In the beginning of 1939 there were rumors of war. Before anything started the Jewish were able to do anything. They were normal citizens. Then one day the Germans decided that they could ruin that for the Jews. Many generations of a Jewish family would take pictures prior to the war. Some villages in Poland were primitive. Some people were immediately distinguished from the general population. They always wore a hat and or skullcap in public, which signified their devotion to god. Hitler and his officers watched their troops march into Poland on September 1, 1939.The Nazi’s would execute Polish Catholic Priests. The Nazi’s would also make the Jewish people scrub the sidewalks just to humiliate them in public. After the Jews would be taken by the Nazi's their churches would be loomed and they would let them fall in the ruins. The Nazi’s would use specially trained dogs to help control occupied areas. The Nazi soldiers would hit and kick the Jews just to entertain the other soldiers.
I think all this was messed up. I still cant believe how these people were able to do all this.

Reflection- 3/14/07

Between 1939 and 1942 the Nazis established numerous ghettos, most of them in Eastern Europe. Nazis formed several of these enclosed quarters within a number of polish cities. The Jews of the Warsaw ghetto lived under the most miserable conditions. While some of the ghetto were enclosed by wooden fences or barbed wire, the one in Warsaw, the largest of all, was surrounded by eleven miles of nine-foot-high walls. Approximately 80,000 out of 445,000 Jews died in the Warsaw ghetto.

The book I choose to read is called “prelude to the holocaust”. It mostly talk about how they took the prisoners to the camps. Or how the Jews were trying to protect their children’s of all this. The holocaust by that time mean an offering to the gods that was completely burned away. By the medieval times meant a huge destruction of sacrifice. The Jews people were not the only people that went to the camps they also took gypsies, poles, the physical and mentally disabled, homosexual, and political opponents of the Nazis. All the people that had been killed were around six million Jews. All the properties that were of the prisoners the SS were trying to burned them before the Russia people will came but they did not had time. They did not wanted to live no evidence. A lot of the Nazis thought that by killing the children’s they were not going to live no evidence of the Jews but a lot of Jews even though it was hard for them, they send their children’s to other countries before the Nazis will know this thing was called the kindertransports. So a lot of children’s were send with other relatives on other countries they have family. So that’s how a lot of Jews kids survived. The pictures I see is one in theirs a lot of family and it tells how only the 2 babies survive and the rest died in the camps.

+ The Camp System
+ By Jane Shuter
+ In this selection, I see pictures of the prisoners lined up, prisoners expressing joy and relief while being released in 1945, the ideal German family, labor, and death camps.
+ When the Nazi party, led by Adolf Hitler, won the election in 1933, Hitler wanted to set up the perfect Nazi state. Hitler wanted to destroy anything and anyone who did not fit the criteria for his perfect Nazi state. The Nazis created three different camps; concentration camps, labor camps, and death camps. They were all the same in which they were all fenced completely from the outside, guarded, and run by solders. They all give their prisoners the bare minimum food, shelter, and clothing. The prisoners were innocent and were not given any release date. The biggest camps had at least one crematorium for burning the prisoners that died. As the war went on, the camp system grew rapidly and became more complicated. Hitler developed a new camp call Prisoner of war camp. As soon as Germany went into war, its army began to take prisoners from the armies it was fighting. These prisoners all were sent to freedom in 1945.
+ The more and more I learn about what actually happened in Germany during these times, the more I am grateful to live in America. Of course, I still feel great sympathy for the innocent victims.

The Children We Remember.

This book is a short-story book about the children who were Jews. It starts off telling how Jewish children lived in small ordinary towns. Went to regular schools, prayed at Synagogues, and played with their friends like regular ordinary people like me. Then one day, Nazi's came and tried to take over. They made the Jews sew the Star of David on their clothes so they could be identified as a Jew. The Nazi’s closed Jewish stores and burned down synagogues, they also took away the homes of the Jews. Families were forced to live on the streets. When the children were cold, they would wrap themselves in rags. When the children were hungry, they would share the little food that they had. The children helped the old, sick and each other. The Nazi’s hated the children because they were Jews. Some children were taken away from their families. and sent far away from home. Children were killed by the officers. Many children died, some survived. Many escaped all of it by moving to Israel or another country. Some were rescued by Christian families. Some children hid in forests, or pretended to be non-Jews. I think its terrible to take the lives of innocent children just because of their race, no one chooses to be a certain type of race. Everyone is born who they are. The children had no reason to be killed.

Title of the book or Section-The First To Fall
Describe what pictures you see-the picture that I see is the Nazi leader ad old Hitler (giving the Nazi salute) at a party rally in nuremberg,germany,in 1928.)
This section was about when world war 1 ended in November 1918.The German were defeated. There was not enough food and people were starving. There was no work at all so that they cold make their own money. The German mark was worth less than a quarter trillionth of a dollar. The people were miserable and they were bitter. The Weimar republic was Weak and seemed unable to relieve the people suffering. People who were defeated and hungry and jobless become bitter and frustrated. They gather along with groups, and together they seek the cause of their misery. The Germans blamed the police and the army for putting down strikes by working people. What I think about the world war one is that they could have had help if the people that were in charge of the Germans would just put them to work so that they could survive.

Prelude to the Holocaust
In this book I see a picture of Germany and all of the land they lost in World War One. I also see a picture of Adolf Hitler. There is a picture of the first Ghetto they built. There are pictures of some of the peoples things that was left from the holocaust. There were shoes, hats, sweaters all of many different sizes. There were many different people that were hurt. There was also a picture of a family that was separated because of the Holocaust. Only the little boy survived. In this book I learned more about Adolf Hitler. He was born in Austria in 1889. He first wanted to go to an art school. He spent five years living in poverty. At this time he began hating educated people. He hated Communists and Jews. In 1914 Hitler joined the German army and he fought the World War one. He got many medals for bravery. Then he got into politics. In 1920 Hitler was one of the small groups that drew up the Twenty Five Points.

Blog #5: Though there was diversity in Denmark the Jews were also discriminated against not to the extent of the other European nations that surrounded it. In the last section that I read it gave an example. The Teacher showed the student several songs played several songs and asked the student to name them because he was Jewish and the song were all religious hymns he did not know any of them. The teacher assumed that he was ignorant of music. In another instance when the Teacher ask for donations she used a derogatory term Jews in which she meant stingy. The teacher without saying anything else apologized to the student and ever sense she smiled at him every time she saw him. You can see the people of Denmark see the separation and tries to stop it is a great thing to surpass the derogatory terms and the racial slander one world united.

The title of this book is life and death I hitters Europe. the pictures I see is of tanks battle units infantry and destroyed city. What I learned about this chapter is the war tactics they used to over come many of Europe's army. The tactic was called blitzkrieg. Instead of sending in long lines of slow marching soldiers the Nazis used a new tactic called blitzkrieg or lighting war. First they sent there planes to bomb the enemies air force , roads rail ways and telephones lines then they sent fast moving troops. Blitzkrieg was led by tanks, the panzer division and light artillery. those troops were protected by German air force. Witch also bombed enemy troops. Most other European armies could not cope with the speed and ferocity of the German advance and were defected in a matter of weeks' think despite the use of it this tactic was great. I give my respects to the German military artillery.

The Nazis often twisted the truth to make people believe their views. Who ever survived the Nazis camps would be homeless or jobless. When the soviet army moved into German land they found and liberated all the nazi camps the SS had left behind. One of the most obvious effects of the holocaust on survivors was that almost all of them were sick, starved, and homeless. When someone liberated they had to collect and bury hundreds of dead bodies. It was hard for soldiers to find evidence against the SS and bring them to trial. The SS took their clothes so when they were liberated most of the prisoners had to wear their uniforms from the camps. 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.
