Pretend you are a resistance reporter (you oppose the Nazis) secretly broadcasting from Berlin in the 1940s. Select at least 10 of the terms in the word bank below and use them to write a newscast letter for your American audience. Assume that many people may still not fully understand what many of these words signify. Weave your explanations into your account of events inside Germany-remember, the outside world had little knowledge of what was actually happening until later on. Pretend you are trying to alert them to what is happening and why they should help. Your audience is the American public. Highlight the terms in your letter so you can be sure you used at least 10! Word Bank:

• genocide • ghetto• resistance • Hitler • Aryan • Holocaust• anti-Semitism • Kristallnacht • Nazi
• Gestapo • crematorium • Auschwitz• Kapo• pogroms • swastika

You can start your letter as such:

Dear Americans,

This is writing from a secret location inside Berlin, Germany, on June 1st, 1941. I have only a few moments to alert you to the horrors happening-the Gestapo are near, and I cannot risk getting caught. Please read closely and spread this news to the outside world. We need help before it is too late
