After the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940, the Dutch people were immediately faced
with the question of choice: how to respond to
the Nazi occupation. Tens of thousands of Dutch
people followed Hitler, and millions more looked
the other way. Eventually, a resistance movement
began to grow.
The Nazis needed Dutch collaborators to carry
out their fascist decrees. What would have
influenced someone to become a collaborator?
What factors would have encouraged someone
to join the resistance? Do you think these factors
were based on personal characteristics or
political beliefs? What was the price of resistance
during the war? What was the price of
collaboration?

i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

i do not think they will sing to me

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.
