“Dear Editors of The Grapevine,
This is a story I have written for the Grapevine. Don’t bother looking for my name because you won’t find it. I don’t want my friends or other kids to know I wrote this.”
The Wave, A Wave Member, Page 86
This relates to the Holocaust because they sent threatening letters to the Jews. I thought that the letter did not have any meaning it didn’t say anything that should worry them except the title
And then they acted upon the horrible letters. In this story the Wave has done a similar things with threatening the school newspaper the Grapevine. But the Wave weren’t writing the letters to the Jewish students. They were trying to get the Grapevine away from their “Experiment” but what would they have done. I think it was better for the wave group to get the Grapevine away because then they could get more members. It is similar to the Holocaust because they used propaganda and sent letters to the upstanders..
Now Long time waiting but two new songs to connect to this passage from The Wave!! The songs are “Mr Crowley” by Ozzy Osbourn Black and “Revolution” by Pennywise Red .
Mr Crowley
Mr. Crowley, what went wrong in your head
I think that this part is like Hitler when he took over multiple countries.
Mr Crowley
Standing with their backs to the wall
This reminds me of the death camps when they would line the prisoners up and shoot them to death.
Revolution
As we walk through these troubled times We struggle through this so called life Revolution
This part is saying how hard it was for the people in WW2. Waiting for something to change this makes me think that the Jews are waiting for the war to end good.
Revolution
And now all hope is gone The pain has lingered far to long Black is a sky filled with rage It´s saying that the Jewish people think that they are angry at them.
Revolution
It's been too Long We're holding on We'll right this wrong And fight on We will remember today this part is like through the whole Holocaust for the Jewish people.

“It is true that without his generals Hitler could not have waged the wars...If the generals do not do their job, there is no war. But one must add: if the infantrymen does not, if his rifle does not fire...there is no war. Is therefore, the soldier, the gunsmith...guilty of complicity in the war? Does Henry Ford share in the responsibility for the thousands of accidents which his cars cause every year?” - General Alfred Jodl’s attorney. Respond to Jodl’s attorney using your opinion and Social Studies examples.
I think that it is true that without his generals Hitler could not wage war. The wars could not have happened because you need people to lead your soldiers. The soldiers could not be blamed for the war because they were threatened. And they have families to feed . I think that Henry Ford is not responsible. He is not responsible because he invented a car a long time ago. Some examples could be shown late in WW2 when the Nazis were helping Jews As seen in ¨the pianist¨ “But as World War II approached, Bingham made a series of life-altering choices. By sheltering Feuchtwanger in his private villa, Bingham violated both French law and U.S. policy. To draw attention to hunger and disease in the French camps, he challenged indifference and anti-Semitism among his State Department superiors. In speeding up visa and travel documents at the Marseille consulate, he disobeyed orders from Washington. In all, an estimated 2,500 refugees were able to flee to safety because of Bingham's help. Some of his beneficiaries were famous—Marc Chagall, Hannah Arendt, Max Ernst—but most were not. “ Bingham was a Nazi. In conclusion Hitler could not do war without his soldiers.

I agree that without his generals & his army, Hitler could not have waged war. That, of course, goes for any waging of war. But there are a couple of points to be made regarding Hitler's generals. Many of them never wanted to invade Poland, and most of the were against starting the war with the USSR. Some of them tried to stop Hitler, and were killed themselves (including the most important general at the time, Erwin Rommel). Jodl was put to death because of the atrocities committed by his soldiers under his command. Many Japanese generals were executed for the same reason.
