April 7


I talked a little bit about the end of WWII in Europe, and how after the failure of Operation Barbarossa (the Nazi invasion of the USSR), the success of the Allied invasion of Italy and the D-Day invasion that the end of the war was near for the Nazis in WWII. We watched an excerpt from the film "Saving Private Ryan" as well today. Tomorrow, and for the next few days we will be looking at the Holocaust and other genocides in the 20th century.


You wrote your Chapter 5 Test today. I put up a print out of your up-to-date marks today as well. These marks will of course be out of date after the results of today's test are factored in. Your "Nazism/Fascism Booklet" is due tomorrow. You have a matching quiz on Friday featuring 39 key concepts associated with Nazi Germany. Please see the study guide below.


This quiz is a short matching quiz, with a word bank. What you'll have is a list of key people, key terms and key events associated with Nazi Germany (this is your word bank) and then you'll have a description that you'll have to match it up with. Here's a list of possible key terms that you might see on this quiz:

  • anti-Semitism
  • Aryan
  • concentration camp
  • corporate state
  • Dachau
  • decree
