Nice job. You explained your answers very well and went into a lot of detail. Very good job.
Good blog. It was very informative.
Your answers are really good, but if at all possible I would have liked to see more detils in your answers, but other than that it was great.
Good post. I really liked how you answered the question about why Elie prayed. I believe the same thing.
NICE! You guys got straight to the point but did a great job answering the questions thoroughly.
Sorry on Number four i believe that the Gestapo's job was to watch over and to eliminate all the enemies of the party and the Socialist state as well as disintegrating forces of all kinds directed against both.
Great job answering all the questions thoroughly. I have a problem with number four though because you did not really answer the question. Your answer was more of who the Gestapo was instead of what were their duties.
Good job guys. I like the way you were straight and to the point in your responses.
