When the character of Konradin von Hohenfels is introduced, an immediate assumption that is made about him is that he is probably snobby. He is portrayed as happy, if not a bit distant from the rest of the boys in his age group, “What struck us was his grace and elegance, and slight trace of a smile.” (1) However, he is later described as always extremely polite, and does not act haughty at all, “But he never gave the smallest impression of snobbery. Unlike us, he was always extremely polite, even holding the door when someone wanted to leave.” (3) This tells the reader that he is eager to make a good impression for himself, that was separate from the name of his noble family. Nevertheless, Konradin is seen as distant, with many of the boys being afraid of him (3),
On Anne Frank’s 13th birthday, she received a journal and immediately fell in love with it. Despite her loving family, numerous companions, and a throng of admirers, Anne felt that she has no true friends. Thus, Anne wanted “the diary to be my friend,” and named it Kitty. Anne dived into her journal by providing a brief description of her life, including the discriminatory behavior that Jews faced in Amsterdam. A month later, the Frank family was shocked when they received a call – up notice from the German SS for Margot (Anne’s older sister). Due to the call – up, the Frank family packed hurriedly and left a false note that they would be in Belgium. In actuality, they hid in a disused laboratory in Otto Frank’s (Anne’s father) office. Otto’s coworkers (Miep and Bep) were aware of the situation and provided food, clothing, and other necessities. Due to the increase in searches for Jews, Mr. Kugler, one of Otto’s colleagues, installed a bookcase at the entrance of the secret annex.
"We could describe (Heinrich) Schliemann's excavations on the hill of Hissarlik and consider their results without speaking of Troy or even alluding to it," Georges Perrot wrote in 1891 in his Journal des Savants. "Even then, they would have added a whole new chapter to the history of civilization, the history of art" (qtd. in Duchêne 87). Heinrich Schliemann's life is the stuff fairy tales are made of. A poor, uneducated, and motherless boy rises through his hard work and parsimonious lifestyle to the heights of wealth (Burg 1,2). He travels the world and learns its languages ("Heinrich Schliemann"), takes a beautiful Greek bride, and together they unearth the treasures of Troy and the citadel of
Marketing analysis: Haefren Baum sells high quality home furniture, which is manufactured by German company, Wiegandt GmbH Cologne. The demand for high-end furniture is cyclical and influenced by consumer confidence and the overall economy. They have been incorporated since 1970, therefore they do have a reputation and brand image already built. They have been a customer of Wiegandt since 1968 and have maintained good relations so far. The German economy had a bust in 1993, which lead to a decline in furniture sales. This is evident in the sales dropping in 1993 to 1995 from $18,647 to $14,397. Much of the industry has to cut back prices to keep
Wilhelm Reich was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire on March 24th, 1897. His parents were farmers, and at a young age Reich developed a fascination with the life processes of plants and animals. His formal education at this time was provided by a private tutor.
Refusing to be influenced by anyone who could benefit by allowing vice to persist unchecked, Vollmer and his small police force initiated raids on opium dens and brothels. This would be his first attempt to not only rid a city of its unhealthy vices but to contend with political corruption.
Fritz Haber was a contested recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing a process using atmospheric nitrogen for ammonia synthesis, primarily due to his wartime efforts on behalf of Germany. The Haber Process was used by the Germans to make explosives during World War I after access to nitrates were cut off by Allied blockades (The Nobel Foundation, 2014). Additionally, Haber developed chemical weapons used against Allied forces. Later controversy was surely stirred by the fact that Haber developed the poisonous gas, Zyklon B, used at Auschwitz. In an ironic twist of fate, Haber was Jewish by birth (Manchester, 2002).
There are Three chemicals that make the bombs in WWII. One of the Chemicals are Tabun. Nazis forced prisoners to make tubun. Tabun is a chemical that messes with the nerve system. This chemical is also used stun grenades. The chemical was supposed to be a pesticide. Tubun was also used in gas chambers. Another gas used in bombs and in gas chamber is Zyklon B. Chlorine gas was a popular gas in WWI and in WWII. The gas was greenish yellow. It irritates the ears, lungs, nose, and throat. This gas kills its enemies by asphyxiation. This means it cuts off the air flow and chokes them.
One of the new weapons used in WWI was poison gas. Poison gas was first used by the french in 1914, they used them to fight against the germans. After the french the germans started to study it and we the first to use it in a big scale. They used chlorine gas caused irritation and aggressive sneezing. There are many types of poisonous gas like chlorine gas, phosgene (causes violent coughing, choking and eventually death), and Mustard gas (nearly odorless chemical that causes internal and external blisters for hours). The total amount of casualties for poison gases are 1,240,853 people and total deaths are 91,198 people.
Because of Fritz Haber this world is a better place. His discoveries helped feed Germany and had many good intentions despite the later events. In order to feed Germany Haber figured out how to make nitrogen out of the air in order to make the soil fertile for food growth. This new discovery helped increase the population and stopped the starvation in Germany. He later received the Nobel Peace Prize for his great accomplishments. His discoveries later led to terrible things done in the war, such as gas and bombs used to kill others. The gas he used to grow food was used to create a “chlorine wall” to kill all soldiers in the trenches. Haber was very proud of what he was able to do for his country, but his sense of nationalism overpowered his
The Holocaust was a very sad time for millions of people in Europe and U.S. The leader of the Holocaust was Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was in prison for trying to take over German Government and while he was in there he wrote a book. The book was called "Mein Kaumf", which described his struggle and how he felt the German Government should be ran. After Hitler got out from his short sentance in prison, many people had already read his book which created his power. Hitler felt that Jews were the main problem for all of Germanys struggles and down fall. In 1935 the Nuremberg laws were created. The Nuremberg laws pretty much stripped the Jews of there citizenship. In 1936 the Nuremberg laws slowed down because of the Olympic Games which were
This sort of tactic had never been used in war before this, it was a new type of fighting. This poison gas was so strong and effective that it could be used to kill thousands of men in a matter of moments by ripping the air from their lungs and rapidly giving off a burning sensation in the throat. Overall the gas caused pain and many dead soldiers due to this. The first poison gas attack was suggested by the inventor Fritz Haber and was used throughout the duration of the war. Fritz Haber was a nobel prize winning scientist that discovered that “the process to make food is the same process to make explosives because the thing you put in the ground to grow more food is the same you can use to make a bomb. It takes such energy and pressure to separate, this trivalent bond is so strong that when it comes together that energy that is released can be used for life or death.”(cite) Haber immediately took control and traveled to the first place they set the gas
The Holocaust was one of the biggest genocide in the world. Over 17 million people died in it mostly Jews. There where more things to The Holocaust World War 2, Hitlers rise to power, and Anne Franks Diary. These events all happened at the same time reflecting on one another. The Holocaust was one of the worlds worst events in history.
Born in the Austrian town of Braunau on April 20, 1889, Adolf was the fourth child of Alois Schickelgruber and Klara Hitler. By 1900, young Adolf's talents as an artist surfaced. He did well enough in school to be eligible for either the university preparatory school or the technical/scientific Realschule. Because the technical/scientific Realschule had a course in drawing, Adolf enrolled in there. Adolf suffered from frequent lung infections, and he quit school at the age of 16, partially the result of ill health, but mainly the result of poor schoolwork. In 1906, Adolf traveled Vienna to seek his fortune, but he wasn't able to get admission to any prestigious art school. Hitler spent six years there, living on a
“Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, which was on Easter Sunday. Adolf was one of four children but none of the other children lived past two years of age. After Adolf was born, his mom, Klara, had two more kids who did live to be older than two. Adolf’s mom, Klara, had been traumatized by the death of her first three children, causing her to go crazy”. Klara always worried about Adolf dying. Adolf also had two half brothers and sisters from his dad Alois Hitler. Alois Hitler was never a big part of Adolf’s life and he struggled with that. Adolf had a dream of being an artist, but that did not match the government job his dad wanted him to have. People say that Hitler was a mean man because of his dad and his early life. His dad would get drunk and go crazy on his family, this is not a way to grow up, and it certainly impacted Hitler and history. “When his father died Hitler roamed the streets dreaming of his future as an artist. When Hitler was 18, he tried to enter the Academy of Fine Arts, but was rejected twice this caused him a lot of frustration.” When Hitler was 25 he was part of the military and served in World War I, this allowed him to release some of the anger and frustration. “While in the army Hitler was wounded twice, once by gas. This is said to be the reason he went a little crazy. While in the war this is when he started to hate the Jews. Hitler said, while in the war that the Jews were everywhere and he began to hate them more and more as he saw
