Script:Hello, this is my response to lecture 5. In the 1940s, the world faced the worst global wars. You mention how many people took too long to care about Jews dying, and governments were caught up in politics, something that I see going on in today's world. Travel and trade were disrupted, and countries had to take sides reminds me of how we have similar conflicts where tariffs are impacting the distribution of goods. Germany created complex codes, which I found interesting because Britain required people like mathematicians and chess players to help break them. We also see how Japan surrendered after the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb, showing the world that nuclear weapons should never be used again. Yet they are becoming a weapon to be used again for coercion today. This decade felt like a lot of movement and adjustments to Hedda and her family as they planned to move to Australia failed because of the war. Having her family to keep moving, and find ways to survive under German occupation, including being called to work camps, must've taken a huge toll mentally. Although Hedda's family survived because of connections and luck, it's still something hard to swallow because it meant others were sent on the trains to Auschwitz.
