Response to Readings: "Anger and Humiliation", "Voices in the Dark"

Also, on pg. 124, carefully read the Nazi Party program.Choose two points of this program that you think are especially unfair. Why are they unfair? Which ones do you have questions about?

Number 8 is especially unfair because many of the non-Germans have already settled in and maybe they don't have any other place to go. They would have to leave their jobs and everything behind, which I think is especially unfair.They have no choice and have to leave.

Number 4 is also very unfair because Jews have been living there for ages and it is wrong to deny them citizenship as I am sure the Jews have helped Germans in many ways. Plus they have jobs, families, relatives living there so why would the Nazi party not want them to be granted citizenship?

If you had been on the train, do you think you would have said or done anything? Have you or someone you know ever had a similar experience?

If I had been on the train and people were talkin harshly about my race I would definitely have stood up for my kind. It is not right to be blamed for something you havent done and it is especially wrong to accuse a certain race who hasn't done anything to harm or destroy the country.

Shiva the god of destruction in the hindu temple.
the burned incense may be intended as a sacrificial offering to various deity or to serve as an aid in prayer.

Pillars inside the mosque to hold the belief strong.

Religions Field Trip Reflection

the similarities between the hindu temple, chinese temple and the mosque, all of them have a symbol that signifies their religion. For example the hindus have a swastika, muslims have the crescent and the star and chinese have dragons. Also all of them have some sort of sacred writing that they use. A lot of things are placed where they are for a reason like there are pillars in the mosque to hold up the belief and there is a big wooden block on the entrance on the chinese temple so evil spirits will not be able to crawl over it. Hindus and chinese both use incents. Not all of them have statues to worship like hindus and chinese both have statues that they can give offerings to and worship. Muslims pray directly to god. Chinese and hindus have many gods, and each god has a special reason, like theres a god for wealth, a god for prosperity, and a god for health. A similarity is also that all of these religions value and respect their gods. And all of them have a god that they worship.

There are also many differences between these religions. The muslims only have one god, and they have no statues or figures that represent the looks of the god, they pray directly to him. They also have different ways of praying to the gods, in a hindu temple the swami bathes the god in milk and gives his blessing to everyone.

I think the most interesting was the mosque because it has meaningful designs and it varies from all of the other religions, it is plain, simple and nice. I find it interesting how they pray directly to god and do not have any statues like the hindu and chinese temple. Their religion is interesting and the way things are placed interests me also.

Auschwitz

I think what happened in Auschwitz was horrible. But, why did the Germans decide to run the holocaust? did this type of extermination only happen in Auschwitz? How many people died at Auschwitz? Were there many survivors? Why didn't allies bomb Auschwitz?

There is a 'PLEASE DO NOT LITTER' sign and right under that tree you can see litter all over.
