Hitler's view

Today in class we were learning about Hitler's antisemitism and hate for the jews.

Here are the two quotes:

“Lowering the quality of the white race which they hate and thus lowering it’s cultural and political level so that Jews could dominate”

"The Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end spying on the unsuspicious German girl he plans to seduce; he wants to contaminate her blood and remove the bosom from her own people."

6. What was the reaction of the German people to this event?

How does evidence in this document show that “Kristallnacht” was planned in advance of the event actually happening?

This was a day before the event happened. The event happened at 1:20 AM on November 8, 1938. It was pre-planned because it was sent one day before the event on 9/10, of November 1938, and it tells them what to do and what not to do.

The Great Depression/The Holocaust

Why was Germany hit the hardest by the great depression?

  The great depression lasted from 1929 to 1939. This was the worst economic downfall in the world that we know. One of the most affected areas was Europe and Germany. Hitler and the Nazi party blamed the treaty of Versailles for this. The Great Depression Started in October 1929 which sent Wall Street into panic and wiped out millions of investors. Germany suffered the most out of any nation because of a result of the recall of the US-led and that caused the economy to collapse. 6 million Germans were unemployed during the great depression and 15 million us people were unemployed.

What did Germany have to agree to by signing the treaty of Versailles?

The Germans after the war were offered to sign a treaty, this treaty was the Treaty of Versailles. At first, the Germans didn't want to sign this treaty because it was made to take power away from Germany so they thought they just wouldn't show up to sign the treaty. When they did not show all the other countries that signed the treaty began to threaten them and said that if they didn't sign the treaty they would take over their land. The Germans ended up signing the treaty but they weren't happy especially because they had to pay off heaps of things and lose most of their army. The Germans were forced to reduce their army from six million all the way down to one hundred thousand. Germany also had to pay off all the damage from the war which would cost them 132 billion gold marks or 33 billion USD.

DNA Experiment

 Aim: To extract DNA from kiwi fruit.

Method: 

1. Mush half a kiwi fruit in a zip bag with a splash of water and a small teaspoon of salt.

2. Strain the solution through a cloth into a beaker. 

3. Add a squirt of dishwashing liquid and stir.

4. Pour into a test tube.

5. Place the test tube in a beaker filled with warm water.

6. Leave for 10 mins. 

7. Slowly pour 5mL of methylated spirits down the inside of the test tube.

Result: 

Discussion: 

Where do you find DNA from the kiwi.  

What makes up the Methylated Spirits.  

How much DNA do humans share with the bananas we share 60% DNA.

Conclusion: Did it work?

Yes it did work we got the DNA from the kiwi fruit.
