This subheading was the most important in the reading and the Holocaust because of the way Hitler expanded his ruling. He didn't care to incorporate War into his plan but the fact that he didn't need it until 1939 is crazy. He expanded his ruling to Austria and this caused over 60% of Jews to flee their country because they knew what would follow after Hitler controlled their land.
1. Flag
2. 100+ people
3. All supporters holding their hands out and up in support of Hitler
4. Nationalism
5. uprising from the depression hey once were in (sense of hope and strength in German people, for the wrong reason)
I selected this image because it was the most captivating to me with all the people saluting to hitler and his people holding up their flag. It captivated me because of how many people were following his rule even though he had horrible motives behind him.
I believe this image was selected for this book because it show cases the march of hitler youth in Berlin, Germany 1934 when many people supported Hitler. This is proved by the large amount of people present In the photo that showcase their following and support for Hitler.

I enjoyed looking at artwork as it relates to our class and seeing the different perspectives and creative ways of illustrating art. The first slide with the eyes is the most captivating to me and made me feel like I was looking at all of the people straight in the eyes and they are looking back at me. Including peoples faces in artwork gives a whole other meaning within the piece because of the person specific relation that work now has. When you see a persons face or facial feature you can truly imagine so much more.
- I think that artwork with eyes looking head on is the most captivating form of art.
- I feel that art is the best way to get a point across to let to interpreter find what he/she sees in it personally for them.
- I wonder how long each artwork takes to fully make including the idea and then putting it into action.

Margalith Clarenberg was separated from her parents. This along with a lot of other holocaust survivors hit me the most and makes me feel terrible. I can’t imagine having the one thing you can always go back to and who made you and shaped you to who you are today being ripped apart away from you. This makes them alone living in hell but alone. My survivor had the rest of her family in the death camp and actually found her husband within the camp (not say her experience is easier than the others without parents and husbands). Being in such a hard place alone makes me feel so hopeless for them however it just made them more strong and still shaped them to who they are today as survivors. Dora Edelbaum worked in the getto and went to an all girls private school. Its hard for her to talk about her story but is brave because she could talk in the end which makes her extremely strong. Her mom and brother were taken away and she pushed through and found hope which again just salsifies how brave and strong she is as a survivor. One thing I learned today is truly how traumatizing and difficult these stories can be for the survivors to share. Some not even being able to talk to their children about there stories which made me realize to

I found this short film very captivating and disgusting on how the history of the world played out for people of jewish descent. They are people just like everyone else on Earth however sense they are labeled as one group they were then accused by others of doing terrible things which were completely false. I though the overall accusations people made up about the jews were terrible and just unbelievable that other people in the world would accept these accusations and hold them as truth. It shocked me how little time has gone by sense these events happened and how there is such a change in how we live today (still more to be done). I found it disgusting that the faith I associate myself with ever had ill assumptions of the jews and put them in negative light in there teachings. I am however relieved that they have altered there teachings in order to make what was once wrong right again.

I have always been interesting in the holocaust and the personal stories behind the experiences and events they had to go through. I enjoy relating to certain people and sense this topic is so unreliable to my life I try to find stories that can connect to me in some way in hopes that I can understand the circumstanses a little better. Anna Frank has been the most relatable story I have heard about considering she a young female close to my age at the time with a family. She was a jewish girl who had to go into hiding in order not to get caught by the government. While she was in hiding she wrote a diary about all the things she was going through which fascinates me. All her personal thoughts and feelings were all documented and can still be read today.  I am not sure how I will be carrying out this project however I know I want to incorporate Ann Frank and her story in it because it has always fascinated me the most.

("Heil Hitler" sign of raising hand up and over yourself)
1. I think this symbol is a world known sign that established the ruling power over you as a citizen
- I think the meaning behind this symbol gives Hitler more power and confidence that him leading these people is for the best
- I think Hitler thought of this symbol before putting it into place because he knew that if his people associated him with this symbol then he could pick out the people who didn't follow his rules more easily
2. I feel wrong whenever i read the "Hail hitler" or when i see people holding up there hands to any higher power
- I feel trapped when I see the large crowds of people who are controlled by him
- I feel like a robot when hearing the message behind the symbol and how the goal is to make everyone the same
3. - I wonder if people who didn't do the symbol were sent to death
- I wonder if you didn't do the symbol the correct way would they send you to death
- I wonder if you didn't have any arms would they send you to death.
4. Adolf Hitler is defined as having a cult
- Hitler used this sign as a greeting
- This symbol was peoples allegiance to hitler and even saluted statues of him to show there respect
5. - This is a form of controlling people
- this gave people a person to root for or a person that they could all be apart of and support
- This symbol means so much more than all heil hitler and has so many underlying motives behind it

Denial is an attempt to claim the holocaust never happened. People deny the holocaust because they want to make antisemitesim acceptable again. They state, “Jews invented to holocaust for ill gain”.   This began with the Nazis who tried to cover up what was happening. Opperation 1005 which was a program who tried to destroy evidence of the holocaust.  Social political and cultural conditions prevented people from talking about the sensitive subject of the holocaust. Distortion of the holocaust is people who are uneducated who havent been presentent all the facts. Down playing the accuracy in certain facts. It opens the door to total denial, antisemitisim, and other forms of hate.  This can occur with people who are trying to restore what they did wrong or the crimes they commited during the holocaust. The effects this has on Holocaust survivors & their families is tramatizing. These one story of a man who had no survivers in his community and claimed that anybody who was a holocaust deniar was calling him a liar. He was upset and claims that he is in fact not a liar and instead is a witness to a horrible tragedy. By saying that he is a liar is continuing the trama for him and his relatives which is unethical.

Then list 8 facts you learned about denial.

That people actually deny that the holocaust ever happened… seriously

This started with the Nazis trying to cover up the crimes they commited.

Generals went to the death camps in order to take pictures to prove these crimes happened.

Some people over time want to simpleyfy the previous history of the holocaust in order to set aside the trajity and to feel pride or even patriotism

People want to deny the holocaust in order to impove there other political agendas

After the holocaust ended many communities found it unright to talk about the conditions that just happened which lead to talking of the holocaust to be minimal

People state false numbers or events that took place in order to cover up the crimes they were apart of

People deny the holocaust and promot there beleif in order to get attention and have other large communities support there conspiracies.

list 5 opinions you have about the act of denying the Holocaust.

I don't think it is right for people to deny and disregard the horrible facts at which happened

People who partake in holocaust denial are doing it for sinical and idenelogical reasons.

Holocaust denial is hate speech

To tell people that there stories aren't the truth are unethical people who just want to draw attention to there conspiracies or other agendas

Denial is very dangerous because if you erase history we don't know how to look back and fix our mistakes and instead will just end up repeating our mistakes.

If you could sit down and have coffee with a denier, what 3 questions would you ask that person?

Why would you want to reshape the past?

What is your goal in denying the holocaust?

Do you truely beleive the holocaust never happened or are you trying to just convince others in order to advance your own agenda?

Freedom is one of the things that many people take for granted. Freedom is a blessing and allows people to live the lives they want to live. It is was allows everyone to be there own person and to think the way they want to think. Peoples actions are effects from there ideas. If our ideas are diminution or constructed by the people of higher ranking them society has no way of growing for the better.
In the movie, Sophie Scholl wasn't granted the freedom that we are used to having every day. She couldn't think or say anything that the government was against. Although she didn't have freedom according to the government she lived under, she had freedom within her self and knew that her ideas could be shared with others for the best. She and her brother both had this bond and knowledge that there freedoms had to be unleashed from inside them and they had to act on what they thought. They did this even though they knew there could be serious punishments for there crimes. They spread out flyer which included statements going against the government and were ultimately caught. They tried to defend themselves and get out of punishment but were ultimately sentenced to death.
There freedoms from within themselves were also taken away from them after they died. They couldn't think freely and let the world know how they felt from within. They had to keep it inside in order to survive which they ultimately didn't achieve. However there coraguious ideal and attitudes towards the issue at hand shows how passionate they are and how free they felt to think from within. This story gives me reassurance of how important my freedoms are and how grateful i am for them.

Bedros Bahadourains story he addressed was truly heart shattering for me to read. To only be 12 years old and your life is falling apart all around you at once with no one to help and answer your concerns. I see myself as a 12 year old and I can't comprehend or understand what might be going through his head. He was always on the go by traveling long distances with people dying all around him. He mentioned how they dug holes in the ground and when illness struck the village person after person would catch the disease and die. When he and his friends tried to escape they got caught and sent back which led them to encounter many experiences including seeing dead bodies floating down the river.

The American Cultural center building being set on fire on purpose was disgusting to read. There were 3 locations in the building where officials said evidence was found that proved they set a fire there.  This center housed many events and associations apart of Arminaan ways of life. It made me really sad and scared that someone wanted to commit this crime as part of a hate crime against arminan people in the United States. Other information including how Armenians who were peacefully protesting in washington DC were attacked makes me even more scared for how people see them.

The hate crimes and violence in America shocks me and makes me sad to believe that anyone would commit these terrible actions. Bedros Bahadourians story makes me chilled with fear of what he had to go through in his early childhood and how he had to live with those experiences for the rest of his life. He now has gone through those terrible events and still has to see hate crimes of people being destructive and insensitive around him. This makes me more aware of what has and is still going on in the World and makes me want to advocate more for a change now.

This essay gave me insight on how hard and difficult it must be for different artists to express themselves when they don’t even understand how to comprehend what was happening to them in the moment. Now having so much time pass it's probably so traumatizing and disgusting to look back on their experiences and answer peoples questions one how their experiences were. Even painting out their experiences as their way of expression is challenging (I can’t assume or put myself in their shoes to ever understand). In Ms.Roses essay this phrase stood out to me, “Fewer could communicate what they saw to the world” Having that impacting experience in your life makes you think you would remember everything and communicate it to the world. However people can’t put into words how traumatizing their experiences were which makes me feel a deep sense of grief for the people. “she realized that no one remembered her own mother, who had perished in Auschwitz, in their native town of Sarvar, 120 miles from Budapest, where the family had a large carpet weaving factory, Alice Cahana felt she must dedicate her art to

creating the memorial that was lacking to those who had been murdered and forgotten.” These words from Alice stood out to me because once returning to the site her whole view on the situation changed and she found more passion between her and her art which is really deep and inspiring to me. She shifted her whole form of artwork because she knew she had more within her and wanted people to always remember. The words, “spirituality over inhuman evil” stood out to me the most because Alice is so spiritually throughout this experience. It is chilling that she still to this day never gave up on her faith and didn’t blame any of her labeling on her faith. Instead she put it at the top of her reason for life as to always think about it over powering any wrong in the world. All the evil she went through and trauma she put the grace and comfort of her spirit above it all. In the artwork I chose from her, I chose it because it spoke the most to me once first looking at it. I can see the labeling, the train tracks to darkness, and the meaning behind the smoke gave me chills. Her experience and way of expressing herself in art makes me appreciate her life mission to never forget.
