From Quiz So, Your Sister is Deaf

Answer: American Sign Language & ASL

American Sign Language or ASL is the 4th most commonly used language in America. It was influenced by French sign language which can be seen in some signs. For example, "to look for" in French is "chercher" and the sign for "to look for" is made with a C hand not an L hand. In ASL, you don't always sign every word but rather the important words. Instead of saying "I'm happy with you" you would sign "I Happy You". It is important to note not all deaf people use ASL. Some are oral, and some use both methods together which is known as total communication. There is a debate in the Deaf community about whether or not the Deaf should speak or not.

The entire camp contained 29,794 prisoners at its peak occupancy. Many of the men died of starvation, dysentery, weather and infection. The prisoners were liberated on May 2, 1945, one year after Normandy. They were force-marched out of the camp; along the way, all of the guards were either killed by the prisoners or ran away. They reached safety and were liberated by the 3rd Army. Although the season was late spring, the weather was extremely cold and the men lacked proper clothing. A number of them died along the march. The movie, "Stalag XVII", was made in 1953 and also became the basis for the television series, "Hogan's Heroes". There actually was a sergeant among the guards sharing the name of "I know nothingggg!" Schultz in the TV series, spelled "Scholtz". The men also dug a tunnel in an effort to escape.
