Amazing facts you need to know about AustriaStefan Andrei
From Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to Schönbrunn Palace, Austria is filled with a rich history, beatifull mountains and rich culture. Here are 15 interesting facts about Austria you need to know.
Those who attempted to rescue Jews and others from the Nazi death sentence during World War 2 did so at great risk to their own safety. In Denmark, over 7,000 of the country's 8,000 Jews were saved by citizens who hid them and ferried them to neutral Sweden. Over 13,000 individuals who risked their lives to rescue Jews have been honored as "Righteous Gentiles" at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, though thousands more remain unrecognized. Allied troops who liberated Nazi concentration camps in 1945 were shocked by what they found, including large ditches filled with bodies, rooms filled with children's shoes, and gas chambers with fingernail marks on the walls.
1) Heiligenblut & National Park Hohe Tauern and Velden Casino & Lake Wörthersee are among the top 10 sights in Carinthia. The National Park is the largest in Austria and covers 1800 square km of land. Velden is popular for its casino on Lake Wörthersee.
2) Other important sights include the Romanesque Gurk Cathedral, the medieval town of Friesach known for its walls and fortifications, and the ski resort of Bad Kleinkirchheim which is among Austria's most visited destinations.
3) Additional sights are Burg Hochosterwitz Castle, known for its 14 gates, Lake Ossiach which offers many outdoor activities,
Vyborg Castle was built in 1293 on a small island in the Gulf of Finland by Swedes during a crusade in Karelia. It is Russia's only fully preserved monument of Western European medieval military architecture. While externally unchanged since its reconstruction in 1888, it was altered internally. During World War II, the castle suffered only minor damage from fires and was turned over to the Soviet military after the war. In 1964, the Ministry of Defense handed the castle over to become a future museum, which opened in 1970.
Guy Fawkes and other Catholic conspirators hatched a plan to blow up the English Parliament in 1605 due to King James I fining and executing Catholics, known as the Gunpowder Plot. The plotters rented a house near Parliament and began tunneling, but were delayed by flooding. They instead stored 36 barrels of gunpowder in the cellar. Guy Fawkes was left in charge but was discovered and arrested on November 4th, 1605 after which he confessed under torture that he was involved in the plot. The other plotters were killed or captured and were later tried and executed for high treason in 1606.
Doug Smith took a dream trip to visit many important historical places. He visited Winston Churchill's Cabinet War Rooms in London where Churchill led England during WWII. He then traveled to Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England where Churchill was born. Next, he visited the Palace of Versailles in France where the Treaty of Versailles ending WWI was signed. He also saw the Normandy American Memorial and Cemetery in Normandy, France honoring soldiers who fought in WWII. His travels continued with visits to Adolf Hitler's Eagle's Nest retreat in Germany, the Spanish port of Palos where Christopher Columbus began his voyage to the Americas, and the city of Kiev in Ukraine which was destroyed by Mongol invaders.
Jedlinka castle in Poland is considered a mysterious place due to legends of ghosts and buried treasure. It is said that ghosts can be heard tapping and shuffling in the attic when no one is around. During World War II, a sister of the castle's owners, Erika Bohm, had three boxes of silver and porcelain from the castle buried on the property before the front lines overtook the area in 1945. While the location was told to someone, the exact spot where the treasure was hidden remains unknown to this day. Unexplained noises and a rumor of buried valuables have led to Jedlinka castle gaining a reputation as one of Poland's most mysterious locations.

The Holocaust was a systematic genocide of approximately 6 million European Jews and millions of others by Nazi Germany between 1933-1945. Key events included the Nuremberg Laws stripping Jews of citizenship, Kristallnacht resulting in mass arrests and violence against Jews, establishment of ghettos and concentration/death camps, and the 1942 Wannsee Conference formalizing the "Final Solution" of industrialized mass murder. The Holocaust demonstrated how racism, eugenics and state power can enable industrialized genocide on a massive scale.

Wake Up and Power Up- Why Educators Need to Pay Attention to Gaming and Gamif...ISTE
Educators should pay attention to gaming for several reasons. Gaming engages students through dynamic environments, artistic rendering, and scenery. Gaming principles align well with educational principles through quick feedback, leaderboards, badges for achievements, and student choice and pacing. Gaming can also support content learning as games often include historical figures and events to provide context. Educators are encouraged to learn more about popular games, discuss gaming with students, and find ways to incorporate gaming elements and discussions into lessons.

One slide understanding the holocaust project
1. Description A few of the thousands of wedding rings the Germans removed from their victims to salvage the gold. U.S. troops found rings, watches, precious stones, eyeglasses, and gold fillings, near Buchenwald concentration camp. Germany, May 5, 1945. T4c. Roberts. (Army)NARA FILE #: 111-SC-206406WAR & CONFLICT BOOK #: 1130 http://www.ww2incolor.com/dramatic/wedding-rings-jews-holocaust.jpg Understanding the Holocaust Project
Editor's Notes
To understand this project you must understand its motivation, its genesis. To do that I have created a one slide presentation. Yes, one slide. One slide...one title... one picture says it all.This picture is of a box of rings. Rings taken from Holocaust victims at Buchenwald concentration camp. At first blush you may look at the picture and think, "Wow, that is a lot of rings". You may reflect further, that it is by extension, a lot of victims. Yet, what this project is really all about.... essentially about, is that the rings are represent so much more. Many of us, have rings. With few exceptions rings are a token of wonderful things, weddings, friendships, anniversaries, loved ones past. During our quietest moments we think of our rings and reflect on these good memories and times. They are our hopes, dreams, and happy times. Yet here in this picture, we see a box of rings, but don't we see more? When we think deeply about this picture we come to understand that here lies peoples hopes and dreams.... shattered, by a hatred and cruelty that is STILL hard to fathom.You see, to understand history, to love history, to appreciate all its meaning and nuances, we must see into it. We must look into history through our own minds eye.And that, Charlie Brown, is what this project is all about.It is about not just learning about the Holocaust, but as the title suggests, Understanding the Holocaust.It is my wholehearted belief that by giving kids the tools to view history simulations through a virtual environment, that it will give them one more level of understanding as to the context and minds eye view that is essential to deeper understanding, and by extension, the higher order understandings of compassion, of bias, of bullying, of power, of leadership, and on and on.I'm going to show you the elements of the project, but before I do, let me finish this one slide presentation with a quote that I came across from watching television on a rainy Saturday. To quote from the movie, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium,"Unlikely adventures, require unlikely tools"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457419/quotes?qt=qt0429664"I present... the Understanding the Holocaust Project.
