HW 16

A.
  • Total war: large scale war and destruction, often targeting civilians as well as military forces
  • Forced labor: People from German-occupied parts of Europe were used by the Germans for slave labor.
  • Concentration camp: "Enemies of the state" in Germany were forced to live in terrible conditions in concentration camps.
  • "The final solution": the Nazis' decision to exterminate all the Jews in Europe
  • Ghettoes: sections of towns in which Jews were forced to live
  • Extermination camps: Camps designed for the mass murder of Jews
  • Partisans: armed resistance groups that fought against the Axis
  • Guerrilla warfare: methods used by resistance groups to make Axis occupation difficult
B.
  1. Chinese families in Sunkiang would have been forced to leave their homes because of the Japanese invasion.
  2. French families would have had to flee from the Germans or live under their rule. They also had the option of participating in the Resistance.
  3. A soviet aircraft factory worker would have been required to do much more work after the start of the war, building aircraft and bombs.
  4. A Jewish person in Germany would have been put in a concentration camp by the Nazis and probably would have been killed as a part of the "final solution."
  5. The son of a captured Yugoslav partisan would have likely been taken from his home and placed in a labor camp or children's camp.
