1. The Nazis and people who agreed with them wanted to protect the German community from “inferior” races. Are there other examples in history or literature in which groups of people murdered innocent people in the name of “protecting” themselves? How are these examples similar to or different from the Holocaust?

2. What might have made the Nazis murder, imprison, and oppress certain people? Do you think those people were really a threat, or could there have been other motivations?

3. In the context of this article, what makes people do bad things? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.

4. The Holocaust is taught in history classes today so that people will never forget. Although it is not pleasant to hear about the murder of millions of people because of their religion, race, or beliefs, educators believe it is important to study. What can we learn from tragedy, and why is it important to study tragic history?

We are going through tough times and we can always use uplifting words to help us get through the day. It also doesn't hurt to keep using figurative language. It will help us in the long run...........

Use the slides to help you create the saying. For example, you may use a metaphor, a simile, personification, ect...

Ex: When the sun smiled down on her, she new there would be a better day. The sidewalk greeted her with open arms as the world opened up and breathed fresh air upon its beautiful people. *** YOU MAY NOT USE MY EXAMPLE***
