Night Scavenger Hunt

1. The Holocaust is the mass slaughter of 6 million Jews, and 5 millions others by the Nazi's and Hitler. It happened because the Nazi's had different religious/political views, and because these people failed to be of the Aryan race, which is blonde hair and blue eyes. It occurred in Europe, mainly in Germany, Poland and Austria.
2. The "final solution" plan was a code name for the Nazi's total extermination of the Jews, gypsies, and other's they were persecuting.


3. A "ghetto" was a city district in which the Germans concentrated the Jewish population and forced them to live under horrible conditions.


4. The living conditions in the ghettos were crowded. Jews had to wear the yellow star of David on their clothes to show they were Jewish.


5. Concentration Camps were where Jews were taken to live, and essentially be killed.


6. 1) To incarcerate real and perceived enemies of the Nazi regime and the German occupation authorities in Poland for an indefinite period of time.
    2) To have available a supply of forced laborers for deployment in SS-owned, construction-related enterprises (and, later, armaments and other war-related production)
    3) To serve as a site to physically eliminate small, targeted groups of the population whose death was determined by the SS and police authorities to be essential to the security of Nazi Germany. 


7. Approximately 1.1 million Jews were deported to Auschwitz. Approximately 200,000 other victims were deported. At least 960,000 Jews were killed. Other victims included approximately 74,000 Poles, 21,000 Gypsies, 15,000 Soviet prisoners of war, and 10,000-15,000 members of other nationalities (Soviet civilians, Czechs, Yugoslavs, French, Germans, and Austrians.


8. The Jews who were assigned to work in the factories had a much greater survival chance because factory workers were considered too valuable to kill, at least while they were still able to work.
Elie Wiesel worked at Monowitz.

9-sentence paragraph

In Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery", irony is illustrated through the community event of the lottery. Initially the reader begins to assume that the lottery is an event where something is won, but as the story progresses, one realizes that the lottery is a death sentence.At the beginning of the story everything seemed like it was going perfectly throughout the town and everyone was happy and all the kids were playing together. "The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green." (1)  At the end of the story this town is not a happy place. "it isn't fair, it isnt right!" Mrs.Hutchinson screamed and then they were upon her.(8) If you won the lottery you were sentenced to death by having everyone in town throw rocks at you from only about a foot away. This is how Mrs. Hutchinson dies and that is why she is screaming about the lottery not being fair. Mrs. Hutchinson realizes that this is not a fair deal because you can live or die by chance and that should not decide your death and it shouldn't be as painful as it is.
