Hitler's rise to power, Kristallnacht

January 1933, Hitler gained power through flames at Reichstag. Hitler had completely brainwashed everyone in the country, including children. Nazis recruited many unemployed men and one propaganda phrase was: "When Jewish blood drops from the knife, you know everything will be fine." That caused racial hatred. Hitler then convinces president Hindenburg to suspend all civil liberties. November 1938, on the night of the 9th and 10th, Kristallnacht. Shattered glass, burning houses, synagogues, the name Kristallnacht was given. Over 30,000 Jews were sent to concentration camp, over 90 were killed. The Jews then had to play one billion marks for the damage "they" had done from the events that had happened. In 1933, the first concentration camp was formed in Dachau. Communist, socialist, democrats and catholics were sent to the camp. They also suspended all Jews from civil services and universities. Jews were portrayed by Hitler as greedy, repulsive, corrupt and anti-German. This also showed up in textbooks. This shocked me. How would like it if you were called greedy, repulsive and corrupt? In September 1935, the Nuremberg laws mentioned to take away all citizenship rights from the Jews. The Nazis were not thinking genocide, they just wanted the Jews to leave Germany. Thousands left but no country would accept them. Canada's infamous quote was " How many should we take it? None is too many."

Hitler knew he had to control the children too. He made them dedicate their lives to Hitler. The Hitler youth camp started in 1922. The kids felt they had a mission and felt important. They had sworn in their lives to The Fuhrer and the Fatherland. They were taught that the Jews were a dirty and poisonous race.

The painting shows the Nazis smashing the windows and beating the Jews. This is the reason it was called Kristallnacht. The smashing of windows. The faces of the Jews show how horrified they were during Kristallnacht.

Is this really me?

This is my DomiKnow.

My learning profile is profile L. Which means I am a gestalt learner. To find out what learner you are, you need to find out your dominant eye, ear, arm and leg. All my dominant parts are on the right, which makes me a profile L. The right side of your brain means your a gestalt learner, the left means your a logic learner. When I fidget around with a pencil, eraser, paper or other things you have on a desk, it may seem like I'm not paying attention, but I am. I also focus on the whole picture.

I prefer not to do instructions that requires it to be done step-by-step. I think of the end result and that is what suits me. When I am under stress, I need quiet time on my so I can easily get new ideas. However, when I am under stress, I shut down completely. It gets difficult for me to see, remember, communicate and hear, which really is me. Sometimes when reading a book, I can read but can't remember a thing about what I read, and will have to read that page again. I can easily loose focus on what I am doing when it is noisy. When I hear noise, I will look towards that direction.

While doing a test, I will get stressed and not remember a thing. Activities that can help me are lazy 8's, brain caps and more. There are different brain gym activities you can do. While the teacher is teaching, I would learn easier with metaphors and my doing things that involve movement. I won't know where to start chunking it down when I see the whole picture.

This is what I would like my teachers to know about me. In class, I would like to do activities that involve movement so I can learn better.
