I want a snow day :(

Today in class we discussed the homework questions from last night and talked about the different sides to the Nazi party (accomplishments vs ruthlessness). We then watched some scenes from the Encyclopedia of the 20th Century DVD regarding the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the collapse of Germany during WWI, the Treaty of Versailles, the Roaring Twenties, Mussolini & Fascism, and Lenin.

We also read pg. 61-68 and discussed the answers to #8-13 on pg. 68 (refer to photo of the board for answers).


Homework:

Context: German fears of being overrun by 'subhumans' and other 'undesirables' were raised in the 1930s, but had a long history.

Research Antisemitism, noting especially for how long Jews were persecuted throughout Europe and the Middle East. Create a one page report, double-spaced. In your report consider how anti-Semites, justified their discrimination, when many of them considered themselves belonging to the Christian faith. (1 page double spaced) DON'T FORGET TO PRINT IT OUT

Use 3 sources and include a bibliography. Due tomorrow :(
