Focus Q 1-how did Anti-Semitism outside of Germany contribute to the problems of Jews in Germany

-Outside groups provided money and support to the Nazi party because of shared antisemitic views prior to WW2. Other antisemitic groups made it hard if not impossible for Jews to escape Germany and find safety.

- Anti-Semitism outside of Germany kept the Jews from being able to escape the Nazis and kept the Jews from being believed as well.

 focus Q 2-why do you think the German people went along with the Nazi policy of persecution of Jews?

-Ihttp://goo.gl/EHNsp

- I think it was Because Hitler was a powerful speaker and also a manipulator who easily won over people who wanted to please him. Most of the German population did not know about the extermination of the Jews (or they say they didn't) but they were scared of the consequences of speaking out because everybody knew of the rumors of camps and executions.


focus Q 3-"never shall i forget that night.the first night in camp. which has turned my life into one long night,seven times cursed and seven times sealed. never shall i forget that smoke. 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 that nocturnal silence which deprived me,for all eternity,of the desire to live.never shall i forget those moments which murdered my god and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. never shall i forget these things, even if i am condemned to live as long as god himself.never.'' Elie Wiesel,quoted in Night.

***Explain this quote***

-The words of Elie Wiesel, winner of the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize, describing his reaction to his first night in the Nazi camp of Birkenau, ‘reception centre’ for the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Those who failed Birkenau’s rudimentary ‘selection’ procedure, including Wiesel’s mother and his little sister, didn’t even live long enough to make it to Auschwitz. With his own eyes, Wiesel saw children being thrown into ditches from which gigantic flames leaped up.
