By: Yvonne Rodríguez and Natalie Whitson 4ºESO We read the book : "The Holocaust" >Resume: This book explains the Holocaust, that is the slaughter of Jews by Hitler. It all started with the desire to have only purebred (i.e. blond, blue eyes...) why and for simply reason born Jewish had to received abuse from society. The Jews were foreigners recitals and spies, so when the plague spread in the fourteenth century people did not hesitate to blame the Jews. The Jews demonstrated their loyalty during the 1st World War fighting in honor of their country, but even knowing this they blame the defeat by Germany, France , England and America. This "punishment" of Jews grew in 1933 when Hitler became Germany´s new leader.From this point the first murders of the soldiers toward Jews in broad daylight and, shortly after , their recruitment into concentration camps, where they lived in terrible conditions under the supervision of soldiers armed and were forced to perform forced labor . As the Germans were losing the war , they had to accelerate the final solution, that killed more than a hundred thousand Jews in these movements. Those who weren´t able to get away and tetum home. >Review by Yvonne: I liked the changes dynamically English, but the negative of this experience is not having the choice to pick the item or book, that i draw the attention, although it is difficult to distribute many different books among many students, but if it was the case of choosing a different book, I would have chosen other topic because this subject , i knew it. This does not detract importance but I would have liked to read some other topic about i don't knew. Even so, this book has given me knowledge that I was unaware, for example in other countries the Holocaust happened , because I thought it had just happened in Germany but no , there are many countries (with less intensity) involved in this slaughter , between they, Spain.
By: Sara Espino Reyes and Sonia García Valle. -We read the book: Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was living in Austria. When he turned 11 years, his father it sent to Realschule, but he was a reluctant student since his passion was to draw and to write. When his father died he was liberated. He would move to Vienna and excel as student at the Academy of Fine Arts. But then he received the devasting new that this mother had breast cancer. He returned to Vienna to do the exams but when they saw that it wasn’t good, they threw it. He was the man first on entering the army. After years of bloody fighting, most German craved peace. But Adolf wanted revenge. Adolf was discharged from the army and got a full time job working for the German Worker’s Party, but it changed the name, the Nazi Party. His niece dead and Adolf became ever colder and more calculating. Desperate for a new government, Germany held a series of elections. As result, the Nazis gained as incredible 36% of the vote. Hitler spoke of peace and stability, but his real goal was world domination. Jews, disabled people, gypsies and protestors were herded into concentration camps and forced to work in appalling conditions. At the end, Hitler married Eva Braun and commits suicide. -Our opinion: Our experience of this activity has been quite good and thanks to this we have learned enough English , searching for words and phrases giving them meaning. Our book has been very interesting and we learned a little life of Adolf Hitler.
