In this class, there are times to joke around and to be
funny.
Today is not that day.
What we study today are actual REAL events that
happened to people just like you—people with
hopes, dreams, and families—whose lives were
taken from them against their will.
I ask that you be respectful and mature in what we
read/look at today.

important or that it never happened insures

In 1939, Germany invades Poland.
From 1939 to 1941, Germany invades and conquers
many countries, including France, Netherlands,
Belgium, and the Soviet Union.
During this time, Germany creates the “Axis”
alliance, consisting of:


Japan
Italy
Germany
The Soviet Union thought about joining, but an
agreement would not be reached in time, so they
were invaded.

World War II happened…but
The big question that remains is WHY and HOW
did it happen?

Wrote a book titled, Mein
Kampf, which means “my
struggle.”
In this book, he expressed
his ideas about why
Germany was no longer a
superpower:
“The Jewish Problem.”
Adolf Hitler

“Once I really am in power,
my first and foremost task
will be the annihilations of
the Jews. As soon as I have
the power to do so, I will
have gallows built in
rows…the Jews will be
hanged, and the will remain
hanging until they stink…as
soon as they have been
untied, the next batch will be
sent up, until the last Jew
has been exterminated.”
Adolf Hitler

N

N
O

Because of these ideas,
Hitler convinces the rest of
Germany that the Jews are to
blame for their problems.
This leads to what is known
as “The Holocaust.”
The Holocaust

From the Greek word:

One such well known torturer was Josef Mengele,
also known as “the angel of death.”

Mengele performed many experiments—most on
children, consisting of:

“I remember one set of twins in particular: Guido
and Ina, aged about four. One day, Mengele took
them away. When they returned, they were in a
terrible state: they had been sewn together, back to
back, like Siamese twins. Their wounds were
infected and oozing pus. They screamed day and
night. Then their parents – I remember the mother's
name was Stella – managed to get some morphine
and they killed the children in order to end their
suffering.”
