    Goth is often used as a psychology model because his brutality came hand in hand with the permissiveness he was given. If placed in a situation where he cannot act brutally, he doesn't act brutally and place in a situation where his brutality can be unbounded then his brutality knew no end.

When i became a teenager, i was not still not allowed to go out or to wear make up and fashionable clothes. I soon became, from an early age, a target for all of the neighbouring kids and the kids at school, for being in their words, "weird and stupid" ........... When i reached the age of 18, i left their house and their town, and went to the opposite side of the country to live, never to see any of em again! I am now 60 years old with no happy memories at all and a very nervous personality. I have become a recluse with an eating disorder and other mental heath issues, but guess what??? .....

    Göth is the prototype of the highly educated Nazi. In reference to this and to the movie Schindlers List, when the ghetto is being destroyed, one particular scene accentuates the fact that they did not care nor did they have any feelings of guilt. An officer starts playing the piano in the middle of the destruction of the people living there. Two soldiers ask the man if he is playing Bach or Mozart as if nothing special is going on around them. It was just a job for most of the Nazis and SS members.
    I do not want to give Göth the benefit of considering the posibility of being mentally ill and subsequently becoming one of those who is excused. He was very aware of his doings as by far most of the SS officers and military were. These are not sociopaths or psychopaths. This kind of people do live among us, and are living a life like most of us do. They will show their real mentality in situations such as a war.

    The question becomes whether someone who is biochemically imbalanced, which he may have been, is predisposed to be drawn to an ideology of hate? The information you provide is insufficient in quantity and detail to determine if he is sufficiently deranged, inherently, to evolve into what he became. You did mention that he was likely longing for companionship and a sense of purpose/ order. The Hitler youth provided him with that just like many youths enter a gang to belong to something and create misguided meaning for themselves. Is that sufficient for the transformation to a mass murderer? That would require a professional psychological profile. Excellent information generally speaking.

      Germany invaded Poland 1st September 1939’ therefore breaking the Munich agreement. Britain & France had guaranteed Poland military support & declared war 3 September. Germany & Russia had a non aggression pact & Russia invaded Poland 17 September. Supposedly to come to the aid of Ukrainian & Belorussia who were in territory which they said was illegally annexed by Poland. The British expeditionary forces started to go to France 9 Sept, But spent seven months training. No hostilities between German & Allied armies took place until April 1940. The period between September & April was nicknamed the phoney war. Germany attacked Russia June 22 1941. USA entered war on 11 December 1941 after being attacked by Japan. Complicated isn’t it.

    Thank god he didn’t have a close relationship with his kids. Knowing what kind of horrors lurked inside him, he might have inflicted terrible things upon them.

    I'll bet it took sometime for actor Ralph Fiennes to get Amon Goth out of him...Al Pacino once said "it took several years before I got Tony Montana out of me."

      If your government were persecuting and killing a percentage of miniorities in your country- and offered you a position of power (real power) you would most likely take it (considering the alternative).
      I'm convinced that most people do what they think they can get away with.
      Why throughought history is rape and pillaging so rampant?

    There is something about power over people that can often lead to violence towards them, the Stanford experience clearly showed that the students who had been appointed as guards over the students who were appointed as prisoners gradually became more brutal and the experiment had to be closed down. The experiment was only stopped when the wife of the physiologist complained about what was going on or it would have continued and who knows someone could have been really violently beaten up.
    I visited Bergen Belsen when I was only 11 and I was so horrified what happened there I suffered terrible after affects, I couldn't sleep properly or understand why these things happened so when I was older I researched how these things came to be, in the process many of horrors I read and saw re documentaries etc, had an affect on me, I started to feel less horror and shock, it was as if the more horror I saw my thinking became dulled and I wasn't as upset on a gradual basis to where an incident that would have been very distressing to me stopped being so. I believe this can happen to many people, some good people at that, if you think of even now in Ukraine of the war crimes being committed we seem capable of cruelty so nothing changes because in humans there is the propensity to be cruel and inhumane

    I agree with the so many of you about Ralph Fiennes portrayal of Goeth. In a movie starring two Hollywood icons, Fiennes absolutely steals the show. He's not just the most fascinating character in the film in my opinion, he is one of the most interesting and memorable characters of all time. And while I am a straight male, I do have to say godam he is one striking and handsome charactor/actor. Sad to say, but it's really hard not to look good in SS uniform.

    Power can Corrupt anyone, if they also have Gread. Like a mix for a Cake, it gives them Power over others, which can turn into, brutal evil. usually low esteam people position themselves with Power over others.
