B Day: Resistance against Nazis

Hey everyone! Today we talked about the horrors of the Final Solution during the Holocaust, the systematic and mass killings of Jewish people in the 1940s. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me and I will be glad to answer them!

As was stated, many Jewish and non-Jewish people resisted the Nazis and their attrocities. Therefore, for homework, you were assigned a specific person who resisted Nazi rule. I have included the list below. Please research your person for next class and write down what they did and how the Nazis reacted (if they found out). What was the risk these people endured by helping?

This is the list. it is important that everyone does the research for the class:

Connor Buckley: Guiovanni Palatucci
Chriselys DeLaCruz: Johannes Bogaard
Steph F.: Hermann Friedrich Graebe
Claudia Fuentes: Miep Gies
Laura Jones: the Bielski brothers
Ryan Kiel: Jan and Antonina Zabinski
John Patterson: Irena Sendler
Audrey Romano: Chiune-Sempo Sugihara
Sydney Rosenberg: Oskar Schindler
Ariel Sheridan: Johan Benders
Rachel Weber: Varian Fry
Jackie Weisser: Raoul Wallenberg
