Well apart from Zenithliza said, i also in included the instruments of Nazism which helped to implement Hitlers anti-semitic ideals. eg. SS, Gestapo, Death Head Units, Concentration Camps, Civil Service (enabling law), etc etc.
Then there were the various forms of propaganda he used; radio, cinema, mass rallies, newspapers, posters etc etc.

I only however happened to mention briefly the two main nuremburg laws that were passed on September 15, 1935 - is that ok?:confused:

Also, I happened to mention Einsatsgruppen in Russia, and just said how hatred against the Jews stretched out from Germany - is that relevant? I just included anything I could that I remembered!

Fingers crossed!

Catch ya's,
Al

Germany question

Was anyone else annoyed by the fact that they didn't intergrate the concepts into the question? They did that last year for every essay and then all of a sudden they had decided not to!
The question about the Jews was practically the same as last years which is a total joke!

I was so not prepared for that question - i was expecting something like totalitarianism or nationalism. I thort it was a joke - how is that meant to adequately show our knowledge?

Considering that my teacher totally blowed and we didnt even do anything that involved either of the questions, I'd say im buggered.
I found out about a week before the exam that we hadn't covered tonnes of stuff- so I was trying to learn major parts of topics that I had no idea about- hopefully i did okay though, I talked about most of the stuff mentioned here, so I'm crossing my fingers and cursing my teacher all the way to HELL!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :chainsaw: :chainsaw: :chainsaw:

Our teacher really hadnt covered the Jews extensively, so most of my class answered the other question. But ack, I thought the other question was dreadful!
Ohh.. and I meant vilified in my first post. Hehe.. it had been a long day.

hey laura, I did the same question as you, except I didn't even write about Kristallnacht, I talked a bit about propaganda then when I got to almost 2 pages I thought stuff this, Im moving on to Cold War, theres no point crapping on about stuff that has no relevance.

I was banking on totalitarianism too, but upon closer inspection, I was able to twist most of my tot. knowledge to the Jewish question.

The rise of Hitler question could also have been done if u studied Weimar.

I was convinced it was going to be a question about Hitler's policies, because last year they did totalitarianism and that stuff, this year for the trials in the Catholic papers they did how he came to power, I didn't even think of whether they would do minority groups. Thankfully I studied the holocaust in year 10 and enjoyed the way that teacher taught it - so we actually learned something - so I'm probably on band 3. Funny, I hadn't thought about bands for history.

Did anyone here do Leni Riefenstahl for their national study?

I don't think many schools did Leni..............our class did it.........was the easiest thing I have ever done in my life! the exam on the personality was easy because we had done a similar question in an assessment task, was good and stuff!
