Overall, I think you did really well on interpreating on images or articles and made the questions really well. However, if there would be a thing that would improve on, that would be the instruction. When I was answering the questions, some of the instructions were pretty hard to find it.(article, images) Even though it was quite hard to find the information, I think you did a great job. :)
1. Nazis imprisoned many victims like the Jew communist, socialists and put the into the concentration camps.
2. The first extermination camp was called a Chelmo and it was opened in December 1941.
3. He would have felt guilty, that he didn’t want to do. He didn’t want to kill the people but Nazis told them to do, so they had to choice. I think every person who beats the victims will feel the same way like the man in the story. Who in the world would like to beat the victims? The victims are innocent, they are just a normal people and they are being beaten.
4. I think the children felt guilty, but they had to smuggle to food and the medicine to survive and escape the camp with their family. The children obviously, didn’t want to steal or smuggle, it was for their own.
5. I think it means that the non-Jews who were persecuted by the Nazis.
6. I think the condition on the picture looks perfectly fine compare to Jew victims.
After Nazis got power and they started searching for the religious materials, this family endured moderate persecution.
7. I would be desperately lonely that I am the only one cleaning up the prayer’s books.
8. I think the Nazi’s tried to stop the violence because it was too harsh and he knew that the Germans were preparing the killing and he also knew it was dangerous and cruel.
9. I see the darkness and the lightness in the room. The blood on the walls, it’s really creepy in the room. The chaos in the room. The room looks like it’s going to fall down immediately. The color of the image gives the power because of the light and dark.
10. All the informations above tells me how was the holocaust and how the victims suffered. It’s pretty amazing about the holocaust survivors that they survived from Auschwitz. I also think Holocaust is a terrible thing for the victims and it must have been a hell.
Super job girls. A few grammatical errors Ara (please write in word first, as it will pick up most). However, the questions were thought-provoking and the answers indicated analysis and deep level thinking. Well done, ladies.
