[|THE HOLOCAUST & WWII]

COMMENTS:

GROUP 1: That 12 million people were murdered during Hitler's reign. GROUP 2: The Jewish people were forced to wear a star that identified them as Jewish or they were arrested. GROUP 3: We already knew the information in the video, but it was still very impactful. Pictures showed the true essence of what happened during the Holocaust.

GROUP 4: We did not know that Hitler targeted Asians and other non minorities (ie: Gyspies, disabled men and women)

[|Ghetto and Camps] COMMENTS:

GROUP 1: Respect for the Jews that stood up for their rights in the ghettos and concentration camps.

GROUP 2: The Jewish people were forced to live under very poor conditions in the ghettos. GROUP 3: Even though there was no hope, they still resisted because they thought it was their duty. GROUP 4: Continued admiration for the professor and his family/friends for having to endure such a struggle.

[|ADOLF HITLER]

COMMENTS:

GROUP 1: Hitler was good at subjects like history, geography, and art but did not do well in most other subjects in school. GROUP 2: Hitler was a dictator that wanted to cut off the Jewish blood line.

GROUP 3: Hitler's father influenced his upbringing and his brutal actions.

GROUP 4: His poor school work and adequate grade in German.
