+Art, Music, & Writings from the Holocaust
+Written By Susan Willoughby
+The pictures I’ve seen throughout the section I read this morning were pictures of the art Hitler approved of and paintings of some of the artists that survived the concentration camps.
+Nazis destroyed everything. Hitler was extremely picking about what citizens were allowed to listen to, watch, and participate in. Adolf Hitler attempted to become a painter but was unsuccessful and when he had control of Germany he made his idea of art the only art allowed in Germany. Hitler also set his ideas about music. The most popular type of music in the 30’s was jazz. But Hitler disapproved because it was loud and brash. Hitler’s idea of perfect German music was from artist like Richard Wagner, Carl Orff, and Ludwig van Beethoven. Folk music and dancing were popular with the Hitler youth. While the Nazis “cleansed” Europe of the art, music, and writings of the Jews, Nazis were happy to make use of the Jewish talent in the concentration camps. In many cases, Jewish artists provided the Nazis with music and paintings instead of working hard labor to survive. For example, David Orlere survived because he wrote letters for the Nazis and decorated them with flowers. He was also a scholar who spoke six different languages, this knowledge made him a good translator.

U.S. immigration policy regarding the victims of the Holocaust was far from compassionate in the years following World War 2. Public opinion was generally against the admittance of refugees to this country. It was feared that these refugees would take jobs from Americans, especially from recently discharged members of the U.S. armed forces who were returning to their homes and in need of employment. There was also concern that many of the DPs were either Communists or Nazi collaborators and that too many of them were Jews. In December 1945, however, President Harry Truman, Sympathetic to their plight, ordered that the DPs be given preferential treatment under U.S. immigration laws. Unfortunately these laws, enacted in the 1920s, contained quota systems that discriminated against refugees from Eastern Europe, where most Jewish DPs had lived.
I would like to know how i am doing in your class. If their is anything I can do to get an higher grade, and more credit in your class, please let me know.
Irene Gut Opdyke was a teenager when the German Army invaded Poland in 1939. She was forced to work in an ammunition factory, and then a laundry for the army. At the same time, she began helping Jews to escape from the Nazis. Resistance to the Nazis shows how Irene Gut Opdyke was just one of many ordinary people who found ways to resist Hitler. There were also female kapos at women camps. The SS had dogs, and they were behind the Jews all the time. If one of the prisoners collapsed, the dogs would be all over them. The camps also had orchestras. The orchestras were made up prisoners, and they would play for the SS. The people at the hospital wre given less food because the SS said that they weren’t working. Some workers stole parts to make a radio and listen to religious services on the radio. People were only allowed in the bathroom first thing In the morning and that’s it. People were so hungry all the time that they would even scoop up the disgusting camp soup from the ground.
Reflection: I thought the Jews did well in resisting. They had a lot of help though.
i was wondering if i was doing really great and so far since i been here the work that i have finished do it seem like i could do better or im doing okay for a student who havent been here for very long, and what can i do to make my grade that i have now better, like maybe i could take a project or something that has to do with history or anything

I thought that this book was very interesting because it tells you about the “deniers” and who they really are. The Nazis called it the Final Solution. Jews died of sicknesses like tuberculosis and diseases caused by the bad conditions of the camps. The Final Solution was enforced by a variety of methods. Some Jews were literally worked to death. Thousands of Jews were rounded up and murdered in mass shootings, which went for hours, and sometimes even days. Half or more of the Jews who died in the Holocaust were choked to death by the fumes released by crystals in the gas chambers of the extermination camps. Some died of starvation. Some froze to death in the unheated ghettos. I thought that this book had tons of information. When Austria had beef, German troops moved in around 1938. The Germans who tried to help Jews, always had to be anonymous. They always had there life at stake. I think that it was very brave for the people helping out the Jewish people because their putting their own lifes on the line.
Section title: countries of conscious
Picture description: king Boris of Bulgaria greets Adolf Hitler on a visit to Germany.
summary: In this section it talk about how there was one man left in the anti-Nazis and his name was to be Bulgarian. This man was Georgi Dimitrov,a Bulgarian communist accused of setting fire to the Reichstag. This man was on trial he approved himself that he wasn’t alive to hurt people, he was luck that he survive.Becasue Bulgaria was with the Nazis, the Germans turned over to the country territory taken from Yugoslavia and Greece. This section also talk about how only a few people survive in Netherlands. Later than the Nazis wanted to make the capital city of Sofia, Bulgaria. The plan was to round up Jews and ship them off to the camps. people from Sofia were not happy with the change they were very disappointed.
The name of the book that I read is the camp system. The book that I read starts out by talking about how the how the Nazi party started. The book also explains how they wanted to eliminate the undesirable. The undesirable are people that they saw that didn’t have blue eyes and looked like a German. The way that they tried eliminating people is by putting them in a camp like a prison. The reason why this camps weren’t regular prisons is because the people that went to the camps wouldn’t do crime and they didn’t have a day set for there release. The Nazi lied at first by saying that the whole purpose of the camps was for to re educate prisoners to accept the Nazi idea. The earliest camp were the concentration camps and it was meant for the political opponents. I think that it is sad how no one did nothing about what was going on since the beginning maybe they would have been able to save many people.
This morning I read Life and Death in the Camps. This morning I took the time to read about the camp system. I read that in 1933 the Nazis came to power. Obviously they were being led by Adolf Hitler. The Nazis wanted to create a new German empire. They wanted to create the Third Reich. This empire was supposed to be way bigger than Germany so, the Germans decided they needed more land, they were going to take over some countries. The Nazis only wanted this to be pure German race, people who would listen to him and the Nazis. They began to take action against anyone who would oppose them or didn’t fit the category of being a German citizen. The Nazis then began arresting people who they saw as a political opponent. They didn’t put these people in jail, they set up special prison camps. These jails were different from any other ordinary jail, the prisoners in the camps were in jail without trial and no date for their release.
I think it was a good thing that they might have not mixed the Germans with the Jews because they would have tore them up. Maybe if a Jew would have fought back they might have executed him for hitting a German, if a German might have done it though, it might have been okay.
The book that I’m reading is called “Prelude to the Holocaust” and the section that I'm reading is called hating Jews. A lot of Christian churches in German were happy because of the help the Nazis were giving to the poor and that was against communism. Church organizations did not openly criticize the way the Nazis treat the Jews. But they were a number of church members who bravely citizens Nazis anti-Semitism but they were sent to the concentration camps or executed. The catholic church did not protest against Nazis anti-Semitism. In 1933 they made a agreement with Hitler that they can not attack the church if they did not get involved in politics. So the Catholic Church did not speak out against Nazis anti-Semitic policies. But catholic groups that were not control by the Nazis protest and set up organizations to help refugees, especially non- Aryan Christians. Some Catholics condemn the Nazis and other support them. A girl married a guy that was catholic and when she will go to church with him the people did not wanted to sit near her or sing songs when she was their but the priest accept her so his congregation turn against him too. When Bernhard Lichtenberg of Berlin ask his concretion to pray for the poor and the persecuted Jews he was arrested and sent to the concentration camp where he died. In here their a picture of the Nazis harvest festival in 1933. Hitler wanted to get ride of the Christian churches because he wanted people to just believe in the Nazis state. But he new that a lot of German were so into churches that for a moment he was not going to do anything. He wanted people to not believe in god no more. All this thing that I read were some bad and some good like that priest that they killed because he was praying for the Jews I think he was going to go to haven right away because he was a good person and all the Nazis are going to hell for what they did. A lot of things that I think like Hitler that was trying to make people not believe in god but he couldn't do it. If the churches would try to stop the Nazis probably they were going to win and stop them.
The Children We Remember is a picture book telling and mainly showing the effects the Nazis had on Jewish families. Constant underfeeding left many prisoners too weak to eat when they where liberated. These prisoners at the camp were given sugar to suck to keep their strength up. The sick could not work, so the ss saw them as a drain to the camp. In the first six month, 6000 prisoners died or were killed because the conditions made them too ill to work. They decided that some sort of gassing was the quickest, cheapest, and least upsetting for the murders.
Lucy said this section is about that world war 2 began and jews were living in the ghetto., since they were living in a poor neighborhood. Some of them lived in towns and villages all over Poland. Many of the jews families had lived in this area for hundreds of years
