Germany Autobahn
The first Reich was a fragmented Germany were they really did not have an identity then they started to unite then with the defeat of Napoleon they finally made the German confederation of 39 states. Then, in 1848 revolution broke out and the German confederation wanted to give monarchy power to Prussia. The second Reich started in 1871-1918, but it was not a democracy, which was basically a dictatorship. The third Reich was when the Nazis came into power and started conquering everything. The Weimar Republic was what was left after World War I, which left Germany broke and hyper inflation took over because England and France were charging the Germans Money. Plus, Weirmar Republic was not successful because the winners of the war made it, Germans had no experience with democracy, and finally the treaty humiliated the Germans and economically crippled the Germans. My link is about how children in Germany learn about the Holocaust. http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2014/02/06/how_do_german_students_learn_about_the_holocaust.html

It is odd how the story is slowly pieced together. I guess it would be hard to swallow just a horrific event all at once and at such a young age. I think that is why higher education is important, because you piece together all the things you learned throughout your life.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I found odd is the way people respond to the situation. The German boy felt as if he was directly responsible, while the Polish acknowledged that it was not directly his fault. If the German boy had acted if he was not responsible, would people look down upon him and consider him evil or heartless?
