Challenges Jews faced when living in Treblinka

The Writing: Topic (since the feedback says to be more specific about my outline I am changing my topic to Challenges jews daces when living in the Treblink ghetto in polland rather than just ghettos)

For your discussion of your chosen subject you should consult several books and articles and if possible one or more primary sources.

Write 12-15 pages (double spaced, 12 points, Times New Roman). Do not forget to insert page numbers!!! Don’t forget your name and the course title.

Find a title for your paper, which is short, catchy, and describes what your research is about. Artificial evidence like chat dpt etc. will be detected.

Give a short introduction first that describes briefly the historical context, talks about existing research, describes your use of sources and raises your research question.

Separate the introduction from the main body of the paper. (insert 2 blank spaces underneath the introduction or write a subtitle)

In the main part discuss your topic and develop your thesis based on arguments and evidence from the readings, and the primary sources. You can use subtitles to structure your main text.

Separate the main part from the conclusion. (insert 2 blank spaces underneath the main section or use the term conclusion)

Finish the paper with a conclusion that summarises your investigation and discussion of the topic, formulates your main thesis, and/or answers your research question.

Cite other author’s ideas and facts they provided (that is their property) properly:

Unit Two Historical Perspectives Assignment

Every historical event has multiple perspectives to consider when forming conclusions about decisions made in the past. This is especially true when the subject matter is debated or controversial.

In this assignment you will be examining historical events from two diametrically opposed positions and forming a conclusion/opinion as to which case presented the better argument. In addition, you will be examining a primary source to determine its position and historical value to understanding the event. This activity will not only provide first-hand experience working with primary materials (the building blocks of history) but will also allow you to appreciate the complexity of the past and perhaps see things from different point of view.

Traditional Italian mafia

Research Project: Prepare a five to six-page essay on the following topic:

1. The traditional Italian mafia has taken some serious hits from the various law enforcement agencies that try to control it, as well as the courts, not to mention the real “hits” imposed within its own ranks! However, it is still around and continues to manifest

2. You may explore the history, traditions, workings, and criminal activities of the “traditional” mafia; Italian organized crime. Look at how it has influenced and affected businesses, government, and the criminal justice system. What laws have been toughened or enacted to limit its influence? But do keep in mind that not all organized crime is the realm of the mafia. Other forms of organization composed of other ethnic groups have come to take up the slack left by the many successful mafia prosecutions and convictions. You might find it interesting to explore some of the other organizations.
