We've decided on six events to (probably) emphasize throughout our scrapbook. These are:
- the invasion in Poland
- the life of someone in a concentration camp
- the rise of Hitler and the Nazis
- the point of view from someone outside of the concentration camps
- the bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- the end of the war
Hopefully with these different occurrences, we will be able to get a perspective of people outside of the United States, such as someone from Poland and Japan. I also found a website with various personal accounts, which is seeming to be helpful in providing examples we could use for things such as journal entries. http://www.history.noaa.gov/ww2_personal.html
Another Winston Churchill quote:
Nancy Astor: “Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.”
Churchill: “If I were your husband I would take it.”
Hi, I think the idea to focus on those six events is good in that it gives a broad and varied sense of the Holocaust. I am also doing my project on the Holocaust, and I found that the website about the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has a lot of personal stories and other primary sources that are really useful. So, if you want to add some quotes or excerpts from many different types of people affected by the Holocaust, you might want to look at:
