+ Aftermath of the Holocaust
+ Jane Shuter
+ The pictures in the book are of a few of the survivors at the Buchenwald concentration camp, Nazis drowning prisoners of the camps, Bread deliveries to the prisoners after they were liberated, and SS women.
+ Soldiers of the American, Russian, and British liberated several different camps. American troops who went to liberate Dachau said words couldn’t describe the sight (the dead bodies piled on top of each other.) The soldiers who came to liberate the camps brought as much food as they could but prisoners were not used to it and it upset most peoples’ stomachs.
+ I read Nelly’s blog on Wednesday and it was on the book, Deniers of the Holocaust. She wrote about how the Holocaust was not only about getting rid of the Jews, but also anyways who was not the ideal German chosen by the Nazis. Of course, Nazis did not want to leave any evidence but there was a death book found. In this death book, pictures and descriptions of the beatings and killings at the camps. Russians found thousand of bonds of the died people.
+ I understood everything completely, I have no complaints about her writing. =)
War killed millions. One out of every three Jews in the world was killed. Six million Jewish civilians and they weren't soldiers, these dudes were murdered. Untermenschen was a word the Germans used for people who they thought were less than human. International law says that a nation may not murder its own citizens. The Nazis broke all of these laws and others. World War 1 ended in November 1918 and Germany was defeated. There was not enough food and people starved and there was no work. Germany’s first democratic government was formed after the war. People who are defeated, hungry and jobless become bitter and frustrated. Jewish shops were vandalized by Nazi storm troopers. Lots of Synagogues were destroyed. Hitler and the Nazis took over the German government in 1933. Hitler had received 30.1 percent of the votes in an election for president of Germany. No one really posted a blog yesterday. I thought that this book was full of interesting facts and pictures.
Eyes everywhere prisoners were encouraged to tell the ss guards of any plots they overheard, in the same way as people outside the camp were encouraged to tell on each other. The germans are crazy. At roll call each day, the camp commandant. New arrivals in Mauthausen camp were met by ss guards with dogs trained to attack prisoners. Leon zelman, a political prisoner who survived the camp, remembers how the dogs were used to terrorize prisoners on a daily basis. There were people in the camps who took the chance to help anyone they could, as they saw them
section title: The Aryans that Aryans slaughtered
Picture description: there has been prisoners in the sand waiting to be killed.
Summary: this section was about that they have been living a worthless life. Why because they were treated has the Germans. The victims and survivors were divided into groups. The western portion of the country bohemia and Moravia was ruled directly by the German Nazis. The gypsies of bohemia and Moravia were wiped out, but most of those in Slovakia. In the year 1943 an order was issued that Greek gypsies were to be rounded up and sent to Auschwitz for execution. What I think that probably they were executed because they no longer were worth to keep.
The person that I read was Justine's and what I had learn about her blog was that on the camps there were people that were killed but they weren't buried like they should they were on top of each others body. This is something that is new because usually they put them into their dead box were they put them.
I picked Lucy's blog about the book The fate of other Untermenchen.
The book was about Central Europe and the invasion of Poland. More than 7.5 Million civilians from many countries were rounded up and shipped to Germany to work as slave laborers. children were kidnapped. Husband and wives were seperated. Families were torn apart and treated very badly.
I think Lucy could have explained a little bit more about the book, but she still gave good information.
My book: Risistance to the Nazis.
This book explains how several young people who were rounded up by SS officers for deportation were armed with a knife and gun. They decided to fight the SS officers. They hoped to start a larger revolt. Mendel Fiszlewicz, their leader, had the pistol and shit at the SS man who was in charge of the deportations. The pistol got jammed before he could fire another shot at the officer and he ended up getting shot by an SS instead. for a punishment, the SS officers took 25 men out of the group waiting to be deported and shot them all in front of everyone else. They called it a "Light" punishment. I think that since an officer was able to get shot, they were affraid of it getting worse until the gun jammed. I believe that everyone was afraid. And that maybe the young Jews could have done more damage and starting something big if they all had something to fight with.
