Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When was Pearl Harbor bombed?

Answer: December 7, 1941

"A day that will live in infamy", the bombing of Pearl Harbor started the war for the USA.
2. Which of these were WWII dictators?

Answer: All of them

If you didn't get that one right, you really need to brush up on your WWII facts.
3. After Pearl Harbor what happened to most Japanese Americans?

Answer: They were interned

Conditions in these internment camps varied but were usually very harsh. The whole issue has been a matter of much controversy.

"In 1988, Congress passed and President Ronald Reagan signed legislation which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government. The legislation said that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership".
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_American_internment (accessed on 6 March 2012).
4. Where was the biggest Jewish revolt against the Nazis?

Answer: Warsaw

In the end just about everyone in the Warsaw Ghetto was killed or taken to a concentration camp, but a least they tried to stop their own deporation.
5. Although the Japanese were widely discriminated in the US, an infantry of Japanese American soldiers came out of the war more decorated than any other infantry. What was the number of this infantry?

Answer: 442

Though the Japanese were widely viewed with deep suspicion throughout the war, it looks like they did pretty well.
6. What kind of gas was used in the gas chambers of the Nazi extermination camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Majdanek?

Answer: Zyklon B

Nazis, always efficient in their murders, found that Zyklon B killed people fast. However, at Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka they used carbon monoxide.
7. When were all able-bodied German nationals of military age resident in Britain interned without exception?

Answer: June 1940

In September 1939 German nationals in Britain were categorized, and refugees who could produce evidence that they were genuine were exempt from internment. Only Germans under suspicion or of unclear status were interned. However, in the course of the evacuation from Dunkirk, a number of civilians were brought to Britain.

Some sections of the popular press raised the cry: "Intern the lot!" As a result, even refugees from Nazi Germany were interned. The categorization process was repeated and some were released after about 7-8 weeks, but others were interned for longer - in some cases much longer.
8. Auschwitz was the first concentration camp.

Answer: False

Though Auschwitz is most probably the most notorious camp of all, Dachau was the first permanent camp.
9. Hitler's plan to "purge" Europe of Jews was called what?

Answer: The Final Solution

It was Hitler's "solution" to all of Germany's (and the world's) problems.
10. According to most accounts, how did Adolf Hitler commit suicide?

Answer: poisoning himself

His new wife of one day committed suicide with him. Some accounts claim that he also shot himself.
