The Night Of Chrystal (Kristalnacht)

On November 10th 1933, this is the night of chrystal, when the Nazis came into town and all over Germany, burned the Jewish buisness, and burnt all the synagogues. In the end, after all the windows have been shattered, chaos passed, reality set in and the destruction was seen, an estimation of over 100 Jews, were killed, but an unknown amount of Jews commited sucicude, many died in the hospitial, and 30,000 Jews were forced into concentration camp.

On account of some survivors, they recall this horrific night, and the propaganda used against them.

Susan Strauss Taube recalls how they were about to go to school and than they saw all the synagogues burn, turning on the radio, they were told to stay inside their homes. Her father was thrown into a concentration camp for 4 weeks and told to leave Germany imediately. Her father released but was not seen for a few more weeks, he escaped and fled to Holland. Everything was confiscated. When I saw this I felt awful. I can't believe after the surrounding countries sat around watching and didn't even assisting. What I want to know is, why didn't anyone stand up to the bully? After watching someone go against the flow, don't you think other countries would've been less passive and stand up to Germany? Germany had just went through turmoil, they couldn't have been too powerful yet.

Hitler has been setting Germany up for the worst. I think Kristalnacht was the serious turning point. Actually it was more like the fall. So everything that was happening before Kristalnacht was like little steps slowly descending, than Kristalnacht was like the empty missing steps. Hitler thought he was helping Germany regain her pride, he was manipulating all of Germany and they helped him create Genocide. Than when they knew they had lost, Hitler turned his back on them and killed himself, rather than taking the consequences. People were forced to go in and kill innocent people and they aren't allowed to oppose, only if they wish for death.

The Jews were targeted and along with the Communists. The Communists were targets because they were seen as a threat to Germany. Other people such as Gays, Lesebians, people with mental issues were also put into because they were seen as "staining" Germany. So they would be placed into Concentration Camps

This part of history is horrific and it has scarred many people. However we shouldn't blame Germany. We all stood by and watched. We all just sat there thinking of what we should do. We had thought of helping, but that doesn't matter, we didn't help. Therefore we are also to blame. Think about Canada who didn't come to aid people. Or the USA who came in later rather than jumping in and helping. We all watched Germany build and expand their pyramid of hate. We are as much to blame as Germany is. Despite everything awful that has happened, we have this as an example. To teach generations to come, the horrible actions, the watching, the seeing, the propaganda, we can still learn from our mistakes. We can't turn around the past, but we can turn the future.

Coming a MM (milimeter) closer to knowing myself

Mr. Whitting and Mrs. Narsiman both enter the classroom. They hand us sheets with weird figures drawn on them, two eyes, two eye sockets, two ears, two hands, two legs. They explain about the brain, how our brains have two hemispheres. The right, which controls the left side of the body, and the left side, which controls the right. Kids who had health or are doing health, all groan in unision and some even hiss to their neighbor "I already know what I am, we did this in health!" the people who haven't done this, look around awkwardly and pretend to know what is going on. Mr. Whitting explains more about the brain and how we shut down if go through too much stress. We all did the little tests, and each of us got one of the profiles that were piled into a black binder. Mine was MM.

I learn from metaphors, examples, and associations. I look and listen for intention and emotion. I am also highly intuitive, often I will do things that just feel right, not knowing the truth or the reasoning behind my decision. I am also very physically and emotionally expressive. The best way to talk to me, is by me turning my head to my left ear, and rather looking at the person, I must listen to the tone, pitch, and rhythm. I learn best when I am moving and I need to see the whole context, or the whole picture and having an emotional relevance to myself before I actually have it best learnt.

I learn best when I move around. I am a kinesthetic learner so I must move around. I was suggested to do Lazy 8's during while I am sitting. It will help if I do cross lateral movements, cross crawl, and Hook Ups from Brain Gym. I can learn well by focusing the whole picture, context and emotional relevance to self. I must be able to see, hear, move or verbalize the whole context before learning the details. I must be moving myself to help me think (it will most likely be my hands)

I often will understand the main idea, but I might have a great trouble seeing and communicating the details. I have trouble following step by step instructions, I will tend to follow my intuition and do what seems apropriate. I will often start imagining what will happen in the end rather than thinking about it. My movemens tend to be relaxed and energetic when I am relaxed, but when I'm stressed, I willbe cautious, clumsy and stuck.

My teacheres should know, I have difficulty with pennmanship, but I benefit from fine motor, hand-eye coordinations as well. My left eye reads right to left, I may have trouble reading or writting langues that move from left to right like English. I may reverse or tanspose letters/numbers.
