From Grandfather's Arm: 1. He cried when he talked about being in Auschwitz. 2. These tattooed "serial numbers" were these captives' identities.
From Hidden Children: 1. One woman said that she would eat ANYWHERE now, because she knew what being STARVING was like. All food sounded good to her, no matter how bad it was. 2. One man said that he temporarily lost his religion. He lost his faith because he thought "How could a God so wonderful kill all these people? Let me live like this?" but by the end of the War, he was faithful again.
Holocaust: "Inferno" *Only 100 of the 15,000 children imprisoned at the Theresienstadt ghetto lived *1.5 million people were killed at Auschwitz death camp
One interesting thing i learned was that wealthy people living in the ghetto payed for young boys to fill their spots working (for the Nazis).
Another thing was that in concentration camps, lice infested the prisoners sleeping bunks. And every month the prisoners had to get lice killer put on their heads. Supposedly it really hurt.
Some Jewish children didn't look Jewish, so they could take off their patches and go outside the Ghetto. Usually no one would notice, and the Jew could gather bread and other goods, and could smuggle them in.
The Klu Klux Klan had members who were children. Their parents would dress them in the traditional white robe and they would go to rallies.
Princess Elizabeth drove a big rig during WWII to help with the war effort. The inferno following the detonation of the little boy bomb burned at 9,000 degrees fahrenheit.
1When Esther was in the concentration camp a Nazi was a dentist and she helped her out. :) 2I thought it was interesting how the Jews went onto the trains to the ghetto without a fight. I probably would have ran and got shot instead going to the concentration camp, depending on if i knew were i was going.
1) The four teens that I read about in the book In the Camps are not shy or quiet about their past experiences (surviving the Holocaust). In fact, they like to keep the memory alive by talking to various schools and giving speeches. 2) A girl named Stella was given a tatoo when she arrived at the concentration camp. Her tatoo is still lies upon her arm. It has not faded at all. I am sure that many of the Jews still have their tatoos. It just shows you that for the Jews, you cannot get rid of the memory of the Holocaust.
1) The Hitler Youth would have young children bring in their favorite pet and then kill it, so that they could kill without feeling.
2) The Nazi party had the Hitler Youth divisions hand out gas masks to German citizens, in order to protect them from chemical warfare. 3) the main character, Edgard's father thought it was necessary to kill Jews. He said, " You can't make an omelet without cracking eggs."
I learned that the guy who was takeing the pictures was so dedicated to showing what the nazis were doing that he risked his life to get the pictures. I also learned that even though the people get so little food they still share with each other.
One interesting thing I learned was a young Polish Jewish boy named Herchel Glynszpan was tired of the mistreatment of Jews. He took a gun a shot a member of the German Embassy. This is what led Hitler to approving spontaneous actions against Jews.
Another interesting thing I learned was how the Germans got the idea of having a gas chamber and oven. They got this idea, because the Germans wanted a faster way to kill the Jews, and the most of the ways the Germans killed the Jews before led to no place to dispose the body. They thought of this idea for rapid killing and disposing of bodies.
1. Children that could pass as Aryans, would get fake identity cards that had a different place of date and place of birth, etc. The children had to memorize what was on their cards, so that if they were interrogated they would seem truthful. 2. In Nazism people believed that if they didn't kill the Jews, they would kill them. It was completely irrational, but since the people were in such a state of fear they would believe anything.
1.The Swiss Red Cross demanded to come see Terezin (an awful work camp). The Nazis had lied, saying that it was a wonderful little town, just separated. The Nazis couldn't deny them, so the Nazis repainted the whole "town" added new buildings, parks, and town squares. They sent all the unhealthy looking people to Auschwitz. So they completely fooled the red cross. 2.The moldy bread that the Nazis brought to the prisoners was carried in the same cart as the dead bodies.
1/3 1.) Italy and Japan were expanding too 2.) Germany had less and worse tanks, but better air crafts
2/3 1.) they used spy stuff like pen guns and daggers in pencils back then 2.)the Browning Machine Gun was powerful enough to blow peoples limbs off but it was no match for German fighter planes (i guess this proves that bigger is not always better)
1. I hate to say it, but at Mauthausen Concentration Camp, over 250,000 Jews, Gypsies, and political leaders were killed. 2. When Dachau Concentration Camp was liberated, over 350 SS officers were killed.
There were many interesting facts but i'd have to say that these fact were probably the most interesting to me. 1. Did you know that almost all nazi camps were turned into museums. 2. Nazis made some parts of the ghettos look nice so that people would think of them as nice places.
Two interesting things I learned: 1. A man by the name of Presben helped ferry Jews across "Oresound" in Sweden
2. Adolf Hitler wrote a book that was Non-Fiction and was purely based on the struggles in his life. The book was quite popular and was entitled "Main Kempt".
A couple interesting things i learned are; 1) A lot of people form all over the world boycotted the Olympics because it was being held in Nazi Germany 2) Most people in the Boycott joined because Nazi wouldn't let star athletes compete because they were Jewish.
1. The first recorded time of Jews being hurt was in 1144. A boy went missing right before the important Jewish holiday, Passover. It is believed that someone of another religion killed him. 2.In the year 1935, 65,000 Jews left Germany for other countries. They were all to scared to live in Germany anymore.
Esther pretended to be German, so that she could get help from a German soldier
ReplyDeleteAlso she got help turning the water mill from a German soldier, who did not know she was Jewish
ReplyDeletemany german officers knew and the people they exterminated, many jews were forced to conform or be sent to the concentration camps

1) Aktrons occurred very frequently, Aktrons were the regular deportation of Jewish people
ReplyDelete2)All mail in and out of the Ghettos was censored and filtered

Two interesting facts-
ReplyDelete1.When Germany couldn't afford to pay any more money for war reparations, the Allies demanded to be given coal instead.
2.One of the reasons Hitler went to war was to get more money.
1. German soldiers lined up Jews and shot them in a row, they didn't care at all. they once lined up and shot 200 boys.
ReplyDelete2. some of the teens who lived during the Holocaust think a similar thing could happen again.
I learned that the guy who was takeing the pictures was so dedicated to showing what the nazis were doing that he risked his life to get the pictures. I also learned that even though the people get so little food they still share with each other.
ReplyDelete1. Aushwitz was not in Germany, it was in Poland.
ReplyDelete2. 2,000,000 people were murdered by the Einstanzgruppen.

1. Hitler was against the idea of the Olympics. He did not like sporting events himself, so he did not like the Olympic games or spirit.
ReplyDelete2. The Nazi's used the Olympics as a facade to hide the true evil that the Nazi's were committing.
1) Nuremberg laws: German laws that abolished all Jewish rights.
ReplyDelete2)lucky people got to work with horses, many would eat the horse feed as food.
-The Nazis used a injected poison to kill sick prisoners too sick to work.
ReplyDelete-The Nazis used saw dust as a filler in the prisoners bread.
