In both of these examples the people who were responsible for others were authoritarian leaders. According to Fischel (2012), Hitler's main goal was to win the war and then liberate at least Europe from the Jews. According to Fischel (2012), once the war began, people under Hitler simply began to listen to his demands and carry out what he told them would end the war and make the world a better place, solely because he was the authoritarian leader in office. of them. Both the Stanford prison experiment and Hitler's reign are comparable because Hitler or the guard gave orders and the people who were in charge of them accepted and followed those orders. In both examples people rebelled and tried not to follow orders and it never worked, they always ended up being punished even more harshly than they would have been if they had followed orders. According to Fischel (2012), it is detailed that initially a number of approximately 28,000 Jews hid or fled a ghetto to escape Nazi troops. Just by watching and listening to the Stanford prison experiment and seeing how much they suffered, it makes a lot of sense why so many Jews went into hiding or fled Hitler's regime. I think this explains why people behaved the way they did during the Holocaust and why this is easily explained in relation to Stanford Prison
