Project Report
My passion for technology and my interest in the Holocaust led me to
my topic about the the advancements of science and technology during the
Holocaust and World War II.
I spent easily a few hours just reading and narrowing down the
inventions and advancements in science and technology.
I was originally going to do a documentary about this, and I got pretty
far into it, but it got to a point where I was going to be unable to finish my
project. I took my knowledge and script from my documentary and applied it
to a Weebly website.
Since the beginning I had my eyes set on making either a
documentary or website. I had my aspirations set towards the documentary
with anticipation and anxiety caused by the thought of not being able to
finish it. Like I have said before, I have a profound interest for computer
science which drew me to creating these type of projects.
During the initial stages of my documentary, I had spent a decent
amount of time working on the script, because this is the backbone of any
documentary. I eventually got to the revising stage where I was editing the
speech to make sure that it would be easy to say and would get the point

across. After the speech was finished I recorded the voice overs, but I was
unable to gather all visuals for the completion of this project. Thus, allowing
me to rely on my back up project, a website, which I had been working on in
tandem with the documentary.
The most challenging part of this journey would be just working on two
projects at once. However, I would not consider this a limiting factor that
inhibited my ability to complete the documentary. I knew that during the sixweek timeframe that there was a chance of not being able to create a quality
product that would accurately portray the revolution of science and
technology during the Holocaust and WWII.
If I could do something differently, I would most likely lower my
ambitions to complete a project that is more tangible and in my scope of
completion. I wouldnt let my ambition get the most of me, especially when
approaching the 11th hour.
I have learned a lot about the medical experiments and technology
used in the genocide of Jews during the Holocaust. The research that I put in
this project has shown me how efficient the Nazi Germans wanted to be, and
the evils of Hitler and his regime. As a learner this project has allowed me to
improve upon my skills as researcher and made me more efficient in my
ability to write.
I hope my project can teach others the thoroughness and methodology
the Nazis had used during the War and the Holocaust to commit these
atrocious crimes against humanity. It has also taught me about the

incompetence of people, who dont stand up against those who are facing
the brutal treatment of the Nazi Germans.
