DNA experiment

 In science we did an experiment where we extracted DNA from a kiwi fruit this was a pretty fun experiment which a fair few of steps and ingredients.

  Ingredients

1. kiwifruit
2. knife
3. snap lock bag
4. alcohol/cleaning meths
5. dish detergent
6. water
7. test tube
8. cloth
9. beaker/cup
10. ice block stick

 Methods

1. Cut up kiwifruit leave out skin and middle bit
2. Put kiwifruit, water and dish detergent in snap lock bag
3. squish ingredients in bag until its not solid
4. filter kiwifruit so there's only liquid in the beaker
5. Pour liquid into a test tube 
6. put some alcohol or cleaning meths into test tube
7. let it sit for a bit
8. put ice block in the test tube 
9. stir the mixture around for a bit 
10. take the ice block stick out of test tube and you will be left with a residue which is the DNA of the kiwifruit

Here are the pictures experiment

 

 

Re-creating of the past

 In these clips we can see soldiers discovering a concentration camp. These soldiers see the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps as they see malnourished Jews and decomposing body's of dead Jews. They were in shock and disbelief as it looked like a bunch of very sick and very skinny people just walking around. This would have a huge impact on the soldiers as it was a very disturbing scene for anyone to see.  Later on we see all these lifeless body's getting buried in mass unmarked graves which these horrors could have long lasting effects on soldiers.

How does evidence in this document show that “Kristallnacht” was planned in advance of the event actually happening?

 TO ALL REGIONAL AND SUB-REGIONAL GESTAPO OFFICES

sent at 1:20AM, November 8, 1938

SUBJECT: MEASURES AGAINST THE JEWS THIS NIGHT
That only such measures were to be taken that would not endanger German lives or property (e.g. the burning of synagogues was only to be carried out if there was no danger of fire spreading to the surrounding district).  Businesses and residences of Jews may be damaged but not looted. Particular care is to be paid in business sections and surrounding streets. Non-Jewish businesses are to be protected from damage under all circumstances. Police are to seize all archives from synagogues and offices of community organizations, this refers to material of historical significance. Archives are to be handed over to the SS. As soon as possible, officials are to arrest as many Jews especially wealthy ones - in all districts as can be accommodated in existing cells. For the time being, only healthy male Jews of not too advanced age are to be arrested.

 Signed by Reinhard Heydrich,
SS Gruppenfürer

This is evidence that Kristallnacht was a planned event as this letter was written a day before Kristallnacht happened early in the morning. It was also planned as they would have been thinking about what to do to the Jews and what type they wanted to arrest young healthy males. This letter was written early in the morning the day before disaster struck.

The Nuremberg Laws

 THE NUREMBERG LAWS

At their annual party rally held in Nuremberg in September 1935, the Nazi leaders announced new laws based on many of the racial theories common in Nazi beliefs. These "Nuremberg Laws" excluded German Jews from Reich citizenship and prohibited them from marrying or having sexual relations with persons of "German or German-related blood." Additional regulations to these laws deprived them of most political rights. Jews were disenfranchised (that is, they had no right to vote) and could not hold public office. 

The Nuremberg Laws did not identify a "Jew" as someone with particular religious beliefs. Instead, the first amendment to the Nuremberg Laws defined anyone who had three or four Jewish grandparents as a Jew, regardless of whether that individual recognized himself or herself as a Jew or belonged to the Jewish religious community. Many Germans who had not practiced Judaism (the Jewish religion) or who had not done so for years found themselves caught in the grip of Nazi terror. Even people with Jewish grandparents who had converted to Christianity could be defined as Jews. 

The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 was the start of a new wave of anti-Semitic laws that brought about immediate segregation: Jewish patients were no longer admitted to municipal hospitals in Düsseldorf, German court judges could not refer to legal commentaries or opinions written by Jewish authors, Jewish officers were expelled from the army, and Jewish university students were not allowed to sit for doctoral exams. 

Other regulations reinforced the message that Jews were outsiders in Germany; for example, in December 1935, the Reich Propaganda Ministry issued a decree forbidding Jewish soldiers to be named among the dead in World War I memorials.

1. Provide two examples of ways in which the Nuremburg laws affected the rights of German Jews. They couldn't have any type of romantic relations with Jewish people. they couldn't be admitted to municipal hospitals.   

2. What other actions were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany? (Remembering)  I think that the holocaust was pretty disscriminating.

3. Why do you think that the Nazis passed these laws? (Understanding) So they could begin preping for the Holocaust

4. If a New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand, what do you think the reaction of most New Zealand people would be? Why do you think this might be the case? (Applying) I feel like there would be mixed reactions as some people in New Zealand would be for it. But that's always the case with something like that. Obviously there would be a majority of people that are against this type of segregation well i would hope so.  

5. Do you think these Nuremburg laws were racist? Explain your point of view. (Evaluating)

Obviously this is racist this is segregation. If you were a Jewish person you couldn’t be admitted to hospitals or mix with other races. This separation between races leads to many problems in modern day society. Like how African Americans still suffer discrimanation from the segregation that happened to them. Jewish people were treated like animals they were treated as if they were spawn of the devil which no ethnicity should be treated like that.      

Hittler's views

  the ultimate idea of bastardising (lowering the quality of) the white race which they hate and thus lowering its cultural and political level. Hittler was saying that when Jews mix with white people it would lead them to populate the white race.

The Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end...spying on the unsuspicious German girl he plans to seduce. Hittler is trying to give the idea that Jewish youth are pursuing a german girl and that  the Jewish are trying to get Germans to join them and leave Germany.
