At the start of the period, the students began with their second warm-up question for Unit 8. Warm-Up Question #2 was: How long had the German-Soviet Pact been in effect before Hitler began planning to invade the Soviet Union? What does the fact that German armies were not prepared for the Russian winter (1941) indicate about Hitler's expectations for Operation Barbarossa? Explain.
Following the warm-up question, the instructor covered the background lecture and discussion concerning the Holocaust and the implementation of Hitler's Final Solution plan for Jewish populations. Over the next few days, students will be exposed to the horrors and tragedies of the Holocaust through documentaries and personal stories pertaining to the event (visuals and written accounts).

About Me
- Mr. Gull
- Before I became a high school history teacher, I spent 14 years in the corporate world where I specialized in Healthcare Administration. In addition, I spent 3 1/2 years participating in professional sports (Satellite Professional Tennis Tour and Professional Golf Mini-Tours). In 2005, I found I really loved working in the classroom, so I returned to graduate school to earn my Masters degree in Education. I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE...I LOVE WORKING WITH MY STUDENTS!
