The Nazis wanted to create a huge German empire called the Third Reich. The largest group of people killed were the Jewish people. The Nazis killed between five and six million Jews in what has become known as the Holocaust. Blitzkrieg was a lighting war. The Germans controlled some countries by influence. The Nazis had strong ideas about racial superiority. The Nazis began by passing laws that stopped Jews from working in certain jobs. In 1923, Hitler and the Nazis had tried to take power in Germany by force. They failed, and Hitler was sent to prison. Once they were in power, the Nazis lost no time in persecuting Jews. They started by trying to get people not to buy goods from Jews. These Nazis are going around urging German people not to shop at Jewish stores. I thought that “Vargas that’s 4sho” s comment was perfect. I learned that each ghetto was run by a Judenrat. I thought that he did a good job, and the paragraph has no kind of mistakes.

In addition to the continued danger of genocide, Europe remains threatened by the rise of right-wing politicians who wish to drive foreigners out. In 1999 Austrians voted Joerg Haider and his freedom party a big share of power in the government. Many of Haider's followers have a long history of anti-Semitism and argue that foreigners have been the cause of much of Austria’s economic troubles. The world reacted with alarm to these election results. On February 1, 2000, Haider’s freedom party announced they were joining with another, less extreme party to lead the Austrian government. Germany has experienced increasing attacks on foreigners by neo-Nazi teenagers.

Today the book that I read talks about how Hitler became the dictator of German nation. The book also talks about how before Hitler Germany had a president name Hindenburg. He would compete with Hitler and challenge him.
At this time the Nazi party grew slowly in the 1920’s. Hitler was in prison for seven months and that was when it was growing slow. When Hitler was in prison he wrote a autobiography. At first this book wasn’t the best seller it had only sold 9,473 copies. After a while this book sold more and more and sold over a million copies. Since the Nazi party started getting popular and more popular Hitler had over six million votes in 1930 election making him the second largest party in Germany. So time went by but President Hindenburg was still alive. In August 1934 president Hindenburg died. So Hitler had enough votes to be al leader making him in control of all of Germany nation.
I think that it is a trip how Hitler became the leader. I don’t see how so many people could be so dumb and follow a person like Hitler.

I read Diego Benitez blog and it talk about how the Germans easily destroyed the Danes. The Danes thought that having a king everything was going to be okay. Some of them had already lost faith but they got their faith back when they had seen their king. To me this tells me that they wont do anything in order to have a king .The Danes were very strong they weren't afraid of the Germans. What I didn’t know was that the Danes were so involved with society.

Title of your book or Section:
The final solution.
Describe what pictures you see: This picture haves a women freezing to death at the belzec concentration camp in Poland.
This section is about that world war 2 began and Nazis were living in the ghetto, since they were living in a poor neighborhood. some of them lived in towns and villages throughout Poland. Many of the Jewish families had lived in this area for hundreds of years. The Jews kept themselves occupied in clothing factories, some of them were merchants. The women job was to sale their greetings in marketplaces. The children would play with each other to keep themselves entertain. The Jews were forced to march through bitter winds and driving snows, often at temperatures about -40 degrees. The age didn’t matter it went to the youngest to the very oldest it didn’t matter if the old people would suffer in the cold temperature. Some of this people did survive but the illness that they had was called tuberculosis and typhoid these illnesses made them weaker since they didn’t had no medicine to be cure they had to lived with it.

The title of the book is called the life and death in the camp. It was writing by Jane shuter. Some of the pictures that I seen was when all the men where all naked. They had no clothing on. I seen an other picture that was showing men where drinking off the floor. They didn’t care how they were drinking what they were drinking. I seen an other picture that they were looking all hungry. They had bites of food in there hands. they has the camp systems. They showing how they are working. They were showing how they were living the camps. They had many death camps that people did not what to be at all. They were showing how they were working in the slavery camp. Most of the people look really sick and they look like they were going to die anytime. I fell really bad for this book that I seen and read today. I wouldn’t take it at all if I was living like that.

The book I read today is called “viewing the Holocaust today”. In the book I read it say that the holocaust it was named system by killing six million Jews between 1935 to 1945. when the holocaust begin I German it stared when the world war II stared. The Nazis hated the Jews but they not only target them they also took 200,000 mentally and physically disable people were killed. Gypsies, homosexual, Jehovah's witnesses, and prisoners of war were also taken to the camps. In 1918 German was defied in world war I. They were on a really bad situation economic troubles. People were in German were suffering hunger and other important thing that the country needed. So Hitler claimed that he had the answer for all those economic things people believe on him and he came on power more he say that all those things that German’s were suffering could be blend on the Jews. The trouble stared when all the people believe on him and stared butting the Jews on the stress. They took the Jews properties and left them with anything. Later they were force to live on the Ghettos and men and women will have to clean the public bathrooms. When they decide the final solution Hitler order to take them on concentration camps, labor camps others were death camps. They made the gas chambers to killed them fast. On of the pictures that is in here I see how the SS is butting a Jews guy in front of a lot of prisoners. This was on labor camp. The blog that I’m Is about how Hitler went to power and I think she did a good job because I could understand what she read. It also talk about how Hitler wanted to blame everything on the Jews.

Reflection-3/16/07

Many European Jews had since the turn of the last century and the emergence of the Zionist movement, dreamed of establishing a state of their own in Palestine, a Middle Eastern land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. In 1920 the League of Nations had given Great Britain a mandate to govern the territory, at the time inhabited by both Jews and Arabs.

The blog that I read was Allison’s. It was about the book “life and death at the holocaust”. In it she pointed out several things that showed how highly the Germans saw themselves. So high up that they sent people to exterminate when they thought they apposed them. They were taken as political prisoners to death camps which to me sounds insane but during this time their was no real sense of the limits of the cruelty of human beings. The process she described to get into the camp was the same as the one described in the Book night so it was not exactly new information but the way she described it brings more of a feeling that Jews were not the only ones that faced such cruelty at the hands of the “honorable Germans” .
Morning blog #3:In the next small section of, section two the occupation, of the book “Darkness over Denmark” it is the turning tide. The Danes are starting to face the some of the same problems as the other European Nations, shortage. Heat and fuel were all in scarce supply as wood and fuel were rationed until far after the war. Because of the short supplies not only did they had to depend on other means of transportation such as bicycles but people who were in a spot in which their carries depended on fuel such as taxicab drivers used cow dung and wood pieces as fuels. Another recourse in short supply was leather because of this the clogs were popular with the Danes. As the war continued Air raids became more frequent. In the book in described an incident in which a girl, who saw the European Bomber as heroes, was instructed to go home if she herd the air raid siren and to school if she had passed the bridge the siren rang and she was half way in the bridge book described her fear as she contemplated whether to go home or to continue to go to school she decided home and she never regretted it.
Although they were in such harsh conditions they stilled displayed national unity as they sang patriotic songs which were later banned by the Germans when they realized that their singing was unity and not just some random act. There were several stories in which are yet to be proven truthful but demonstrate the resentment that the Danes had against the German’s occupying force (they were funny). The thoughts of the Germans wrought their minds even on a peaceful day. In one incident the Germans took a woman in for holding her nose as she passed trough the barrack of the Germans officers because of the smell she admits that it was foolish and she did do it in anger at the Danish woman who were with the German officers she was just taken home. Later in the war insulting the German soldiers would lead to jail time.
This is still not the high point in the conflict but tension is building and will escalate soon. The Germans are for a fight as patriotism is high in Denmark and when you are willing to die for freedom of the nation there is little an occupying force can do. Change must come from the inside if the change is to remain permanent because the Danes where so patriotic the propaganda failed to do mush to the already imbedded Danish beliefs.

I read Ajay’s blog. He didn’t say the title, but the book was basically giving a lot of information about how life was in the camps. Life in the concentration camps were very hard. Everything is taken away from them. It’s a very confusing, embarrassing and hectic for the Jews.

The liberation and abuse of Holocaust survivors.
World War II was in action during the whole Holocaust. World War II was won by the Allied armies Russia, G.B, France and the U.S.A. The prisoners who survived the holocaust were basically skeletons, their skin was eaten away by lice. The survivors were given food to get better, but at that time, it was not known to slowly gradually eat different types of food. Their stomachs could not handle most types of food, so many of them received diarrhea and died in large numbers.

+ Resistance To The Nazis
+ By Jane Shuter
+ The pictures in this book show a map of Germany’s expansion, Jews being hung to die, secret radios, Jewish armed forces, and the prisoners.
+ This book tells about the people who resisted the Nazis. Some Jewish people got far enough from Germany to fight against them alongside of the allies. The Jews joined any other country who wanted to fight against Germany. World War II broke out in 1939, and various countries were fight Germany at different times. Nazis did not allow people to listen to the radios unless they were Nazi approved broadcasts. If anyone disobeyed this rule, they could any punishment from 5 years in prison to execution.
+ I read Lucy’s blog and it was about how Jews were hated for the way they worshiped, dressed, and acted differently.

Elie was probably confused with whether he should give the water to his father or not because the water would harm him, but refusing to do it made him feel worse because his father would say things to make him feel bad. After Elie finds out that his father finally is dead, he does not weep. I think that Elie had gone through so much and saw his father suffer so much that it was most likely better off with his father dead so he did not have to suffer anymore. Plus, being dead was basically like getting away from all the pain and suffering the Nazi’s brought to them. I wonder how and what kept Elie going during his final experiences as a German prisoner. If I could talk to him, I would ask him questions like “What were some of the first few things he did when he was free.” “How long did it take for him to feel like he was living a regular free and normal life again.” “Has he gotten into any contact of any family members that survived it also.”

Children of the holocaust

In this book i had read about the children of the holocaust and how they were treated and mistreated. The punishments they had gotten and the bruelty that was broughten upon them and how they sufferend through a lot of pains and how they were a lot of deaths that had occured in there lifes and how they lost they whole family cause of the Nazis. Some pictures that i had seen in the book were of kids that were severily injured. Children that had sat alone by themselves. That look and seemed helpless. Lost trapped and confused.

I have chosen A JS. I think he what he wrote was true. It provided many facts about Hitler and his early years. He also talked about what the Jewish people were like outside the holocaust witch was interesting. He informed me about the young Hitler and a little about the Jewish life stile. I think he could improve in the amount of info that he gives, frankly it was quit short.

The book I have chosen is life and death in hitters Europe I see pictures of propaganda and ideal German or arisen families and such. I see pictures of Nazi ideals and stuff of that sort. I learned that while the countries that the Nazi took over were run differently. Some things were done the same. The Nazi tried to introduce there ideas everywhere. They were the most successful in Germany itself they had more difficulty in countries that had a long history's independent countries such as Denmark and France. Even then there success varied. There was a large group of anti-Semitic people in France than in Denmark. For instance so these people were more likely to accept Nazi anti Semitic. However this acceptance did not mean likely to accept Nazi rule. There resistance movement fought German occupation just as fiercely as the Danish resistance. I think that the Nazi were full of them self's and did not acknowledge other cutlers. Hitler's plan hade no were to go but down.
