<u><em>Wiesel tells Oprah that</em></u>: <u>Before they were mass murdered, the Jews had been told they would be resettled in Eastern Europe</u>.

<u><em> The families arrived at Auschwitz with their most precious belongings stored in suitcases</em></u>. On the outside of each case, the unsuspecting owners wrote their names and dates of birth believing that their things would be returned.

<u><em>But nothing is further from reality</em></u>, because the systematic process of determining who would live and who would die was known as "<u>selection</u>". The SS officers briefly evaluated each arrival.

<u><em>Those considered capable of forced labor</em></u>, such as 15-year-old Elie Wiesel and her father, entered the labor camp. <u>All the others were sent immediately and unknowingly on the way to the four gas chambers of Auschwitz</u>.

<u><em>The people selected to die were told that they were receiving showers, and then they were sent to the cameras by the thousands</em></u>. Bins of the deadly chemical Zyklon B were thrown in. As the toxic granules mixed with the air, cyanide gas was released. Death took about 15 minutes to arrive and it felt like suffocation.

<em><u>The dreadful task of burning the corpses</u></em> in underground furnaces was left to the Jewish prisoners. Forced into this horrible work, they temporarily evaded their own death.

Describe the significance of the Tanzimat reforms, the constitutional movement, and the revolution of 1908-9 to late Ottoman his
Sholpan [36]

The Tanzimat Reforms was the second attempt in the nineteenth century to modernize the government, military, trade, law and society in the Ottoman Empire. The overall goal of these reforms was to have the country catch up with the development reached by European countries in the last couple of centuries. However, the <em>ulema</em>, or religious establishment of the Ottoman Empire objected top these reforms on the basis of their 'infidel' origin.

Even though the Tanzimat reforms were welcomed by the Ottoman society, further political changes were required, such as the the issuing of a constitution and the creation of a parliament to share the political power with the monarchy. The sultan felt the reforms were going too fast and too far, while different groups within the Ottoman society, such as the Young Turks, felt that more was needed and quickly.

As more and more politicians opposing the monarchy became members of the parliament, constituting an effective political opposition counterbalancing the sultan's authority, the sultan ordered its suspension in 1908 leading to the Young Turk Revolution. The next year, the parliament was restored and the basis for the abolition of the monarchy was laid down as local government administrations, which had effectively rejected reforms to a great extent, were mostly replaced by reformist administrations.

How did the heritage foundation become more than just another Washington “think tank”
liberstina [14]
The result, called Mandate for Leadership, epitomized the intellectual ambition of the then-rising conservative movement. Its 20 volumes, totaling more than 3,000 pages, included such proposals as income-tax cuts, inner-city “enterprise zones,” a presidential line-item veto, and a new Air Force bomber.

Despite the publication's academic prose and mind-boggling level of detail, it caused a sensation. A condensed version -- still more than 1,000 pages -- became a paperback bestseller in Washington. The newly elected Ronald Reagan passed out copies at his first Cabinet meeting, and it quickly became his administration’s blueprint. By the end of Reagan’s first year in office, 60 percent of the Mandate’s 2,000 ideas were being implemented, and the Republican Party’s status as a hotbed of intellectual energy was ratified. It was a Democrat, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who would declare in 1981, “Of a sudden, the GOP has become a party of ideas.”
