This memorial is an assortment of different events that helped lead into the Holocaust, and happened during the Holocaust. There were 11 million people killed in the Holocaust, 6 million Jews. During the Holocaust, many families were separated, so they used letters in envelopes to communicate. The barb wire around the outside of the poster is the walls in the ghettos that kept the Jews trapped inside. The pieces of glass inside the Star of David represent “Kristallnacht” the Night of Broken Glass on November 9th 1938 that lead into the Holocaust.
The article, Fighting Against Hitler, by Lauren Tarshis, describes How a boy named Ben was a jew and many times he was close to getting killed, he then was a partisan. When Ben Kamm was in his early teen years Adolf Hitler was planning on his annihilation of all jews in Europe. When the time of the annihilation came The Nazis and Hitler were burning and/or vandalizing any jewish owned businesses. Jews were not even aloud to step foot in public parks, libraries or leave there house after 5pm. That is what Fighting Against Hitler, by Lauren Tarshis, is about.
Nazi War Tactics World War II was one of the biggest and deadliest wars ever and had a lot of crazy things happen but one thing that stuck out for me was the Nazis war tactics. Blitzkrieg is a war tactic for the Nazis that is designed to make disorganization with other enemies through mobile forces and locally concentrated firepower. Blitzkrieg required of concentration. Blitzkrieg and german air power from resupplying with troops and ammunition. Blitzkrieg also used heavy powered tanks, planes, artillery etc.
Therefore, he is now over the program he attended as a student and received his Associate Degree. He continues to challenge the students in his classroom to think critically and never shy afraid from asking questions and seeking knowledge from teachers or others in support positions. His classroom discussions are thought provoking and enlightening. Equally, he offers this same epistemology to those he supervises to invigorate students to learn and challenge them to pursue learning beyond the classroom but to others aspects of the student’s daily lives. He has the attention of the Vice President and President of the college because of his ability to spearhead novel ideas with excellence.
I also really liked how Bean points out that in order for students to think critically they have to be able to reach cognitive dissonance. Students need their own view, but must be able to set those views aside long enough to consider
By the autumn of 1944, German resistance in the West was quickly crumbling as the British and Americans approached the German border 233 days ahead of schedule. Two army groups, the 21st, commanded by Field Marshal Sir Bernard Law Montgomery, and the 12th, under the command of General Omar Nelson Bradley, had galloped across France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Holland at an unexpected pace, overcoming whatever sporadic opposition the retreating German forces could throw in their paths. By September 11, the Americans had reached positions on the German frontier that pre-invasion planners had not expected to reach before May 1945.
The “Berlin Goddess” Kore The Berlin Kore is a piece of Archean art that stands out among the rest. The statue, also referred to as the “Berlin Goddess”, stands more than 6 feet tall (76’’in.) and is made out of white marble with blue-grey streaks. Traces of red paint can be seen on the statue's robe; the robe was once painted red. These colors are almost completely faded from the marble statue.

He calls the students to action in a way that they can relate to by talking about the necessity to use their education outside of the workplace and question the world around

Jenna Copper is an education professor and high school English teacher who writes about instructional strategies to use in English curriculums. Copper claims that when critical lenses are used in classes they can “empower students to see life from new perspectives.” (Copper, 2019)The different ways to view a text give students a more diverse and deeper understanding of the text which “can help them strengthen their reading and writing abilities.” (Copper, 2019) When students can empathize with a text and really take in the morals of text they become wiser and their interpretations are more thought out.
Thanks to considerable railroad infrastructure, Dresden was also “one of the greatest commercial centers of Germany” and “a primary communication center.” It was this fact that drew the attention of Allied forces in the beginning of 1945, as the Soviet army began to surge into Germany. The bombing raid has been described as “the most barbaric, senseless act of the war” and the topic remains highly controversial today. Several researchers have asserted that not all of the communications infrastructure, such as the bridges, was targeted, nor were the extensive industrial areas outside the city centre. Critics of the bombing argue that Dresden was a cultural landmark of little or no military significance, and that the attacks were indiscriminate
King has provided his opinion about education is building character. Dr. King uses his words to create an audience awareness to think for yourself isn’t the same as you may call it critical thinking. Against the common assumption that colleges should teach their students “critical reasoning,” Dr. King argues that critical thinking alone is insufficient and even dangerous. Teaching one to think critically is no small task. Most students learn by constructing knowledge based on an engaged learning process rather than by absorbing knowledge from passive sources.
In my experience, what Martin Luther King Jr. calls “thinking intensively and critically” is very different from what my high school teachers called “critical thinking”, most especially by the way Dr. King links intelligence and learning to the development of character, that is, growth as a person. Too often in my past, teachers mentioned critical thinking only as a mental activity of seeing through stereotypes, evaluating both sides of issues and understanding and accepting differences. As worthwhile as these are, I have found that high level thinking without having a more enlightened character is simply inadequate. That was a recent, very positive experience with two very nice people of different faiths. As much as we had been taught in class about prejudice, the recent terrorists attacks across the world bred a good deal of ill-will in
Furthermore, while safe spaces can be hubs of conversation, they are however, conversations between like-minded students (Source C). The aforementioned editor, Jonathan Sperling, reiterates the exigency in which college students must experience the plethora of distinct views, opinions, and beliefs of other pupils, in order to gain a well-rounded perspective on different subject matters. Additionally, students are able to learn and grow from these various viewpoints, accumulating an intellectual insight which will better equip them to handle “real world” challenges (Source
