In class, Mr Fisher gave us a book to read, called The Wave, it’s based on a true story where a history teacher shows a film on Hitler, the Nazi’s and the concentration camps. It leads to an experiment that goes to far.

The main characters are the history teacher Ben Ross Amy, Ben Ross ( The History teacher ), David (Laurie’s Boyfriend and footbal player) , Brad (Amy’s Boyfriend and Quaterback of the footbal team)

The start of the book starts off with Ben Ross showing his class a movie about how the Nazi’s tried to kill off the Jews in the concentration camps.  At the end of the movie a lot of people were shocked and upset because Hitler killed so many people because they weren’t ‘good enough’ compared to the Germans, the ’superior’ race . At the end of the class, they asked Ben Ross a question, and he couldn’t quite give them a straight answer. That night he took out a lot of books and studied the Nazi’s.

It would be devastating to be Jewish and have that happen to you. Hitler killed Jews because he thought they were the reason for all the bad things yet Hitler was part Jewish? Pretty stupid I think, Hitler was insane, and quite literally a mad man. I don’t like war, but i’m glad that the Russians, British, Canadian, U.S etc. forces stopped them, because if they didn’t, there would be almost no more Jewish people alive. I also think it’s really stupid that the Germans/Nazi’s that DID know about the concentration camps, didn’t do anything about it, like what is wrong with them? Thats inhuman to do something like that.

And thats about it, thats what happened in chapter 1 – 4.
