The pacific series

So after watching the 2 episodes in class I decided that I was going to watch the rest of the episodes and I did. I thought that they were amazing. I am someone that doesn't really like war movies or shows but I loved the pacific. I really enjoyed the characters and each story that they had. It made me think of each soldier as an individual instead of a huge group of random people. I think that everyone should watch it!

My thoughts on the extra credit movie today.

Today after school we watched Valkyrie. I hadn't seem the movie previously but after the film I had some new thoughs about the Germans at this time. During my previous years of learning about the Nazis people make it seem like every single person living in Germany was a Nazi or a Nazi supporter. In the movie many people new what Hitler was doing was wrong so some of them decided to take a stand against this. I honestly believe that they had every right to do this. Hitler wasn't doing Germany any good by taking over land and killing millions of people and I'm glad that these people weren't brain washed. It's interesting that towards the end they let the German soldiers kill them. If I were them and I found out that our plan failed I would have put that gun to my head and been done with it. I kinda see where they were coming from letting the Germans kill them. It was more about pride and knowing that what they did was the right thing. They died for what they believed in.

Question?

Today at the museum we learned that lots of people tended to single the Jews of because of their beliefs. Our tour guide was telling us that no one really like the Jews. My question is that say the Nazis never came to power would the holocaust still have happened? If there were so many groups that disliked them then was it something that was unavoidable?

People that I knew in the WWII

I personally didn't have any family involved in the war but what I did find that was interesting my boyfriend is very very polish. His mom speaks fluent polish and she also grew up in Poland. Well I was talking to his mom and grandma and i found out that his grandparents actually came to America to avoid the holocaust. I thought that was really cool because they we just a few people that lives were spared. It is also sad to think that there were so many people that didn't have that chance.
