    Which came first? Concentration Camps or Ghettos

    Camps for political prisoners were set up just after the Nazis came to power. I dont know whether you would call these concetration camps though...But yes if your definition of a concentration camp is a death camp such as Aushwitz/Birkenau then Ghettos came first. Either way the importnat thing...

Unfortunately there's no easy way around it...Try summarising different topics with friends and sharing maybe? thats what I did...But then again I was lucky enough to do modern in yr 10 and 11 so I didnt have any other hsc subjects to worry about. The only way you...

    Role and impact of women in Nazi Germany

    This is in fact a huge section, the book by Mason (I dont know what its called though, but its on Nazi Germany) is a very good source. Basically it says that a woman's place in the Volksgemeinschaft was to be a housewife and look after the Children (the slogan "Children, Kitchen, Church" was...

    socialism/communism and the Nazi party

    They weren't really socialist in the term we know it today. Hitler's view was that as long as all companies and people worked for Germany, they didnt need regulation or control. You could argue that the beneifts for workers (such as the Strength through Joy and Beauty of Work initiatives)...

If there is any doubt as to whether a prisoner is a POW or not then they must go through a trial and determine this on a case...

    Flying Flag banned

    You cant take anything away form the Anzacs. The Turks were alongside the Germans, so an invasion to allow a better trade route to Russia was justified in that context. Besides, teh Anzacs went to fight for Britain, not Australia, and if you read into the storeis of the Anzacs you will see that...

    interpret results of m-morley

    Basically the null result meant that 1) the aether theory had to be modified or 2) the aether theory had to be discarded. As Xayma said it was orinigaly modified but those predictions were proved false and so Einstein (who actually beleived that there was an aether for a long time) came up...

    how well do markers know quotes?

    I dont think thats true. My teacher said the markers get split up. For example the peoplelwho do mark the indochina papers will be teachers who are currently teaching that topic/or who have taught that topic in the past. The quotes, you would be surprised that many markers do know all the...
