TRANSCRIPT

Adolf HitlerHigh School Division

Our website is about Adolf Hitler, the terrible, dreadful, and horrific leader of Nazi Germany. We chose him because we wanted to show how he was a leader. Even if he was a bad leader, he did leave a big part of himself on our society. First, we needed to find sources to show how he was a leader. We quickly thought about his speeches and how important they were. We needed to add some of them into our website. So, we made a Speeches section quoting and explaining some of his speeches. These were like his plans for what he is going to do later in the war. Second, we needed to find ways he was a leader. This part was more of a biography of his life. It also talks about his positions in the German government. It talks about how the Nazi system worked. Finally, we needed to find ways he left an imprint on the world. One huge event he caused was the Holocaust. Most people know about this because of how horrible it was. This made hatred towards Jews stronger during this time and even after the war. We found websites that summarized events like the "Night of the Broken Glass." This also included his charisma. This was how he acted. During his speeches and rallies, he was very confident and a strong speaker overall.

We knew a lot about Adolf Hitler already, but we learned more about the events and problems formed before, during, and after the Nazi era. We now know how he rose to power, what he was like, and why he is so important.
