(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t19kvUiHvAE)

Lesson:

.After watching this video, we will have a discussion about the reasons why Truman dropped this
nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We will also discuss the injustices that were
presented to these Japanese people during this time such as the radiation from the bombs and
their skin diseases and cancers that were direct effects from the bombing. Students will
understand that this event was one of the major reasons as to why World War II had ended.

.After discussing this we will watch a video about the concentration camps such as Auschwitz,
Buna, Birkenau and Buchenwald and some things that the leaders of these camps performed on
the prisoners. We will then compare this lesson to a book that students are reading in English
class called “Night” which is a personal encounter of concentration camps of a man named Elie
Wiesel and look at an interview between him and Oprah
(http://www.oprah.com/omagazine/Oprah-Interviews-Elie-Wiesel)

built for soldiers after World War II that were struggling to find areas to live. This town still
