In both of these examples, the people who were in charge of others were leaders of the authoritarian type. According to Fischel (2012), Hitler's main goal was to win the war and then rid at least Europe of Jews. According to Fischel (2012), once the war started, people under Hitler simply began to listen to his demands and implement what he told them to end the war and make the world a better place, just because he was the authoritarian leader in charge. two. The Stanford prison experience and Hitler's reign are comparable because Hitler or the guard gave orders and the people they were responsible for accepted and carried out those orders. In both examples the people also rebelled and tried not to follow orders and it never worked, they always ended up being punished even harder than they would have been if they had followed orders. According to Fischel (2012), it is stated that in the beginning, around 28,000 Jews hid or fled a ghetto to escape the Nazi troops. Just by watching and hearing about the Stanford Prison Experiment and seeing how much they suffered, it makes perfect sense why so many Jews hid or fled Hitler's regime. I think this explains why people acted the way they did during the Holocaust and why it is easily explained in relation to Stanford Prison.
