NATIONALISM
Hey: You should never act in anger.
The youth (thats you) are what decide the future.
So, are you going to be like Hitlers Youth,
Jump on the bandwagon,
or are you going to make your own deciscions?
Please, take this to heart!
What we discuss, we want people to comment on,
and to learn from.
If you do, then you will realize it's up
to you to change the world."
~Anthony Ehrgott
Cover of Night by Elie Wiesel
-Night by Elie Wiesel is a powerful book. The lessons to be learned here are infinate, and we must all learn somehow. The Holocaust is not just a sad story, it is a horrific tale of terrible suffering, tragic loss, and unimaginable death. Events in the Holocaust were all started by nationalism, so what is this force that can turn good people into vicious, mindless monsters? Propoganda, even used here in the United States, can cause unexpected results that could haunt the world forever with a sea of bloody ashes and tortured bodies. This powerful force should be used lightly, not freely as with the Nazis. All of us should learn to recognize and interpret propoganda in the simplest form. Check the links on Recognizing Propoganda to learn more.
~Caleb Ruby
"From the depths of the mirror, a corpse gazed back at me. The look in his eyes, as they
stared into mine, has never left me."
~Elie Wiesel in Night Page 109
"The Jews are undermining our glorious march to the future. Germans! Defend yourselves against the Jewish Conspiracy!"
~German Pamphlet in Flames of the Tiger P. 58

We can all learn from the experiances of others, but the
experiance of the Jews durring the Holocaust is probably one we should all remember and
shudder at the memory. Millions of helpless people slaughtered for one man's hate; many
millions more forever affected by its terror.
There are many ways for telling their stories. So, we've put together some songs and poems for you.

Anthony or Marisa, one of you guys who actually payed attention to how to make new pages, would you mind creating and even doing the Recognizing Propoganda page. If you have lossed the sheets, I hopefully have mind. Even then, Mrs. Fife should have some still.

Anthony, if you are wondering where the grim reaper w/ American flag cape is, check out the Recognizing Propoganda page. I put it there as an example of German Propoganda against America. If that is not its true meaning, please fell free to change the caption under it. XANATOS says hello!

Hey Rubes, Anthony, and Marisa! You are doing a great job on the page. It is very informational and interesting; however, the red highlighting makes the page kind of hard to read. Keep up the good work!

I have completed the Recognzing Popoganda (stupid typing error on the name of the bloody site that I don't know how to change) page. Feel free to edit (and give credit for editing not just a few words Anthony) and talk to me for changes to the site.

We need a Maus II quote on the quotes page. I donot think I can get ahold of anything, so I want one of you to do it if you can. I will try, but if I can't, just make sure it is about nationalism. XANATOS says hello.

I believe the Error Eradicator has some work to do on the main page. There's a couple errors I see.
