Martha and her brothers had finally gotten into their hotel and were just going to walk around the city for a bit when they approached what looked like a parade forming, the people were nice and everything. In the distance they heard a band and more people yelling. Two guards were holding a human who they had scalped and put white powder all over. They held the women up like that because she had given herself to a Jewish man. Her name was Anna Rath.
ReplyDeleteMartha fell to the peer pressure earlier that day when Nazis saluted Hitler and she just did the same like she was one of them
“The excitement of the people was contagious I ‘Heiled’ Hitler as vigorously as any Nazi” Her brothers were not as happy about the fact that she did that. And they were kind of embarrassed. This is what happens with people in Germany during that time, because no one wants to be the one that gets beaten up because they didn’t salute. So they feel like they need to or else they will be out casted or lose their jobs and won’t be able to support their family. Or in a worse case be held up like a tow in front of everybody like Anna Rath
In part III of In The Garden of Beasts was talking about Martha starting to get along with Diels and they were getting really close with each other. They would always go out on walks together and hang out, but the only thing was that Diels didn't want to be seen in public with her because he wasn't a good person. It was like she was sleeping with the devil. In the beginning of part III, it was mentioned that there was a parade that was going on and the generals were having problems with the Jewish people. The plan was to try and get rid of the Jewish people that were living in Germany. A woman was also found in the parade and she wasn't being treated in a good way at all. They made fun of her and they were trying to figure who she was and her name was Anna Ruth.
ReplyDelete"Often, as the car slowed to pass through narrow village streets, onlookers turned toward them and made the Hitler salute, shouting “Heil Hitler,” apparently interpreting the low number on the license plate—traditionally America’s ambassador to Germany had number 13—as proof that those within must be the family of some senior Nazi official from Berlin." This quote was very significant to the text because it show how the people in Berlin looked up to Hitler and for things to be official they received help from the Americans. It just shows how organized things can be with Hitler being the leader.
The crowd that was outside was really polite and respectful to each other, then the Storm Trooper came into play. This part of book is going to help the people get closer to Hitler so that he can take care of them.
Summary: In Part III we see how things just keep getting worse and worse for the people in Germany. There are even more attacks on Americans going on, and Martha still doesn’t see it. At this point she is purposely being oblivious to all her negative surroundings. A girl got drug through the streets and Germany says that this was an incident that was “rare, committed by ‘irresponsible’ men.” At this point in Germany if they didn’t salute they risked being beaten. Messersmith proposes that we use force from the outside now, and at the very end of this part we see Roosevelt trying to set up a meeting with Hitler. Hopefully there will start to be some change.
ReplyDeleteParaphrase: Germany is trying to hide all of their wrong doings so the world doesn’t look down on them. Dodd even urged the American press not to let the story of someone getting beat out, but it somehow got out. However, shortly after this Dodd warned Germany that if their attacks continued the United States might be forced to publish a story that would really hurt the rating of Germany to the rest of the world.
Quote: “When trying to spell a word over the telephone a caller could no longer say ‘D as in David,’ because ‘David’ was a Jewish name.” This is significant because it is showing how ridiculous Germany is becoming. They won’t even let the people use Jewish names. Germany thought that everything about the Jews were dirty. Germany is going overboard with their control at this point. Someone will see how bad they are becoming soon.
Part III talks mainly about Martha’s affairs, the development in Germany, Dodd’s speech with resulting critics from the US and that the “System Hitler” makes any exceptions of important persons like Diels, who had to flee. Martha’s intention was still to meet as many people as possible, but her view of Germany changed within the time, especially when she hold her “birthday party”. She was “shocked” and “struck” that the people weren’t able to get along with each other. Dodd realized in this chapter, that the development in Germany goes in a bad direction. He hold a speech, in which he criticizes indirectly the German government, but the US government was really unhappy about his behavior. They still think there are moderate powers are on power in Germany. The violence against American citizens goes on. Gestapo chief Diels got problems by the “SS under the command of one Captain Herbert Packebusch”. He lost the “fight” against him, and instead of become arrested, he flew to Carlsbad, Czechoslovakia.
ReplyDeleteDodd was upset about the attacks on American citizens, the German government would have to suffer under truth, spreading out in the world. Dodd says, this would lead to an isolation, which Germany would damage hard.
This passage is important, because the other countries either didn’t notice the real problems or they just uttered a threat, with no real consequence following.
“Hitler had just announced his decision to withdraw Germany from the League of Nations and from a major disarmament conference that had been under way in Geneva, off and on, since February 1932.”
This quote shows the development in Germany perfectly. This announcement on Saturday, October 14th should have made the world curious. It was recognizable that Hitler refuses the Treaty of Versailles completely, no payments would follow and his try to great a World power. Hitler tries to rearm the poor Germany, therefore he needs a lot of workers, and the living standard increases. Makes it easier for him, to get more people to follow. Refusing the Treaty of Versailles helped him to point out the “enemies” of Germany. With this step, he isolated Germany from international affairs.
Part 3 of the book is about the troubles that still go on in Germany. In fact, things are getting worse, attacks on people was on the rise and lots of violence was going on. But Martha had no idea what was going on and did not see the violence and attacks that were happening right in front of her face. She actually did the Nazi salute and hailed Hitler just because everyone else was doing it and she didn't want to be the only one refusing to do it.
ReplyDeleteThe United States does not want to get involved in what Germany is doing but if it gets worse then they will need to take a stand and help the German people stop the wrongdoings that the German soldiers are doing.
"The incidents will go on." This quote is important because Messersmith knew that the attacks and violence was still gonna go on but he refused to try and stop it or bring it up to people that would stop it. This shows that he was scared of Hitler and that they do not want to question him and make him angry.
Summary
ReplyDeleteIn part three of garden of the beast a lot is covered. We start to get a greater insight to the gaining power of the Nazi party. In part three a decree that no American will be harmed for not saluting, but we see more and more stories of American still getting beaten for not saluting or honoring a Parade. We see a scene in part three where Martha her brother and a friend see a women shamed in a parade because she was going to marry a Jew. Later in part three we learn a lot about Martha’s love life and the insight to some of her lovers, the most important lover being Diels. In the conclusion of part three we see Dodd give a brilliant speech of history that only a few people could understand. In fact it was coded to represent Hitler and Hitlerism and how awful it is and is becoming in Germany.
Paraphrase
P.150 second full paragraph
Dodd showed her a small smile. I had no dis belief about Hitler as I was given the ambassadorship. Dodd replied. I wished to find straight-minded people around Hitler. I am sickened to find out that all of them are nothing but evil.
I paraphrased this because it a good example of Dodd finally seeing the true meaning of Hitler and the Nazis. I believe in the future, as Dodd gets more involved in letting the truth out to people and others joining in with Dodd Hitler will start to reveal his master plan.
Quotation
“Nowhere have I had such lovely friends as in Germany,”she wrote. “Looking back on it all is like seeing someone you love go mad-and do horrible things.”
I chose this quotation because when I think of this book in a whole and of Hitler’s Germany I imagine this quote. It’s like a kids dog getting rabies. The people in Germany are good people just like a good dog, but just like a good dog when a rabid animal attacks a good dog his mind goes bad and evil. Hitler is the rabies for good German people he offers them more jobs and a renewed society while also brain washing them into the hatred of Jews.
Part three of the book is about the political troubles that are going on in Germany. Thi.ngs are beginning to get worse as violent attacks on people started to take place. Mr. Dodd held a meeting where he criticized the German government which upset the American government back home. the reason for this is that American in German were getting killed/ hurt.
ReplyDeleteParaphrase
Hitler had just announced his decision to take Germany out of the League of Nations and from a big time disarmament conference that started in Geneva every now and then since February 1932
quote
" dodd received an invitation from the German foreign office to attend the upcoming party rally in Nuremberg" (100)
this quote is significant because at the time, the American government did not want have Dodd attend this meeting because Germans were killing American citizens. Dodd realizes this so he does not attend
In this portion of “In the Garden of Beasts” Martha begins to see the corruption that Germany has fallen into. More and more attacks began happening. Storm Troopers roamed about the streets, and people “crowded the edge of the sidewalk and offered the Hitler salute.” Also, Martha met a man by the name of Rudolf Diels who was the young chief of Gestapo. “Martha’s love life took a dark turn…” However, little did she know that Diels would disappear rather soon.
ReplyDeleteMany things started happening in Germany that opened Martha’s eyes to the corruption Germany was undergoing. People continued to be beaten, but on a more public knowledge. A woman was even pulled through the street. Martha could finally see Germany for what it was becoming.
Martha was living amidst a dark turn in Germany’s history, however “Martha’s love life took a dark turn when she was introduced to Rudolf Diels, the young chief of the Gestapo.” It is ironic how the times she is living in and her personal life are somewhat having a parallel effect.
1) Part III of “In the Garden of Beasts” begins with another attack on an American in Germany. The man was approached by a group of SA members and refused to do the Hitler salute when asked. Dodd is also formally recognized as the ambassador to Germany. Dodd’s workload is continuing to increase, and he is working on his book less and less. Chapter 13 mainly talks about Martha and her social life. Martha realizes with her father’s position that guys adore her, and she thrives on that. She “runs around” with several men, including Diels, who is referred to as Lucifer. Martha also becomes acquainted with Boris, a secretary of the Soviet Union. They sneak around because if anyone knew it would be a breach in protocol. Boris turns out to actually be an operative for the NKVD, and persecutor of the KGB. In October, Jews are banned from employment at newspapers and any kind of publishers. Dodd addresses the Chamber of Commerce and uses references to criticize the Nazi Regime. Everyone in the rooms claps and applauds Dodd, showing that people in Germany understand the chaos of Hitler and his regime.
ReplyDeletePart III concludes with Hanfstaengl trying to set Martha up with Hitler claiming that he “needs a woman”.
2) On page 150 the books states that Dodd had no misunderstandings of Hitler when he took the position, however he believed that he would find some “decent people” around Hitler. The can’t believe that the whole team is nothing but criminals. – This is relevant to the text because Dodd is clearly stating how he feels about Hitler and his regime. This is also showing how awful Hitler and his people are because Dodd is claiming that “the whole gang” is awful and full of criminals.
3) In chapter 15, entitled “The ‘Jewish Problem’”, the book states “At the door, Dodd said, “You must realize that Germany would be ruined by another war.” (130) This is relevant to the text because it is an actual reality. It’s a sense of irony because there was another war, and it did ruin Germany. It is setting up the scene for the rest of the book, which will eventually be a war. This is starting to become closer and closer because Germany is getting worse with the poor treatment of Jews.
Part III of "In the Garden of Beasts" starts off with Martha and her family settling down and still enjoying the time they were having in Berlin, Germany. Martha and the Dodds were still noticing strange things going on in Germany, but yet to believe or even consider any sort of danger they were about see. And those strange little things start turning big really fast for the Dodd Family. Soon Martha witnessed what looked like an SA parade but ended up being an SA brutality, 1 out of 'a dozen incidences.' The brutalities were performed onto the Jewish affiliated people from the Hitler Youth and followers. Dodds described this as a "Jewish Problem."
ReplyDelete"I urged the American Press not to mention this story."(127) Dodds is speaking about the section in chapter 15 "The Jewish Problem." This is speaking towards the beginning of the countless brutalities from the Hitler followers and SS officers. I find it ironic that Dodds does not want the American Press to know now that things have taken a left turn, but I can also see why at the same time. Dodds believes that the people would not handle situations like this. Dodds also realizes that the American Government already knows about all this so he is just waiting for them to step in. Overall, this quote states how dangerous things are getting in Berlin where Dodds was viewing.
"Dodds pressed on, now venturing into even more charged territory: the Jewish "Problem" as Dodd and Neurath both termed it." This quote is effective throughout the whole part III by describing the beginning of these signs the Dodd family witnessed and are slowly seeing more and more of.
SUMMARY:
ReplyDeleteIn part 3 of "In The Garden of Beasts" Erik Larson talks more about Martha's views on Germany and how it's progressing in the worst way. Germany has taken a big toll and is going down hill as the days go by. More and more people begin to get beaten and hurt from the Nazi's. Martha has seen so much bad from the Nazi's and Hitler but continues to shut out the fact that it's actually happening. That makes me as the reader want to propose the question, why is she truly doing this? Why doesn't she come to a realization that what she's seeing is really happening?
PARAPHRASE:
Hitler tries to out smart the world around him. He terrorizes people and then turns around and gives an excuse about the incidents that occurred. He doesn't want other countries and such shunning him and his men for the things they do so they try to keep it as best kept in Germany as possible. He also wants to keep it away from the people actually in Germany too.
QUOTE:
Page 117, "One can evade a danger that one recognizes." I chose this quote because it automatically made me think of Martha and how she continues to be blinded by the incidents that are beginning to occur in Germany caused by Hitler and his men.
ReplyDeleteIn the Garden of the Beast part 3
In Part III of The Garden of Beasts it continues to show that Germany is changing in a way that is not good. Dodd hears of a surgeon who was an American and not even Jewish struck down because he didn’t salute the Nazi soldiers as they passed by; “The attack followed a pattern that would become all too familiar”, this quote enlightens the reader of the rest of what happens in the book to come. One of the main attacks in chapter 11 is when Martha and her bothers come across what they assumed to be a parade with people yelling and shouting “Heal Hitler” and Martha joining in on the shouting with much of her bothers dismay. As they continue to approach to parade they see a women named Anna Rath being scalped, all because she had given herself to a Jewish man. These types of attacks become visible among the German population after a while.
