Hello everyone! Yesterday we reviewed information learned about Stalinist Russia, the Great Depression, and the rise of fascism in Germany. We also analyzed the Pyramid of Hate and applied it to the Third Reich in order to understand the process of how widespread Antisemitism was able to transform into a genocide. For homework, please read the packet on Jewish ghettos and answer the questions relating to the reading.
Furthermore, I assigned two options for extra credit during class. The first option is to watch V for Vendetta and write a five-paragraph paper on how the movie demonstrates totalitarianism. The second option is to create a dramatic scene, skit, or story that demonstrates what the U.S. would be like under a totalitarian government. This creative piece of writing should have all of the essential pieces of a story or scene.
Please email me if you have any questions. Remember that the information given about the rise of Antisemitism within Germany can be elaborated on and I can tell you more detailed stories and examples if you email me about a specific topic. Other than that, have a great weekend!
~Mr. Mazur
