“I told my dad I wasn’t going to school anymore. He said: Why, you just come on and go work with me. I went in the mines, and I

went to work. From ’31 to about the last of ’32…We lived eight miles from the mine, and we had to ride it horseback…Many times I’d have to git off and hammer his feet out of the stirrups. They’d be froze in the stirrups…We got up at five in the mornin’, start at six. We got out at ten that night. We’d work about six hours a day, seventeen hours.” –Buddy Blankenship, West Virginia miner Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression 1.

Answer: I think the main idea is to show what struggles families faced during the Great Depression. Also, to especially show the struggled children had to face working for their families.

Explanation: Buddy Blankenship starts the paragraph by saying "I told my dad I wasn't going to school anymore". This shows that the author was a child when he started working in the mines with his father. He goes into detail on the struggle he faced, ie, "We got up at 5 in the mornin'" and "We'd work about six hours a day, seventeen hours". This kind of work is grueling and awful for a child.

What did hitler think could be done to stop handicapped children from being born?
maria [59]
Hitler said that during war, it is the best time to get rid of the ill that cannot be cured. Hitler only considered so many religions and races to be up to his level, and if you weren't, you were killed. He thought that the handicapped were not, so he started the 'euthanasia program', which stated for all ill people that cannot be cured, to be killed. Handicapped newborns and children were given an injection that killed them, or were either starved to death.
