Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl http://annefrankdiscussion.wikispaces.com/ Group Presentations Due: December 11-12 Each group will give a PowerPoint presentation of their topic, and each person in the group will speak for at least 3-5 minutes. Presentations must have pictures, but be tasteful. **Do not** show gruesome or graphic pictures! Presentations may include youtube clips, as well. On the wiki you will find links to appropriate online material. Use the youtube videos that are on the wiki site, and please use the google custom search which we’ve supplied for you as well. 1)   During the Holocaust many Jews began establishing “hideouts.” Teach the class about the struggles that people went through as they tried to hide. Give examples of different hideouts and include pictures.    2)    Teach the class about Hitler’s rise to power. Why did the people allow a dictator to rule them? Please focus on Hitler’s rise to power, but you may also include any stories about people who spoke out against Hitler. 3)   Teach the class about why Hitler decided to persecute the Jews. Tell us about the history of Anti-Semitism. Also, include details about what Hitler’s goals were.    4)    Teach the class about the role that the US played in WWII. Why did it take so long for the US to get involved, and what finally prompted the US into action? 5)   We got a glimpse of life in a concentration camp while watching //Life is Beautiful//. Now, give us a few more details. What really happened in those camps? Why do some people still claim that the Holocaust is a hoax despite ample evidence to the contrary?
