We are one week away from Spring Break! WOOHOO!
Today we did Olympic Sign-ups.
At 1:18 we began talking about dictators and how "America is one party away from dictatorship." (Ivan Dextre)
At 1:23 we began talking about Hitler and that "Hitler could have been a good guy." (Bryant Nguyen) Strange thought, isn't it? Nowadays, everyone perceives Hitler as an evil dictator, but he merely took advantage of the situation in Germany and used it for his own benefit. Anyone could have done so, even you. Think about that for a moment. Any one of us could end up being like Hitler, Stalin, or Mao.
Hitler's hatred towards Jews possibly started when he wanted to get into art school, and couldn't because there had been a lot of Jews enrolling at the same time. Maybe "Hitler wouldn't have been so bad if he had gotten into art school." (Dylan Han)
At 1:44, we learned about Hitler wanting Poland. We looked at political cartoons, such as one in which Poland was personified as a bird and Hitler was saying he wanted a thin slice of the neck.
