Numerous students have expressed to our members how inspired they were to not only

  • Operation T4: The Secrets Of The Nazi Regime

    2626 Words  | 11 Pages

The Nazi regime surrendered on May 8th, 1945, leaving behind millions of victims and traumatized people, and research is still going on into the Nazi camps to understand the history of the camps and uncover the secrets of how Adolf Hitler's killing machine functioned.

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.

    The Kristallnacht was a very important and memorable event in history. Many people remember it differently, while some barely remember it at all. One individual, Kurt Messerschmidt, very vividly remembers one specific event that took place on that night. He was biking to school one day, as he and his friend Rudy Zonnefelt always did, when they came across a tiny cigar stop. Inside of the cigar stop was a very little old man, two Nazis and many people gathered around them.

  • The Bombing Of Dresden

    128 Words  | 1 Pages

    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

    Jenna Copper is an education professor and high school English teacher who writes about instructional strategies to use in English curriculums.

    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.

  • Reflection On Martin Luther King Critical Thinking

    972 Words  | 4 Pages

    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
