But suddenly, the door closes, lights blink, and the motor starts. You sit down on the seat and suddenly everything stops. You open the door and step out into a back yard. "Come in and listen to the radio!" A shout comes from the house. You run into the house just in time to hear the broadcaster say "The United States has joined the Allied Powers!" You back out of the room and run back out side and hop back into the time machine. It brings you to the bombings in England, the front lines of battle, then to a concentration camp, and to a Hitler youth rally and to the Hiroshima bombings, and finally to the Nuremberg trials. You sit in the court room absorbing all the different parts of World War II you have seen and you start to realize how much history has changed the way the world changed because of these six years. || Student will understand that perspectives from WWII have an effect on our society and our world cultures.
