In 1619, Virginia was an isolated British settlement on the Chesapeake Bay. It was sparsely populated by men trying to make the colony profitable for England. But the colonists were devastated by hunger, disease, and raids by Native Americans. So when the White Lion, a badly damaged Dutch slave ship arrived, carrying 20 kidnapped black Africans, the colonists bartered food and services for the human cargo. The Africans started working for the colonists. They would work 7 years of hard labor in exchange for land and freedom. But when colonies started to prosper, the colonists were reluctant to lose their labor. Since the Africans did not have citizenship, they were not subject to English common law. They were workers with no rights.

As Browning says, “At Lomazy following orders reinforced the natural tendency to conform to the behavior of one’s comrades. This was much easier to bear than the situation at Jozefow…” (Browning, chapter 9, page 87). This is where the change began to happen for the men of the 101st. Men who slipped away at Jozefow could not do the same at Lomazy and through this baptism by fire they grew more accustomed to the sights, sounds, and smells of these massacres.

When learning about factual information, it is necessary to learn through the utilization of a textbook. Whether it is in Science courses or History courses, it is essential for a student to gain knowledge through the understanding that a textbook provides. In HIST3, Kevin M. Schultz initiates an approach to learning about United States History in a chronological manner through 1877. While it effectively states the historic events that happened throughout time, it avoids going into specific detail. In Chapter 2 of Schultz HIST3, he states the events that occurred when the first Europeans came into contact with Native Americans.

The plot is one of the components of the story that gives it its realistic feel. The story follows the author’s experience during the Holocaust, from their town in Sighet to the Birkenau, Buna and finally in Buchenwald where they were liberated by the Americans. One would think that the story would only follow the events that happened through the camp, but the author is able to include the change that he experienced during his time at camp.

His thoughts about change culminate when he decided to [look… in the mirror on

What especially made these bombing so terrifying was the use of white phosphorous, willy pete, which burned at temperatures reaching around 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit and was usually used to melt enemy vehicles. Towns that were targeted were filled with civilians sleeping in their beds when the fight wave of bombers filled the skies with dozens of bombers. After the rumbling stopped and the bombing had ceased, survivors and emergency helpers would scramble to stop the fires and assist the injured. During this time the second wave would make their way over the city and release a volley of willy pete on the town, which was then in turn followed up by another high explosive bombing run to spread the white phosphorus even further. The towns would soon become extremely windy because of the heat from the white phosphorus which would only intensify the blaze even further. When the combination of extreme heat and wind gust reaching speeds above 150 mph mixed, it created vortexes of fire and melted the asphalt on the roads. The bunkers that families thought would protect them turned into ovens. Those that could free themselves from these underground death chambers would flee into the streets only to find themselves melting into the asphalt. The bombings were a tactic to induce fear and to break the spirit of the German people. The soviets also had their own ways to strike fear in the heart

Itzhak Dugin was a survivor from Vilna. He remembers a cold winter day in January 1942. One of his jobs was to bury bodies that were buried in rows covered in dirt. The ditches were funnel shaped and he had to lay them out like herrings, head to foot. He also had to dig up and burn the Jews of Vilna. Early in January 1944 they began digging up the bodies. When the last mass grave was opened he found his entire family. He recognized his mom, three sisters, and their children. They were buried four months, it was winter so they were well preserved. He recognized them by their faces and their clothing. The Nazis planned to have them dig up the graves starting with the oldest. The last graves were the newest and the first graves were from the first ghetto. The first grave had 24,000 bodies. The deeper you dug the flatter the bodies, each was like a flat slab. When you tried to grasp a body it crumbled, making it impossible to pick

Perhaps it is because Nossack's inability to make sense of the destruction around him. Yet he feels that he may be luckier than others, and others may be jealous of him. For surviving a bombing raid while other cities will face the same fate, with plenty of casualties. The material of the world that once was valued for worth now stood for the totality of human loss and suffering. Nossack credits that he does not indulge in his philosophical tendencies of human suffering, but instead writes in a quiet, detached written language. It appears that the destruction of Hamburg's everyday life world presented Nossack with the continuous struggle to comprehend what was and what now is. As Nossack writes, "how dreadfully heavy that weight was--so heavy

As Lance descended into the sewers, the metal bars that barely passed for a ladder did nothing to improve his mood. The rubber tread on the bottom of his leg kept catching awkwardly, causing him to jolt and nearly lose his grip. He jumped the last couple of rungs, landing on the cement platform with a dull thud that echoed around him. His leg popped in protest, and Lance reminded himself to be gentler on his prosthetics. He didn’t need them breaking on him.
