Non-Jewish Victims Presentations

With your group, you will be creating and presenting a presentation on one of the non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Each group will be assigned a different group of people. In your presentation, you, at the minimum, must answer the questions below. Additionally, you must create a visual aid as part of your presentation. I would suggest using one of the apps on the iPad to create a PowerPoint-like presentation. All presentations will happen this afternoon. 

1. Describe who these people were. 
2. Describe why they were targeted by the Nazi party. 
3. What was the population of this group in Europe (or Germany if there is no data for all of Europe) before the Holocaust. (For the people with handicaps and the LGBT community, write down the amount of people who were persecuted--not just killed.)
4. Detail the different types of persecution that was used against these people. This should be an extensive list. 
5. How many of these people were murdered?
