What is the Final Solution?The Final Solution was the name the Nazis used to describe their mass murder program.
|
Over a course of about 8 and a half years, Hitler and the Nazis spent their time killing and executing large groups of people, mainly Jews. Some of their tactics for doing so were slandering though propaganda, curtailing the role of Jews in German society, denying their citizenship and civil rights, and many more. |
Usually, war tends to diminish the human value of life but in this case, Hitler, the leader of the Nazis, took it a few steps further. He ordered his officers in the East to NOT follow the rules of war and to carry out his plan of killing Jews. He didn't care about the civilians and prisoners of war at all. |

Assignment
From the perspective of MR. OTTO FRANK
in The Diary of Anne Frank
a PATTERN #2 Poem:
BEHIND THE BOOKSHELF
Watching over his family
in a situation not going happily.
Trying to keep calm
while fear goes up his palm.
Sleeping restlessly through the night,
nightmares give his daughter a fright
Waiting for sudden movements,
there was a great need for improvements.
