Research for our next project on Who Is to Blame for the Holocaust?
- Post a blog for three of the following types of people involved in the Holocaust as seen in the book THE BOOK THIEF. FIRST one by 4/9, second by 4/12 and third by 4/15!
- Choices: Nazi soldiers, citizens of small German towns, Hitler, captured Jews
- Discuss the character(s) in each blog who you have met and understood throughout the book for your choice and if they are to blame at all for the destruction of 6 million Jews.
Questions to answer in each blog post
- Which characters from the book are in that type of person (Nazi soldier, citizens of small towns, Hitler, captured Jews)?
- Describe each person and his/her personality, actions and ethics.
- How much should they be to blame for the Holocaust? Why didn't they stop what was happening? Did they try to stop it? What was the consequence?
- For each post, identify if that group of people should be to blame a lot some none.
- Explain why you selected that amount of blame.
Example:
Type of person: Nazi Soldiers
Characters from the book: Joe Smoe, Jack Johnson, Ida B. Well
Joe Smoe was forced into the war. He did not want to be a part of it but had to (131) or else his son would die. He was a doctor who helped the sick Jews.
Jack Johnson was also forced into the war. He also was punished for being a help to Jews and was enlisted into the war. He was a kind man with no children but helped starving Jew....
Ida B. Wells.....
