 * A tribute to Anne Frank

Anne and her sister Margot spent a month at [|Auschwitz] before being transferred to [|Bergen-Belsen]. They both died there in April, 1945, during a [|typhus]epidemic. The youtube below shows us what Auschwitz was like for the prisoners and contains images of deaths. Images of the [|holocaust] are distressing. We must never forget that these events took place and that is why we study them. At the same time, it is hard to face what people who have lost all sense of humanity can do to their fellow human beings. With this in mind, I would like you to view the following with discretion, and think carefully about why it is important to remember.

 * 2) The Weimar government was a democracy. What happened to it?
