Video on the Holocaust

Please ask your parents first before watching this movie. It is graphic in places and it would be your parents choice to let you see it.

Harry's New statement: I still think the killing of the Jews was planned after WWI. Hitler started hating foreigners before the WWI and he joined a communist hating group after WWI.

Kristie's new statement: this week i thought about whether or not the holocaust was planned i think hitler planned to take over germany and create the perfect race but i do not think that he planned to massacre two out of every three jews. 

Hayden's: I think that the holocaust was planned long before the start of WWII as Hitler believed that it was the Jews that made Germany lose WWI and he stated in a speech that if war broke out he would kill the jews.

Kendall's: I still think that the Holocaust was very unnecessary, but now I think that the Holocaust was planned from the start way before Hitler started it.

Matt's: I think that what Hitler has done was utterly atrocious and that if he could see what destruction he has made he might not of done what he has done.

Harry's Statement: I believe the Holocaust was thought of before the Nazi party even came to power.

Matt's statement: Adolf hitler made a statement which was later published into a book called 'Mein Kampf' or 'My Fight'.

Hayden and Elliot: The Holocaust was horrific and sucked because millions died. The population went from 9.5 million to 3.5 million.

 

Kristie's statement: I think the Holocaust was very horrible and that all those jews shouldn't have suffered because of their religion. Hitler committed a very horrible crime and was obsessed with the 'perfect race'.

Kendall: I think the Holocaust was very unnecessary and so many people died from it.

The Holocaust

Each reading group in our class is going to add to the blog as we explore the cause of the Holocaust. They will be asked to explain where they are in their thinking and some of their reasons.

Today's group is Kabuki.

Today we are learning about the Holocaust. Hitler copied the so called 'Master race' from Friedrich Nietzsche, who first suggested the idea.
If you are thinking about what caused the Holocaust? Nothing actually caused the Holocaust, it was a deliberate policy by the German government, personally conceived by order of Adolf Hitler. Hitler believed that the Jewish people were vermin, therefore they were a threat to superior humans [Germans].

The Nazis wanted to annihilate the entire the European Jewish community.

I think that what happened back then was wrong and disgusting and should never have happened. Even though Hitler believed this and he thought he was right, he was not. Hitler used propaganda even before he was in power and he was successful. He made people think his way.

I think that what happened back during the Holocaust was wrong and Hitler should of been good instead of bad.

I think Hitler used really good propaganda to influence the people to make them think his way, but this is wrong because he is lying to get his own way.

I think what Hitler did to these people was wrong because those people did nothing wrong to him.

This was put together by a reading group as their task to demonstrate their understanding so far.
