I went through a PowerPoint presentation today on "The Techniques of Dictatorship" which I will be sending to you this afternoon. Please print it off and add it your notes. I will also be sending you a reading on the White Rose student group, so please make sure that you read it. We also watched a 10 minute excerpt from the Nazi propaganda film "Triumph of the Will". Here is a link to Leni Riefenstahl's (the director of "Triumph of the Will") obituary from the Guardian. Please remember that your Chapter 5 Test is on Monday, please see the study guide here. Also, on Tuesday (November 2nd) you will have a matching quiz on Nazi Germany, please see the study guide here.

I talked a little bit about the end of WWII in Europe, and how after the failure of Operation Barbarossa (the Nazi invasion of the USSR), the success of the Allied invasion of Italy and the D-Day invasion that it was clear that the end of the war was near for the Nazis in WWII. We watched an excerpt from the film "Saving Private Ryan" as well today. Next week we will be looking at the Holocaust and other genocides in the 20th century and 21st century. It might be a good idea to read appropriate pages in your textbook in Chapter 7.

We continued looking at the consequences of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Ultimately, this attack will be used as pretext for the removal of Japanese-Americans from the west coast of the United States as well as the removal of Japanese-Canadians from British Columbia. We looked at the case study of the internment of Japanese-Canadians and rise of nationalism in Canada in WWII that led to the suspension of civil rights of this visible minority group. We watched a video called "Tides of War" and completed a worksheet to go along with it. I have also sent you a PowerPoint presentation that provides additional information on the internment of Japanese-Canadians, so please check your e-mail inbox when you have a chance. It is highly recommended that you print this presentation off and add it to your notes. You should also check out the following link on the interment as well: CBC Archives: From Relocation to Redress. Please remember that you have your Chapter 5-6 Test on Wednesday, please see the study guide here.
