World War II: Home Front

Wartime mobilization pulled the American economy out of depression by employing millions and invigorating the nation as a whole. "The Good War," however, didn't provide the remedy for many social problems, and in some cases rapid population movement, concern over national security, and wartime rhetoric only exacerbated racial, ethnic, and class-based tensions at home.

The BBC Flew a Drone Over Auschwitz — And the Result Is Haunting.

The BBC Flew a Drone Over Auschwitz — And the Result Is Haunting

I went to a Professional Development workshop several years ago with a master history teacher, Eric Rothschild, who spent his career teaching at Scarsdale High School.

Simulations Can Change the Course of History . . . Classes

He was a brilliant workshop facilitator, and I learned more about teaching history in that workshop than in any other professional development experience I'd had up to that point in my career. He ran a workshop on teaching AP U.S. History, and it was unlike anything I had seen before. He introduced me to the idea of using simulations to teach the AP course, and also to the principle of fostering student ownership, with a strong foundation in historical research. After taking his workshop, I began to apply his approach to teaching AP European History and found it to be liberating and transformational as a teacher.

Among the many who tried — and failed — to escape Nazi persecution: Otto Frank and his family, which included wife, Edith, and his daughters, Margot and Anne. And while the story of the family's desperate attempts ending in futility may seem remarkable today, it's emblematic of what a number of other Jews fleeing German-occupied territories experienced, American University history professor Richard Breitman wrote in 2007 upon the discovery of documents chronicling the Franks' struggle to get U.S. visas.

When they came for me. Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) is the charity that promotes and supports Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD).

Holocaust Memorial Day Trust

HMD has taken place in the UK since 2001, with a UK event and over 2,400 local activities taking place on or around 27 January each year. The UK played a leading role in establishing HMD as an international day of commemoration in 2000, when 46 governments signed the Stockholm Declaration. The UK Government had responsibility for running HMD from 2001-2005, organised through the Home Office. In May 2005 HMDT was registered as a charity (charity no: 1109348) and the then Home Secretary David Blunkett appointed HMDT Trustees for the first time. The professional team started work in October 2005.

To date, we have overseen massive growth of HMD activities – over 2,400 activities took place across the UK for HMD 2014. World War Two Worksheets. Collections Search Search Results. Searching.

What Americans thought of Jewish refugees on the eve of World War II

Fewer than 5 percent of Americans surveyed at the time believed that the United States should raise its immigration quotas or encourage political refugees fleeing fascist states in Europe — the vast majority of whom were Jewish — to voyage across the Atlantic. Two-thirds of the respondents agreed with the proposition that "we should try to keep them out.
