  of life

  mentally and physically disabled Aryans in
  Germany and had them injected with poison

Anti- Semitism measures put in place in February ,1941 Anti-Semitism measures put in place as early as September 1933

were put under terrible conditions for a period
of almost four more years than the Dutch Jews.

Comments

• Very informative about the treatment of Jews in
  general. Good use of propaganda posters and
  pictures.
• However, the comparison is not effective, as
  there is insufficient info on treatment of Dutch
  and Polish Jews to back up your comparison.
