  1. a) In Source C, what is meant by the following statement: "We would risk causing the victims of the most atrocious deaths to die again if we do not have an ardent desire for justice, if we do not commit ourselves to insure that evil does not prevail over good as it did for millions of children of the Jewish people. ... Humanity cannot permit all that to happen again." (3)

b) What message is portrayed by Source D? (3)

  1. Compare and contrast the nature of the “Final Solution” as portrayed in Source A and Source B.(6)
  2. With reference to their origins and purpose, assess the value and limitations of Sources A and E to historians studying the Holocaust.(8)
  3. Using the sources and your own knowledge, assess how the Nazis were able to proceed with the Final Solution with so little public notice or protest. (10)
