SWBAT make connections between history and literature by making inferences.
Agenda
Jumpstart: Martin Niemöller was a German pastor. He thought that reparations, democracy, and foreign influence had damaged Germany. He felt that Germany need a strong leader to get the country through difficult times and supported Adolph Hitler. As German Christian ideology became more and more extreme, Niemöller challenged the blasphemous decisions that were being made. The Gestapo arrested him many times and eventually he was sent to the concentration camp Sachsenhausen where he stayed for seven years. In 1963, he acknowledged and expressed regret for his own anti-semitic attitudes. He was a pacifist during the last years of his life, until he died in 1984. Niemöller wrote the poem “First they came for. . .” which has been seen in many variations throughout the years. Read the version from the USHMM and reflect on what the poem means. Consider the context of Niemöller ’s life and what you learned during Tuesday’s Gallery Walk.
