On this day we started taking notes again. Here are the notes I took:
Mein Kampf: A book Hitler wrote while he was in prison. Told of Aryan people being the master race and that the Jews were responsible for all of the troubles of the world. Also about the expansion of Germany into Russia. Considered democracy a waste. Means "My Struggle" in German.
Hitler's Rise to Power: Gets out of prison early and realizes he must legally take over the country. The Great Depression hits. Hindenberg appoints him Chancellor, only to die, leaving Hitler Fuhrer.
Nazi Propeganda: Rich people like Einstein left the country after Hitler began controlling it. Those who were poor were stuck. Press and media, schools were controlled by propeganda.
Themes of Nazi Propeganda: Swastica, Anti-Jew, Adolf Hitler, and Militarism.
The Holocaust: Six million Jews, at the time 1/3 of them, were killed. Not only Jews, but beggars, the homeless, alcoholics and the unemployed were sent to concentration camps. Human experimentation. Curfew for Jews at first, then camps. Biggest crime in worldwide history. Revolts in death camps. Sacrafice by fire is German word for Holocaust. 33000 Jews killed in two days in one camp in the Ukraine. Newborn babies were tested to see how long they could live without their mother. Docow was the first concentration camp outside of Germany.
