What punishment could human law have given Hitler?

Question

Hitler incinerated six million Jews during his reign of terror. If he were alive today and if he were arrested and tried by a court of law, what punishment can human law give Hitler for justice to prevail? The most they can do is to send Hitler to the gas chamber. But that will only be punishment for the killing of one Jew. What about the remaining five million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine Jews??????

Answer 1

I'm sure karma took care of him.

Answer 2

I'm not sure that there could have been much done other than putting him on trial and putting him to death. (which if the trial went anything like the current Saddam Hussein trail - it would be a complete mockery of the judicial system -- that guy is totally out of control and the court doesn't do much at all to negate his continuous outbursts and misconduct during the proceedings -- )Saddam has no remorse for what was done, hence I think that Hitler would be the same way. He was crazy enough to do it to begin with, therefore he would feel justified in his actions -- Just as Saddam does today. So I wouldn't worry about justice for Hitler, as was said before...leave it to God. As for Saddam, I haven't heard or seen much of the trial as of late, but I hope that justice is served here on earth, but he will get true justice in the end.

Answer 3

There is no punishment that a feeling, sane person could impose that would make up for even one life. I've heard this in a discussion before and the most reasonable (and I don't say this lightly) punishment would be for him to experience his loved ones being raped, tortured for an excruciating amount of time and then killed, all the while during which he is also being tortured but kept alive long enough to feel hope, long enough to feel hopeless.

But to impart this punishment, the punisher would have to be as cold and ruthless as he was. His is not the only evil this world has known, but it had the greatest impact on humanity. We'll never see genocide like that on such a grand scale ever again. It goes against all of humanity.

Answer 4

a million) it really is our duty to create honest and merely guidelines and to furnish our police forces with the elements they prefer to uphold those guidelines. 2) If we be counted upon a more beneficial being to punish and reward human beings in a next life, we abdicate our duty to objective to make our societies more beneficial positive, fairer safer places. 3) the authentic ingredient is that we study from the previous, from what surpassed off less than human beings like Hitler and Stalin, how they got here to ability and were waiting to perpetrate their crimes, and to appreciate what causes criminal behaviour in basic human beings, so as that we may be able to ward off this stuff from happening interior the first position. that's more beneficial significant to quit a criminal offense, huge or small, earlier it occurs, punishing a assassin does no longer deliver their sufferer back to life. even although a lot of human beings position self assurance in countless religions that prommis some variety of perfect justice, or maybe if if it really is authentic, it doesn't replace the actual undeniable reality that we ought to objective to make society probability-free and peacful for anybody as maximum proper we may be able to:)

Answer 5

There are 3 kinds of laws: Divine law, Moral law and Human law. Human law varies from one country to another, but international law, well you can ask a lawyer who specialized on that. I think we have international law too but I don't know about the specific details in it, what articles, etc. But most probably it's punishable by 3 death sentences, or even 10?

Answer 6

He probably won't even be punished in Hell because he is the Anti-Christ.

I would hang him by the balls, cut his eylids, throw bleach in his eyes, drill screws in his knee caps, break his fingers, water board him, have him diplayed in a town center have people throw stuff at him, and have him listen to Barbara Streisand all day long for as long as he lives. When he is finally dying I'd keep him alive with modern medicine and just keep on torturing him for ever.

Answer 7

Haven't you seen Little Nicky? Those pineapples wouldn't feel good! Just joking.
But seriously, Those convicted of genocide are almost always put to death, this is the worst punishment you can do. I wish there was something else that could be done that wasn't so final.

Answer 8

When God decides to use you as a tool to get the attention of His stiff-necked people, there's nothing humans can do but pat you on the shoulder, sympathize with how the experience has driven you mad, and tell you that you did a good job.

Then execute you for being too scarey to have around.

Answer 9

The same that we are trying to give to Saddam, by bringing him to a trial where he can view what he has done, sitting in court for months, being charged with countless charges of murder, etc. Eventually someone will begin to start thinking about what they actually did to people's lives and maybe feel guilty. If only to give someone a chance to repent.

Answer 10

There is no answer to this that would satisfy us......we would want him to suffer in the way that he made others suffer....but the truth is that his conscious was severed. Nothing we could ever impose on him would do anyone any good. I believe that God is JUST and GOOD and TRUE....and will take care of all that in ways that we could never comprehend.
The best we can do is to not let the evil that Hitler did poison us to wish harm on anyone....even him, because it is not our place.
