Throughout the afternoon, 300 bombers, escorted by 600 fighters, dropped 300 tons of bombs on the docks downstream from Tower Bridge.

German-occupied Europe; the uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto. On the eve of Passover, around 750 Jewish resistance fighters stood up to the Nazi soldiers in refusal of mass deportation, an attempt to save themselves from what was thought to be the inevitable. The heavily-armed and well-trained German troops eventually defeated the resistance; this event demonstrated the dedication of the Jewish fighters to attempt to save the others during a time of life or death. The Jews initiated this uprising because it

rules that the Soviet Army followed “In the Red Army it takes a very brave man to be a coward” (Zhukov). The exhausted Soviet army was pushed back to the outskirts of Stalingrad by August 23. The Germans, and Axis Powers fought the Soviets, street for street, house for house, and room for room. The Germans called this rat warfare, meaning that a strategic stronghold changed sides so many times people could not count the number of changes.

history. This means that breed-specific legislation is often promulgated on the basis of breed reputation. In recent years it is the pit bull which has come under the scrutiny of legislative bodies, as their reputation becomes more and more sullied by street crime. To say “pit bull,” however, is a vague reference to several pit bull types, which are considered separate breeds by registries like the American Kennel Club (AKC). Each type has a slightly different breeding history; many began with the breeding

Zusak tried to relate the experiences of his parents growing up during World War II for an adult audience. 2.

Of this need to change, Oscar Award winner Paul Newman stated, “There is this acceleration of change, and we’re much more affected by that. People want to be entertained. They don’t want to be bombarded by emotions or
in the ruins of the ghetto continued to attack the German troops. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was the biggest, symbolically, most significant Jewish rebellion. This inspired many other ghetto uprisings. The ghettos did in fact play a role in World War II and the Holocaust. The Jewish people suffered in the ghettos with extremely cramped quarters, hunger, and no sanitation, which led to hundreds of thousands of Jews dying of disease and hunger. The people that experienced living in the ghettos or for
