs.
I agree with Amanda because I had no idea how unfairly THE Jews were treated until I watched the video. I was also not aware of the horrific disrespect towards each other even though I am a Christian today.
I agree with Michayla. Her laughter provided a way to escape the conversation alittle bit. Also the fact that she said that it was started to remain means she was uncomfortable about talking anymore about the letter and wanted to leave. She denies ever writing the letter because she feels bad about what she has done because she knows it was a bad thing.
The interview was very interesting in my opinion. I was not aware that an old lady could affect so many others lives. She wasn’t killing any of the people, but she might as well have been. She told other Nazi soldiers if there were people that she thought were Jewish. The Nazi soldiers would kill these people just because she told them something that might have been correct or incorrect. However, when you look at her you don’t believe that she would do something like that. Resi Kraus denied everything that the male interviewer stated because she was in denial. She should have owned up to something like that because lying in her situation makes her look worse.
I agree with Kassandra too when she said that it was creepy when Resi Kraus tried laughing it off. Resi did that to try and act cool and avoid the situation. That is pretty low even for an old lady to do something like that.
I thought that the interview was horrible but at the same time sad. I thought it was terrible that she ratted out her neighbor who "looked Jewish", but it was also sad because that was a common thing during that time. Also, I disliked how Resi Kraus showed zero sympathy for what she had done. She pretended like she had no idea what the interviewer was talking about, even though the evidence said otherwise. She kept digging herslef into a deeper hole because the evidence was piling up against her and she just sounded guilty because she could not explain it.
I agree with Mary. I think that everyone knew she what she had done and I don't believe that she could forget something like that in her past. Even though it was a long time ago, one doesn't forget ratting someone out because they looked Jewish during those times. I don't know if she felt guilty, but she showed no sympathy for what the interviewer was saying. I think that this also goes along with the fact that she said that she "didn't murder anyone". She's trying to lessen the reality of what she had done, which I think makes her seem more guilty.
Resi Kraus's interview was interesting to me. However, it really showed me the average person's attitude towards the Jews during the Holocaust, and also showed me how people nowadays who lived during that time period deal with themselves today. The way she denied and said she forgot everything she said in the letter was expected and I was not surprised that she would try to deny all those terrible things that she said and did. It is only human I guess. I only wonder if she feels bad about what she did, and how she lives with herself now. I feel sorry for her that she can be the bigger person and admit to saying such things and to apologize.
I agree with what Mary Donahue is saying. I too feel that she really did end up killing an innocent person in the end, even though she stated that she didn't physically killed anyone. Resi indirectly affected this woman's life and her family.
I was horrified and disgusted by the interview with Resi Kraus. Personally, I believe that she remembered writing the letter and everything she did, but does not want to take blame for it now and so tried to pass it off as if she didn't know what it was. I was also scared by the way she laughed when the man was reading the letter aloud. this is not something to laugh at and I wanted to scream at her for being so disrespectful. and when she said about how it was raining, to change the subject, that's when I truly felt that she just didn't want to take ownership of what she did. I agree with Michayla in that Resi is just one example of the kind of people still around today who either believe that what Hitler did was justified or who refuse to talk about or think about what really happened. when a group of people are so willing to erase moments from history in their minds, it has an effect on others and it is that sort of thinking that leads to people saying ridiculous things such as that none of this ever happened, and killing people to make their point. I don't know what I would have done back then, but I like to believe that I could at least take ownership of it now. I have no respect for Resi Kraus.
