History 12: Wednesday, 28 March

Today we finished our discussion of the Night of the Long Knives.  We also debriefed Ex #8-10.  Our discussion of the treatment of Jewish people in Nazi Germany led to a discussion of racism in general and racism in Canada specifically (today and in our past) as well as some consideration of immigration issues.  We can see in this topic how relevant history can be to our contemporary lives.  Tomorrow we'll discuss DeMarco Chapter 7 and have a PPT discussion to compare and contrast the economic policies of the dictators we've studied to date.
