Show & Tell

The item I chose is an original German first aid hand bag kit. I chose this because back then it was necessary to have one around during World War II. With a lot of injured soldiers around I'm pretty sure nurses around needed certain things to stop certain wounds from bleeding like crazy. They also used things from this kit to keep certain cuts from getting serious infections. I thought this kit was cool because it already came with the tools included. This kit includes a lot of different tools. This kit comes with:
* Different size and types of individual dressing bandage packs
* Medical scissors for cutting clothes and shoes
* Packs of hygroscopic cotton marked 1941
* Folding knife with similar usage for the first cutting of the uniforms
* 4 different tourniquets for blood stopping
* A brass and glass German syringe
* 1 glass cup and 1 glass bottle for medicines
* Different Size and types of surgical needles
* Different types of sterile threads
* Thermometer
* 2 cotton triangles for tighten up
* Wooden medical splint which is used for fixing the broken legs of the soldiers
* 5 little ampules with ammonium hydrate, that is used to recover consciousness when breathing in by the nose
* A surgical razor
* Box of 12 hypodermic needles

Reaction to Realities Past

After viewing most of the video clips, I feel so heart broken. It is so terrifying to go through these horrifying moments that the surviver's had gone through. If I was in their shoes, I know I definitley would have been scared to death. It is sad to know that many families had been broken up. I definitely know that I wouldn't have survived. I probably would've cried myself to death. I still find it hard to believe that a person could be so cruel with so much power. Why would anyone want to get rid of a whole race like that. After viewing the clips, I have imagined myself running for president and making this world a whole better place.

Is Intervention the Answer?

I believe that countries like the US should get involved with other countries that have been affected by genocide. If the US gets involved then everything would turn out ok for other countries. The US would help many people have shelters. There would be a lot more food for everyone. That is just wrong that countries are suffering from starvation and having no homes. If the US got involved then a lot of people will be helped. The people would have clothing to wear. It is wrong that countries have to suffer for the wrong reasons. For example a lot of people had suffered when Hitler was in power.Over millions of people have died. Anyway if the US joins in and help everyone else out then we are considered the better people and we would feel good for helping others.
