The Nazi Party - Nuremberg Laws

1. Provide two examples of ways in which the Nuremberg laws affected the rights of German Jews. 

• They weren’t allowed to vote so that the Jews couldn’t have a say in who had the right to make the rules. 

• They weren’t allowed to have sexual interactions, Hitler was trying to split them up so that there was no interaction and friendships between the Jews and Germans. 

2. What other actions were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany? (Remembering)

• The Nuremberg Laws did not identify a ‘jew’ as someone with particular religious beliefs. 

3. Why do you think that the Nazis passed these laws? (Understanding)

• The Nazi passed the laws to take away power from the Jews so they Hitler would have an easier path to dictator so he could complete his goal of world power.

4. If a New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand, what do you think the reaction of most New Zealand people would be? Why do you think this might be the case? (Applying)

• I think that the people of New Zealand would not approve of racist laws because we have many different races and cultures. We also are one of a few countries that are accepting of all races.  

5. Do you think these Nuremberg laws were racist? Explain your point of view. (Evaluating)

• I think that these laws were racist because they took away people's rights simply because of their color of skin and where they came from. They also took away many of the Jew rights and these laws also affected people who had some Jewish assent even if they did not identify as part of the Jewish race or religion.

 Human rights - Hitler View

Hilter said “the jets were responsible for bringing negroes in the Rhineland” this shows that Hilter was against anti-semitism because he showed that he didn’t like the Jews, he didn’t count them as the white race, and they lower the cultural-political level. 

“The Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end... spying on unsuspicious German girls he plans seduce” Hitler wanted to take the Jewish out because of what they did to the German girls, He wanted to keep the German a pure race.

Social Studies - The Holocaust

Germany 

In social science we are overlooking the Holocaust we are starting by looking at the big depression.

During the global depression, Germany was hit the hardest. The worldwide depression affected many countries, leaving people without a home, with no money, unemployed, and being affected by World War II. An obvious consequence that occurred was a huge rise in unemployment. Numbers went from 1.4 million unemployed to 2 million people.  By the time Hitler became the leader, 1 and 3 people were unemployed. Americans endured the biggest crisis in the nation’s history, at its worst over a quarter of the workforce was unemployed. Housing prices went up to a percentage of 67, making it very hard for families to have a home.  This shows that the global depression had a big effect on everybody no matter their situation. 

Germany was demanded to sign the Treaty of Versailles, to ensure peace between countries but to take the power away. This treaty was made at the end of World War 1,  the treaty was produced by Paris peace, and was signed in 1919. By signing this treaty, at the start, the treaty caused anger, hate, and revulsion of the society.  Germany lost many rights as a country or an individual. Germany was made to pay reparations of 70 Billion dollars in today’s money. This took them a very long time to pay off and finished paying this is off on 3rd October 2010. 

The great depression reached right around the world starting in the United States. The reason it reached over here in New Zealand was that overseas countries brought New Zealand’s goods, after that, they did no longer buy the goods which meant there was no income coming into the country. New Zealand is an agricultural country. Unemployment in New Zealand rose to 12%, and those who were lucky enough to keep their jobs lost 20% of their income.

 The main problem in the Eastern Pacific Ocean is that there is a great pacific garbage patch in the ocean. A garbage patch is a gyre that is circulating around in a certain place of the ocean, causing a garbage patch underneath the water, which can not be seen. This is caused by the rubbish that has ended up in the ocean. The movement of the water is causing the rubbish to get stuck in this gyre and it’s getting bigger by the second. Tones and tones of marine life die every day because of this environmental catastrophe. 100 million marine animals die from plastic waste alone, ⅓ of the marine life is found tangled in the litter.  Fisherman's abandoned fishing gear makes up a big population of rubbish in the ocean estimated at around 8-12 tons in the ocean each year. Meaning the cause of this is death. This shows that because of one mistake it’s turned into a bigger situation.

Music was a way for slaves to express their feelings whether it was sorrow, joy, inspiration, or hope. Songs were passed down from generation to generation throughout slavery.

Harriet Tubman was a slave that escaped. She used this passage called the "underground railroad"

Wade in the water was a song that let the slaves know how to escape without being caught, but going into the water. 

Kayne West is a rapper, and a lot of the time there is a passage in the song. The passage was a message, the message was about slavery. In his song "New Slaves" he put in this message: 

They tryna make new slaves
See that's that privately-owned prison
