Imagine being born into a warring state, and how such a horrible situation could influence one's life.]]> 2016-10-14 17:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/130824137 dlynch9 https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131017011 As part of their Blitzkrieg plan, the Germans launch full-on attacks on the Polish people, including violent bomb strikes that killed many people. In many cases, all that was left of a family house or a hospital could be rubble.

How many people do you think are unaccounted for from these violent attacks?]]> 2016-10-17 01:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131017011 dlynch9 https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131022612 Carts like the one in the colorized picture below were commonly used by escaping refugees attempting to escape to the Soviet Union before they are attacked again. Most were carried out alive, but these carts were also used to carry the dead out to be buried.

With the small space allowed on these carts, how many things do you think were left behind?]]> 2016-10-17 02:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131022612 dlynch9 https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131031261 Often when escaping, they only had enough time to grab a couple things before they were bombed, and often citizens ran away with sentimental items, like paintings they had bought, or family jewelry. Sometimes even choosing them over important items.

What would you have taken if you had to escape such a dire situation?]]> 2016-10-17 03:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131031261 dlynch9 https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131094125 https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/6b/34/26/6b34263a04a397eb683255ac815ac681.jpg

Imagine the effect it would have on you if you had to rebuild your entire town from scratch like they did.]]> 2016-10-17 12:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131095645 dlynch9 https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131098588 The Polish citizens had put these up in order to keep out invading Nazi forces, however the Germans tore them down easily as shown in the image below.

Do you think your local town would be able to scrounge together such a structure in such a short period of time?]]> 2016-10-17 12:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131098588 dlynch9 https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131102361 Represents the shift in control over the Polish society, and how Germany now owned Polish cities like Danzig. It is important to note how horribly Hitler saw the Poles, as he saw them as a less superior Slavic race compared to the "glorious German race". It is also important to note how this changed Polish society, as they now lived in a fascist state.

How do you think everyday life changed for the now oppressed Poles?]]> 2016-10-17 12:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dlynch9/fd09udn52q4c/wish/131102361
