About Iris

Student Name: Iris

• Previous Knowledge/Opinions Prior to the Project:  I had learned about the Holocaust before, and knew that Hitler invaded Poland.  Hitler hated Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally and physically disabled people. At first he just wanted them to leave, but then something changed. He and other high ranking Nazis came up with the Final Solution meaning he wanted them all dead. I also knew that there was death and labor camps. People were forced to leave their homes and become separated from their families when they were taken to two different sides. One led to inevitable death and the others that were strong and healthy went to work.
• Thoughts About the Project on Day 1: My thoughts on the project on day one are that I will further enjoy the research and reading. I think this will help me better understand the Holocaust and what the people had to go through.
