What I have learned is that The Holocaust was caused because of Hitler when he was a boy. I also learned a lot about The SS Hitler’s solders and the leader is Himmler . Also that Anne Frank hid in the secret annex.

A few spelling errors and one capitalization error.

I learned that Hitler killed himself because he'd rather die than be humiliated. Word was, the Soviet troops planned to lock Hitler in a cage and march him down the streets of Germany. Instead, he and his wife, Eva Brauns, each agreed to commit suicide. Eventually, Hitler was buried in the shadows of the Berlin Wall.

I also learned what the Kindertransport was. It was a British rescue system who's mission was to rescue as many Jewish children as possible. Germans allowed the children to go as long as they brought no valuable possessions with them. In the end, around 10,000 kids were rescued.

I learned that Hitler used little girls and boys with blonde hair and blue eyes to see if it was possible to recreate the perfect raise. How would you feel if your daughter called you and said, “Mommy 90% of the girls here are pregnant and guess what? I am one of them”. I know I would be so mad because my daughters would be way to young to have children because they are children themselves. Also when one of his Soldiers was hurt in any way he would cut of the Jewish man’s body part and sew it onto his Solders as a replacement! Yuck! That’s just sick and cruel of him to do that. He also tested radiation, chemicals and all sorts of diseases on the Jewish people to experiment on the strengths and weaknesses of the human body. It’s a good thing he didn’t come out of hiding or else he knew he would die for all the damage that he did to Europe. In World War 2 many Jews ran away to America and they landed in Elise Island, New York.

There are many fascinating details about WW2; however, the expirments,diseases, and the deaths are just fascinating. First of all, the experiments were pretty disturbing. One of the experiments were that the doctors would cut off the limbs of people and try to transfer them. Experiments like drinking acid were very cruel, what’s the point of that! The diseases, all in all, were very dangerous. A common disease was Typhus witch was caused by an itch mite. And Amenorrhea was caught 75%-80% by pregnant women. The deaths, last but not least, were very high. About 4 million Jews died in WW2. The total amount of people who died were 11 MILLION PEOPLE!!!!!!The diseases, experiments, and deaths were the main three things I have learned of WW2.

There are many interesting topics from which to choose. Therefore I started doing a bunch of research about just the holocaust in general. During this project I learned that the Holocaust was a tragedy. Adolf Hitler was the tyrant behind the Holocaust. Hitler became Chancellor In January of 1933. Then he started giving lectures about rude things the Jewish where doing; which were lies. The Swastika was the symbol that represented the Nazi party. In February that same year the Nazis opened the very first concentration camp. This camp was called Dachau. Dachau was about 10 miles northwest of Munich in southern Germany (Holocaust National Museum, June 19, 1991). During that same year camp Dachau held about 5000 prisoners. He singled out the Jewish and anyone who refuse to become a member of the Nazi party, and sent them off to execution camps Hitler’s plan was to make the perfect race. His idea was to kill every Jew and kill others that either have Jewish in them or had any disabilities. He Had a rule to kill everybody but people with blonde hair blue eyes. Even though they had blonde hair blue eyes they where held on backdrop for tests to see if they had any Jewish in them or any disabilities. Many more concentration camps arose. In 1939 the German Nazi’s invaded Poland. They singled out the Jewish and anyone who refuse to become a member of the Nazi party, and sent them off to execution camps. Some Jews were not as lucky as others, the disabled where sent to the Harthein Castle to be by gas or lethal injection. Dr. Clauberg was a physician that did these experiments and he was also worked at the Auschwitz camp. The Jewish where forced to live in barracks among the dead. Nazi’s took everything including ancient synagogue titles. Nazi’s would torture people in the streets. The Nazi’s would also shoot the innocent and dump them in mass graves. Families were ripped apart and sent to different camps where they were forced into slavery. Jewish slaves pulled rail cars and scrubbed the streets. The U.S., in the end made the Nazi’s burry every single Jewish body. Thousands of bodies where sent to the Hadamar cemetery. In 1945 the U.S. freed the Jewish survivors. The survivors cheered for the U.S.. The women that where taken from Poland where sent back to Poland. Soon after this all happened a U.S. soldier found Hitler dead in his bunker, along with his wife and dog. The U.S. declared that he did this himself so he knew that he didn’t stand a chance against the U.S.

Hitler killed many Jewish people; however,I learned many SHOCKING facts about his family.Hitler's grandfather might have been Jewish!Hitler had 4 siblings.Edmund, Paula, Alois JR.,and Angela.Alois JR and Angela were his half-brother and half-sister.Only Hitler and Paula survived to become adults.2 died of diptheria and one died shortly after that were born.Hitler's father's job was to ba an Austrain Imperial Agent.Klara (Hitler's mother) stayed at home to take care of her children.

I learned a lot about Hitler and world war II but I think the most fasinating topic is the Russians liberation.I learned that the Russians attacked Finland and killed more than 25,000 Finish.I also learned that Hitler attacked Russia because he wanted more fertile land.He thought that Germany's future depended on large packs of fertile land in the east which was Russia.So they attacked Berlin and sent bombers and paratroops to take out the Germans.In the end almost all of Berlin was destroyed.

Even though we think that Hitler is a terrible man it does't mean that people alway's thought like that. For a while there was good news about Hitler giong around. During that time all of those people who heard that good news followed Hitler. That is what he wanted.Then bad news began to pile up.This is when people began to turn away from him and from "Allies" to destroy him. To me this is the most interesting fact that I have learned so far. I have also learned that the Jews wore a yellow star and that the Jehovah's witnesses wore a purple triangle on their consiontration camp uniforms.

When people think or hear Hitler's name, they think of the brutal acts and murders he committed. As he was a child, he was abused and beaten by his father, Alois Hitler. He also had a sister and two half siblings. Hitler’s real sister was Paula Hitler and his two half siblings are Angela and Alois Jr. During Adolf’s childhood years, he passed on his beatings to Paula and she recorded the events in her diary. His lifelong dream was to become an artist, but the school he applied to refused him because he dropped out of high school when he was only 15. Soon after his mother died of cancer and her caretaker was the Hitler family doctor. Dr. Eduard Bloch was Jewish, and caused Adolf much anger.

The Holocaust is very intresting, however it wasn't the best thing that happened on our planet in history. Hitler made many girls get pregnant and write a letter home telling there moms that 90% of girls are pregnant and I'm one of them. Hitler also used Jewish body parts from Jewish people and sowed them on his soilders when they need those things. He also tested radiation by expirementing on Jewishh people and to see how much a human body can stand with so much radiation and pressure. Jewish people were garbage to the Nazis. Hitler's dad is Adolf Hitler. Hitler lead the Nazi's party at the Reichstag. Hitler killed himself wth his wife and girlfriend ina bunker.

I have learnd that hitler was a terrible man.He was a terrible man because he was in carge of killing over 11,000,000 people.I believe it was 6,000,000 jews and 5,000,000 others.He was bolth jealous and angry of the jews.He hated the jews because he didnt get into a certain art school.His mom died of cancer and it terns out the doctor was jewish.Another reason to hate jews but as a kid he cleand jewish people drive ways he thought that the jews were better and ritcher than him.So he got angry and made an army and that army killed all of those people.There was one family who managed to escape and hide this family was the Frank family.It would probably be easier for it to be familiar if i said Ann Franks family.

The holocaust was a very sad time ; however, It was not the worst thing ever. Throughout this project I have learned that Dachau was the very first concentration camp. Since there was nothing like Dachau they called it a work camp. Dachau was originaly made for members of the political party. Dachau did not have any jewish prisoners until hitler gave his"I hate Jews" speech.

Here is what I found most interesting in the holocaust. I thought it was pretty cool when we talked about the experiments done on prisoners,so I think I mite talk about three experiments done on prisoners.For starters, I will tell you what the doctors did on prisoners.The doctors would cut off a limb and sew on some other prisoner to see the person body would get use to it.Also, I will tell you what mine makers would do.The mine makers would take mines put them in a field and have prisoner run into the mine to see how well it would work.In conclusion, I will tell you what chemical and toxic gas makers would do.Chemical and toxic gas makers would put prisoners in chambers where they would fill the room with the chemicals or toxic gas to see how effective it was.Well I hope you had fun reading this.Even though I thought the experiments were cool doesn't mean it was your favorite.

The Nazi Party's meanness was the most surprising part of World War Two to me. The way Hitler killed Jews was terrible.
Over eleven million people died. Six million of them were Jews. Mussolini helping Hitler during World War Two was surprising. Both of them together thought they could take over the world. It was a good thing the United States stopped them. Or we could all live under Nazi rule today.

Sorry Mrs. Gamez disregard the previous blogs I was not taking my time and didn’t put the blog in word before I posted sorry for wasting your time.

This project was really fun, however looking for information was a challenge .Something interesting I learned was that Hitler's life did not start out as a leader. Surprisingly, unlike most leaders he was an orphan. After he dropped out of school he moved to Austria. It was in Austria, while in a men’s home, Hitler adopted his anti Jewish attitude. He grew up and rose to power and it was the day he rose to power he started to gain the trust of people. Then he began to use propaganda to make people hate the Jews. That was the time when WW2 started.

What I thought was shocking about Heinrich Himmler, was that he was so loyal to Hitler. Himmler did everything that Hitler demanded. The question was why Himmler was so loyal to Hitler and why didn't he try to kill Hitler to have things his way. If Himmler assassinated Hitler he would have all the power. Himmler could have been the most powerful man in the world. I'm not saying that I wanted that to happen but but it could have happened. Since he was so close to Hitler, he could have done it at anytime. I didn't understand why he didn't, or didn't want to. I guess it's all a mystery.

This is a good way to do our research however it is very challenging.Once Mrs.Gamez was talking about Hitler and there were these wonderful camps for german children.Those camps were for joy and happiness for the german boys and girls.But he did this for a very specific reason.He brought boys and girls together at the camps.He then would believe that the girls could have children.Thats when girls would write to their parents and say they were pregnant and their friends to and act like its funny.Hitler believed he could increase the population of the perfect race and have soldiers of the future.I always thought Hitler was sick and twisted like his people.

The Holocaust is incredibly entertaining however; Its quite shocking. Hitler killed 11,000,000 Jews! Hitler had black hair and brown eyes, yet he kills people who have brown hair and eyes. He shoved millions of people alive or dead in these ovens. Hitler wanted perfect race and would do anything to get his "perfect race." He killed himself as he found out that he finally was getting killed. He killed people brutally. Hitler had a camp for boys and girls and made them have children so he could soon have more men and women for more of his soldiers, "the Nazis." Hitler had thousands of camps where many had died. In the Auschwitz, people say you still smell the stench of the bodies being burnt. All in all, you see I've learned MANY things about the Holocaust!.

asnell1
2/1/2011 11:50:48 pm

I have learned much about the Holocaust, especially about the Holocaust Train. The Holocaust Train transported Jews (and others) to the concentration camps from Spring 1942 until Fall 1944. The box cars transported, (at the most) 160 captives. Some people thought they were 'buying their freedom'. Others knew the Holocaust Train's destination. An average transport took 4 1/2 days to get to the death camps. There was no food and/or water provided for this trip. Once at the death camps, the Jews and others were seperated into two groups; the strong and the sick,weak, and young. The second group went straight to the gassing chambers. A quote by Henry Van Dyke: "Some people are so afraid to die, they never start living".

I have learned a lot about the Holocaust. Hitler killed 6 million Jews. 11 million others. Hitler wanted a 'Perfect Race'. That would be blond hair blue eyes. That dose not make sense because he had black hair and a black monchichi on his lip. Ann Frank lived in a secret annex. Also Hitler started world war 2.

AKemp1
2/2/2011 01:07:20 am

I have learned many things about world war two; however, I think the most interesting is the fact that he would dye other people’s eyes. He had a type of poison that he would squirt into people’s eyes. That certain poison would turn their eyes blue. Also, I think this fact is also very interesting; the fact is that he would kill people of hyperthermia. The most common way for him to do that is to take the victim outside bare in a sub zero temperature! The victim’s nerves would slowly shut down causing the heart to stop pumping. Also the ear grabbing fact is that Hitler would kill a person by burning them. One of the ways to do that was to put them in a hot bath and slowly increase the water. Final they would die from shock!

A shocking thing that I researched was about Hitler's grades. I read that he had great grades in grade school and a bright future ahead of him. When highschool came for the young Hitler, he had a hard time at first because the resent death of his brother. he got held back and his grades improved. That didnt last long because his grades soon began to slip again. His father's anger grew stronger and stronger as he continued to disapoint him. Hitler wanted to become an artist. Hitler's dad Alois wanted him to become a government worker. The two argued nonstop begining with highschool.

I've learned numerous amounts of thing, but I thought the most interesting was over 11 million people were killed! I think Hitler needed to take a chill pill or something. He had no right to kill all of those innocent people. Hitler did not kill them him self, he ordered his soldiers to. Hitler actually killed himself. I never knew that besides when i learned about it here. To even think of living near a concentration camp and smelling the horrid smells gives me chills. I couldn't have lived with myself if I were living there next to one.

What I have larnd from the war was that. Hitler mother died of cancer. Then Hitler blamed the Jews for evry thing bad that happend to him.Also he did not have good cooping skills at all.Also he killed him self with a gun,not a pil.Hitler did some teribal things and people dont wont that to happen agin.No one wants to have a wold war three. The most importent one of all is the concentration camps.

Also it's interesting that Hitler's perfect race doesn't mach what he looks like. He doesn't have blond hair or blue eyes. How long did it take for him & his followers to kill that many people?! I feel bad for their families. Also I’ve never heard of anyone as crazy as Hitler. Not even present day psycho paths are as crazy as him!

There were many things that I thought was interesting and shocking things. The most interesting thing that I thought was most shocking was how the Nazi army had tortured the Jewish people. The Nazi army had many ways to torture the Jews. They would gas them in a gas chamber, they would hang them, and they would even do experiments on some of the Jews. The most interesting thing that I had learned was that there was a group that wanted to kill Hitler and they were Nazis to. The operation was called Valkary. The operation went wrong. When the bomb was set to kill Hitler it was tipped over and someone moved it so Hitler survived. The operation was so close to being completed until the bomb tipped and was moved.

There was the prison camp, the neutral camp, the Hungarian camp and so on. I will tell everyone the rest in class. I have also learned that 600 people died per day. There were a lot of reasons, being gassed, starvation, and experiments. There are many things that caught my attention but these were the most interesting, in my opinion.

Hitler killed millions of jews, however millions of other people have died from his crazyness.I have found out many facts about the holocaust and the main and most important fact is how many people died in this suffering.The most shocking fact i found out was that Hitler feed jews sawdust in concentration camps.That is just cruel.I also think that 11 million people died just because Hitler was trying to create a perfect race.There were trains of dead people sending them to their graves.I just dont understand why Hitler did these horrible things.I think that the Holocaust was a very horrible display.

2/2/2011 12:21:14 pm

I learned that Hitler sent all people that weren't perfect to Concentration camps. People who were perfect to him had blond hair, blue eyes, and pure white skin. At the concentration camps they would beat and starve all the people there. What shocks me was that all the Jews didn't fight back even though they had all the nazi soldiers out numbered 100 to 1. I think they were so shocked about what was happening they didn't know what was going on. If I were in line to be killed I would think heck, I just die fighting for freedom. After I would probably be shot, the others might have had the same thought then would do the same thing. What shocks me was that the nazi soldiers went though doing all these gruesom things to these people. Were they scared that they were going to be killed if they wouldn't follow the commands of Hitler? Did they think that Hitler was doing the right thing for their country? What would the wives and children say about whats was going on in Germany? Didn't they have a right to speak out for what was right for Germany? I think a lot of people thought that the Nazi soliers(and Hitler)were doing wrong for their people. I thought that they were scared to tell the what they really thought. Well Hitler finally figured out that he lost the war and killed himself berfore the American soldiers could arest him. All the people that were arrested said that they werent appart of the war so they were walked though the camps and had to barry all the bodies that were rotting propperly.

I have learned that what Hitler did was so sad. The holocaust was worst then I thought. one thing I have learned that shocked me was no one stood up to take a stand, but just stood there and watched them die.Hittler would stop at nothing to make the perfect raze. I know he was authority, but that does not give him the right to kill every one who did not match his expectachons.I have learned that if one of the Nazi would have stood up for the Jews. It would have been a lot different for the Germans. The world would be better if people like Hitler never did what he did.

well what I've learned so far about World War 2 is that they were all treated realy badly.It was just sad that when the people were getting killed the other people just sat there and wached them die.If hitler wasn'nt born everything would've went just fine.Just because hitler wanted the perfect race everything went bad.

I've learned many things that have happened during the war.The people were treated badly.People were gettting killed,and most people had seen other people get killed.Most of Natiz's stood up for the Jews.The world would of never been thee way it was if Hitler hadn't of done what he had done.The things that he did were terrible.The things that were done to innocent people were sad.Innocent people died just ebecause Hitler didn't get what he wanted.He tried to make a perfect race.Eventhough, Hitler wasn't perfect.

The most shocking thing I learned about WW2 is that Hitler killed himself during an Soviet invansion.Hitler was to scared of being captured so insted he comminted suicede.He was with his wife and right there they killed their dog and then just killed themselves.The Russians were planning on capturing Hitler but Hitler got away with killing himself so everything didnt work all according to plan.The Russians did want to put him in a cage and walk around the streets of Hitler to show his plan backfired.Hitler is buried now in the Berlin Wall.Which i think the workers are beating his body with a stick like a Pinate.Im suprised by this fact but at least Hitler finally got what he deserved.

The interesting part was how Hitler made this happen with out no body finding out what he had done. Another part that was interesting was that it lasted about three years. It was shocking that my project had at least 89,000,000,000 information. I learned that Hilter had over 29 different camps and 40 camps. Also that there was about 9 different types of groups in the experiment camps. The shocking part was that Hitler had in idea that he was trying to make the German race to multiply. He was trying to do this by making a pregant women to have twins. Then he would try to make them a Nazi soilder. Also that he had a personal physician and a gereral major. His name was Karl Bandit.

I have learned many things about the Holocaust. The most shocking thing that I learned is that Hitler killed 40 million people and more. Though it’s crazy how Hitler could kill so many innocent people, and sleep with clear conations. He experimented on children and adults; he killed anyone that didn’t fall under his category of perfect and sent teenage girls to teenage concentration camps to get pregnant! Hitler had many brutal ways of killing people especially the Jews. He would send them to gas chambers and see what gas would kill them not only that but he would set Jews on fire. Hitler was mentally crazy or something because he could spare no one that was Jewish he would ether send them to concentration camps, kill them, or send them to geodes. It’s crazy how someone like that can come to power and get away with so many crimes, but in the end Hitler killed himself because his rain of power came to an end.

The most interesting part was that i learned about WW2 was Hitler.I never knew that Hitler was in WW2.He was a very rude and irrogent man.I think he had no right to rule over the Jews and Germans.I think he was actually being a coward for running and killling himself.He should have been brave enough to at least take credit instead of killing himself.I think that almost everyone agrees with me.Thats what i know and learned about WW2.

The most interesting thing that I have learned about the Holocaust is that Hitler killed 40 million people during World War 2. He wasn't the only one killing the Jews he had followers. When Hitler was alittle boy he thought the Jews were so much better than him he started hating them so much he started killing them. Also Hitler liked art and he wanted tojoin an art class and the proffesor said "No". Turns out the proffesor was a jew. On January 3 Hitlers fathers died. Hitlers fathers na,e was Alois. Hitler died when he was 60.

Anotherone is that hittler hatted that jews were better than him.Also hitler went way to far in the halocaust. Why would you do that????.just because what tipe of race you are. Doesent mean you can kill peaple. Also I think the halocaust was a bad sight. Because all the consentration camps. They say that you can still smell death today.=(

The most interesting that I think happen was “The Night of the broken glass’’. Also, I Think the other big was when then the solider started kill the Jews. The interesting was that Hitler killed himself instead take his punishment like a man. The other interesting was that Hermann Goering helped Hitler kill the Jews. The other crazy think was that people actually thought Hitler was good person.

To me, the most shocking advent that happened in WW2 is when I found out what experiments Germans did to the Jews. I was told that the Germans did it to find out different ways to kill Jews slowly so it’s a torture. Mostly they tested with gases that were poisonous. Also when the Jew Dies the Germans usually burned the bodies and stacked them up dozens of feet. But it was not just the Jews that got tortured and tested. Different races all around the world were taken to camps barley fed. While I was doing my presentation learned about a kid named Alexander who was a Jewish survivor of the holocaust. Nothing good came from the world wars.

I learned a lot of things during this unit such as I learned that Hitler was a very horrible person. He did lots of terrible things however; he was driven by anger because he was not accepted into a art school that was lead by a Jew. So later on in life he was picked to be chancellor, now he was driven by his previous anger and he was driven by power. He was a very evil man, but like I said he was powerful. Also there was a act against Hitler called Valkyrie which was a act to assassinate Hitler. Resistance groups made prison runs and one of the biggest prison runs had 2,000 prisoners and only about 20 survived. Eventually the U.S went to germany to destroy Hitlers rain. Hitler knew he lost the war so he shot himself in the head. We have recently found Hitlers skull.

The most interesting /shocking thing to learn about the holocaust was that the people did not care about what was happing outside there door and just seeing those dead people was so scare. However, the whole story of the holocaust was scare. I don’t understand why the Germans did not report to someone about what was going on, how did they sleep with that stench of dead people in the whole city. How did Hitler sleep at night when he knows how many people he killed. They also are great at keeping secrets because we did not figure out what was going on for a long time. I could not imagine being in the holocaust. It’s very shocking what people do today and years ago. As you see that is what I think the most shocking thing is in the holocaust.

jrojas
2/3/2011 05:56:09 am

What i have i learned is that many people have lost there lives just because of one horrible event.Hitler was just a man before he even started all this.Hitler could've just have a perfect life but he decided to ruin it by going and sending other people to kill inisant people.I have also learned that bodies were burned after geting killed.The soldiers piled them up and then burned them just to make sure they were dead.Hitler also killed his wife but I'm just happy they didn't have any kids.If they were to have kids Hitler would've killed his wife and his kid.So this is what I have learned about the Holocaust.

I have leared so much about world war 2. Hitler attacted the smaller lands because he new that if he came for America that we would kill him. He killed Jews because he thought they were his powerful enemie. Also I leared that my great grandfarther was in world war 2. People that were put in consentration camps and were fed newspaper. Hitler made them eat newspaper so they would feel full. Another thing he thought that free merchents were part of the Jewish consperisy. That is what I have learned so far.

What I have learned about the Holocaust is that Hitler killed many of inisint people. His race was blond hair and blue eyes.When people saw Hitlers picture they couln't belive he had black hair and brown eyes. The most interisting part is that Hitler aloud girls get peregnet at the age of 12 or 13.Hitler also, oprated on twins. He wanted to know how he can creat his little army. Hitler killed himself and his wife when the U.S. found out what he did to inisent people. Hitler did not have children because he might be afraid the kid is a diffrent race.

I have learned that Hitlers side man Goering helped jews. I think that Goerings brother was a jew and he helped Goering save poeple. At the end of the war Goering and his brother were arrsted. He told the police he helped people and gave them a list. The people he put on list were found. The people all said yes. So Goering and his brother were set free. Hopefully after this project we learn more abou he Holocaust.

I have leaned that for torure they would have to stand for hours. They would skin them alive. They would not use torure as a punishment. When Hitler was a kid he wanted to become an artist. When the died bodies pits got fule, they got a wagens and moved them. When Hitler new that he was losing the war he shot him self. One of the top men tried to bom him and evey one died, but him. The russins got in the war.

In this lesson, I have learned about the evil deeds commited by Adolf Hitler during World War II. The most interesting to me is his methodes of disposing his enemys which were mainly Jewish people. He would first put them to work at consintration camps against there will. After any consintration camp owner heard of Russians coming to free them or were givin orders they would place them in gas chambers. I have herd many storys of individuals that where taken from there homes my Nazis and some were very young, others elderly. The consintratoin camps intrest me because those place there had experienced so much hardship because of one man. These actions were not justified in my opinon because he only blamed the Jews for there success and good business. Yet eventually, they were defeated and Germany had lost to the Russians, allowing those held captive to be free at last.

I have learned alot about the Hollacaust ,however one of the most interesting things I found out was about Anne Frank . I found out that after 2 years in hiding she was found and captured on August 4th 1945 . I think that it was crazy they came so close to not being killed . Anne Frank's family was first transported to Ausiwitch were they were processed . Then they were sent to Bergen-Belsen killing camp . Otto Frank was the only Frank that survived through the Hollacaust. Around 1947 her dad published her diary . So I hope this info that was awesome to me was cool to you too.

I may of learned a whole lot about Anne Frank, however, I think this is the most interesting fact. When Anne Frank was in hiding she wrote a whole diary about her life. Today her diary has helped us realize how lucky we are to be alive. In her diary she wrote about being in an attic for two years and the sacrifices she had to make. One of them was sharing a shower with the family. She also could only run water at night after business hours. I also thought that it was cool that she had a positive outlook on life. I think that because most people living in an attic and in a camp would be negative and sad people but she stayed happy each time. In the beginning I used a however statement.

Adolf Hitler was just one man but he was responsible for the death of eleven million people. The most shocking thing that I learned is how he was able to persuade all his soldiers to take part in torture and exterminate of all those innocent people. It’s hard to believe that something this tragic could happen .Hitler used so many things to make people fear or hate the Jews. He used plays and even children’s books to make them look bad. It’s sad to think people would be so quick to believe those things. It makes me glade it can’t happen again. I used the and but so and or sentance.

Almost 2,000 American soldiers were killed on the day of December 7, 1941. The day that is also known as the Pearl Harbor attack. I have learned that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor because they didn't want the U.S. to disrupt their plan to conquor Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. I have also learned that the Japanese Empire was a very powerful army. Also, after the attack on Pearl Harbor president Roosevelt declared war on Japan. The U.S. would soon win that war. To get back at the Japanese Empire the U.S. nuclear bombed the Japanese in two of their biggest cities. pmercado3 you have a couple of covention errors. You could have been a little more descriptive with your words. Such as for Anne Franks secret hideout. You could have said Anne Frank hid from the Germans in a secret annex.

Many people think their is only one way to help Jewish people during the Holocaust but they are wrong. Kurt Gerstein helped many Jews but not by physically rescueing them. He spread the word to other countries about the tortures and cruel stuff Hitler was doing. He was one of the hundred that risked their lives to help the Jewish. These people were honorable and heroic. The reason many soilders of Hitler would do this is because it was a life or death situation. Well many people are positive that if you don't physically rescue people you are useless to your country but every helper can add up. Another way to help Jewish people is to be a doctor. Not many people think of it that way but saving one life every hour is thanked by many people who were tortured and killed by Hitler and his army.

There are many interesting topics from which to choose. Therefore I started doing a bunch of research about just the Holocaust in general. During this project I learned that the Holocaust was a tragedy. Adolf Hitler was the tyrant behind the Holocaust. Hitler became Chancellor In January of 1933. Then he started giving lectures about rude things the Jewish where doing; which were lies. The Swastika was the symbol that represented the Nazi party. In February that same year the Nazis opened the very first concentration camp. This camp was called Dachau. Dachau was about 10 miles northwest of Munich in southern Germany (Holocaust National Museum, June 19, 1991). During that same year camp Dachau held about 5000 prisoners. He singled out the Jewish and anyone who refuse to become a member of the Nazi party, and sent them off to execution camps Hitler’s plan was to make the perfect race. His idea was to kill every Jew and kill others that either have Jewish in them or had any disabilities. He had a rule to kill everybody but people with blonde hair blue eyes. Even though they had blonde hair blue eyes they where held on backdrop for tests to see if they had any Jewish in them or any disabilities. Many more concentration camps arose. In 1939 the German Nazi’s invaded Poland. They singled out the Jewish and anyone who refuse to become a member of the Nazi party, and sent them off to execution camps. Some Jews were not as lucky as others, the disabled where sent to the Harthein Castle to be by gas or lethal injection. Dr. Clauberg was a physician that did these experiments and he was also worked at the Auschwitz camp. The Jewish where forced to live in barracks among the dead. Nazi’s took everything including ancient synagogue titles. Nazi’s would torture people in the streets. The Nazi’s would also shoot the innocent and dump them in mass graves. Families were ripped apart and sent to different camps where they were forced into slavery. Jewish slaves pulled rail cars and scrubbed the streets. The U.S., in the end made the Nazi’s burry every single Jewish body. Thousands of bodies where sent to the Hadamar cemetery. In 1945 the U.S. freed the Jewish survivors. The survivors cheered for the U.S.. The women that where taken from Poland where sent back to Poland. Soon after this all happened a U.S. soldier found Hitler dead in his bunker, along with his wife and dog. The U.S. declared that he did this himself so he knew that he didn’t stand a chance against the U.S.

I have learned many diffrent things about Hitler and the Holocasust. Hitler killed 6,000,000 Jews and 5,000,000 others. The total number of people Hitler slaterd was 11,000,000. The Holocaust was a great tragity. If you have ever seen the Band of the Brothers it explaness alot about WWII. It helpd me understand how and why they started the war. Hitler was a monster. He had brown hair and a monchichi on his lip. That doesnt make sence because he wanted a perfect race. that perfecet race would be blond hair blue eyes. That mad no sence at all. Hitler was crazy. In the end Hitler killed himself!!!!!!!!:)!!!!!!

Many different things spoke to me in the Holocaust, however something truly jumped out of the page. The Holocaust started in 1933 and ended in 1945 (a year after Anne Frank died). The word Holocaust originally came from the Greek word, “Holokauston”. This work really means “sacrifice by fire”. Hitler was targeting on gypsies, Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses and many for human beings. Hitler murdered himself a pill. His wife said she could not live without him so she murdered herself too. Hitler also killed his dog on an experiment. Did all this information on Hitler actually speak to you?

2/5/2011 04:23:39 am

Some people think that as soon as Hitler died, WW2 ended, those people are wrong. When Hitler died, no one knew that. Meaning the war went on. The war went on until the Nazis surrendered. Then they started to free the surviving Jews.Then WW2 ended. P.S. I didn't see any corrections to tell people. Good job everybody.

What I have learned about the Holocaust is that is was a terrible time that was completly grusome that was the death of more than 500,000 Jews. Hitler wanted to kill or torture anyone who was not like him. Many poeple died from the Holocaust that did nothing wrong and were punished with the life. Hitler was known for his Anti-Semeiteism which made him be the killer of millions of Jews. There were many terrible things that happend during the Holocaust. Many places called Concentration Camps that were were basically made to kill and tourture the inhabidence. Most people got there by Trains that killed many people when they were riding on them. Seth your spelling is perfect.

One fact I found very interesting was the fact that the Nazis that worked in the concentration camps didn’t even care at all for the prisoners. The officers pleasured in abusing the prisoners. One time they hosted a "wedding" of two prisoners for their entertainment. Then as an act of pure cruelty, they brought all the participants to the gas chambers. Another way the Nazis showed cruelty was when they would take a man of woman out of the lines for the gas chambers to bet him up for no reason at all. The next day he or she was to injured to work so he or she was brought to the gas chambers. It was as if the Nazis either didn’t have hearts or their hearts were as cold as stone.

well i learned many things such as how the Jewish were tricked into going on to the train boxes. it is just sad how the world worked back then. I also learned that Hitler`s art grader was Jewish as well. Oh! and that the doctor that was treating Hitler`s mother was Jewish as well. I also learned that the two twins the Germans experimented on had to be hurt to see if the other would also feel the pain.It is so sad what they did to kids that were special back then. It just is heart breaking

I learned that in the holocaust, during world war two at about the early 1940s, the prisoners and inmates were experimented on in horrible ways. Many experiments had to do with ice, sea water, sulfonamide, malaria, and such. When I first read about it I was furious and pitiful. The Nazis shouldn’t have had any rights to do this to all the people. It was terrible because by the end of World War II a reported 11 million Europeans were killed and 6 million, estimated, were Jews. Many doctors felt no sorrow, pain, or sadness conducting the experiments. One doctor, Dr. Josef Menglee, had killed so many people that at the Auschwitz concentration camp they nicknamed him the “The Angel of Death”. A lot of the conducted experiments ended in death, disfigurement, and permanent disability. Most people tested, commonly twins, would be injected in the heart and killed with a fatal substance, then dissected and their organs taken to the institute of Biological Racial and Evolutionary Research in Berlin. Cruel, brutal, and sad things happened at the concentration camps.

I’m checking Ashley Snell’s SCR,

Hi Ashley, your paragraph and sentence structure was great. Your punctuations were spot on. You could’ve added why you put the quote on your SCR or how you can relate to it. Also you could’ve used higher vocabulary and word usage. I loved how you put the quote at the end. All in all, you did amazing as always.

The Holocaust was a terrible tragity. I have learned many diffrent things about Hitler and the holocaust. For examle I learned that they did testing on people to try to change their eye color. Many people died or were seriously injured during this surgury. They also killed pregnat woman to see how long it would take the baby to die. Woman were some times put threw a forced labor. Many mothers died during this. These people were very sick and had no right to do any of this. Just because some people were jewish and didnt have blond hair blue eyes that made them a target to die. This is really horrible and messed up because Hilter didnt even have blond hair blue eyes. Why wasnt he a target? There are many questions to be asked and still answers to be found. Hitler did end up comitting suised. He took some pills and then shot him self in an underground bunker.
