theme/project 1, "draft 1"

For my final result, I am going to TRY to do some sort of video, which i will narrate. So far I have come up with the general idea (this is not the actual wording) for some of my narration (basically how what I learned connects to my theme):
Throughout the 1920s to 1970s, the concepts of personal freedom, individual responsibility, and respect for human dignity went through both downfalls and improvements, but in the end, had improved more (than gotten "worse").
Hitler and his followers believed that they were superior to other races and that Jews were basically nothing, meant only to serve or be killed. During the Holocaust, concentration and death camps were established in different parts of Europe, and in these places, the prisoners' (Jews +...) personal freedoms were very, very restricted, and basically all respect for their dignity as humans was lost. They were no longer treated like humans, but animals.
At this time, other dictators/governments were establishing totalitarian states, in which the government was given all power and individuals had no rights (responsibilty).

*This is a very very very non specific draft, but I'm pulling myself together, so... It will be more filled in shortly.

Good start; by Friday, I'd like to see at least the beginnings of the video.
