As the Jews were the main targets of Nazi genocide, the victims of the killing centers were overwhelmingly Jewish. In the hundreds of forced-labor and concentration camps not equipped with gassing facilities, however, other individuals from a broad range of backgrounds could also be found. Prisoners were required to wear color-coded triangles on their jackets so that the guards and officers of the camps could easily identify each person's background and pit the different groups against each other. Political prisoners, such as Communists, Socialists, and trade unionists wore red triangles. Common criminals wore green. Roma (Gypsies) and others the Germans considered "asocial" or "shiftless" wore black triangles. Jehovah's Witnesses wore purple and homosexuals pink. Letters indicated nationality: for example, P stood for Polish, SU for Soviet Union, F for French.

Captured Soviet soldiers worked as forced laborers, and many of these prisoners of war died because they were executed or badly mistreated by the Germans. In all, over three million died at the hands of the Germans.

Twenty-three thousand German and Austrian Roma (Gypsies) were inmates of Auschwitz, and about 20,000 of these were killed there. Romani (Gypsy) men, women, and children were confined together in a separate camp. On the night of August 2, 1944, a large group of Roma was gassed in the destruction of the "Gypsy family camp." Nearly 3,000 Roma were murdered, including most of the women and children. Some of the men were sent to forced-labor camps in Germany where many died. Altogether, hundreds of thousands of Roma from all over German-occupied Europe were murdered in camps and by mobile killing squads.

Political prisoners, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals were sent to concentration camps as punishment. Members of these three groups were not targeted, as were Jews and Roma, for systematic murder. Nevertheless, many died in the camps from starvation, disease, exhaustion, and brutal treatment.

Which detail from The Narrative of The Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass best supports the inf
Andrews [41]

Answer:

One ex-slave who became very important in the abolitionist movement was Frederick Douglass. You will read about his life from his birth in approximately 1818 to the time when his first autobiography Opens in modal popup window was published (1845). By that time, Douglass had earned his freedom, worked for several years, and made an important speech to a white audience.

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was so well written that many people doubted whether the writer had really been a slave. And it was so successful that Douglass had to flee to England to avoid being caught by slave hunters who were chasing him in the North. Eventually, several British friends paid Douglass's former master for Douglass's freedom, and Douglass returned to the United States as a legally free man.

In 1860, Douglass worked for the presidential campaign of Abraham Lincoln. During the Civil War that soon followed, Douglass recruited Union soldiers, including black soldiers, for two regiments in Massachusetts.

Douglass went on to publish two updates to his autobiography later in life—one in 1855 (still pre-Civil War) and another in 1881. He published a newspaper, gave lectures, and spoke out for human rights around the world.

Look at the time line to get an idea of where Frederick Douglass belongs in a historical context. Be sure to click the area between 1845 and 1865 for details about Douglass's role in the years leading up to, and including, the Civil War.

20 concepts of journalism
Naddik [55]
1. Always deliver what you promise. 2. Each pronoun should agree with their antecedent. 3. Between you and I, case is important. 4. Verbs have to agree with their subjects. 5. Don't be a person whom people realize confuses "who" and "whom." 6. Never use no double negatives. 7. A writer should not shift their point of view. 8. When writing, participle must not be dangled. Don't do it even if it's hard not to. 9. Join clauses good, like a conjunction should. 10. Don't write run-on sentences, you need to punctuate them properly. 11. About sentence fragments. Don't. Unless it's for effect. 12. In letter themes and reports use commas to separate items in a series as well as phrases and clauses when required. 13. Don't, use commas, that aren't necessary. 14. Its important to use apostriphe's in the right place's. 15. Don't abbrev. unless approved by the Associated Press Stylebook. 16. Check to see you any words out. 17. Try to never split infinitives. 18. Avoid using a preposition to end a sentence with. That's a practice up with which some readers will not put. 19. Parallel structure will help you in writing more effective sentences to express yourself more gracefully and its pleasing to your editor. 20. In my own personal opinion I think that an author when he is writing should not get into the habit of making use of too many unnecessary words that he does not really need to use. 21. Last but not least, lay off the cliches and mixed metaphors. They might kindle a flood if anger in your editor. Yes, that's twenty one, but they all needed to be listed to properly answer this question. The errors in the sentences are all purposeful and intended. I do hope this helped you. :)
