Answer:

To create fear among people and create obedient subjects who will blindly follow the regime

Explanation:

Secret police organizations are characteristic of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. They protect the political power of a dictator or regime, and often operate outside the law to repress dissidents and weaken political opposition, frequently using violence.The secret police's role is to keep the totalitarian state totalitarian. (An example being the Gestapo) In certain dictatorships, you see secret police maintaining the state by identifying threats to the state and getting rid of them. They're "secret" because they often carry out illegal tasks like assassination, exile, or torture.Secret police is one of the most important levers of totalitarian regimes. The basic task of the secret police is to protect the absolutist rule of the dictator, and it does so in a variety of violent ways. This, of course, involves acts that are not in accordance with the law for the elimination of political opponents, and even those who are suspected of being against the regime. This creates fear among people and makes them obedient.

Explain the holocaust and the nuremburg trials
RoseWind [281]

The holocaust was an extremely violent act of prejudice against Jews from Germans, there were almost 6 million Jews killed and even more that weren’t Jews. Scientists did experiments on Jews that usually killed them. Jews were often sent to concentration camps and we killed with poisonous gases and then burnt. Hitler (the ruler of Germany) wanted the world to be a certain race of people (blonde hair blue eyes) he called this the final plan. He would kill anyone he deemed unfit or unattractive.

The Nuremberg trials were the prosecution of people who planned or contributed to the violent actions toward Jews or anyone deemed “unfit to live”

<u>QUESTION 8</u>

The movement did have an impact because there is no more segregation anymore. So now people of all colors can be in the same table and classroom together. But there is still room for improvement. There are still racist mean people out there. some people still dont have any respect for colored people.

QUESTION 9

The 1960's were a tumultuous time in United States history. The sixties saw the rise of the Civil Rights movement that sought for equality and social reform for Americans of African descent. Also taking place in the 1960's were the Vietnam war, riots, poverty, antiwar protests, the "generation gap" and political assassinations.

These events and issues can be paralleled with today's American society through the continuation of rioting and protests, the continuation of extreme poverty, a technology induced generation gap (between Generation X, Millenials, and Baby Boomers who had nowhere near as much access to technology and information), and the continuance of Women's, African Americans, Latinos/Latinas, & other peoples of color's struggle to achieve racial equality and justice in a society created for and by Caucasian men.
