Today’s Agenda
• Warm-Up
• Interactive Notes – 14-2 Part 2 “Holocaust”
• Homework – Take the weekend off
Today’s Standard10.8 Students analyze the causes and
consequences of World War II.4. Analyze the Nazi policy of pursuing racial
purity, especially against the European Jews; its transformation into the Final Solution; and the Holocaust that resulted in the murder of six million Jewish civilians.
What was the Holocaust and what responsibility does the world have to prevent things like it
in the future?
Essential Question
“They came first for the Communists,and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist
Then they came for the Jews,and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew
Then they came for the trade unionists,and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist
Then they came for the Catholics,and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant
Then they came for me,and by that time no one was left to speak up.”
-Martin Niemoller

European Jews

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Oscar Schindler
“Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into
wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which
consumed my faith forever…Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to
dust…Never.”
Elie Wiesel from Night
