Norkus was a member of the Hitler Youth who was murdered by communists whilst distributing leaflets advertising a Nazi propaganda rally. Following his death he became an "example of heroic committment of the Hitler Youth" and was declared a "blood witness of the Movement".
Norkus' father a First World War invalid and stoker by trade, is believed to have been a member of the SA. His mother suffered from neuropathy and died in 1931.
On the morning of his death, Norkus was distributing Nazi propaganda leaflets with other Hitler Youths in Berlin-Moabit when a group of communists attempted to stop them and began chasing them. Norkus was caught, beaten up and stabbed several times. He died on the way to the hospital.
The following day, the Nazi paper der Angriff appeared with the headline "Wie der Hitlerjunge Herbert Norkus von Rotmord gemeuchelt wurde" "How the Hitler Youth Herbert Norkus was assassinated by red murderers".

Why did Britain adopt a policy of appeasement towards Germany in the 1930s?
Appeasement was the policy adopted by the British and French prime ministers int he 1930s towards dictators (Hitler, Mussolini, Japanese president) whereby they would give way to their demands, providing that the demands were reasonable and that the changes took place peacefully.
Six main reasons as to why the British and French did this includes;
1) Gb and France were both still suffering from economic depression and thus felt that they could not afford to spend a large expenditure on arms to combat these dictators.
2) Gb and France were not prepared for war, France was weak and divided and Britain simply had not mobilised its army, appeasement gave both countries vital time to re-arm and mobilise their armies, ready for war.
3) War would have been very unpopular with the public
4) British war generals stated that Britain was not ready to fight a war on two fronts (Japan and European dictators)
5) The league of nations had failed by the 1930s, so Neville Chamberlain (British PM) felt that it would be best to try and negotiate with and civilise the dictators, face to face
6) There was a feeling that the treaty of Versailles was too harsh towards Germany and it was only natural they would try to break it. Lord Lothian stated after Hitler illegally invaded the Rhineland "After all, the Germans are only going into their back garden"

Did the policy of appeasement during the 1930s make war with Germany more or less likely?
Could be argued either:
Made less likely as it: 1) Delayed war - Munich Agreement 29th September 1938 did so 2) Didn't cause the war, that was down to Hitler's aggressive foreign policy, the too harsh Treaty of Versailles and the failure of the League of Nations
Made more likely as it: 1) Gave Hitler confidence to keep pushing further 2) Prevented the Anglo-soviet pact, causing the nazi-soviet pact on 24 August 1939 and 3) Hitler consistently pushed further, e.g. Sudetenland invasion was allowed but then he went and invaded Czechoslovakia...

In Alabama, most of us little girls were expected to help with household chores from an early age. Little girls were expected to wash dishes at age 5, gather eggs at 4, help tend to younger siblings, and of course go to school at 6.

What were the attitudes towards black people in America during the 1930s?
As a consequence of the Civil War and Reconstruction, whites in the South had developed a segregated society. African Americans were relegated to a separate "coloured" class (along with most non-Caucasian citizens) and given separate public accommodations, usually of an inferior nature. While the Northern US had few of these societal barriers, de facto segregation occurred in the urban and rural populace. Among unskilled whites, competition for employment with blacks generated racial tension which occasionally caused open hostilities between the races.
Black people were forced to give up their seat on a bus and also made to step off the sidewalk for white people. They were always the last to be hired and the first to be fired for any job, making employment difficult to find and keep.
