Blog 2: Holocaust dictionary

Which of these twenty-eight entries were you most surprised that you had not heard of before? ...the least? [If you were not surprised, then write about the one you would like to find out more about.] Include the description of the concept [or definition] and your thoughts/feelings.

This entry may be one longer paragraph [at least 7-8 sentences].

A word in our vocab that i would like to learn more is the Aryan Race. I find this interesting because all of the Nazis must be tall, athletic, blonde hair, and blue eyes. The Aryan Race is known as the Code of Conduct among the Nazis. I am also a little curious if this is completely true. I say this because this would mean that every single person is exactly like the description above. I also am curious as to why do they have to have blonde hair and blue eyes.

Blog 1: Reflection

Part I of Ruth Minsky Sender's The Cage explores the experiences Riva and her siblings have while living in the ghetto. Part II of the personal memoir will unveil her horrors in the camps.

What portion of Part I stood out to you in your reading? Provide a page number and short analysis of the excerpt.

The part of Part I that stood out to me the most was when Riva had to take care of her siblings and prevent adoption (57). Riva and her siblings were already facing hardships and now they were put up for adoption, ultimately causing them to split apart. Riva stood up and prevented this from happening.
