What is meant by the term “Kristallnacht”?
Night of broken glass
When did this event occur?
9&10 of 1938
How many synagogues did the program claim were burned?
267 destroyed and burned
How many Jews were claimed to have died as a result of this event?
91 jews
How many were said to have been sent to concentration camps?
30,000
What was the reaction of the German people to this event?
It was the jew’s fault.
The document that was written shows that Kristallnacht was planned as the letter was written on November 8, 1938. Another example of showing that it was planned was because it stated that the Germans were allowed to go around damaging the jew’s business. The Germans were allowed to smash or damage anything but were not allowed to take anything. Non-jew businesses were protected from this so nothing was damaged. As soon as possible, officials were arrested many males, especially the wealthy ones.
The Nazi Party - Nuremberg Laws
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Maori Kai
Growing and gathering traditional foods was a big change for the Maori Culture. The Maori ancestors brought many edible plants from their homeland such as kumara, yam, and taro, these crops then had to adapt to the new environment. In New Zealand, the climate was much colder than their home.
Maori had a very traditional way of cooking food for their families, which was called a Hangi (Earth oven), this method was very useful for cooking meals for large families or big gatherings. Maori did not make pottery, so for them to boil water was to place a red hot stone in a wooden bowl of liquid. Nowadays, people use ovens, stovetops, microwaves, and other cooking sources to cook food. Hangi's are still used but not as often as they did, but mostly used for special occasions.
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.
Aim: To extract DNA.
Method:
1. mush half a kiwi fruit into a zip lock bag with a splash of water and a small teaspoon of salt.
2. Strain the solution through a cloth into a beaker.
3. Add a squirt of dishwashing liquid and stir together.
4. Pour the liquid into a testtube.
5. Place the test tube into a beaker filled with warm water.
6. Leave for 10 minutes.
7. slowly pour 5ml of methylated spirits down the inside of the test tube.
Results:
Discussion:
You find DNA inside an organism, inside that organism in a cell, every cell has a nucleus which is the control centre of the cell. Each nucleus is made up of 46 chromosomes and those chromosomes represent your DNA.
Did you know we share 60% of our DNA with a banana. And we share 96% of DNA with a gorilla although we are more chimpanzees than we are gorillas.
Conclusion: This experiment worked really well.
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.
