Read the following excerpt. Sarah looked at her brother again, waiting for some sort of response. Surely, he had not resigned himself to this situation. Surely, he did not intend to sit in their little apartment and wait for the Germans to come and get them. She had arranged for a hiding spot with one of her friends. She would harbor them in the attic of her grandfather’s farmhouse as long as needed. The place was dilapidated but isolated and did not draw many visitors or attention. Sarah knew with all of her heart that going there was a better option for them. Rumors had been circulating for weeks. Jews were not being taken away to work. The long trains pulling out of the stations were going to Polish death camps. Whoever got into the cattle cars was never coming back. “Alright,” he whispered. His voice was small but resolute. “We will leave on Sunday morning. We will take the train to Emmen and then walk the rest of the way. If anyone stops us, we can make believe that we are out for a weekend retreat in the countryside. Choose the question that would be most effective at encouraging a good discussion. Where are Sarah and her brother when they are having this discussion? How would you feel if you were Sarah or her brother? Where are the Jews being taken by the Germans? What would you have done if you were Sarah’s brother?

How would you feel if you were Sarah or her brother? If I were Sarah or her brother than I would feel scared and lonely and terrified about the germens taking the jews to the polish death camp.

Where are the Jews being taken by the Germans? The long trains pulling out of the stations were going to Polish death camps.

What would you have done if you were Sarah’s brother? I would rather find a hiding spot then I would gather some food and tools and also some clothes with me .

Explanation:

Basically you have to think about the times of Anne Frank or the times where the jews were and think what you might have done there. That is all.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
