Analizing book "Dlaczego należy uczyć o Holokauście" (translation "Why we should teach about Holocaust")

Stanisław Krajewski pg 34
Uczyć wszędzie, a szczególnie w Polsce!
Teach everywhere, and especially in Poland!

Why it is important to teach people about Holocaust? In whole world there are so many brutality and conflicts. In different countries there are different people who have different history. Some of them aren't crossing and some of them are. But  why people from other continents should care about history of Europe? Why they should learn about Holocaust? Is that really important to them? The answer is yes. People all over the world are inventing thousands of different techniques which cause faster production at fabrics and easier way to reach goals. Hitler built factories and he used all available knowledge to make production faster. When we are talking about production most of people would think about materials, mechanisms or war weapons like tanks or guns. But main goal of Hitler's fabrics was death. Death of Jews was the main goal for Nazis, because they were thinking that Jews are evil. That sound little bit strange but that's truth. Nazis wanted to rule the world as they thought that they are the best race on the Earth and clear rest of world from nations which they thought were worst or dangerous for them. These facts are very important to learn and first of all to teach in school because people be leave what they were told in young age.

Animation

So I changed my mind and now I'm doing computer model. Finally I will make animation.

My animation will have in it next things.

1. Travelling through camp.

2. Visiting:
               - Female Barrack
               - Male Barrack
               - Latrines
               - Showers (probably)
               - Gas Chambers and Crematoriums (probably)

3. Photo rooms where I will put different photos from camp

Working on plan of Auschwitz II

Working on plan of Auschwitz II
This is plan of Auschwitz II on which I was working. This plan will help me to make exact model of A. II.

First Draft

This is draft of animation.

I need to make text more exact, because watchers won't be able to read what is written there.

Change of view

A few days ago I was making measurements on Auschwitz II plan. From my calculations I can say that the most appropriate size for my model will be nearly 1.5 meters length and 1 meter wide. Also I count all barracks which are on plan. There are 340 barracks at all. If I will build model of Auschwitz II which length will be 1.5 meter and wide will be 1 meter, barracks should be 1.0x0.5 cm. It will be hard to build 340 barracks which size is so small. So I made a decision and now I will make my model of Auschwitz II in Google Sketch Up.


To present my product I will make animations which will take people through whole camp, show different buildings, show where were male side of camp and female, where were camp's hospital and where SS officers have had their quarters. On my presentations people will see how big Auschwitz II was and also they will see what left from the camp. If watchers will be interested in seeing building from inside I will give them that kind of chance. I was thinking about making models of barracks from inside and also some other buildings.
