<http://www.britannica.com///548/Holocaust>. This source was very helpful because it

gave the general background information of the Holocaust. It also gave specific details of

happenings such as that “7,500 Jewish businesses were gutted and some 1,000

synagogues burned or damaged in the Krisallnacht pogrom in 1983...”. From this

background, we could further research the Holocaust.

As we moved forward in our project and focused more on specific parts of the Holocaust,

this source was very useful by providing one of the laws, the Nurnberg Laws, designed

by Adolf Hitler. These laws stated many different laws against the Jews and later used as

a model to be used against the Roma (gypsies) that all resulted in separating Jews from

Germans. This database also provided specifically who were considered Jews or Germans

by their definition of their time. For example, a full Jew had 3 Jewish grandparents.

 8 Nov. 2010. <http://www.britannica.com////resistance>. This article provided some

background information about the resistance against the Nazi rule and Germany. It was

useful as it gave specific countries and how they helped in the cause. For example,

among all French groups there was a group established in 1943 known as the National

Council of the Resistance. These groups published clandestine newspapers, helped Jews

escape and Allied airmen shot down over enemy territory. Many resistance forces in

Northern European countries undertook military actions to assist Allied forces.

them from every other German.

2 Jan. 2011. <http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/.htm>. This website briefly explains

the beginning of Adolf Hitler’s rule with anti-Semitism and how he had originally

planned to make Jews emigrate by making life unpleasant for them, similar to what had

happened with blacks in the Civil War. It also goes into the first stages of the Nuremberg

Laws and how marriage between Jews and Aryans were illegal said in the Law for the

Protection of German Blood and German Honour (15th September, 1935).

<http://www1.yadvashem.org/_holocaust///doc43.html>. This is a primary source by Dr.

Leo Lauterbach, the Director of the Organization Department of the World Zionist

Organization, a report made to the Executive of the Zionist Organization in 1938. As this

was a primary source it was a point of view and observations from a certain person. He
 says although the Gestapo was possibly in charge, there had been no policy announced in

public, Lauterbach gave guesses on which was about to happen to which he said that, “If

this analysis is correct, no effort should be spared on our side to counteract such

tendencies and to give the Austrian Jews not only material support, but also moral

encouragement.”

extremely realistic, and honest. From these entries it is clear to tell the feelings of the

people and how living during the holocaust was, with details that a textbook may not

give.
