9 Word association game Quick fire exchange of related words about Nazi Germany… … but you cannot say “Nazi” or “Hitler” “Nazi”, “Hitler”, an unrelated word, or an overly long pause and you lose…

10 Size of opposition Between 1933-1945 the Nazis arrested 500,000 Germans for active resistance / opposition We don’t know exact figures but probably over 100,000 were killed KEY POINT: Even in late 1930s not all Germans supported Hitler!!

11 When the Nazis came for the Communists I was silent. I was not a Communist. When the Nazis came for the Social Democrats [Socialists] I was silent. I was not a Social Democrat. When the Nazis came for the Trade Unionists I was silent. I was not a Trade Unionist. When the Nazis came for the Jews I was silent. I wasn’t a Jew. When the Nazis came for me there was no one left to protest. – Martin Niemoller
