The answer I found was that many people were against Jews and Hitler's popularity as a strong leader increased and then in (1941–1944) the Nazis were particularly susceptible to Nazi propaganda and incitement linking “the Jews” to the “Communist” or “Bolshevik” threat. It will help to know the cause of the holocaust to understand night.]]> 2019-04-26 16:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354509989 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354518511 2019-04-26 16:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354518511 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354518519 why did Hitlers popularity grow so quickly? is it due to his believes or the use of someones emotions?]]> 2019-04-26 16:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354518519 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354519293 I think Hitlers popularity grew quickly because of his belief and during the time people against Jews was pretty common not only in Germany but in other parts of Europe too and people were susceptible to Nazi propaganda.]]> 2019-04-26 16:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354519293 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354523183 Why did German and Hitler want to make the holocaust a thing.]]> 2019-04-26 16:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354523183 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354546448 because they wanted the idea of a "perfect master race" and thought that disabled people, jews, gypsies, weak people, etc. did not deserve to be a part of that master race]]> 2019-04-26 17:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354546448 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354547266 My question is this - why couldn't Hitler just allow reproduction for the type of people he liked and not allow reproduction for anyone else? that seems like a much better alternative to murdering them and it would not spark a world war. Why do you think Hitler used the most cruel method to get his goal?]]> 2019-04-26 17:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354547266 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354574613 Who was Hitler before the holocaust? Well before he wanted to be an artist believe it or not. 
He didn't wish to follow in his fathers footsteps of being a civil servant. He went to secondary school but eventually dropped out. He went out to pursue his dream of being an artist but was rejected by the Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts. Some time after that his mother passed away and he moved to Vienna. At first he was making and selling his art but he became lonely and isolated and then became interested in politics. And that's where his story kinda went down hill, how he started forming ideas of 'fixing' things, on creating the Nazis.]]> 2019-04-26 18:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354574613 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354578726 It wasn't just because of his beliefs. It was also his ideas on the matter and the fact that he was really good at his job. They believed he had the solution to show the world that they(Germany) was just as great and powerful. Since they lost world war 1. That he could prove that they were powerful and should be feared as well. The people believed he could deliver that and he did. Not in a good way but in a way that is what they wanted, well the political people did of course, not everyone wanted it. Does this make sense? Sorry if it seems like choppy information.]]> 2019-04-26 19:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354578726 85270 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354604555 One of the questions I had was " At what age were kids considered to be too young to work in the concentration camps?" What I found was any child under the age of 13 were killed because they were found "unable to work". This was very surprising to me because these kids were so harmless. This helps me understand Night a bit more because now I understand why Elie had to lie about his age, and it gives me a better understanding of why they were killing all those children and infants in the beginning of the book. This is kinda hard for me too process and I do think this is another important factor why the Holocaust should be remembered. ]]> 2019-04-26 20:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354604555 85270 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354605543 I agree with you Chris, I also think Hitlers popularity grew because everyone believed he was " making the world a better place to live in", which we know is false.]]> 2019-04-26 21:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/354605543 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355066368 My question was how do they determine who is useful and who should be cremated and the answer is fairly opinion based however there where guidelines to go by. Age and physical ability greatly affected the outcome but if the judge of these things just didn't like you, you could die either way.]]> 2019-04-29 15:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355066368 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355075624 A question I had was why did Anti-Semitic beliefs become so widespread? It started with Christian anti-semitic beliefs that Jews were not supposed to exist after the execution of Jesus Christ in 30 A.D. This sprouted from Christianity being the biggest religion to Anti-semitic views being more widespread to non Christians.]]> 2019-04-29 15:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355075624 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355078863 This would be pretty hard to enforce, considering Hitler counted you as a Jew if two of your grandparents were also Jews.]]> 2019-04-29 15:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355078863 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355080384 One of my questions was, what was the difference between concentration camps and extermination camps under the Nazi regime? I learned that a concentration camp was the generic term for prison camps. Labor camps were those that were maintained for the purpose of exploiting slave labor for Germany’s war effort. Extermination camps were six camps located in Poland where the mass murders of Jews and others took place. This will help my learning and reading of Night because it clears up most of my questions about where this was all taken place and the setting of the book.

I guess it makes sense. Thank you for furthering my understandings, Madison! ]]> 2019-04-29 16:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355083564 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355097728 One question I gave myself to answer was ''-How many Jews were able to escape from Europe prior to the Holocaust?" The answer is about 355,278 German and Austrian Jews left their homes. This helps me relate to Night because in the book when they could have gon with the maid they didnt and that many people 355,278 did escape.

Of course, even if he did, his actions were never justified or even close. What he did was monstrous and no amount of pain in his own life could ever justify it. What I found was that antisemitism was around thousands of years before Hitler, and he most likely got his hatred environmentally watching others. Jews--though there were other minority groups attacked--were the target of discrimination long before the Holocaust, but it did not reach the point it did before Hitler stepped in and confused and manipulated the public.  "Most historians believe that Hitler came up with this explanation in hindsight. He would have used it to assure people who were not yet convinced of his ideas that they would eventually see the light." (Anne Frank House) This helps my understanding of the Holocaust, because it allows me to understand that Hitler purely made up his explanations of why Jews should be hated to twist the public and get into a place of power.]]> 2019-04-29 17:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355120625 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355125263 Chris, you make some great points. I think that the popularity really did start everything. In my research, I found that many people were against Jews for religious reasons.]]> 2019-04-29 17:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355125263 1019931 https://padlet.com/christopherv1/9y3wh9zjzrv5/wish/355189732 One question that i would like to share to the class is that: Did the prisoners in the concentration camp ever retaliate against the German soldiers? The answer to this question was yes, there were some revolts in a concentration camp called Treblinka where the prisoners had accessed a key a kinda of gun room and rebelled against the guards. 300 people made it alive out of the camp but only 100 made it to freedom and escaped a manhunt to recapture them. This learning helps me to understand Night by letting me know that escape was possibly and that people could once again see freedom.
