We started by talking about the fact that we have an extra credit opportunity, if we change our picture to something from WW2 today we will get 5 extra credit points. That's awesome. Then Erin did her blog on the movie Casablanca, and we got back into the slideshow. We talked about propaganda. We then started talking about the holocaust, something that's actually interesting. Sorry, Mr. Bruns. :p The holocaust was basically just a mass killing of jews, and other people like disabled people and gypsies. 6 million out of 9 million european jews were killed. HItler also killed politial opponents. Around 11 million people were killed in this time period. Other people Hitler deemed inferior were blacks, catholics, jahovas witnesses, homosexuals, mixed races. The aryan race is blonde hair, blue eyed, white, anglo saxen (Germany, UK..), and Non-Protestant Catholic, tall, and muscular. The original term refers to a people speaking an Indo-European dialect. Lebensborn-Fount of Life-program aimed to promote the growth of the superior race by providing excellent health care and living conditions to women and by restricting access to those deeped fit. Houses were set up through Germany..they were basically breeding houses.
Hitlers Jewish Question-1933.-Nazis "temporarily" suspened civil liberties for all citizens in 1933, never restored. Nazis set up first concentration camp in 1933, the first inmates were 200 communists. In 1933 they took away jews rights to work in government, and they couldn't be teachers or doctors, and the students couldn't go to school.
