    9: Scroll all the way down and click on Children during the Holocaust. Look at the first picture and read the caption. How do you feel about this? That their all by themselves and makes me question how are they going to survive without parents
    10: Overall, what do you think about the Holocaust? Explain how you think that you could feel if you were one of the Jew? I wouldn’t give up my rights like that and fall, even if it means that I have to hide under floorboards or live in abandoned houses I don’t care cause I would keep fighting until I got the same right s as the Germans.

    The part that you have to find the definition is really helpful I would usually skip it and guess it as I got deeper into the writing, but when I found out what it meant I understood it better and I could found out the answers easier. The questions were to easy and i thought that you should have made the questions harder and made me use my background knowledge about the Holocaust, felt too easy and i really didn't search for the answer and there wasn't a variety of questions,but overall it was great and I learnt new vocabulary.
