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.

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.
