The Nazi party was led by Hitler. Three main types of camps that developed were, concentration camps, labor camps, and death camps. All the prisoners in the camps were imprisoned without trial and had no date for their release. The camps were very effective. There were very few people left in Germany who were willing to oppose the Nazis openly. Many historians agree that about six million Jews were killed. Most of them died in the camps. Death camps were set up from 1941 on to kill as many Jews as possible, as efficiently as possible. Concentration camps were the first Nazi camps. The Nazis considered closing the camps because there were just 3,000 prisoners left in them, the lowest number since they were first set up. The SS ran the camps. Prisoners were made to undress. All of the prisoners’ hair were shaved. They had to shower and be disinfected. They were given uniforms and a camp number. This book has a lot of facts about what happened in the camps.
Some people in the ghettos resisted by refusing to do whatever the Nazis ordered them to do. Each ghetto was run by a Judenrat but the council was expected to do whatever the Nazis told them to do. If someone refused to join the Judenrat, or if a member of the Judenrat refused to carry out a Nazi order he or she was she. Some people tried cooperating with the Nazi, in the hope of improving thing, but soon stopped when they realized there would not be any improvement. The problem for ghetto resisters was that the Nazi would punish a whole ghetto for the resistance of a single person. The Vilna ghetto resistance, led by Yitzhak Wittenberg, successfully blew up several German trains. The Nazis were besperate to catch Yitzhak. They told the judenrat of Vilna Ghetto that they would burn down the ghetto unless he gave himself up.
The name of the book that I read is the Nazi Germany the face of Tyranny. This book shows a lot of details of all the things that the Germans went trough. This book also shows the way that Hitler would trick the Germans. He would poison their heads and tell them lies about the Jews. The conflict between the Germans and the Jews started since the war world . The book also shows how the Germans fight dirty. They had conflict between each other for a long time. The conflict started getting worse after the Jews started doing the jobs that the Germans wouldn’t do. At this time many Jews worked as storeowners. There wee few vehicles left to carry food. So the food was more expensive and the Jews owned stores would have to charge more for the food. So this is another thing that the Germans got the Jews for. The Germans would say that the Jews were trying to get rich and that’s why they charged so much for the food. The book also has several pictures one of the picture shows a big fat Jew and that is the way that they would represent them. I think that it is sad that the Germans followed after Hitler.

The book that i am reading is called The Children We Remember
Before the Nazis had came, the Jewish had led a pretty normal life. I had seen in the book what kind of houses and towns they had lived in. They had went to schools, and got their education. And were able to go to pray in their synagogues [church] . Everything was fine, but the Nazis came. Everything had changed when the Nazis had came and everything was different. They had make the Jews sew patches on their clothes to identify them. The Nazis had closed all the jewish stores and schools down and burned down the Jews churches. They had taken their homes from them and the Jews were forced to live and sleep on the streets. Even when it was cold they would just rap themselves in rags. They had very little food and they would have to share the food that they did have with their family members. When people had gotten sich the children took care of them, even the old, and each other.<3 Nazis hated the children casue they were "Jews"
The book title is viewing the holocaust today. Its by Phillip brooks. I seen pictures that were showing different things like a slave was getting hit by the germen soldiers. An other one is that all the kids were lock up in a weir fence and they were happy to take a picture of them self's. An other one shows a older man the is lock up and he is showing is slavery numbers. An other picture that I seen is when all the woman were in a line with there hands up and the German soldiers were watching them what they are doing. i fell really bad for them slaves that what they are going throw in life now. They need better then that. Most of them already have kids of there own. The kids need better then that also. The kids are really important to others in life. I would really feel really bad for them and really sad for them.
+ Life And Death In Hitler’s Europe
+ By Jane Shuter
+ Throughout the book, I observe pictures of the German army, Germans at war, concentration camps, German citizens praising Hitler, the ideal Nazi family, the uniforms the children wore, and the reunion of the Jews in Budapest.
+ This book takes a closer look at the war and life in Germany while Nazis rule. As soon as Nazis came to power in 1933, they decided to purify German citizens. This meant to get rid of as many “undesirables” as possible. The Nazis standard was that the person had to have blonde hair, blue eyes, healthy, and full-blooded German. Although, many Germans who fit this criteria knew this was wrong, no one stood up to the Nazis. Other Europe countries did not stand up to Germany because they were afraid that it would have led to another world war. The families that fit the Nazis standards were not off the hook. Each family member had to become part of an organization. For example, Hitler’s Youth Group, the SS, National Socialist Women’s League, and the League of German Maidens.
+ It seems that no one was happy, not even the people who were allowed to be. I’m still very grateful to be an American and to not have suffered a tragic time like those of Germany throughout Hitler’s rule.

Hitler had a group of Youth fighters. He sent seventeen year old kids from the Hitler Youth to the concentration camps in Germany. By mid 1940 there were 60,000 Hitler Youth , aged seventeen and up. These kids were serving with the SS. Some of those and then some of the kids that followed, served as guards and preformed technical and administrative functions in the death camps of Eastern Europe. The Hitler Youth was well represented among those who carried out the Holocaust. When World War II began, the Hitler Youth boys aged ten and older. They were given rifle practice and training in military maneuvers. In 1942 special military training camps were set up for older boys. They were put through three weeks of the hardest training. The need for discipline and unquestioning obedience was drilled into the boys. I feel like this was good in a way because it taught little kids to know what to do, how to handle themselves in a situation. They shouldn’t have done it though because they were ten year olds.
Reflection- 3/15/07
George Schwab was born in November 1931 in Liepaja, a city of some hundred thousand people in southwestern Latvia. He was liberated in May 1945, while on a journey to a German death camp. Latvia, once an independent state, had been annexed by the Soviet Union in1940. The following year, after the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Nazis Occupied the country. Anti-Semitism was rampant. That was nothing new. The Latvians had long hated the ninety-five thousand Jews who lived in there country---but now that anti-Semitism intensified. Jews were robbed and beaten by both Germans and Latvians, and their apartments were searched for family treasures as part of a state policy of plundering Jewish property for the Nazis. George Schwab never even thought of going back to his home in Latvia.
The book I’m reading is called “displaced persons the liberation and abuse of holocaust survivors”. The book stared by saying how the time was by that time. How did the war was going it say that the war world II lasted for six years in Europe. It was won by the Allied armies of Russia, great Britain, France, and the United States. It was last by the Nazi Germany and all the satellite countries that was by the German side. It just talk about how all the war was doing and when the war was on the Nazis were creating a camp for the Jews and the rest of the prisoners they had. They made a lot of extermination camps. As early July 1944 the Russia army had went to German, to push German invaders back through Poland. They find all this Nazis death camps and they found that the Prisoners were brutally treated. Most prisoner died of hunger and typhus. Half million of Jews men, women , and children were shot to death of killed in the gas chambers. They also died on the ghettos because people on the stress killed them because of the propaganda that the Nazis did about them. On the picture that is in the book I see a lot of prisoners that are so skinny that they look like they are skeletons.
The Holocaust happened before and during World War 2 (1939-1945). World War 2 helped the Nazis cover up and excuse mass killings. The religion of the Jewish people is Judaism. It teaches that there is one God, who has chosen the Jewish people to be special. The Torah covers all aspects of life. Jews can only eat certain kinds of meats. They cannot eat pigs or rabbits. The meat they do eat has to be prepared by butchers in a particular way. Christian soldiers guarded the only two bridges off the island of the first Jewish ghetto in Venice, Italy. Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. In 1914, Hitler joined the German army and fought in World War 1. He was awarded several medals for bravery. Hitler had tried to take over the German government by force and had failed. The German people needed more room to expand into. Nazis believed that German citizens should be healthy. I thought that this book had a lot of facts.
Life and death in the camps
This book is about the life and living in camps. 1933 was when Hitler came to power in Germany. The Nazi’s wanted the Third Reich to be full of Germans who would obey Hitler and the Nazi’s. The Nazi’s started off by arresting anyone who they saw as a “political opponent.” Instead of putting them in prison, they were sent to death camps. Later on, they realized that the killings were dropping because less prisoners were being held in camps, so they began taking anyone and everyone who did not meet the standards of an honorable German. People who did not wish to agree with Hitler or join forces with him were also sent to camps. There were many different types of camps. Death, Labor and Concentration camps. At the arrival of a camp, you were to strip naked, have all your hair shaved off, and be disinfected in the showers. Roll-calls were frequent to keep track of the prisoners. No matter what the weather was, Roll-Call would happen in the rain, sunshine, or snow. There was a day when the prisoners were to stand naked in the snow for many hours for role call. Everyone was taken away from their names and given a new name. Kapo’s were German criminals who would watch after other prisoners and had the authority to punish the Jews.
HEROS OF THE HOLOCAUST
In this book I read all about how the Holocaust started. How they murdered six million European Jews. In the book it said it all started after Germany was defeated in World War One. They had no way of getting food. They had no jobs. And They blamed Jews for everything. They blamed the Jews because they studied differently. Because they dress differently. The Nazi party started with a committee of independent workmen opposed to communism. In September of 1919 twenty nine year old Adolf Hitler joined the party. The Nazis weren’t the only ones that hated the Jews. Also they didn’t only target the Jews but any person who wasn’t white. At first the Nazis started killing them by shooting them with machine guns. They didn’t think that they were killing them fast enough. So they had and idea they made gas chambers and giant ovens to burn people. Millions of people died on these dead camps. Thru out the years the Nazis got more cruel. Now people have been recognized for their heroic personalities. I think that the people that survived the holocaust are very brave.
Title of the book or Section-Legacy of Hate Describe what pictures you see: The picture of the learned elders of Zion was an influential, far reaching publication, as demonstrated by this 1937 Brazilian edition translated into Portuguese.
This section was about how the Jews were hated, why?becuase since they are a small group of people that minority were in the Muslim world, in the catholic world and in the protestant world. They lived among many other peoples, but would not merge with them. They would not compromise their religion or alter their code of behavior. They dressed differently, worshiped differently, and often spoke a different language. Their refusal to give up their religion and convert became a life and death issue. They used a Greek word to describe the result of their wanderings Diaspora. It means ‘scattering' or to scatter about. it describes the spread of groups of Jews throughout the world where they lived among different cultures and lifestyles.When these small groups of Jews came to each new place they were to be called outsiders.
The book that I read talked about how the Germans would blame everything on the Jews. They would blame them for even loosing a war. Since in November 1918 Germany’s defeat was bitter. The Germans blamed the Jews for the loss of the war. The book also talks about how a leader of a rebel and what this leader did was he was the first one to get up and turn back. Then they arrested the guy and this guy was Adolf Hitler. The war kept on going after this. Hitler still kept on getting famous and brain washing people. Hitler would also always tell people that he was born to be a dictator. Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. Hitler wasn’t born in German but in Branuna, Austria. Hitler was the third child of his father’s third marriage. Hitler's mom was twenty two years younger than his father. Hitler's father was very strict and mean to him. Hitler wanted to be a dictator since he was young. I think tat Hitler was so mean and miserable because of his father. I think that the only reason that Hitler was the way that he was because of his father.

In Section two of the book it talked about the occupation of the Germans in Denmark. The Germans assumed an easy conquer which is what happened on April 9, when the Germans easily destroyed the Danes air force before they could even leave the ground, and the Danish ships did not even give off a shot. The Danes were anti-German and anti-Nazi, though during the occupation they abided by the ideal of the Germans in order to avoid an out right war with the Germans. At the start of the occupation it was mostly normal, most business went as usual and things were not in short supply. The tranquility of the Denmark was displayed in its king as he often rode on his horse unescorted trough out the streets of Denmark the Germans found this weird as their Fuhrer was often highly guarded. The Danes thought as long as they had their king every thing was right. The first picture presented in this section of the book is of the king on his horse shacking the hand of some pedestrian, under the picture there was a text it read the king rode the streets daily during the occupation this was a sing directly defying the German occupation and many who lost faith in the monarchy of Denmark gained a little of it back when they saw their king “Quietly defying the Germans”. One person described In the book, resented the Germans and their occupation because they took the day old pastries this to me shows the Germans power in Denmark which they could take what they wanted. The Danes were not afraid of the Germans but they resented the occupation.
Denmark was a different place than before the occupation, they had a system of government that was not only for the rights of and individual but society as a whole. They believed in equal treatment as well as studying and creating laws together to better understand the issues presented. Like in every war there are two sides to each argument to sides to each coin, some of the Danes hoped for a German victory in the war thought they were small in number and most Danes despised them. To combat the growing propaganda in their nation they staged lectures in which they would give on the Ideals of the Danish democratic system. The section that I read before I left is the calm before the storm like in Night the Danes are not completely clued in to the full cruelty of the Germans. It is sad to consider that some of the Danes want a German victory in the war because most of the people of Denmark are living a peaceful existence and an occupation of the Germans would surely be wrought with chaos.
The book is called the Survivors of the Holocaust. The author of the book is Jane Shuter. In 1933 their was a Nazi party. There was a lot of soldiers or slaves in two rows of I’m guessing 20 people. Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. They wanted to create a new German empire. This new empire would be much bigger than Germany. The Nazis made a plan to take over other countries. It was believed that Germans were superior to all other races. They started to discriminate against anyone who they thought wasn’t a perfect German.
Heroes of the Holocaust
I am reading chapter two of this book. It talks about many people that helped the Jews. Some were anti Nazi Germans. There was this young lady that was tall blonde and blue eyed but she wasn’t German. Some people helped her out with fake Passports and phony visas so that if anyone asked her anything she would have proof. She worked at a store as a cashier. So she would keep extra passports and visas so that Jews could have them and they could travel without a problem. She helped many people. She new what the Germans were doing. She said she would do anything to help people and that she would risk everything if she had to do it over again. There was also a Countess Maria Helena. She came from a wealthy family. She was a German. Her brother was a Nazi. She also helped Jewish people. Once she fell in love with a Jewish guy named Hans Hirschel. He was threatened for deportation. She hid him in her apartment. Then her apartment was under surveillance. Throughout the war she hid more than sixty Jews in her home. One time she was taken by the Gestapo officer for questioning. She talked very good so they didn’t think that she was involved so they let her go. She later became pregnant. Her friend a homosexual pretended to be the father. She lost the baby. Then she went back to saving Jews. She helped them escape thru trains. Later she was on her way back home and Nazis were looking for her. She escaped. Another time she wasn’t so lucky. She got shot on the neck. She said she had done all of that because she had heard about the terrible things they did to them and she would do anything against them.
I read Diego’s blog. I think that it is really good. He gives a lot of info and examples. He explained how the Germans destroyed Danes air force. I learned how they didn’t think that the Germans were going to take over because their king was with them. I think that it is a really good blog.
The Germans took over a lot of countries between 1933-1941. Who ever helped Jews would be hung. The Germans would say bad things about the Jews. Some people would listen to American radio stations illegally. If they were caught they would get 5 years in prison or execution. In 1944, a Jewish Brigade was formed in the British army. 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.
reflection: I thought it was funny when the Jews attacked the SS. The Americans didn’t even do anything about it.
When the Jews arrived, the land Germany was already owned. The Germans didn’t want the Jews mixed with the Germans so they made buildings to put the Jews in and they just herded them together. The buildings they built were high and narrow so that kept the sunlight out. Germany never really noticed the things that the Jews did. They never realized that they always or half of the time wore skullcaps. They also dressed differently prayer shawls and or other clothes that had to do with their religion. By the early part of the nineteenth century the Germans had put really heavy laws on the Jews. When Germany became a nation, they let the Jews have a little bit more freedom. The Jews didn’t have as many restrictions as they did before Germany became a nation. I feel that they were just plain out crazy. I think that they didn’t have a motive to just do all this to the Jews but just to humiliate them.
