When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, they forced over 300,000 Jews into a walled 3 square mile area called the Warsaw Ghetto. Conditions in the overcrowded Ghetto rapidly deteriorated, with residents receiving barely enough food rations and many dying from starvation, disease, and poor sanitation. Beginning in 1942, over 300,000 residents of the Warsaw Ghetto were deported to Nazi death camps like Treblinka, where most were killed.

6a sources of colonial dissatisfaction
As Great Britain sought to tighten its control over the American colonies following the French and Indian War, colonial dissatisfaction grew. Great Britain imposed taxes like the Stamp Act to raise revenue to pay off war debts. Additionally, the Proclamation of 1763 restricted colonial expansion westward. This increased control and taxation without colonial representation in Parliament led many colonists to become resentful of British rule and dissatisfied with their lack of autonomy, sowing the seeds for the American Revolutionary War.

Journalism a very short introduction writing & journalism ( pdf drive )
Journalism is facing a paradox - it has never been more influential due to new technologies enabling widespread and instant distribution of news, yet it is also facing unprecedented criticism. While news is now ubiquitous and free, concerns exist that abundance and lack of direct payment could lower quality and undermine in-depth reporting. Instant journalism also enables reputations to be destroyed quickly without proper understanding. Political reporting focused on media spectacle rather than substantive issues also threatens democracy. However, new technologies also enable new forms of interactive and engaged journalism.

US History: Early Cold War - Late 1940s, 1950s, and Early 1960s
The early Cold War period from the late 1940s to early 1960s saw increased tensions between the US and USSR as communism and capitalism divided the world. The Truman Doctrine established the policy of containment to prevent the spread of communism in countries like Greece and Turkey. The Berlin Wall was later built in 1961 to divide communist East and West Berlin. During this time the US also faced civil rights issues and debates around racial integration intensified with events like the Little Rock Nine and Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat. The Cuban Missile Crisis under Kennedy nearly resulted in nuclear war between the US and USSR over Soviet missiles in Cuba.
