.... was the baby. She said that during the holocaust, more than 1 and a half million children, under twelve, died. Only one out of ten Jews, survived. Poland, out of all other countries in the world, lost the most Jews. She said that neighbors, and friends of Jews turned on them and helped cause the Holocaust. At a concentration camp, Jews were ordered to make a sign saying, "You could earn your freedom from work." When they did that, they made one letter into a secret message telling the Jews that it was a bad place, where they die. In class from the notes I learned that, World-wide depression had many Germans out of work, and they were hungry. Because of that, the ....

.... was not focused on just religion. The artists focused on the physical expression and body movements of the people in the paintings or sculptures. People in Renaissance paintings were less stiff, and all the same size. Artists were concerned with realism and emotions. Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Botticelli were artists of the Renaissance who focused on these ideas. The Renaissance did not reflect the Middle Ages at all in the art category. Paintings in the Middle Ages focused on religion. People were painted flat, rigid, and all different sizes according to levels of importance. The paintings were symbolic from corner to corner. Artists of the Middle Ages almost nev ....

.... the same room, unless they were separated by a seven foot or higher wall, and there must be different street entrances for the two races. Another law said that blacks and whites cannot legally play together in any game of pool or billiards. Employers of both black and white males must provide easily accessible separate toilet facilities for them. Finally, the last Alabama Jim Crow Law said that nurses cannot be forced to nurse in wards or rooms in hospitals, public or private, where black men are placed. Jim Crow Laws have a long history that includes many court cases and disputes. Southern legislatures passed these segregation laws to create a social separation system an ....

.... about nearly every great issue is that one individual can make a world of difference. Luther and the Reformation, Voltaire and the Enlightenment, Marx and Marxism, Darwin and Darwinism, Bolshevism/ Communism and Lenin, Nazism and Hitler, these are all people and movements that are mentioned together. In one way these issues and individuals are inseparable. There is a similarity between all of these famous individuals and the issues that they represent. Each one of them, in one way or another, has influenced today and the lives that we live. Each of these issues has enhanced history and the relevance of its studying. Put them together in a sort of time line, and one ....

.... of riots in early 1964. Beatlemania had reached unbelievable proportions in England, it became a form of reverse lend-lease and spread to the United States. Capitol records followed the Beatles' single record with the release of an album, "Meet the Beatles," in late January of 1964. That event was followed by the Beatles themselves, who arrived in New York February 8, 1964 for three appearances with Ed Sullivan. The first show was scheduled for Sunday, February 9, the second was telecast from Miami a week later, and the third pre-taped for an airing in March. These concerts were the most watched television programs ever (70 million viewers) unti ....

.... When you talk about eastern philosophy you can't help but talk about Confucius. He is the central focus of eastern thought and his teachings branched out to his diciples (like the famous Mencius). According to tradition, Confucius was born in the state of Lu of the noble K'ung clan. His original name was K'ung Ch'iu. His father, commander of a district in Lu, died three years after Confucius was born, leaving the family in poverty; but Confucius nevertheless received a fine education. "To learn and from time to time to apply what one has learned -- isn't that a pleasure?" Analects 1:1 He was married at the age of 19 ....

.... elected by the other members. The president had virtually no authority of his own; and the council spent most of their time "bickering" and "intriguing" against one another instead of "planting" and "gathering" food. There was no true "absolute" power, hence no control over the "lazy" council. Another explanation for its failure to feed itself is the "collective organization" of labor in the colony. The colonists were expected to work together as a whole to produce food and exports to make money. Those with shares would get part of the profits, but meanwhile the idea of private farming was lacking. The contribution of a worker had no affect on his share of the profit. ....

.... especially Justin Berger. Justin, a boy in my age group at Camp Wayne, who was born with some kind of illness that prevented him from controlling the movements of his left hand. I never teased him or talked badly about him to others; what I did in some ways was much worse. I labeled him “different.” I saw him as inferior and thought that he needed some extra leeway in such activities as sports. However, Justin saw his handicap as a motivator, a reason to work harder and excel in all aspects of camp life. Camp Wayne was very competitive; the summer culminated with four days of intense sports competition called Color War. It was during Color War that my ....
