For the DBQ: Tuesday is Section A (Source Analysis). To prepare for this, examine the sources below. Do ask your parents for their input! Also, do some research on the web. Don't forget that I have linked to some amazing websites on my Moodle page. You are not allowed to take notes into the test for Section A.
Section B (Wednesday) is the writing part of the test. You will be allowed a note card on which you may write NOTES (bullet points, table, spider diagram). You may copy directly any quotes that you intend to use. I'll check the cards on Wednesday as you are taking your writing section.
Test Taking Tips!
- Remember to use the CLAIM, EVIDENCE, INTERPRET method of writing.
- State what you see as fact, avoid ABSOLUTES (Nazi's ALWAYS did this or that; the people ALL felt this way...and so on).
- Don't jump to conclusions unless asked in your opinion, or to deduce, or to worth something out.
- Stick to the facts as you see them in the sources in front of you.
- Refer to the sources "In source 1 I can see..." or "The similarities between sources 1 and 2 are...." in your answers.
- You may refer to other things that you know from our readings, discussions, your wider knowledge AFTER referring to the sources provided. Remember this is a DOCUMENT BASED QUIZ and therefore you must use the data presented in front of you.
- Read the questions over twice before jumping in to answer - highlight the DOING words in the question, identify if there are two parts to the question, look how many marks it is worth, and how many lines you have been given on which to write.
- Keep an eye on the time - aim to complete Section A on Tuesday.
- When working on Section B, review the writing tips given on the paper and be sure to look at the rubric carefully.
- And lastly....Good Luck! We've done some amazing learning this trimester - now it is your chance to show what you know.

CONTEXT
The Holocaust was the murder of six million Jews and millions of others by the Nazis and their collaborators during World War II. Mass killings began in June 1941 with the shooting of Jewish civilians during the German invasion of the Soviet Union. At the end of 1941, the Germans began deporting Jews to killing centers in occupied Poland. By May 1945, about two out of every three Jews in Europe had been murdered.
Prewar European Jewish population: 9.5 million.
Before World War II, more than half of the world's Jewish population lived in Europe. Most Jews lived in eastern Europe, primarily in the Soviet Union and Poland. The Nazi party came to power in Germany in 1933. The Germans moved to extend their power in central Europe, annexing Austria and destroying Czechoslovakia. Germany invaded Poland in 1939, beginning World War II. Over the next two years, German forces conquered most of Europe. The Germans established ghettos in occupied eastern territories, isolating and persecuting the Jewish population. Nazi anti-Jewish policy expanded with the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Mobile killing units murdered Jews, Roma (also called Gypsies), Soviet political commissars, and others. The Germans and their collaborators deported Jews to killing centers in occupied Poland. At the largest killing center, Auschwitz-Birkenau, transports arrived almost daily from across Europe. By war's end, almost six million Jews and millions of others had perished in the Holocaust.

Look carefully at the maps below to draw conclusions about changes in the Jewish population.
What is propoganda?
Propaganda is biased information designed to shape public opinion and behavior.
Propaganda simplifies complicated issues or ideology for popular consumption, is always biased, and is geared to achieving a particular end. Propaganda generally employs symbols, whether in written, musical, or visual forms, and plays upon and channels complex human emotions towards a desired goal. It is often employed by governmental and private organizations to promote their causes and institutions and denigrate their opponents. Propaganda functions as just one weapon in the arsenal of mass persuasion.(The Holocaust Museum: Propaganda)

PART B: OBSTACLES TO RESISTANCE
Consider what Father says to Bruno in Boyne's The Boy in Striped Pyjamas: "Accept the situation in which you find yourself and everything will be so much easier" (page 53). Using the sources write a paragraph that examines why people remained silent, and 'accepted the situation in which (they) found themselves'. Why did more people not speak out against Hitler's harsh rule?
