Dionne Igbanugo and I have just won third place in the State of New Jersey in a Health Occupations Students of America compeition for Carrear Health Display. Which mean we are qualified to compete nationally in Lake Buena Vista, Fl, against other states.

Due to budget cuts, the school no longer pays for us to attend, so we need to fundraise the money. Does anyone have any fundraising ideas?

Ugochi and I ... successful competitors.

My Essential Question

"Why did people/governments/countries did not get involved in the overthrowing Hitler?"

Does anyone have an opinion? It may include this in my powerpoint.

Other countries did not want to end up like Austria...

• According to http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/germany-annexes-austria:

They simply marched in with no resistance and annexed it to Germany.

On March 12, 1938, German troops march into Austria to annex the German-speaking nation for the Third Reich.

In early 1938, Austrian Nazis conspired for the second time in four years to seize the Austrian government by force and unite their nation with Nazi Germany. Austrian Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg, learning of the conspiracy, met with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in the hopes of reasserting his country's independence but was instead bullied into naming several top Austrian Nazis to his cabinet. On March 9, Schuschnigg called a national vote to resolve the question of Anschluss, or "annexation," once and for all. Before the plebiscite could take place, however, Schuschnigg gave in to pressure from Hitler and resigned on March 11. In his resignation address, under coercion from the Nazis, he pleaded with Austrian forces not to resist a German "advance" into the country.

The next day, March 12, Hitler accompanied German troops into Austria, where enthusiastic crowds met them. Hitler appointed a new Nazi government, and on March 13 the Anschluss was proclaimed. Austria existed as a federal state of Germany until the end of World War II, when the Allied powers declared the Anschluss void and reestablished an independent Austria. Schuschnigg, who had been imprisoned soon after resigning, was released in 1945.

I really wanted to make a video, or at least incorporate some type of video into my project. i also would like to display my information using Microsoft's Power Point program

Im having second thoughts about whether I should change my essential question to comparing Rowanda vs Holocaust, because I would be more passionate about researching information.

Today I researched information on Hitler's rise to power:

http://www2.dsu.nodak.edu/users/dmeier/Holocaust/hitler.html

Hitler's rise was sudden.

• He was part of the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, commonly known as the Nazi Party

• This political party was formed and developed during the post-World War I era.

• The group was anti-Marxist, and opposed the democratic post-war government of the Wiemar Republic and the Treaty of Versailles

• Advocate of extreme nationalism and Pan-Germanism as well as virulent anti-semitism

• The Enabling Act — when used ruthlessly and with authority — virtually assured that Hitler could thereafter constitutionally exercise dictatorial power without legal objection.

• Hitler rose to a place of prominence in the early years of the party.

• Being one of the best speakers of the party, he told the other members of the party to either make him leader of the party, or, he would never return.

• He was aided in part by his willingness to use violence in advancing his political objectives and to recruit party members who were willing to do the same

• In the mid-1920s, the party engaged in electoral battles in which Hitler participated as a speaker and organizer,[3] as well as in street battles and violence between the Rotfrontkämpferbund and the Nazi's Sturmabteilung (SA).

• Through the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Nazis gathered enough electoral support to become the largest political party in the Reichstag, and Hitler's blend of political acuity, deceptiveness and cunning converted the party's non-majority but plurality status into effective governing power in the ailing Weimar Republic of 1933.

• Once in power, the Nazis created a mythology surrounding the rise to power, and they described the period that roughly corresponds to the scope of this article as either the Kampfzeit (the time of struggle) or the Kampfjahre (years of struggle)

My opinion based on the evidence provided:

In Germany, Hitler's rise was pretty sudden. He gave the people hope of building the country up again. I think by the time people realized what Hitler was doing it was too late to stop him. He had too much power; the people didn't even realize what he was planing. It was far too dangerous to live in german and publicly go against him. Many people did what they could by hidding families and/or try to smuggle them out of the country. Most European countries that were not support of Hitler and his plan. Quickly build up large armies to protect them because they too were in danger of Hitler’s army. There numbers were far too great and the countries did not have sufficient supplies.
