=Introduction= ATTENTION ALL GERMAN CITIZENS! Are you tired of the world looking down on you for your country's past mistakes? Are you frustrated with the Germans' reputation in the Holocaust? Are you sick of people blaming you for the responsibility of the Holocaust? Are you sorry for not actively resisting Hitler's movement in the Holocaust? Well, here is your chance to give the world a different vantage point of the Holocaust! For the past seventy years, the world has talked about the Holocaust and the role of the Germans in it. The world is under the impression that every German was a Nazi and that they all supported Hitler. You are tired of this undermining status and you are ready to reconcile, restore, and revive the reputations of unheard German citizens. It is up to you- members of an elite German Holocaust Remembrance Committee- to persuade the world that you inactively resisted Hitler's movement, and that you are truly sorry for not providing aid to the Holocaust victims.

=Task= The President of Germany has just asked YOU- members of an elite German Holocaust Remembrance Committee- to commemorate the Holocaust by giving an interview that will be internationally televised! The interview will take place in Berlin and the President has given you a tight deadline for your interview to be filmed on an iMovie presented in the news. This is your chance to show Holocaust survivors and the world that you inactively resisted Hitler's movement and you were afraid to provide aid to the Holocaust victims. Be sure to include your reasons and fears while providing Holocaust ideologies, events, and punishments to back up your reasoning. Show the world that there is a completely different perspective of the Holocaust! This is your chance to tell your story and to warn the whole entire world how to avoid another horrific tragedy like the Holocaust.

=Conclusion= Having completed this task, you now realize that every German was not a Nazi and that there were people who wanted to provide aid to the Holocaust victims. You have realized that due to events and fears of the Holocaust, that people were frightened to actively resist Hitler's movement. You have also come to the scary conclusion of humanity's questionable morals. How can the world prevent another horrific tragedy like the Holocaust? Is it fair for the world to place blame on German citizens during the Holocaust when in actuality, many other nations did not stand up for Holocaust victims? And finally, what is our world going to come to if humanity and good people stand back and do nothing for those of us in need?
