Most of the 1st prisoners at Dachau were political opponents of the Nazis. When Dachau was liberated there was about 35,00 prisoners in the camp. The Nazis had no more political prisoners so they started putting People from other races they thought were inferior. They thought the perfect race was white, blond hair, blue eyes, and healthy. The people in it wore a Star of David along with the usual army badges. Many people life in the ghettos. There were a lot of ghettos in every country in Europe. If the SS would find one prisoner helping another to survive would have been killed. Jewish people would mess up on purpose when they were put to work. If they were caught they were killed. If they had an accident the SS would say it was on purpose, and they were killed. Many Jews were hiding in houses during the Holocaust. If they found out that someone was hiding a Jew, they would be executed. There were women SS guards also. One SS women soldier was tried and hanged in December 1945. Armies fighting against the Nazis couldn’t tell if they were just German soldiers or if they were SS soldiers. After the SS was defeated, it was still not safe for them to come home because people still hated them.
Reflection: I think its sad how they treated the Jews just because they saw them as inferior. They should do that to the Germans so they can see what the Jews had to go through.
Prelude To the Holocaust.
This book shows pictures of Jewish families, and places they hang out at. It also shows pictures of the many clothes that were not destroyed from the holocaust. I learned that in ancient times, the word Holocaust meant "An offering to the gods that was completely burned away." And then in Midieval times it changed to "A huge destruction or sacrifice." But now, in our time, the word describes the Nazi's of Germany destroying almost all of the Jews. In one picture, there is a picture with 14 family members, only 2 survived which were babies, including one that had been born after the picture was taken. That explains how many people were able to survive in a family if they were lucky. Many people who did not survive kept diaries and collected photographs as evidence, some were lucky to hide the evidence. Young Jewish children were taught to read and write Hebrew so they were able to practice their religion. Torah was their religion. They had certain rules about the food they ate. They cannot eat Pig or rabbit. The meat they eat has to be prepared by butchers in a certain special way. They also have to buy the right meat, bread butter, and a certain other foods. I noticed that Jewish people were normal people like everyone else who were very religious, I dont understand why people would want to destroy people who were against violence and chaos. Peace and happiness was something they chrished.
The title of the book was name the life and death in Hitler's Europe. The author of the book is Jane shuter. They show pictures that have kids holding up there hands like they are held up. Other on is showing German soldiers getting ready to fight and they are walking the line throw the city. Another one is showing the slaves how they are getting trained and how they have to work hard. I seen a picture that was showing little kids with gas masks sitting down with there little bags waiting for something to eat or something. I seen a star patch that shows a name with jade on it. There's a picture that shows a German soldier watching the streets form other enemies. One last picture that I seen was German soldiers that were shooting misles. at an other land. There's many pictures that are really bad. I wont like to be in one of these pictures.
+ Surviving Hitler
+ By Andrea Warren
+ It shows pictures of a boy in the Nazi death camp before and after the Holocaust, pictures also of his family and close friends.
+ This story is basically telling the life of a young boy named, Jack. Jack assumed his life would always be a careless adventure but he was wrong. At the age of 12, he was sent to a Nazi death camp. He grew up with his father, mother, older sister, and younger brother in the beautiful city of Gdynia. Jack tells about how his home was full of laughter and kisses. Gdynia, a city of 250,000, had such a small number of Jewish population that it did not have a rabbi. Ninety percent of Gdynia’s population of Catholic and ten percent was Jewish.
+ I feel bad for Jack because throughout the beginning of the story he is just going on and on about how good life was and how suddenly it went raw.
Section Title: The pink Triangle
Picture description: There is picture of prisoners at the sachsenhausen camp in Germany wear the triangular badges that they used indicate their homosexuality the reason for their imprisonment.
Summary: This whole section talks about how homosexuals live in prison. The people that were homosexuals were beat to death because it wasn’t permitted to like their own sex.Many of them were murdered in their barbaric camps. Some homosexuals married to conceal their homosexuality. The homosexuals that were in the military had to be so conservative about their sexual preference they only had the chance to be themselves when they weren't on duty or when they were send to other places. Between September 1939 and July 1944 about 7000 homosexuals in the German armed services were prosecuted.
The Holocaust began in Germany at the start of World War 2. Germany’s armies swept across Poland, France, Holland, and they brought the destruction of Jewish communities. 1945, six million of Europe’s estimated nine million Jews were dead. 200,000 mentally and physically disabled people were killed. More and more people joined Hitler’s Nazi Party. Germany experienced economic troubles. The Treaty of Paris that ended the war left Germany bankrupt and isolated. Hitler and his Nazis soon gathered enough followers to take over control of Germany. Synagogues and Jewish graveyards were vandalized. In 1939, German armies attacked Poland. I thought that this book had tons of information.
Today my book started out by talking about the way that Hitler became a leader and the things that were going on. Hitler starts out by going to jail for not wanting to fight. At that time Germany was going trough a lot. In 1920 a leader tried to overthrow the republic and they came close to succeeding but they didn’t . The government was forced to leave to Stuttgarand abandon everything. Germany was in trouble and there money was worthless and the people were suffering. Germany was in riots the first year of the 1920s. The book also talks about how at first Hitler was no one. Hitler tried getting as much people in his side by brain washing them and telling them why Nazis was a good idea. . When the president died he became a big part of Germany.. He also had assistants their names were Streicher and Rosenberg. The book also talks about how Hitler invented the sign that the Jews had to wear when they were in the Holocaust. Hitler also started out by having back ups that he called SS. The SS started out with a couple of officers and latter on they became in to a army and they were also a big part of the Holocaust. I think that it is weird the way things turn out to be all the time. What I mean by that is that who would have known that a person like Hitler someone that was nothing could become so powerful
Reflection-3/19/07
The Jewish Brigade, a unit of the British Army made up of more than five thousand Jewish volunteer from Palestine, was formed in September 1944. Although more than thirty thousand Jewish Palestinian volunteers served with the British Army during World War 2, only members of the brigade fought under a Jewish flag. During the war the brigade fought against the Germans in Italy, and after Germany’s surrender, a number of its soldiers, instead of returning home, traveled to DP camps.
The book I’m reading this morning is called “the children we remember” is mostly base on pictures. The children's that lives ended during the Holocaust but their some pictures that are before the Nazis. This picture is the houses that the children’s use to live. It was a big town with huge houses and beautiful trees. How they went to school in this picture show how they were just in school normally like use. How they pray in synagogues they were just normal praying for their faith for god. How they play with their friends and be happy or just sat alone looking on other children’s playing. When the Nazis came everything change. They made Jews sew patches on their clothes every Jews kid had that patched you could tell who was Jew. Then they closed Jewish stores and schools you could see how their closing the stores. They burned synagogues. They took away homes you could see how moms are caring their children's with them. Some families were force to live in the streets you could see how the children’s are sleeping on the stress moms with their babies. When they were cold they wrapped themselves in rags. When they were hungry they share the little food they had with each other. The children's helped the old, the sick, and each other. The Nazis hated the children’s because they were Jews. They will send them away from their families sent them far from home I see children’s crying because they wanted to be with their families. Sometimes the Nazis will put children’s to death I see how the SS is killing the children’s. some children’s that were killed were a girl in this picture named Chana and her brother and a little boy named Willie. On this picture it show how Willie was a baby. The other pictures were children's that died. The other picture show the children’s that survived. Some children’s escape to Israel and other countries some were rescued by Christian families. On this picture show how children’s were hid on the forest or pretended to be non-Jews. This book is base on pictures and the memories of the children’s that died and the ones that survived that know are grown and have kids. When I see all this pictures it makes me wanted cry because is see all this babies get killed and take them away from their families. How they cry for food the babies that died and how they were cold on the street. But I’m happy for the ones that survive this is a sad book because even if is only pictures you could see how they suffer.
I read anonymous’ blog and I think its really good. I learned about a girl. She was tall, blonde, with blue eyes, but she was not a German, she was a Jew. It happened that she got a passport and/visa so that if they asked her any questions she would have proof of whatever she was saying. She worked as a cashier and therefore she kept some visa’s and some passports. She would help out the Jews by giving them some of the passports and visas so they would be able to just travel without a problem. They soon found out of her scheme. They killed her by shooting her in the neck. She saved many Jews before she died and she said she would have done the same mistake again.
Hitler had racial ideas to collect skeletons and various body parts, such as the brain to prove that they were the advance race. They had already started testing people for their bones they had killed a lot of them already but they wanted to use them as their racial ideas by then they thought they would succeed. I also learned that the Nazis were racist to any one that wasn’t German.
