Section 3: Schindlers List (辛德勒的名单辛德勒的名单 1993, USA) 1. Pair Work Directions: WWII was a disaster to the Jews. Please first discuss the following questions with your partner and write down your ideas in the blanks. Then try to write a brief summary of the experience of Jews in WWII. By World War II, nearly all Jewish companies had either collapsed under financial pressure and declining profits, or had been forced to sell out to the Nazi-German government as part of the “Aryanization“ policy inaugurated in 1937. As the war started, large massacres of Jews took place. Pogroms were also encouraged by the Nazis, especially early in the war before the larger mass killings began. The first of these pogroms was Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany, often called Pogromnacht, in which Jewish homes were ransacked in numerous German cities along with 8,000 Jewish shops, towns and villages,1 as civilians and SA stormtroopers destroyed buildings with sledgehammers, leaving the streets covered in smashed windows the origin of the name “Night of Broken Glass.“ Jews were beaten to death; 30,000 Jewish men were taken to concentration camps; and 1,668 synagogues ransacked with 267 set on fire. In the city of Lvov, Ukrainian nationalists organized two large pogroms in July, 1941 in which around 6,000 Jews were murdered. In Lithuania, anti-Soviet partisan groups engaged in anti-Jewish pogroms on July 25 and 26, 1941, 4 before Nazi forces even arrived, killing about 3,800 Jews and burning synagogues and Jewish shops. Perhaps the deadliest of these Holocaust-era pogroms was the Iai pogrom in Romania, in which as many as 14,000 Jews were killed by Romanian citizens, police, and military officials. By December 1941, Adolf Hitler decided to completely exterminate European Jews. Even as the Nazi war machine faltered in the last years of the war, precious military resources such as fuel, transport, munitions, soldiers and industrial resources were still being heavily diverted away from the war and towards the death camps. By the end of the war, much of the Jewish population of Europe had been killed in the Holocaust. Poland, home of the largest Jewish community in the world before the war, had had over 90% of its Jewish population, or about 3,000,000 Jews, killed. Greece, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Lithuania, Bohemia, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Latvia each had over 70% of their Jewish population destroyed. Belgium, Romania, Luxembourg, Norway, and Estonia lost around half of their Jewish population, the Soviet Union lost over one third of its Jews, and even countries such as France and Italy each saw around a quarter of their Jewish population killed. 2.

He fears because it is illegal and dangerous to take Jewish people to his factory, which will also put pressure to his friend in the army. Yet, he sympathizes with the Jews and is willing to help them as long as he can, though with some regret and annoyance that he cant help them all. 3)What kind of person is Goeth, according to what Stern and Oskar says? According to Schindler, there are some good aspects with Goeth. He is under enormous pressure, as he is in charge of everything. If it wasnt for the war, he should be a wonderful crook.

UnitUnit 9 9 CulturalCultural ConflictsConflicts 文化冲突文化冲突 Section 1: Crash (撞车 2004, USA/Germany) 1.Debate: Do you think racial discrimination issue so threatening and dominating in the multi-cultural and multi-racial society? The term “racial discrimination“ shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, color, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life. For: any country should have a dominating mainstream to develop; some ethnics have the deep- 8 rooted belief of national superiority over others Against: the world is becoming smaller and smaller; any country or ethnic needs interactions and co operations with others in order to develop; in the new era, the new polycentric civilization will leave behind forever the ethnocentric and tribal mentality 2.

What is the husbands reaction to the wifes quarrel? The husband thinks the wife too sensitive and a little insane insisting on the change of lock again. To him, to quarrel with the wife or agree with the wifes suggestion is ridiculous and does not make any sense. 3). Why Miss Jean so angry about the accident?

The husband wants to win more support from the black community by pinning a medal on a black fireman, who actually is an Iraqi. In his opinion, the Iraqi man looks just like a black.
