King Arthur - Warrior, King King Arthur, the mythological figure associated with Camelot, may have been based on a 5th to 6th century British warrior who staved off invading Saxons. Synopsis King Arthur is a medieval, mythological figure who was the head of the kingdom Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table. It is not known if there was a real Arthur, though it is believed he may have been a Roman-affiliated military leader who successfully staved off a Saxon invasion during the 5th to 6th centuries. A Historical Mystery Little is known about the possible figure who inspired the story of King Arthur, a heroic monarch who has been a popular mythological and literary character for some time. In contrast, the 6th century bard Aneirin crafted the Welsh collection of poems The Gododdin in which a heroic Arthur is spoken of. There has also been another suggestion circulated that references to Arthur were actually a way of honoring via myth a Celtic bear deity with a similar name. Becomes Heroic Figure
Uppgift 4 | Pojken i randig pyjamas 1. Vad händer med Bruno och Shmuel i slutet av boken? Bruno och Shmuel kommer på en idé; att Shmuel ska hämta en extra pyjamas och en hatt för att dölja håret till Bruno, så att han kan gräva ett hål under stängslet och krypa under. 2. När Brunos pappa inser vad som har hänt med Bruno blir han helt knäckt. 3. Jag tror nog att författaren vill ge en varning, men också tror att det är så. 4. Jag tycker slutet var ordentligt bra. Jag kommer inte på något bättre slut just nu och jag känner att det inte finns något jag skulle vilja ändra 5. Jag tror att bokens budskap var att visa hur hemska tiderna har varit och att nazism inte borde tolereras på något sätt. 6. Genom att undvika att upprepa dessa misstag skulle vara att läsa historieböcker och kolla på olika tider om alla dessa krig och diktaturer och mer.
The Thrilling Tale of How Robert Smalls Seized a Confederate Ship and Sailed it to Freedom Darkness still blanketed the city of Charleston in the early hours of May 13, 1862, as a light breeze carried the briny scent of marshes across its quiet harbor. Only the occasional ringing of a ship’s bell competed with the sounds of waves lapping against the wooden wharf where a Confederate sidewheel steamer named the Planter was moored. The wharf stood a few miles from Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War had been fired just a little more than a year before. As thin wisps of smoke rose from the vessel’s smokestack high above the pilothouse, a 23-year-old enslaved man named Robert Smalls stood on the deck. Like so many enslaved people, Smalls was haunted by the idea that his family—his wife, Hannah; their four-year-old daughter, Elizabeth; and their infant son, Robert, Jr. The only way Smalls could ensure that his family would stay together was to escape slavery. Now Smalls’ chance at freedom had finally come. This relatively simple plan presented multiple dangers.
Uppgift 3 | Pojken i randig pyjamas 1. Bruno och Shmuel träffas. Beskriv hur författaren beskriver likheter och skillnader mellan de två vännerna. I boken frågar Bruno hur gammal Shmuel är. Då visar det sig att de är födda samma år, på samma dag. Skillnaderna beskrivs mycket mer tydlig., Till exempel som att Bruno har det bra, och lever i en familj med en nazistisk kommendant som pappa, medan Shmuel behandlas dåligt i ett koncentrationsläger. 2. Varken Bruno eller Shmuel har någon att vara med som en riktig kompis, och de båda har olika saker som de bekymrar sig över. 3. Han ser massor av judar, på väg till Auswitch. 4. Författaren kanske ville få läsaren att tro att det var ödet att de skulle träffas, samt att det skulle bli mer spännande. 5. Shmuel tycker att Auswich är ett hemskt ställe, trots att han inte ens vet att de blir ihjälgasade och skjutna. Bruno tycker Auswich verkar jätteroligt. 6. Jag tror att många behandlar andra så som de själva har blivit behandlade. 7.

Auschwitz-Birkenau Auschwitz-Birkenau var ett kombinerat koncentrations- och förintelseläger, som bestod av tre stora lägerkomplex samt ett fyrtiotal satellitläger. Det var det största och mest brutala nazityska lägret. Totalt deporterades omkring 1,3 miljoner människor till Auschwitz-Birkenau, varav 1,1 miljoner var judar. Omkring en miljon av judarna mördades i lägret. Auschwitz I I början av 1940 gav SS-chefen Heinrich Himmler order om att ett koncentrationsläger skulle upprättas vid staden Auschwitz (Oswiecim) i det ockuperade Polen. I slutet av 1941 inrättades en gaskammare, som främst användes för experiment på mindre grupper av fångar. Auschwitz II – Birkenau I oktober 1941 upprättades ytterligare ett lägerområde, tre kilometer från huvudlägret. Birkenau byggdes hela tiden ut och blev det största lägerområdet, med över 250 baracker och byggnader. Auschwitz III – Monowitz Det tredje lägerområdet var ett arbetsläger som låg i Monowitz, omkring en halvmil från huvudlägret. Sommaren 1942 byggde I.G.
Robert Smalls: A Civil War Hero’s Fight for Racial Equality One day, some years after the Civil War, a frail, elderly woman came to the house at 511 Prince Street in Beaufort, South Carolina, and as she had done innumerable times before, went in. She was Jane Bold McKee, and she had lived in this house with her husband, Henry McKee, for many years. But by this point in her life, Jane McKee was afflicted with dementia. She didn’t remember that before the war her husband had sold the property. The new owner was Robert Smalls, a Union war hero who had been born, on April 5, 1839, in a two-room shack behind the McKee house. A Debt Repaid Although they never freed him, the McKees had treated young Robert with extraordinary favor (it was rumored that Henry McKee was his father). It would be interesting to know if Jane McKee ever understood that the man who sometimes brought meals to her room was one of the most celebrated and influential men in all of South Carolina, and indeed, the nation.

Ellis Island Interactive Tour With Facts, Pictures, Video World War II and the Postwar Period The United States entered World War II in 1942. During the war, immigration decreased. There was fighting in Europe, transportation was interrupted, and the American consulates weren't open. Fewer than 10 percent of the immigration quotas from Europe were used from 1942 to 1945.In many ways, the country was still fearful of the influence of foreign-born people. Also because of the war, the Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed in 1943. I believe that the admission of these persons will add to the strength and energy of the Nation." Learn More
