We have been working on reading Mein Kampf all week, making sense of Hitler's political ideas and why he created such a hatred of Jewish people in Germany. For homework for Monday, you need to answer the questions at the end of the reading. Be sure to explain your answers and support them with evidence from the text!
Also, in response to a question in yellow about how Hitler died, here is a link to a Time Magazine article from 1965 that addresses how he died. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,902253,00.html
Enjoy your weekend!

Updates
I apologize for not getting back in the habit of posting regularly. Here's a list of what I've missed posting.
During the first week of the semester, you worked with the textbook to develop a background understanding of Europe between WWI and WWII. The assignments were:
1. Read 834 - 838 and respond to questions 1-5 on 838 (Chapter 26, Section 3)
2. Read 898 - 902 and respond to questions 1-6 on 902 (Chapter 28, Section 3)
3. Read 912 - 917 and respond to questions 1-8 on 917 (Chapter 28, Section 5)
Your responses should be in complete sentences (paragraphs where appropriate), and you need to be thorough. Explain your answers and connect ideas to the specific details that support them.
We've also been reviewing Modern Art styles in order to clarify apparent confusion on how to tell the style of a modern art piece. We had a quiz on that today (Tues, 2/21). If you have been absent, get the notes and talk to me about whether/when you feel ready to take the quiz. Everyone needs to have completed the quiz by Friday 2/15.
This week we will be examining what you've learned about Hitler's background and developing a common understanding of his life, ideas, and activities that will help us try to understand what happened in the Holocaust.
When we return from vacation, we will be working with some primary resources from Hitler's time to further understand why so many people in Germany went along with his ideas, and how their actions impacted various groups in that country.

Hitler
I hope you are learning lots of interesting aspects about Hitler's life. In addition to the links posted below as potential resources, have you considered going to Time.com and searching the archives? Remember, he was Time's "Man of the Year" in 1934!
