The document summarizes key events from 1919-1941 that led up to World War 2, including the Treaty of Versailles which imposed harsh terms on Germany after WWI, the rise of Hitler and the Nazis in Germany, and their implementation of racist policies and persecution of Jews that escalated throughout the 1930s, culminating in the mass murder and genocide of Jews and other groups in Germany and occupied territories during World War 2 known as the Holocaust.
This document provides an overview of Nazi Germany's escalating anti-Semitic policies and propaganda against Jewish people from 1933 to 1945. It describes the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses in 1933, the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 that stripped Jews of their citizenship and legal rights, the violent Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938, and the establishment of ghettos from 1939-1945. The document also discusses how the Nazi regime used propaganda, education, and Hitler's beliefs to normalize anti-Semitism and indoctrinate Germans to view Jews as racially inferior.
The document provides background information on the road to World War II from 1919 to 1941. It discusses key events like the Treaty of Versailles, rise of Hitler and Nazi party in Germany, appeasement at the Munich Conference, and the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact. The document outlines territorial losses for Germany after WWI, restrictions placed on its military, and reparations that contributed to resentment in Germany. It also summarizes Nazi policies that oppressed and persecuted Jews and other groups in the 1930s-40s leading up to the Holocaust.
1. The document discusses the history and rise of antisemitism in Germany, focusing on how Hitler propagated antisemitic views to turn the German population against Jews.
2. It describes how Hitler grew up during a time when both historical and new "scientific" forms of antisemitism had taken root in Germany. As leader, he implemented propaganda campaigns, passed anti-Jewish laws, and allowed violent attacks on Jewish communities.
3. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 deprived German Jews of citizenship and forbade marriage or sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews, reflecting the Nazi goal of separating Jews from the rest of society and denying their basic rights.
This document summarizes Raul Hilberg's stages of mass murder during the Holocaust: 1) Jews and minorities were defined as "others" through discriminatory laws, 2) Isolation through hundreds of anti-Jewish laws and restrictions, 3) Emigration was encouraged through laws and terror, 4) Forced removal to ghettos with terrible conditions, 5) Deportation from ghettos to camps, and 6) Mass murder through shooting, gassing, and forced labor where Jews were overworked and murdered. It also provides a timeline of key Nazi actions against Jews in 1940, including establishing concentration camps and ghettos as well as invading countries to target their Jewish populations.
The Causes, Consequences and Catastrophe of World War 1Peter Hammond
The document discusses how World War 1 marked a turning point in European and Christian history. It was previously a century of growth for Christianity through missionary work. However, WWI devastated Europe, killing over 9 million soldiers and permanently disabling many more. It caused widespread spiritual decline as people lost faith. Christianity's dominance globally sharply declined in the aftermath of the war as secularism and other ideologies rose up in Europe. The war shattered Europe both physically and spiritually in unprecedented ways.
The Holocaust systematically murdered approximately 6 million European Jews and millions of others between 1933-1945. Under the Nazi regime in Germany, Jews were increasingly persecuted through restrictive laws and anti-Semitic propaganda. Jews were later ghettoized and millions were murdered in death camps using poison gas or brutal treatment and conditions. While some resisted or were rescued, most of the Jewish populations of occupied Europe were killed during the Holocaust. The aftermath involved displacement, war crimes trials, and the founding of Israel.
The document outlines the alliances and causes that led to World War 1. There were two main alliances, the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy, and the Triple Entente of Britain, France and Russia. The causes of WWI included rival alliances, an arms race between European powers, increasing economic and colonial rivalry between Germany and Britain, and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire which destabilized the region.
Hitler rose to power in Germany in 1933 and sought to undo the Treaty of Versailles, expand German territory, and destroy communism. Over the next several years, he took incremental steps to rearm Germany and annex neighboring lands, including remilitarizing the Rhineland in 1936, annexing Austria in 1938, and taking the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia later that year. In 1939, Hitler signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin and invaded Poland, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany, plunging Europe into World War II.

The document provides background information on World War I, including its causes, key events that drew the US into the war, and the impact of the war on America. It discusses the US initially maintaining neutrality but becoming engaged after German U-boats sank passenger ships like the Lusitania. Propaganda efforts convinced many Americans the war was necessary. The war had social and economic impacts domestically such as the Great Migration and increased roles for women. President Wilson advocated his Fourteen Points plan and League of Nations to promote peace after the war.
The document discusses Adolf Hitler and the rise of Nazi Germany. It states that Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. As leader, he dismantled democratic structures and instituted a dictatorship. He targeted Jews and communists, sending them to concentration camps. Hitler pursued an aggressive expansionist policy that eventually led to war with multiple countries. The Nazi ideology was based on racist beliefs of Aryan supremacy and aimed to eliminate Jewish and other groups deemed "undesirable."
The document provides an overview of key events leading up to World War II from 1919 to 1941, including the Treaty of Versailles, rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany, appeasement at the Munich Conference, and the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact. It discusses territorial losses imposed on Germany by the Treaty, reaction in Germany, and failures of the League of Nations to prevent aggression by Germany and Italy in the 1930s.
1. After WWI, Italy and Germany faced difficult economic conditions which led to the rise of dictators like Mussolini and Hitler who promised to return their countries to glory.
2. Mussolini created fascist "blackshirt" units that intimidated political opponents, allowing him to take power in Italy. In Germany, Hitler exploited people's desperation and blamed Jews for their problems, rising to power through his Nazi party and paramilitary brownshirts.
3. Once in power, dictators eliminated opposition through secret police, imprisonment, and violence. They consolidated control and imposed totalitarian regimes focused on militarism, nationalism, and often brutal repression of citizens. Millions suffered under these new dictatorships.
The document provides an overview of postwar Europe and the emergence of the Cold War between the Western allies and the Soviet Union. Key points:
1) Following WWII, Europe was devastated but began recovering government authority and functioning bureaucracies. However, the continent became divided between the Western allies and Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe behind an "Iron Curtain."
2) The Soviets established communist governments across Eastern Europe and purged opposition. Tensions escalated over issues like the Berlin blockade and airlift.
3) The West implemented programs like the Marshall Plan for economic aid and NATO for military cooperation to contain Soviet expansion. Meanwhile, an arms race developed and the world became polarized between the two sides.
The document provides information about the Holocaust and the Nazi persecution of Jews. It describes how the Nazis viewed Jews and other groups as inferior races. It outlines the increasing restrictions and violence against Jews in the 1930s, culminating in Kristallnacht. The systematic mass murder in death camps began in 1941 with the "Final Solution" to eliminate Jews from Europe. Over six million European Jews were killed by 1945 through ghettos, mass shootings, starvation, and gas chambers. Some Jews resisted or were helped by non-Jews, but the vast majority of Jewish population in Nazi controlled areas were murdered in the Holocaust.
Germany suffered greatly from the terms of the Treaty of Versailles after WWI. This contributed to economic struggles and nationalist sentiment that Hitler was able to exploit in his rise to power. After becoming Chancellor, Hitler rapidly expanded German territory and built alliances. However, Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, which led to its overextension. The Holocaust under Hitler resulted in the genocide of approximately 6 million European Jews and millions of others deemed inferior. Germany's defeat in 1945 marked the end of Hitler's rule and WWII in Europe.
The document provides an overview of nationalism movements in Latin America and Italy that helped unify those regions in the 19th century. It then discusses the causes of World War 1, including militarism, alliances, nationalism, imperialism, and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. The results of World War 1 included the creation of the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles, which led to the rise of fascism in Germany and Italy.
World War I was caused by rising nationalism in European nations and their competition for power and resources, which led to the formation of opposing alliances. Militarism and an arms race escalated tensions as countries expanded their armed forces. Immediate causes of the war included the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist and the chain reaction of countries honoring their alliance obligations by declaring war on each other. Within a month, the major European powers were at war across both Western and Eastern fronts.
World War 1 began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. It involved many of the world's leading powers who were divided into two opposing alliances - the Allies and the Central Powers. The immediate cause of the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists. This triggered a series of events that led major European powers to declare war on each other in support of either the Allies or Central Powers. The United States initially remained neutral but was drawn into the war in 1917 on the side of the Allies after German submarine warfare threatened American merchant shipping and the Zimmermann Telegram proposed a German alliance with Mexico against the US. American involvement helped tip the balance in favor of the Allies,
The document provides background information on World War I, including long term causes such as nationalism, imperialism, and militarism which led European powers to build up their armed forces and form alliances that pulled them into war. It discusses key events that sparked the war such as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and how Germany's invasion of Belgium drew other European countries into the war. The document also examines how new military technologies and America's entry into the war in 1917 helped bring about an Allied victory.
The Holocaust systematically targeted and killed 6 million Jews and 5 million others. It began with the Nuremberg Laws stripping Jews of citizenship and escalated to ghettos and deportations to concentration camps where most were killed in gas chambers or by forced labor. The horrors exposed after liberation led to the creation of Israel and a divided Europe dominated by the US and USSR as new superpowers after immense destruction during World War 2.
The document provides an overview of World War II and its aftermath from 1931-1949. It discusses the rise of dictators like Hitler and Mussolini and their acts of aggression, including Germany invading Poland in 1939 which led Britain and France to declare war on Germany, plunging Europe into World War II. The document also covers events during the war like the Allied victories and turning points that led to the defeat of Germany and Japan.
The document discusses post-World War 2 Europe, specifically the economic devastation in Britain and challenges facing the British Empire as it withdrew from colonies. It also covers France clinging to its empire in the face of growing nationalist movements. The Marshall Plan provided billions in aid to revive Western European economies and stabilize their political systems, countering Soviet influence. However, Britain squandered opportunities seeking to maintain great power status. The 1956 Suez Crisis marked the end of British and French dominance in the Middle East.
The document provides surprising facts about World War 1, including:
1) Over 9 million soldiers were killed in the war, making it the deadliest conflict in history up to that point. New weapons like tanks and airplanes were used alongside outdated tactics.
2) The war had far-reaching consequences that are still felt today. It marked the end of European dominance over the world and led to huge debts that caused economic problems.
3) On Christmas Eve 1914, a spontaneous ceasefire occurred along parts of the Western Front as enemy soldiers mingled and celebrated together between trenches.
The document discusses key aspects of World War I, including:
- The stalemate of trench warfare on the Western Front as armies faced difficulties advancing across no man's land against machine guns and barbed wire.
- The introduction of new military technologies like tanks, airplanes, poison gas, and submarines that revolutionized warfare, though their effectiveness varied early in the war.
- How total war involved entire societies being mobilized for the war effort through conscription, rationing, propaganda, and redefined gender roles for women on the home front.
Captain Kincaid and his troops began to cheer when they heard the British lines advancing far to the right, signaling Lord Wellington's order to pursue the retreating French forces. Emerging from the thick smoke, Kincaid witnessed an exquisite scene of the French army in disarray and retreat, as British and Prussian lines pursued them into the distance. This movement cleared the smoke and revealed the victory over Napoleon, relieving the anxiety of the long and destructive battle.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist in 1914 set off a chain of events that led to the outbreak of World War I. Over 30 nations were eventually involved in the war, mobilizing over 65 million soldiers. Modern weapons like machine guns and artillery vastly increased casualties. The war was fought across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and at sea, and lasted from 1914 to 1918. Key events and leaders from countries involved in World War I are described.
The document discusses several key events that led to the start of World War II:
1) Germany's invasion of neighboring countries like Poland and Czechoslovakia violated the Treaty of Versailles and emboldened Hitler, while Britain and France's policy of appeasement failed to stop German aggression.
2) Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931 showed the League of Nations' inability to enforce its authority and emboldened other aggressive nations like Italy and Germany.
3) The global economic crisis of the Great Depression destabilized Europe and increased nationalism, militarism, and support for dictators like Hitler and Mussolini who scapegoated minorities and promised to return countries to greatness.
The immediate causes of World War II were Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany in 1933 and his subsequent violations of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 without a declaration of war, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany. Germany used the innovative "blitzkrieg" tactic of lightning-fast combined arms attacks to quickly defeat Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and force France to surrender in 1940. The British rescued 338,000 Allied troops from encirclement at Dunkirk in May-June 1940 in what was considered a "miracle." On June 22, 1940, France signed an armistice with Germany dividing the country into German-occupied and Vich

The document discusses the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany. It can be summarized as follows:
1) Hitler's father was a prominent physician who debated killing his family to avoid revenge from the Allies for Nazi crimes, but ultimately the whole family committed suicide.
2) After World War 1, Germany struggled under the new Weimar Republic and faced humiliation over the Treaty of Versailles. The poor economy created conditions for Hitler and the Nazis to rise to power.
3) Once in power in 1933, Hitler dismantled democracy and established a Nazi dictatorship through the Enabling Act, banning all other political parties. The Nazis then implemented racist ideology and policies that systematically stripped rights from Jews and other groups.
The document discusses genocide, specifically the Holocaust carried out by Nazi Germany between 1938 and 1945. It defines genocide and provides context for famous genocides. It describes how the Nazis targeted Jews and others like Romani people, Slavs, disabled people and political opponents. Over 6 million Jews and 11 million people total were killed through gas chambers, medical experiments, starvation and execution. Concentration and extermination camps were established where most of the systematic killings took place. The Holocaust is an important reminder of the dangers of hatred, tyranny and oppression.
Hitler's goal was to expand Germany's territory through conquest to gain Lebensraum or living space for the German people, who he believed were racially superior. His plans included annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland, as well as removing populations deemed inferior like Slavs and Jews. The Nazi government passed the Nuremberg Laws in 1935 to strip citizenship from Jews and classify people by racial categories. Kristallnacht in 1938 saw the destruction of Jewish homes and synagogues across Germany as Nazi persecution of Jews intensified. Other countries hesitated to interfere due to a policy of appeasement, hoping Hitler's territorial ambitions could be satisfied through diplomatic concessions.
The document provides an interactive guide to learning about the Holocaust through six key stages:
1) Definition - how the Nazis defined who was Jewish and introduced racist anti-Semitic ideology.
2) Expropriation - the stripping of rights and property from Jewish people through laws and Kristallnacht.
3) Concentration - forcing Jewish people into ghettos with severe restrictions.
4) Mobile killing units - the Einsatzgruppen that massacred over 1.5 million Jewish people in the Soviet Union.
5) Deportation - transporting victims by train to six deadly camps in Poland.
6) Killing centers - the camps like Auschwitz that systematically murdered victims
A German boy named Helmuth overheard his father, a physician, discussing killing their family in 1945 out of fear of Allied revenge. The next day, Helmuth's father took him into the woods, where they had a happy last time together before the father shot himself.

Holocaust Survivors Essay
The document discusses the experiences and aftermath of Holocaust survivors. It notes that only 15,000 Jews remained in Germany after WWII, out of 530,000 before Hitler rose to power. It describes how survivors struggled to rebuild their lives but received support from relief programs providing food, clothing, housing and financial compensation. The German government also added protections for equality to its constitution. However, true progress required educational efforts to foster tolerance in the whole community.
During World War 2, Jews faced immense persecution and genocide at the hands of Nazi Germany. The Holocaust systematically murdered over 6 million Jews across Nazi-occupied Europe through gas chambers, starvation, forced labor, and shootings. While many countries and individuals helped Jews escape, like the Vatican and figures like Oskar Schindler and Irena Sendler, by the end of the war most Jewish communities had been destroyed and many Jews struggled to return home or find refuge.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Joseph Stalin established a totalitarian communist regime in Russia, industrializing the country but causing widespread famine. In the 1920s-1930s, fascist dictatorships also rose in Italy under Mussolini and Germany under Hitler. Hitler gained power legally in 1933 after capitalizing on economic instability and promising to restore German pride. He rapidly transformed Germany into a single-party Nazi state, rearming the military in violation of Treaty of Versailles terms and enacting racist anti-Semitic laws. Through intimidation and broken agreements, Hitler expanded German territory until invading Poland in 1939, launching World War II.
The document discusses the Holocaust and Nazi persecution of Jews in Germany between 1933-1945. It describes how persecution escalated from non-violent measures like restricting Jewish rights and businesses to violent acts like Kristallnacht in 1938. As the Nazis conquered more territory, they forced Jews into overcrowded ghettos with poor living conditions. By 1942, at the Wannsee Conference, the Nazis had adopted the "Final Solution" to systematically exterminate Jews across German-occupied Europe in concentration camps and newly constructed death camps, killing approximately 6 million Jews. The Holocaust had lasting impacts, leading to the creation of Israel as a Jewish homeland.

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, cities in the United States grew rapidly due to large numbers of immigrants and migrants from rural areas. This caused overcrowding and poor living conditions in cities. Problems included cramped housing known as tenements, lack of transportation and sanitation infrastructure, disease outbreaks, high crime rates, and poverty. In response, cities implemented reforms such as building codes, water treatment, garbage collection systems, police forces, and firefighters. Labor unions also advocated for workers' rights to address low wages and long hours. Corruption was widespread in political machines that controlled many city governments; civil service reforms in the 1880s aimed to establish merit-based hiring in the public sector.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
6. Treaty of Versailles
Territorial
The following land was taken away from Germany :
Alsace-Lorraine (given to France)
Eupen and Malmedy (given to Belgium)
Northern Schleswig (given to Denmark)
Hultschin (given to Czechoslovakia)
West Prussia, Posen and Upper Silesia (given to Poland)
The Saar, Danzig and Memel were put under the control of the
League of Nations and the people of these regions would be
allowed to vote to stay in Germany or not in a future
referendum.
The League of Nations also took control of Germany's overseas
colonies.
Germany had to return to Russia land taken in the Treaty of
Brest-Litovsk. Some of this land was made into new states :
Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. An enlarged Poland also
received some of this land
7. Treaty of Versailles
Military
Germany s army was reduced to 100,000 men; the
army was not allowed tanks
Germany was not allowed an airforce
Germany was allowed only 6 capital naval ships and
no submarines
The west of the Rhineland and 50 kms east of the
River Rhine was made into a demilitarized zone
(DMZ). No German soldier or weapon was allowed
into this zone. The Allies were to keep an army of
occupation on the west bank of the Rhine for 15
years.
8. Treaty of Versailles
Financial
The loss of vital industrial territory would be
a severe blow to Germany s economy. Coal
from the Saar and Upper Silesia in particular
was a vital economic loss.
Combined with the financial penalties linked
to reparations($33 billion), it seemed clear to
Germany that the Allies wanted nothing else
but to bankrupt them.
Germany was also forbidden to unite with
Austria to form one superstate.
9. Treaty of Versailles
General
1. Germany had to admit full responsibility for starting the war.
This was Clause 231 - the infamous "War Guilt Clause".
2. Germany, as it was responsible for starting the war as stated
in clause 231, was therefore responsible for all the war damage
caused by the First World War. Therefore, they had to pay
reparations, the bulk of which would go to France and Belgium
to pay for the damage done to both countries by the war. The
figure was eventually put at $33 billion .
3. A League of Nations was set up to keep world peace.
10. The German reaction to the
Treaty of Versailles
There was anger throughout Germany
when the terms were made public.
The Treaty became known as a Diktat -
as it was being forced on them and the
Germans had no choice but to sign it.
Many in Germany did not want the Treaty
signed
German representatives there knew that
they had no choice as Germany was
incapable of restarting the war again.
11. The Allies Reaction to Treaty of
Versailles
At first, the treaty seemed to satisfy the Big Three(US, GB,
France)
Allies believed it was a just peace as it kept Germany weak yet
strong enough to stop the spread of communism
kept the French border with Germany safe from another
German attack and created the League of Nations that would
end warfare throughout the world
When Wilson brought treaty back to the US Senate for
ratification, the Senate refused to sign it. Why?
Most countries ultimately were unhappy with the treaty and the
results of WWI. Why?
25. Mein Kampf My Struggle
Excerpts
If, with the help of his Marxist creed, the Jew is victorious over the other
peoples of the world, his crown will be the funeral wreath of humanity and this
planet will, as it did thousands of years ago, move through the ether devoid of
men.
Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the
Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the
work of the Lord.
Here he stops at nothing, and in his vileness he becomes so gigantic that no
one need be surprised if among our people the personification of the devil as
the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew.
With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for the
unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood, thus stealing her from her
people. With every means he tries to destroy the racial foundations of the
people he has set out to subjugate. Just as he himself systematically ruins
women and girls, he does not shrink back from pulling down the blood barriers
for others, even on a large scale. It was and it is Jews who bring the Negroes
into the Rhineland, always with the same secret thought and clear aim of
ruining the hated white race by the necessarily resulting bastardization,
throwing it down from its cultural and political height, and himself rising to be
its master.
26. Nazi Propaganda
"All propaganda must be so popular and on such
an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of
those toward whom it is directed will understand
it... Through clever and constant application of
propaganda, people can be made to see
paradise as hell, and also the other way around,
to consider the most wretched sort of life as
paradise."
-- Adolf Hitler
34. The Holocaust
The genocide of approximately six million European
Jews during World War II
A program of systematic state-sponsored extermination
by Nazi Germany throughout Nazi-occupied territory
Approximately two-thirds of the population of nine million
Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust
died
Some maintain that the definition of the Holocaust
should also include the Nazis' genocide of millions of
people in other groups from Germany and other
occupied territory
By this definition, the total number of Holocaust victims
would be between 11 million and 17 million people
35. Who was inferior according to
Hitler?
1. Jews(6 million dead)
2. Gypsies(500,000 to 1.5 million)
3. mentally/physically handicapped people(75,000 to 250,000)
4. Soviet Slavs/POW s/Troops-(16.5 million)The Russian Academy of Science
in 1995 reported civilian victims in the USSR, including Jews, at German hands totaled 13.7
million dead including 7.4 million victims of Nazi genocide, 2.2 million deaths of persons
deported to Germany for forced labor; and 4.1 million famine and disease deaths in occupied
territory. German captors killed an estimated 2.8 million Soviet POWs through starvation,
exposure, and execution
5. Poles(2.5 million dead)
6. Homosexuals(5-15 thousand dead)
7. communists/socialists(many but number not confirmed)
8. dark skinned people(death and forced sterilization)

36. What is the Aryan Race?
misused by the Nazis to mean a so-called
master race that originated around
Germany
perfect Aryan was blonde, blue-eyed, tall
and muscular.
The original term refers to a people
speaking a Indo-European dialect.
37. Lebensborn-Fount of Life
The program aimed to promote the growth of
"superior" Aryan populations by providing
excellent health care and living conditions to
women and by restricting access to those
deemed fit
Houses were set up throughout Germany and
many occupied territories
Many Lebensborn children were born to unwed
mothers which helped lead to many rumors of
rape.
Contrary to widespread rumors, women were
not forced to have relations with Aryan Germans
38. Hitler s Jewish Question
1933
Nazis "temporarily" suspend civil liberties for all
citizens in 1933-Never restored.

Jews are prohibited from working as civil
servants, doctors in the National Health Service,
and teachers in public high schools. All but few
Jewish students are banned from public high
schools and colleges.
39. Nuremburg Laws 1935
1. Took away German citizenship from Jews thus making
Jews second class citizens by removing their basic
civil rights.
2. established membership in the Jewish race as being
anyone who either considered themselves Jewish or
had three or four Jewish grandparents. People with
one or two Jewish grandparents were considered to be
mixed race.
- eventually anyone with at least one Jewish
grandparent was at risk in Nazi Germany
3. Jews could only marry Jews
4. No sexual relations between non-Jewish Germans and
Jews
41. Kristallnacht-1938

thousands of Jews are shipped to death camps.
The United States, Great Britian, and the Soviet
Union acknowledge that Germans are

The Twins of
Auschwitz Page 2
Josef Mengele was
the chief physician at
Auschwitz
63. Japanese Invasion of Manchuria
What did this affair prove ?
1.The League could not enforce its authority.
2.A major power could get away with using force
3.An issue so far from Europe was not likely to
attract the whole-hearted support of the major
European powers in the League - Britain and
France.
4. Great Britain was more concerned with it s
territories in the Far East than in the
maintenance of law and order.
5. Other powers would see this as a sign that
they too could get away with the use of force
6. The League also lost its most powerful
member in the Far East and ultimately Japan
was to unite with the two other nations that
broke League rules - Germany and Italy.

exchange for money and weapons
Both agreed to stay neutral if the other
entered the war
Secretly agreed to invade and split
Poland. Germany would get the western
half and USSR the eastern half
Russia would get Finland, Estonia and
Latvia and Germany would get Lithuania
86. How did the world react to this
pact?
Shock
Poland was scared
Hitler thought it would force Great Britain
and France to back out of their promise to
help Poland if attacked
89. William Luksenburg
Describes the first night of the German invasion of
Poland
Things began to change right the first night. The first
night there were blackouts all over town. They would have
a curfew. After dark, nobody's supposed to leave the
house. The first memorable night is, was, when I...when
some of our neighbors tried to...a young man tried to cross
the street and he didn't realize just crossing the street, uh,
would...would break, breach the curfew and a German
soldier said, "Halt," and he kept on running. And he got
machine-gunned all the way across, and he fell right in
front of our house. So the Germans started yelling, all the
men "'Raus" [Get out], all the men out to help carry the
body in and made me carry the body with four other
persons. And because, the way he was machine-gunned, he
was completely like cut in half. When I got home I was
completely covered with blood, and I remember when I got
into the house, my mother looked at me completely
covered.There was something...such an awful thing to see
first time. I was just absolutely covered with blood, and I
always remember my mother's, uh, expression and my
mother's fear and my mother's cry out when she saw me
completely covered with blood and that was the first night,
the first expression what was...We didn't know what's
coming and it was a horrible thing, that first night.
90. Blitzkrieg-Lightning War
The Concept of Blitzkrieg.
1. Airforce attacks enemy front-line and rear positions, main roads,
airfields and communication centers. At the same time, infantry
attacks on the entire frontline and engages enemy.
2. Tank(panzer) units breakthrough main lines of defense and advance
deeper into enemy territory. While following, mechanized units pursue
and engage defenders preventing them from establishing defensive
positions. Infantry continues to engage enemy for the same reason.
3. Infantry attacks enemy flanks in order to link up with other groups to
complete the attack and eventually encircle the enemy and/or capture
strategic position.
4. Mechanized groups go deeper into the enemy territory outflanking the
enemy positions and preventing withdrawing troops and defenders
from establishing effective defensive positions.
5. Main force links up with other units encircling and cutting off the
enemy.
6. Goal was to achieve victory as quickly as possible

115. Winston Churchill
"What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect that
the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the
survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life and
the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and
might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us now. Hitler knows
that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand
up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move
forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world,
