1. how were the roma experiences during the holocaust similar to or different from the jewish experiences? write at least two paragraphs comparing/contrasting the two groups’ experiences.

The Roma and the Jewish populations shared similar faith in the hands of the Nazis. Both of these groups were systematically killed, or put on to work in factories where they died because of the terrible conditions in which they were put in. Also, a similarity was that the Nazis viewed both of these groups of people as not worthy of living, as filth, pests on the planet.

The difference was that the Jewish people were a group targeted because of its good financial situation in general. The Nazis wanted to get to their wealth, so the Jews were portrayed as the people that are taking and keeping all the money in the economy, thus resulting in all the other people being poor.

The Roma were poor people, most of which still had nomadic lifestyle. They were targeted because they were not seen as suitable for the German society, people that do not contribute, but also because they were much different in appearance than the Germans.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
