Introduction:

I was given a story about a person named La Chambon. This is based in southern France in a village. These rescuers risk there lives for Jewish refugee's. They hide them from the Nazi's

What did you learn from the stories of rescuers?

I learned that these people are very brave and really disagree with what the Nazi's are doing. La Chambon also helped a lot because it was something to do with there Religion. These people are brave because they were one of the ones who weren't afraid of Hitler. A lot of people followed Hitler because they feared what will happen to them if they did not do it.

What do they teach us about human behavior?

They teach us about bravery and to not forget what happened so it is not repeated. They showed us how they could help people. They teached us a lot about the religion of how it was part of there religion to do this. The rule of equality and respect to humans are common in most religions.

Victory!

I chose the poem Victory because it is interesting and I understand it the best. This poem is about Sonia Weitz and her father seeing each other for the last time. They new they were both going to die. Her father was once strong but then the Nazi's took him away to a concretization camp when he came back he was very weak. There last days together before they got separated. They were dancing and enjoying what they could, they new they would not have another chance. I found this poem sad and depressing because it is about 2 people knowing they will die and describing there last days together

HItler was lucky.


In this time peroid Hitler was very lucky. 1 of these lucky times were when The Treaty of Versailles was signed. Not many people like this so he said he could make this better if he was in control. Another example is when
the markets crashed he saw this as a great advantage because all the people weren't buying anything because of the treaty so he told everyone that he was against this and that he could make it all better if he was in control. After all this Hitler became chancellor. Then there was a big big surprise. The president died of old age and he was the only one stoping Hitler from becoming the president. Hitler again saw this as a opportunity and made himself president because he was second in command so it was his turn to become president. So he took control of germany.

The Nuremberg Race Laws

1. People who have three or four grandparents are considered a Jew. Regardless of what religion you are.
2. Aryanizing means that a lot of business owned by Jews were going to be over through by Germans. The germans would be buying them for fixed prices by Nazis
3.The Jewish doctors were not allowed to treat non Jewish people and Jewish lawyers aren't allowed to practice law.
4. They need to have a red J stamped of the card and new middle names Israel for males and sara for females for those who did not possess recognizably
