Assignment 2 - No Escape? Night

Ms. Bartelucci posted any assignment for you to do in Tech today.

What do you believe was their reasoning?
Respond on Your Blog, what you think was behind their non-resistance.

Assignment 1 -History - Is it worth studying?

The first assigned post for 8c3 is to respond to the question above - "Is History worth studying?"
In view of the current topic you are studying, - the Holocaust- many atrocities were committed to a select group of the population - The Jews - under the orders of the German Government and its leader, Adolf Hitler.

Families were separated; men women and children were used as subjects for horrifying scientific experiments, sent to concentration camps, and cruelly treated. Many were put to death in gas ovens.

The Jews were not the first population of humans who were inhumanely treated by another culture; there are many injustices that are still taking place today.


There is a saying:
So, - IS HISTORY WORTH STUDYING?
