This was the first thing many Jews in the 1940’s saw as the banner above the gates of the place they’d likely die read. (Wachsmann) German soldiers fed Jews false hope, thinking that the harder they worked the closer freedom would be when in reality freedom could only come with death. The world changed forever when an estimated 20,946,000 people died due to the world war ignited by Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. The Third Reich was the name for Nazi Germany under Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) when it was a totalitarian state. Totalitarianism is a political system where the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever necessary. (Dictionary) Soldiers were killed in battle, Civilians in cross fire, and by starvation but nothing compares to the systematic execution and elimination demonstrated by the Third Reich sponsored death camps. Before the organized concentration camps that are well known throughout the world to have killed a countless number of people there were camps built in the early 1930’s when the Nazi’s first came into power. Earlier camps were temporary and were set up to confine, interrogate, torture, and weaken...

...During the time of World War II there were two types of camps made during this time. One was Internment camps for Japanese Americans and another was Concentration camps made for Jews. Internment camps may have been a harsh but they were not as bad as concentration camps. In Internment camps they wouldn't beat you for making a mistake, they let people go to school, and had good portions of meals. On the other hand, concentration camps made the prisoners work in terrible conditions, provided insignificant living conditions, and would beat and kill the Jews for no reason. Working in the concentration camp were pretty bad if you were a prisoner. The SS officer would never give any pity for the young, elderly, woman, or man. The prisoners would have to work all day till the break of dawn, in all types of weather. Let it be cold or hot, all they would have were their striped cloths. The things they worked on were war efforts, expansion of the camp and new building for the camp....

...The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Quiz Please write using complete sentence and use your own words for each answer. Be sure to check grammar and spelling. You may write on the quiz sheet, but it is recommended you use own paper for writing answers. 1. Why are Bruno (Asa Butterfield) and Shmuel (Jack) drawn to each other, despite their opposing circumstances? Bruno and Shmuel are drawn to each other simply because they are two kids of similar age that don’t have any friends where they reside. Despite their “political” differences, they were able to relate to one another by playing games and just getting a sense of each other’s daily lives and activities 2. Gretel (Amber Beattie) believes Father (David Thewlis) and his peers in their viewpoints on the persecution of Jews. Through Bruno is even younger than her, why does he question these viewpoints while Gretel does not? Gretel seems to believe in his Father’s viewpoints because she has the mindset of a realist. She backs up her views, along with the viewpoints of her father’s peers with the propaganda that she reads along with her professor’s teachings. Bruno, on the other hand, is more ignorant and naïve, which is very understandable for someone his age. His attitude towards the persecution of Jews is an unbiased one, and that the treatment that they receive is unjust and cruel. He doesn’t really grasp the magnitude of political differences that the Jews and Nazi’s have. 3. Contrast Father with Lieutenant Kotler...

...It seems like, that in “Indian Camp” by Hemingway, Nick and his father are doing a father and son trip. Nick’s father who is a doctor, seems plays a big role in this story. But actually Nick is kind of the main character. Uncle Gorge have asked the doctor to come to the Indian camp, where an Indian woman is very sick, she’s going to have a baby. On their way to the Indian Camp, nick is lying in the arms of his father, at the end of the boat. He is very near to his father, and seems to search love of this dad like a little boy. In that case I have to say that Nick is probably about 8-10 years old in this story. At the Indian camp, Nick’s father is trying to explain him what is going on in the little shanty. Nick act’s like he does understand that the woman is going to have a baby, and that it’s normal that she screams. But he clearly wants his father to make the woman stop screaming because he feels sorry for her. While the whole operation nick is standing in the Shanty watching most of the time his father doing his work. I think Nick is kind of scared what is going to happened. The fact that he looked away shows that he doesn’t liked what was going on, he felt bad by seeing another person suffer, but at the same time I think he maybe was a little proud too that his father can save this woman out of pain. After the operation things changed, we now know that uncle Gorge is most likely the father of the baby, and that the husband of the woman killed himself. Before the Doctor could...
