PROUD SUPPORTERS OF ADOLF HITLER
THOUSANDS OF JEWS WALK TO DACHAU CAMP. CATHERINE CARPENTER
It was a sunny, pleasant day today in Munich, Germany. It was the perfect day for a parade- and one simultaneously took place on Heaven street. Nazi soldiers delivering Jews to Dachau concentration camp abandoned their trucks, and they walked Heaven st., a relatively poor area. Local boy Rudy Steiner states, “They just came out of nowhere. One of them, an old man, dropped dead. They were all in horrible condition.” We contacted Adolf Hitler, who believes that the “death marches” as he calls them are a wonderful idea. “Anyway to torture those wretched people.”

They say true love only happens once in a lifetime. I guess thats true, at least it was in my case. I was just a young girl, lost and confused. They he came along, Rudy Steiner. The boy with lemon hair, who painted himself black and defeated the world. He was my other half, my rock when the times got tough. We were just kids in love, but that came to an end. Rudy Steiner died on a cloudy day, strewn across bomb stricken land we once races across. I held him in my arms as he took his last breath. He was only 13. He used to tell me that he wanted to grow up before he died, but that never happened. He was the kind of person you meet once in a lifetime, and you can never forget. He asked me for a kiss, and he only received one after his short life ended. I can never forgive myself for that. His only wish never happened.

THIS OR THAT? WHAT DO YOU THINK? PEOPLES OPINIONS ON WORLDWIDE EVENTS.
You know what I hate? Jews. Everything from their dark hair to their disgusting little toes. You probably already know that, though, i converted all of Germany to anti-semitism. They are dreadful people, and i want more people on my Nazi Party. So, if you are a Jew supporter, you should read this to figure out how heinous these people can be.
First of all, the failure we call World War 1 is entirely their fault. I blame the Treaty of Versailles on them, which is the peace treaty we “supposedly” signed with France. Also, a large amount of jewish people gave information about Germany and our strategies to French armies. Also, on a more personal note, Jewish people are responsible to my
