Nov 9-10 1938 is when the holocaust began, this was the day of Kristallnacht. The night of broken glass. On this night the Nazi gangs attacked the Jewish homes and businesses. About 30,000 Jews were arrested and many synagogues were destroyed. The Kristallnacht was the beginning of Jewish persecution. Jews tried to escape the Nazis invasion by emigrating. About 100,000 fled to the United States.
Hitler believed that the Aryans were the master race. His proposition to wipe out the Jews was called the “Final Solution.” This incorporated genocide, the killing of the entire Jewish population. To do this, he opened camps and crowed ghettos in December 1941. Mobile gas vans killed and room within the camp contained gas chambers that are rooms filled with toxic gas to kill of the Jews efficiently. Up to 6,000 Jews were gassed each day. Bodies of victims piled the streets. The Jews resisted by publishing underground newspapers and by creating secret schools to educate children. The prisionrs were jailed in wooden barracks that were filled with 1000 people each. Many collapsed and were too weak to work. There were many tragedies of the Holocaust and impacted thousands of people.

good job! u included a lot of interesting facts and tied them all together nicely
ReplyDeleteI liked how it was short and clear but also very informative. I think you should check the beginning two sentences, though. The comma should be a semicolon in the first sentence and the second isn't a complete sentence. But other than that, good job!
ReplyDeleteI like how you condensed the information into an easy to read paragraph. I didnt know the Nazis used mobile gas vans.
ReplyDeleteWell done on putting so much information into two easy-to-read paragraphs. But I think there is a spelling error in the second paragraph, fourth sentence. Should it be "crowded" instead of "crowed"?
ReplyDeleteConcise and gives a good picture of what had happened to Jews during the war.
ReplyDeleteIt was very brief and to the point. Good job on summarizing the Holocaust and giving it a wholistic view while still including key facts and information.
ReplyDeleteThis posting does a good job of describing some of the horrors of the Holocaust. I picked up some pieces of information about Hitler's "Final Solution", such as the mobile gas vans. However, the flow is a little choppy, with some incomplete sentences. Aside from that, nice work.
