3. View some video testimony of Holocaust survivors. What does this kind of historical documentation provide that other kinds do not.
Video testimony allows me to get a deeper understanding of the trauma the Holocaust caused the Jews. With written testimony, I don't get the full impact. But with video, I get to see the pain in their faces as they recount their stories and hear the sadness in their voices. Also it makes it more real to me. With video, it really hits you that this horrible event happened, and this person is the proof. Written testimony can be false or exaggerated. Although some video could be exaggerated as well, I get more of the story by watching personal accounts.

2. What is the difference between civil rights and human rights?
Civil Right- Rights afforded to a person by another person, particularly a minority, such as the 13th or 14th amendments, the government can interfere.
Human Rights- base rights, rights that the government cannot take away, rights you are born with.
The difference is that the government can interfere in civil rights, but cannot take away human rights. A person is born with human rights and are usually the same anywhere you go. Civil rights depends on your citizenship and can vary from country to country.

2. Research the Nuremburg Laws of 1935. How did they affect the daily lives of Jews in Germany.
The Nuremburg laws were first discussed on August 20th, 1935 at a conference of ministers to discuss the economic effects of their actions against Jews. Adolf Wagner, the representative, decided that there should be permanent laws in place to combat the effects.
The following two laws were put in place: 1. Jews were not allowed to marry or have extra marital affairs with Germans, and employ women under 45 to their household. 2. Took away German Citizenship from Jews. It affected the daily lives because Jews were not allowed to be with who they chose, and many women lost their job. Taking away citizenship also took away rights, and because they no longer had rights, the Nazis could do as they pleased.
