1. The questions that I have about the Holocaust are "At what point in time did the Jews realize that they were discriminated against including things like the Jewish badge?" and "Were the Jews able to emigrate out of Germany at any time or were they forced to remain?". The questions that I have about Hiroshima and Nagasaki are "Was there an alternative route that could have been taken that would have resulted in less death?" and "Would the US have kept dropping atomic bombs on Japan if they didn't surrender after the first two, or was their to plan all along to only drop 2?"

2. There is a lot from World War II that we should reflect on, carry with us, and learn from today because we don't want history to repeat itself and spark a World War III. One of the biggest things to remember is how deadly warfare is, especially the atomic bomb, and we need to remember this so that we don't do the same thing again that results in the lost lives of many innocent civilians. We also need to understand that is not fair to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, or many more characteristics. because everyone was made to live together since there is no "supreme race." The last thing that we need to remember about WWII is that we shouldn't just go with someone that provides the easy way out especially in times of crisis because there is a whole lot more to it than the words that someone says to gain support.

3. One positive aspect related to America's involvement in WWII is the homefront. Although fighting was going on in Europe and Asia, there was a lot of development that was taking place on the homefront. First of all, the economy was recovering from the Great Depression. Next, it impacted the role of women since many women had to step into positions of work and leadership while the men were fighting overseas. Lastly, it led to the Civil Rights movement since many blacks began to see what their role in society should actually be and that they are equal to their white counterparts even though life and society had not always been that way.

1. Hiroshima and Nagasaki has always been a topic in WWII that has been lightly talked about but not heavily discussed. So anything that can be said about this topic would be nice to know. Why was this such a big impact from the American side to the Japanese? Where was this located? How badly did this struck Japan? Why did America did this? The Holocaust has been a time in history that was always talked about so I don't have many questions about this one.

2. I do believe that from any war we can learn valuable things from that would help in future decision makings such as today where we see another war unraveling in Ukraine. This is certainly a war that should not be forgotten and one that we should carry on with us and understand. We should carry the impacts it had on citizens, on the military personnel involved, and on the world. The damage that this war left much of the world should not be forgotten and should not repeat for us today. We should reflect on both the internment camps and the concentration camps that happened in two opposite sides of the Earth and realize the damage it had done to those affected. The Japanese Americans who were treated like enemies and the Jews who were killed and tortured. Learn that this method was not beneficial by any means and that power evidently kills people and ruin lives.

3. A positive to America's involvement in this war comes from women's involvement throughout the war. This war gave women the chance per say to take charge in the job industry and in factories while there was a war going on in order to supply throughout the war effort. This called for independence in American women's favor with using slogans such as "We can do it!" to cheer the spirits of these women and do become more involved in helping the economy and providing while the war was still treading on.

1.) Which one was more damaging? Since Hiroshima dropped first was it the worst? Are bombs really the answer to problems?
2.)I think most of ww2 like ww1 should be remember, especially because both wars coexsist with each other. Remebering the bombing,trechwarfare etc is important.
3.)Japan reformed and is now an alley with the United States. Japan had a quick comeback, and had there government entirely remodled.

1. The Holocaust has always been an intriguing event in history to me. Reading this week's history lab, I was able to better understand how leaders can "train" people to act a certain way. I always questioned how Hitler gained so much support. How did people believe what they were doing to Jews was justified? Were they completely brainwashed? I feel like the history lab helped me answer some of these questions. Through everyday discipline actions become habits. One question that I still have is "How long before everyone realized was Hitler conditioning people to believe/act a certain way?"
2. I feel like the point of learning about history is to see what worked for the nation, what was bad for the nation, and how to not repeat events like WWII. One big takeaway from WWII is atomic bombs. Although they seem like a quick solution to end a war, the amount of innocent civilians lives lost is horrific.
3. When thinking about times of war, I feel many only think about the international events. I feel it's important to recognize what was going on in America at the time, and not just what America was doing in or to other nations. America was making an economic comeback as they were recovering from the Great Depression. Strives were also made towards equal rights.

1.  It seems that when history classes talk about WWII there isn't much conversation about the Holocaust/ Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some questions that I would like to see answered about the Holocaust are "Did the Nazis plan to murder the Jews from the beginning of their regime?" "Did all Germans support Hitler's plan for the persecution of the Jews?" Some questions I have about Hiroshima and Nagasaki are: "Is there any evidence that a thermonuclear device exploded over Hiroshima in 1945?" "Why exactly did the U.S. choose Nagasaki and Hiroshima?"

2. There is a lot from World War II that we should reflect on and even learn from. Something to say that we should learn from is that fact that we do not want something like that war to ever happen again or any war in general because it gets so bloody. A lesson that WWII provided was that democracies had to be ready to resist aggression. People need to remember the damage that WWII had brought so that when thinking about war they see how it should not be something to happen yet again. We should be able to reflect on viewing what happened with the concentration camps and see how many things were damaged and how those people were affected that were being sent to them. Overall, we need to look back on the war and learn that we do not want anything like it to happen again so that no more lives are lost and that there is no damage left in the world.

3. When thinking about what positive aspects, lessons, or stories came from America's involvement in World War II a lesson and most likely the biggest lesson to learn from the war is to do anything possible to prevent the war from happening yet again that could lead to WWIII. The world is already now having some issues with Ukraine and Russia and no one is going to want that to get worse. So, a big lesson to learn from WWII is that all wars are to be avoided at all costs.

1. One singular question I have about Nagasaki and Hiroshima is “Why not evacuate after being given a warning?” Both of these places were given warnings, more than once. The United Air Force even dropped fliers before bombing and most of the Japanese civilians, my question is why? They were given the information to flee yet never did and ended up crossed in the fire of something that many of them could have avoided by leaving. I understand the stubbornness of not wanting to leave but there’s a point where you must draw a line.

2. One thing we should definitely take from WWII is to not get others involved or go after people that do not wish to be involved. It’s a rough matter to be pulled into something you wish not to be a part of.

3. Many medical announcements were made during WWII which included trauma care, patient care, prevention of infection, and post-war care.

1) My main question is, "How did America and Japan become such close allies after we dropped bombs on them?" and " Just how much did we remodel their government and help them rebuild?" I am also curious as to why they did evacuate more. I guess it relates to Ukraine now, with the fact that America told American citizens to leave, but not all of them did, but it's still crazy to me.
2) The biggest thing we can reflect of and learn from is how easily human kind will reform to a certain trend or revolution without fully knowing what it is or stands for, because humans have a need to fit in in a way, and if someone doesn't develop the habit of asking questions about these things, then I'm sure something similar to the Holocaust could happen again. Maybe not as extreme, but who knows. This is why we need to keep this fact with us.
3)Something good about America joining is the fact that it was a huge contributor to stopping Hitler. Because everyone involved in the war were feeling the weight and restrictions of being in that for so long, with America joining at the end, without those restrictions, it gave them the upper hand.

# data[].attributes.body
1. One question that I have regarding the Holocaust is how did Hitler gain so much power and support? Why did so many people agree with his beliefs? Hitler made the decision to completely get rid of all Jewish people. How could so many people follow along with that? This weeks history lab showed that brainwashing people into acting a certain way is fairly easy. Is that what Hitler was doing?

2. We should learn from the warfare that World War II incorporated. Atomic bombs killed many innocent people. This shows how deadly this war was. We should learn from all of the lives lost so we do not repeat another war just like this one.

3. One positive aspect of America's involvement in World War II was the progress America made. America started to recover from the Great Depression and make an economic recovery. World War II also opened work positions for women since the men were fighting in war. This gave women more independence.

1) All my life i've been told about the Swastika, (the symbol for the Nazi Party) was just for that. I never knew before World War II that the Swastika had a history before Hitler took it in for his own interpretation. So the one question I have is, "Why did Hitler choose the Swastika for the symbol of the Nazi party?" Beforehand the symbol had been used in over thousands of cultures and countries like China, India, and Europe. But after Hitler's motive the Swastika symbol is used for hate and meaning that was manipulated.

2) I mean there is a lot of things and practices we should reflect, learn, and carry with us. We do not want World War II part 2 to be upon us, it'll ruin us again, make us start from square one. One specific think we should reflect on is our economy affect from war. The impacts the citizens have from war in general. The government should not immediately think "war," when trying to resolve or communicate any problem with other leaders. There is never a winner in war, both ends have death, wasted money, and a depriving communities.

3)  A positive effect from World War II is full employment and a fairer distribution of income. Affect World War II POC and women allowed into the workforce for the first time.

1. Some questions I have would be "Why was the Holocaust always about harming others?" "Did Hitler want to harm and do what he did to the Jews from the start?" " How was Hitler able to get in everyone's head and convince them that this is the best thing to do?" The Holocaust is a very confusing topic, and it is hard to know what really went on and how people allowed this to happen from the start.

2. World War II was obviously a major part of history. I feel it is important to reflect on whats important. As well as telling the truth, because a lot of historical events that happen always show the good side rather than the bad, and I think that its important to know when learning and reflecting on a major topic.

3. On the positive side of things for Americans after World War II took place called for better care for Americans, women's involvement, and some more. When thinking about war many people think bad outcomes but some positives do happen as well.

# data[].attributes.body
1. What was Hitlers reasoning, and what really made him think about putting Jews in concentration camps? How did Nazis feel about doing this to innocent people? Did Nazis agree with this? Hiroshima and Nagasaki has never really been told to me. This is my first time hearing about this. I don't recall ever learning this. Where did this exactly take place? How bad did this affect the people involved? What was the reasoning for America to do this?
2. There is definitley stuff from World War II that we should reflect on. I think we should remember how horrible the war was. All of the deaths that took place, all of the destruction. I think we should remember how bad the war affected peoples mental state, and even made them go insane. We should even think about how bad economically the war affected other countries. There is so much to remember.
3. I think there are a couple positives taken away from this war. I think that medically America got better, and found better treatment which is a huge positive. I think that this war made people realize that they didn't want another world War. Everyone always says that World War III would be the end of the world which is probably true. I think that people really learned a valuable lesson of how serious this war really was, and made them do everything they could not to start another one.

1. I've never really understood why America didn't just send a ton of troops into Hiroshima or Nagasaki instead of nuking civilian towns. Why wouldn't they send their military on land to force Japan into surrendering instead of causing all of that collateral damage? Sure, it could have been a deadly battle but isn't that what the military is for? And why was barely anyone aware of it happening, the American military who transported these atomic bombs across the ocean didn't even know what they were transporting.. why is that? I also don't understand the whole hatred for Jewish people that Hitler and Nazis lived by.. I just don't understand their motive. And if a good amount of Nazis were Christian but hated Jews, wouldn't that mean they hated Jesus? I've just never been able to wrap my head around the concept of the Holocaust and I don't believe I ever will.
2. Although I believe America has learned from their mistakes in World War II with the Japanese Americans and the atomic bombs, I still think everyone should constantly reflect on this and never forget the mistakes that were made. I also believe we should all put ourselves in the shoes of Jewish people of that time and be thankful that we have never experienced something of that level in our lifetime. We should also reflect on the millions of lives lost during this in the US military, European military, Japanese civilians, Jewish people, and any other civilian/soldier that got caught up in the mess of it all.
3. To think of World War II in a positive light is difficult considering the awful reasons for why the war was happening. A positive outlook could be that Nazi Germany was stopped. They didn't take over the US. They didn't take over the entire world. We can also be thankful that even though millions of Jews died, American soldiers and others were able to free and help save thousands of Jewish people at death camps once the war ended. The US mainly played a good part in this war, which is rare to say, so I can consider that to be a positive.

1. One of the questions that I have about the Holocaust is, Were the Jews the only group being oppressed during World War 2?  I feel like if anybody was to get in the way of Hitler's plan he wouldn't think twice to just kill them and maybe some ethnic groups also got treated this way.  Another question that I have is, Why did the Nazis use the swastika as their symbol?  Regarding Nagasaki and Hiroshima I have a question about the cities.  Why did the United States decide to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki?  Why not Tokyo?
2. World War II was a war that is still fairly recent and we can learn quite a bit from it today.  One of the important things that we can reflect on is how powerful movements can be and that it is important to know the roots of a movement before diving in with a group just to be included.  That is what the third wave displayed and that is also the way that Hitler took control.  Avoiding another catastrophe like that is very important.  Atomic bombs are a large part of warfare today and it is important to know that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are two events that should hopefully never be recreated anywhere else.
3. A positive aspect of World War II  is the allies that America has built a relationship with along with the formation of NATO following WWII and what that means for the nation. NATO includes 30 members that will all support each other if they are launched into a conflict which is very beneficial to the United States.

1. I believe that Hiroshima and Nagasaki has not been something that I've been briefly introduced to in a way where I fully understand why this really happened. I still question the way Hitler spoke about and for his beliefs and why he wanted to have Jews be put into concentration camps. I also question the pros and cons that the atomic bombs brought out on Japan.
2. Something that we should learn from World War II is that not everything has to be solved with conflict and include those who do not want to be apart of it.
3. A positive aspect of World War II was that it brought full employment for both Blacks and women as a result of equal rights and more.

I never have really fully understood Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I've never heard of it so therefore i have not the slightest clue to what it is. However, I do know about the holocaust and when we went on the D.C trip, I learned more about the holocaust. One thing i don't understand is how people could still follow Hitler after seeing the things that he had done. One thing that we should reflect on from world war 2 was remembering how i happened, Why it happened. We should remember how many life's that was taken because of world war two. We need to remember how it affected everyone.

1. I don't really have a lot of questions about these 3 events, other than why did the U.S. target civilian locations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki instead of military locations like Japan did to us.
2. There are many things to learn from the tragedies of WWII, a few lessons to carry on could be the willpower of people when their homeland is attacked, or discovering ethical limitations like contemplating your own moral compass with that of your country's. These are just some things to carry on and reflect on but in my opinion, these two are the most important.
3. The war united America as everyone worked towards a common goal of improvement and survival in those trying times.

1. A big question that I thought of was how did the general population believe what they were putting the Jews through was okay in any way? This is a question that I think of pertaining to any mass segregation or hostile acts against a certain group. I feel like someone had to of seen that there was something seriously wrong with the way they they were being treated. Did the general population not care because if they Jews were being attacked that meant that they were safe? Did they okay those acts because they genuinely thought it was the right thing to do? Lots of questions follow up with the main one I came up with.
2. I think that learning from the past is a major thing that can make or break you when it comes to your future. I think that one crucial thing to observe and learn from is how powerful leadership is, and why that is so important to choose a leader that will not lead you into the ground. It is also important that we stay true to our own opinions and not fall into a brainwashed state like before.
3. I believe that the war made the population realize they wanted to avoid having another one, which is a positive. Although it was a terrible event I think that we learned alot from it because it was so bad, which is positive.
