Activity 6

Activity 6: The Holocaust

1.       The Holocaust was the extermination/mass genocide of European Jews by the Nazis.

2.       The Nazis believed that the Jews were biologically inferior and a threat to the German people. They wanted to cleanse their country. They wanted to create a pure, Aryan nation. They blamed the Jews for the economic crisis.

3.     They were transported to camps outside Germany where they were gassed and killed. Einsatzgruppen served to execute the Jews outside of Germany.

4.       Most of the German people were unaware of the happenings. The Jews did offer resistance in ghettos on multiple occasions. Occasionally, people like Schindler and certain organisations attempted rescues of the Jews. The Holocaust was stamped out after WWII ended. After the war, the responsible parties were persecuted and executed.

HSS Activity 4: Hitler’s Rise to Power

1.      

2.     The Nazi party’s political manifesto was designed to gain votes. It was aimed at the “pure breed” Germans and preyed on their fear and hatred of outsiders and gave them a sense of identity. It continued to trigger their bloodlust by showing the most obvious injury to their pride: The Treaty of Versailles.

3.     Aryans were pure Germans. They were depicted as tall, blond and blue-eyed. They had to have pure German blood, could not be Jews or Jehovah’s Witnesses, gypsies, disabled or homosexual.

4.      

5.     The Nazi ideologies were brought to the people through school teachers, radio and cinema. People were given a free radio at a stage, which, however, only received the Nazi station, a station that fed propaganda to the people by the boatload. In school, the ideologies were incorporated as part of the curriculum.

Hitler's Rise to Power Timeline

The purpose of SDIs

Because of Apartheid, many areas (especially the white areas) developed while the areas where people of different races lived (homelands in particular) didn’t. When Apartheid ended, the government started the Reconstruction and Development Program. In order to create equality and consistency, they began looking at developing previously undeveloped areas and bettering the standard of living of people living there. They identified Spatial Development Initiatives. These were areas that had high levels of poverty and unemployment. However, the areas did show potential for economic development. They had an ideal population (market and labour force), opportune climates and good infrastructure. They then began sustainable development projects in these areas. SDIs are a partnership between the public sector (government) and the private sector. They pool their skills and resources and skills to achieve what will benefit both. The country becomes more developed while the standards of living in the areas improve.
