PART TWO: Research Project Topics – Research
I can hear you now – “Research project? What research project?” Beginning next week you will be conducting research into the World War II-related topic of your choice. Today you were handed a list of the available topics. Your job is to choose SEVEN of the topics that you think you might be interested in, simply by reading their names. Then, using the links provided for you on your handout, you are to find three facts about each of the seven that you selected. What kind of facts, you wonder? How about the basics: Who, What, When/Where…?
Once you’ve collected your facts and written them on the back of your handout, circle your absolute favorite and be prepared to turn it in to me on Monday. Topics are first come, first served, and no two people may have the same topic.
Please email me over the weekend if you have any questions, or post them in a comment!

1. Augusta looked like a delightful person, full of life and energy. Seems to me that she was the life of the party and everyone liked her. Her smile is so beautiful i’m sure everyone was as in love with it as I am.
1. Augusta’s family seemed to be happy and positive kind of like Anne’s. Her father seemed to be hard working and devoted to his job ,but then protective over his family.
2.Vienna, Austria
3.May 29,1934
4.She was hide in a convent on the countryside without her parents by her side. Then later, she was hid with christian friends a couple of streets away from her parents. Augusta was sent back to a convent on a train alone. When Augusta was nine she had her tonsils removed. Her tonsils were removed without anesthesia. When Augusta was eleven she was walking alone down a street she saw soldiers approaching she nearly fainted but then she realized they were american. Just before her sixth birthday they invanded Belgium. Augusta and her mother remained in convent until liberation. Her family tried to flee to France ,but were turned back at the border. When Augusta was sent back to a convent camp she inward, however, and did not make friends with them.
5. No, she was captured.
6.Yes, she stayed in convent until liberation then was freed by american soldiers.
3. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I would have gone crazy in a time like this. I hate the fact that you are being hated against because of your religion and so were many others. But, don’t give up hang in there if you just have faith you will get out of it all fine. You may have some holes here and there but you will make it. If I could help I would tell the others to stop hating and make a huge statement like Martin Luther King did. We would all make it through it and not as many would have died because there wouldn’t have been as much madness. I know that for sure because most people would not and will not let that happen and since were living in a society like that today it just wouldn’t happen as bad as it did back then. No, I didn’t live in that time but if I did I would love to live and tell my story just like Anne Frank did.
