NHD Topic & Formally

First seeing this post, I thought how perfect; I'm doing it after school curently with five friends over. I have the perfect opportunity to talk to them about my project. Talking to them about my project, they were saying everyone is about the Holocaust. My answer to this was that I have never previously learned about the Holocaust. I wasn't a child who came from St. James and learned in depth about it in the fifth grade. I then talked about how for my topic I have learned many different ways of torture and weapons they used against their prisoners such as the infamous bone crushing machine. As well as background information, the starters of the camp, and all about the orchestra they had. 

The Holocaust, a terrible time in our history, a variety of people a vast majority of Jewish people, were sent to many concentration camps and stripped of the rights. Janwoska, one of the active camps during this period, located on Janowska Street went through a series of changes to become the baddest camp around. They were able to use many of their resources, such as weapons and tools, as well as the structure of their camp to their benefit for harsh punishment of their prisoners. Because of this harsh punishment, the SS officers and officials of the camp were able to control the decisions and actions of their prisoners as well as the particularly crucial denial of human rights.

National History Day Project Topic

My topic for the National History Day project was narrowed down from Holocaust concentration camps to specifically a concentration camp called Janowska. As I began my research I realized that the tools, weapons, and resources that we amiable to this camp benefited the workers and SS officers of this site, to strip the rights of their prisoners. After fully narrowing down my topic specifically needing to be based on rights and responsibilities, my topic is how the resources used at the Janowska concentration camp benefit and effect how the prisoners rights where stripped from them.

Although my topic did not occur during the recent times of history, it is important to know information about. The Holocaust was a sad, terrible, time of our history that is worth having knowledge about. Concentration camps especially where the torture occurred, and great to know background information, Janowska serving as an example as one of these camps. This week, I am planning to go over my ten bibliographies in which I have already completed, but I need to go back and relook at my sources and my evaluation. Also, I plan to see if there are any new sources in which I can find more information as well.

Evil

Deven: Write about one interpretation of evil and then write about how you see this interpretation.

There are many different interpretations of evil; take the devil and villains for example. Some people may use these figures to base their own meaning of the word, and how it functions throughout their life. Evil in my perspective, is the opposite of good. The bad within people. Now this bad does not necessarily have to be the flaws or "bad traits" but the mistakes, and bad decisions that are made as well. 

Throughout my day, you see evil in many different ways. Evil can be considered stabbing a friend in the back by making their secrecy known to a group of people. All though this is not pure evil, this is the bad that a person does. Evil can be fixed by the good of someone as well. Just as though their is a devil, an angle exists as well. Each and everyone of us have evil within us, but its the angle side of us that over comes and makes us the good person we are.
