I hope I can stick to my deadlines. I look forward to learning more about Weimar Republic because I haven't had any interaction with this content since the national teacher leadership team mtg and before that, at the HHB workshop I took years ago. I never taught this content in my WWII unit. What I know of German history as of today relates to their role in WWI, Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation, limited knowledge of the cabarets and the German perspective of the Armenian Genocide.
