During World War II, Hitler took advantage of the war, and managed to grow the Nazi party. During this time, the Nazis were able to develop  the Auschwitz concentration camp after invading Poland. At this camp, roughly 1.1 million Jews were killed.]]> 2019-02-14 13:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cpensa2/g6bf5g8818ft/wish/331263642 cpensa2 https://padlet.com/cpensa2/g6bf5g8818ft/wish/331271051 Also known as 'The Angel of Death', Josef Mengele was an Auschwitz officer and physician responsible for the deaths of an unknown number of people, including many children, mainly twins who he'd been experimenting on at the camp.

Sonnenschein details his story, remembering how he was required by the Germans to build the camp, which no one knew they were building a concentration camp. Kulik describes her first moments, in which people were screaming, being beaten, dogs were barking, and commands being shouted, as well as being tattooed with an ID number. Lewin details a similar story of his first steps into Auschwitz, with screaming and violence, as well as being separated from his mother and sister, who he never saw again.]]> 2019-02-14 21:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cpensa2/g6bf5g8818ft/wish/331532216 cpensa2 https://padlet.com/cpensa2/g6bf5g8818ft/wish/331534083 https://newsela.com/read/lib-history-holocaust-part-I/id/26801?assignment=10345986&classroom=4073961
