The subjects of Dachau were careless that their city was going to turn into the source of death camps and of the Holocaust, the mass homicide conferred by the Nazi s in World War II. Dachau Concentration Camp, which would soon be set on the edge of their group, would serve as a model for all Nazi elimination camps. This impeccable model of a Nazi executing machine now speak to the begin of the unpleasantness filled Holocaust and the Nazi's determination to accomplish a flawless pop culture throughout World War II. On March 21, 1933, just two months after Adolf Hitler was delegated Chancellor of Germany, Heinrich Himmler, the Commander of the Schutzstaffel (SS) Elite Police Force and a standout amongst the most effective men in Nazi Germany, requested that a camp for political rivals be based on the grounds of a betrayed explosive manufacturing plant on the edge of the little group of Dachau, close Munich. The Nazi-controlled daily paper, the Vð"â¶lkischer Beobachter (deciphered Racial Observer) gladly broadcasted that the first death camp, with a limit of in excess of 5000 detainees, would be secured close Dachau.
Night occurs in the 1940’s, when Adolf Hitler began to invade Hungry and slowly takes over the town Sighet. This is where, Eliezer “Elie” Wiesel, who is the narrator and the author of the book. Elie Wiesel is a 13 year old teenager, who is a deeply observant child, during the day he studied Talmud, which is a Hebrew word meaning learning, instruction, consists
He lives in Sighet, Romania, with his parents and three sisters, two older and one younger than he. A bright and studious child, Elie is curious about the Jewish religion. Wanting to learn about the Talmud and the Cabbala, he turns to Moshe the Beadle, a worker in the synagogue, for guidance and religious instruction. The Germans, under the guidance of Hitler, seize Romania and occupy Sighet. Elie, like all of the Jews, is made to wear a yellow star to identify him as Jewish.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer is the most influential man in Church history because he attempted to assassinate Hitler, never stopped spreading the word of God in times of hardship, and wrote the book, “ The Cost of Discipleship.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born on February 4 of 1906 in Breslau, Germany. His father was a Psychiatry professor, well known for his opposition of the T4 Program initiated by Hitler to eradicate people who were physically or mentally challenged. This may have been where Bonhoeffers strong hostility towards Hitler stemmed from. At the young age of 14, Bonhoeffer dedicated his life to learning more about Christ. Before deciding that he wanted to study theology, Dietrich considered becoming a pianist.
“To develop their critical thinking skills!!! Hat tip Atlas Shrugs I am croiss-posting this story direct from Atlas Shrugs because Pam Geller says it quite well. In the Rialto, California School District, students are being assigned to write an essay arguing whether the Holocaust actually happened or was invented to “influence public emotion and gain”. http://pamelageller.com/2014/05/california-school-district-defends-writing-assignment-confirming-denying-holocaust.html/ First of all, even Germany admits to the Holocaust and educates its younger generations about what happened-at least since the late 1960s when their younger generation started asking questions of their parents and demanding answers. Of course, that was in West Germany.
For many, the serial number (located on the forearm) is the most unforgettable image of the Holocaust. Having come to symbolize the brutality, and dehumanization attempt of the Nazis, most of what is known about them stem from personal accounts of Jewish survivors. Initially, the main method of identifying the Jewish population was through the use badges. Reinhard Heydrich was the first to recommend that Jews be forced to wear badges following the Kristallnacht in November 1938. The German government made badges mandatory in Poland in November 1939.
Main Objective: * Thoroughly compare Ben Ross and Hitler * Find similarities of the unit between the Wave and the Nazi Germany Main Notes: * The Wave members are all mindless and only follow orders from the leader the same way the Nazi’s run their reign * Fascism * Racism (The Wave = Assault on the Jew Boy) (Nazi Germany = Extermination of all Jews in Germany) Ben Ross and Adolf Hitler The Wave, from what seems to be a tiny classroom obedience experiment, had turned into a menace in just weeks. The Movement has been led by a history teacher named Ben Ross. Even though he did form that movement in a good way at the start, it gets carried away during the development or the growth of the movement and had turned into a fascist, semi-military, anti-Semitic, mindless movement. The frightening bit is that the Wave is somewhat turning into NAZI’s in just days, but we shouldn’t really blame the members about their actions, it is in fact the leader’s fault to let them become this horrifying and unstable movement. Ben Ross, An intelligent and energetic history teacher at Gordon High, the creator and the leader of The Wave, had been carried away with the movement he creates.
For my social studies project, I chose to research Rudolf Hoess. Hoess joined the SS in 1933, and became part of Hitler’s regime. In 1934 he stayed attached to the SS in Dachau up until August 1938. He was later appointed Commandant of Auschwitz in 1940, which resulted in Hoess discovering a new and improved way of killing in the gas chamber. Normally Jews were killed in the chambers by carbon monoxide, but that was not enough for Hoess, he needed to go above and beyond with the way he exterminated an entire race.
The poem “Genesis” is a satire on the Old Testament. The main challenges of “genesis” are the way that students are educated. The students metaphorically represent Adam and Eve. It also shows how the students have faced the challenges of high school, education and knowledge. In the beginning the students are enjoying their return to high school: “mincing in their brand new tunics…cocky in their blue and grey”.
