A Research Project By A. Lillian Swank
=== Whoooosh! You were just sent to 1935! A genie challenges you to find information about 1935 to 1945! You choose to find out about culinary arts, World War II, and education. You can't leave until your brain is chalk full of information, and dinner is in an hour! Can you make it to dinner without an explanation that will get you into therapy? LET'S GO LEARN ! === ===At first your terrified, you have no idea about 1935! You find snips of newspapers, diaries, letters, homework, and even government records! Ready to go? Okay first things first.. === =Culinary Arts= ===As said by an anyomous witness from The Pavilion Retirement Home in Austin, Texas, food during World War Two was scarce. "You'd get ration stamps, the boys in the service got the food. You'd go to the grocery store and use your stamps." Do we use these mysterious stamps today? Or have they gone extinct? The answer is yes, we still use food stamps today! Can you find places that use food stamps today? === =WORLD WAR II=

===﻿ World War II was a war that changed mankind. Envolving nearly every part of the world, there were two sides to it. There was the Axis Powers, which included Germany, Italy, and Japan. Then there was the Allie Powers, which included The United States of America, The Soviet Union, The United Kingdom (Great Britian and France. China also aided the Allie powers.  === ===  ===

Above is a picture of soldiers wading into shore on D-day. D-day was the name given to the first day of Operation Overlord- an action that took place during World War II. The operation the invasion German-held France by British, Canadian, and US troops. D-day was June 6, 1944. =The Holocaust, Hitler, and His Nazi= ===Something in World War Two has changed millions of lives today, what is it? The Holocaust, or Aldoph Hitler and his Nazi. Millions of Jewish people in Germany suffered during Hitlers rampage, though some lucky ones escaped. Jewish people were not allowed in certain places, bannners were hung every where, saying 'No Jews allowed.' Jewish people had to get a card with there name and finger prints like they were outlaws. Special laws were made against Jewish people, like that Jewish people couldn't marry non-Jewish people. Jewish people had to wear a six pointed star that read JUDE on the front of their clothes. Finally Jewish people were sent to concentration camps, where Jewish people were shot for no reason, whipped and beaten, and were almost starved. When the camp was too full, Jewish people were told to strdip from their filthy rags and were shoved into a death chamber. In the death chamber ( also known as a gas chamber) the room filled with fatal gas, and the prisoners met their death. Another option to do instead of gassing prisoners was to send them on a death march. Women, me, children, and babies were forced to walk through cold weather, with barely enough food every few days. They would drink snow as water, and every three or four days they would be given a piece of stale bread. Anyone who stumbled were shot, including children. People would have to walk around the dead bodies like it was nothing, and anyone who stopped were shot. These events were known as The Holocaust, and it is remebered today. === =Education=

=== Education during the 1930's and 40's was the same as today. Teachers taught children by grade, and different grades were in different rooms. Anomous witness says, " the teachers were strict, but they weren't 'strict strict'." Education was very similar to us. Kids would wake up and walk or bike to school, then at school they'd learn for 6 or more hours, and finally they'ed go home. === = ﻿Segregation = === During the 1930's and 40's segregation was still going on. African Americans were not referred to as African American, people made up nasty names and teased them. Lots of times they were called negro, black, or colored. There were "white" schools, and "black" schools, some towns were split up into to a side for African Americans, and white people. The African Americans were only allowed to go over to the white side if they had a job there. African Americans were angered because they did not like being descriminated against the color of there skin. ===
