Unit 7 Summary:
After World War I, most Americans wanted to avoid involvement in international conflicts. However, during the 1930s, Germany, Italy, and Japan increased their military power and invaded other nations. The United States responded by gradually abandoning its policy of neutrality. After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, the United States entered World War II.
Millions of Americans joined with troops from Britain and other allies to fight for victory. At home, civilians worked hard to support the soldiers. First, Italy was defeated, and then Germany. Finally, in 1945, the United States defeated Japan by using a new weapon—the atomic bomb.

Please welcome Holocaust Survivor, Irving Roth.
Born in Kosice, in present-day Slovakia, in 1929, Roth grew up in Humenne, where his father owned a successful lumber business. After the German occupation in 1938, life became precarious for the Jews. In 1942, after deportations of Jews to concentration camps began, Roth’s family fled to Hungary, where his parents survived the war in Budapest by being hidden by a Christian woman. The rest of the family was deported to Birkenau by cattle car in 1944; his grandfather Shimon and other relatives were sent to the gas chambers. Irving and Bondi endured starvation, beatings, forced labor and a death march to Buchenwald, where they were separated — he never saw Bondi again. When the camp was liberated on April 11, 1945, by U.S. forces, Irving Roth weighed only 75 pounds.
