WWII Gas Mask
The masks were made of black rubber, which was very hot and smelly. It was difficult to breathe when wearing a gas mask. When you breathed in the air was sucked through the filter to take out the gas. When you breathed out the whole mask was pushed away from your face to let the air out.The smell of the rubber and disinfectant made some people feel sick. Gas had been used a great deal in the First World War and many soldiers had died or been injured in gas attacks. Mustard gas was the most deadly of all the poisonous chemicals used during World War I. It was almost odourless (could not be smelt easily) and took 12 hours to take effect. It was so powerful that only small amounts needed to be added to weapons like high explosive shells to have devastating effects.

4.On that Sunday, that your family was awakened at 5 a.m. by the Gestapo what were you feeling ?

Letter to the Principal
Dear Dr. Rhinehart,
I am writing to you to about my concern on whether history books used in school should be censored. As we all know history is a very important class. I believe that it is one of the most important because without it our generations and the next ones wouldnt know how we came to where we are now. In history we all learn about past events that have influenced on how the world is today. We learn about mistakes Empires made that lead to their downfall as well as the history certain people made, and all the wars the world have gone through. But the text books we get in classes seem to only tell us what we want to hear. We never hear the COMPLETE truth about all the horrendous things nations have gone through. Some topics that are not in ext books may be a really bad things to talk about, but it is better if wee know the truth than grow up believing that nothing ever went wrong. Because like any people have said the past may reoccur and if we dont know about those inhumane events we would not even know what to expect if that were ever to happen again, no matter what it is part of our history. In my opinion text books should not be censored or written with part of the truth of certain events, they should include all of the good and the bad times in the history of ALL the nations and not hide part of our own history , no matter how bad it may have been.
Sincerely
Paola Angarita
