Nich Weirath Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Ok, I'm trying out a few different topics but i need to know if I could get a good paper out of discussing/investigating the origin of Hitler's hate for the Jews. I know there are many different takes on this but do any of you think it'd be okay? If not, any suggestions? I'm trying to go more on the path of the Holocaust.

Award Winning Boss Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm going to say this: your topic... or whatever you're thinking about doing has been done roughly 7.2 billion times. I'd recommend finding something a bit more original. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpgc1995 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hey, I'm actually in the same problem as you are, looking for a topic for my history Internal Assessment. Some friends recommended the Interwar years or if Hitler was actually antisemitic, though I'm still not sure on what to do mine, hope it helps Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmi Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Great one! look what I found! : http://geoff-william...-topics-a308141 It has 50 History IA possible topics, its quite amazing. Hope it helps! Just throwing this out there, you probably shouldn't pick one of these as your IA topic. While some of them are interesting, you should try to come up with your own topic. If you want to do a topic related to Hitler or WWII, that's fine, but try to investigate a lesser-known event related to these. My IA deals with Stalin and the WWII years, but I chose a lesser-known event (that was still important regardless) towards the end of the war to research.

mswaney Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'd like to do my IA on the Holocaust as well, but everything I come up with seems to be too vague... any tips? Thanks!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'd like to do my IA on the Holocaust as well, but everything I come up with seems to be too vague... any tips? Thanks!!Pick something within the Holocaust (a person, event, whatever). Try to pick something with differing opinions/interpretations.Then narrow it down from there. What were the causes? Why did this happen the way it did? How important was this event in causing a future event to happen? Why did this part of it happen but not another part? Why did the person act the way they did? Ask yourself those kinds of questions and hopefully one will lead to your history IA topic. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko_K Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 My sister actually wrote a paper on the Nazi hatred for jews and how it got started. Specifically, she talked about the different reasons for its rise and how so many people could be so influenced about something so seemingly inhumane. The topic was simple and popular but she utilized it very well and got a very good grade on it. It doesn't really matter if the topic has been done a gazillion times. These topics never get old because they are so powerful and can really draw the reader in. When you are truly interested in the topic and understand it core by core, then you can transfer your own understanding to the reader and leave a good impression. That way is far better than writing on a complex topic that you might not even understand and chances are the reader won't grasp either so it ultimately becomes a waste.

David14 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I know people whose IA is about the amount of knowledge the civilians in Germany knew about the holocaust, and how they Germans knew the holocaust was going on all along but did not do anything. Maybe you could something similar? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
