    WHAT IS GRADE 9 HISTORY ALL ABOUT?

    What is it that you have to master as a Grade 9 learner, or: What will your educator want toassess and evaluate you on as far as History is concerned?

    The three learning outcomes that are required in Grades 7 to 9 are presented in the table on

    the next page. Each outcome is accompanied by the assessment standards that are relevantfor Grade 9. An assessment standard is a description of what you as a learner should beable to do. The communication skills that you have to master are described in the sectionfollowing the table. You will have to use these skills to demonstrate the degree to which youhave mastered the three outcomes. You therefore have to show, by means of an essay, andon the strength of a number of sources dealing with some subject or other, that you haveachieved the set outcomes according to the required standards.

    The material that you will be using to practise the necessary research and interpretation skillsand to gain the knowledge that you require, deals with the world, Africa, South Africa and withlocal history.

    A basic level of factual knowledge on these subjects must be mastered and this must bedemonstrated by answering short as well as essay type questions.

    Through the tests and examinations that you will be writing, and the exercises that you will bedoing, you have to prove to yourself, your parents and your educator that you have masteredthe required knowledge and skills to a satisfactory degree, at least, and that you are ready toprogress to the next phase of the school programme.

    Enjoy History!

    YourICSfriends.

    .................................................................LEARNING ACTIVITY 1:

    Human Rights and Racism:A Universal Blot on Humanity

    SOURCE A

    Racism is a shameful blot on the humanrace that has tainted every country on theEarth it is the repulsive habit of manypeople to use the colour of a persons skin as ameasure for rating his or her value as ahuman being.

    Up to a million people, mostly Tutsis, were

    exterminated in Rwanda in 1994 on account of

    their ethnic origin. Ethnic cleansing also was a

    common factor in the large number of wars

    fought during the last decade in what used to be

    Yugoslavia and has now been subdivided to

    form the regions of Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia,

    Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedo-

    nia. Mass rape was a general occurrence in the

    Balkans and still is in the Congo (Kinshasa).

    The crudest levels of racism are revealed

    through slavery and during wartime. In this

    regard we may think of extremes ranging from

    the eradication of six million Jews during the

    Second World war on the orders of Adolf Hitler

    to the hardly discernible ways of practising it atthe workplace and elsewhere.

    In South Africa, in the post-apartheid era, there

    is hardly a shortage of white, coloured and black

    racists from all levels of society. Such people

    often justify their adherence to their inclination

    by some motivation based in the past, referring

    to a past war or the political situation that

    prevailed over the past four centuries.

    In Zimbabwe, white farmers are driven off the

    land by means of thuggery because President

    Robert Mugabe neglected to address the issue ofland reform during his twenty years in govern-

    ment, to the detriment of all of Southern Africa.

    Equal numbers of black and white people are

    murdered in the United States, but 80% of exe-

    cutions following court cases since 1977 have

    resulted from the murder of whites.

    In India, the police and the judicial system are

    implicated in the caste system, which is referred

    to as concealed apartheid. More than 160

    million Dalits are regularly exposed to a range of

    human rights abuses that are not investigated. Ata conference on human rights, a Dalit man last

    year told of how his wife, daughter andtwo sons were burnt alive when mem-

    bers of a higher Hindu caste set fire to

    three huts. His oldest son, the first

    person from their village to obtain a

    university degree, had also been mur-

    dered by Hindus two years previously.

    In Turkey, 13 million Kurds go un-

    recognized and any reference to them

    is punishable with a jail term. Gypsies

    are regarded as inferior and as

    criminals and they are subject to

    assault all over Europe.

    Twenty-five indigenous community

    leaders in Honduras, in Central Ame-

    rica, were killed over the last number

    of years because of their campaign for

    the protection of their rights. In Guate-

    mala, indigenous groups who, during

    the war of the seventies and eighties,

    suffered mass rape, amongst other

    indignities, are still struggling forrecognition. They are not permitted to

    use their mother tongue during court

    proceedings.

    Australian Aborigines still suffer

    economic prejudice, social disruption

    and systematic discrimination. The

    possibility of an Aboriginal being

    arrested is 22 times greater than the

    chance of arrest of any other

    Australian.

    The Saudi Arabian government hasrefused to grant recognition to the

    23 000 Iraqi refugees within their

    borders after the Gulf War. They are

    continuously referred to as guests.

    Thousands of members of the Dinka

    tribe from the southern parts of the

    Sudan have been transported to the

    north as slaves. There the women and

    girls are raped and boys are forced to

    serve in the army. Some are compelled

    to take Arab names and to convert toIslam.

    China has been repressing the Tibetans for five

    decades and men, especially those from ethnic

    minorities like the Ulgurs are subjected to sexual

    torture. Then we also have the situation in the

    Middle East and the tragic lack of tolerance

    between Jews and Palestinians.

    Countries like Austria, Belgium, Switzerland,France, Japan and South Africa are singled out

    for their harsh action against asylum seekers and

    refugees.

    Dr Desmond Tutu, former chair-

    person of the WCC and Anglican arch-

    bishop, has on occasion said, No oneis born as a racist. Racism is taught.It is therefore possible for people to

    learn not to be racist.

    Hitler as dictator

    Study the sources provided below and answer the questions that follow them:

    SOURCEA

    A man who is born to be a leader may not be reticent, because his

    task is to move ahead.

    (Hitler, at the time of his trial in Mnchen, 1923.)

    SOURCEBA Nazi election poster.

    The words read: Yes!Fhrer(leader) we follow you!

    SOURCEC

    I am unable to describe the emotions that flow through me

    when I hear Hitler speak. When he speaks about the

    humiliation of Germany, I want to rush onto the enemy. His

    appeal to German courage was an appeal to take up arms as

    well, his news was the gospel, the announcement of good

    tidings. I forgot everything besides this man. When I looked

    around me, I noticed that his magnetism had captured

    thousands around me. The intensity of his will, the passion of

    his honesty had entered into me. I had an experience that

    could be compared to a Biblical conversion.

    (From a Nazi biography)

    SOURCE D

    If I do not have the inner conviction that I am doing the right thing, I will not

    do anything, not even if the whole of the Nazi Party tries to force me into action.

    (Hitler, as described by H. Rauschnigg, a German writerwho knew him well, 1939)

    SOURCE E

    I hereby declare unconditional loyalty to the Fhrer of the German Empire

    and Nation, Adolf Hitler, supreme commander of the army, and I am prepared,

    as a courageous soldier, to lay down my life for this oath.

    (Oath taken by all officers of the German army subsequentto Hitler becoming Fhrer in 1934)

    SOURCE FA recruitment poster for the German Youth Movement, 1939.

    It reads: The Youth serve the Leader. All ten-year-olds in the HJ (Hitler Jugend)

    SOURCE G

    Germanys problems can only be solved by violent means. Our

    first objective is the simultaneous overthrow of Austria and

    Czechoslovakia to thereby make it possible to withstand the threat

    of a combined action from France and Britain. While the rest of the

    world is preparing their defenses, we must act offensively.

    Germany has a right to greater living space in Europe. It is Hitlers

    determined objective to solve the German land issue no later than

    1943-45.

    (Report on a meeting between Hitler and his general staff,November 1937. The generals complained that Hitlers plans

    were too risky. Complaining generals were dismissed.)

    Practice in the writing of history essays

    Study the sources given below and write an essay (one A4 page) explaining howGermans were able to recognize Jews. Also give your opinion of the methods of raceclassification that were used.

    SOURCEJakob Graf: Hereditary and Racial Biology for Students (1935)

    How can we get to know how to be aware of a persons race?

    ... 6. Collect propaganda posters and cartoons for your book on race and

    arrange these according to race. What is the image of beauty that the artist

    accentuates in: (a) posters that introduce sports and travel (b) how hunters,

    mountaineers and shepherds are presented?

    7. Make a collection of images from illustrated magazines and newspapers,

    etc., of great scholars, statesmen, artists and other people who have becomeparticularly distinguished (e.g., in economic life, politics, sport). Determine the

    dominant race and combination according to physical characteristics. Repeat

    the exercise using images of great men from all nations and at all times.

    ... 10. Take note of Jews; their manner of walking, posture, gestures and

    movements while talking.

    11. What do you notice when a Jew talks or sings?

    SOURCEFrom a Nazi school textbook The poisenous mushroom

    Little Karl took the pointer, walked over to the writing board andpointed to the sketch. A Jew is usually recognizable by his nose. The

    Jews noses are crooked at the end. Many non-Jews also have crooked

    noses, but their noses are bent, not at the end, but higher up. Such a

    nose is called a hooked nose This has nothing to do with a Jewish

    nose The Jew can also be recognized by his lips. They usually are

    thick. Frequently the lower lip protrudes Jews are also recognizable

    by their eyes. Their eyelids usually are thicker and more fleshy than

    ours. A Jew looks sly and sharp."

    SOURCE

    Johannes Stark, with reference to the Jews. He received the Nobel prize for

    his work in the field of electromagnetism in 1934. He asked his German co-recipients of the Nobel prize to sign a declaration pledging support to Adolf

    Hitler. He had this to say about the Jews:

    ...It is true that the Jewish psyche, because of the flexibility of its intellect,

    has the capacity, by imitating the German example, to make important

    contributions, but it is not capable of doing creative work in the natural

    sciences. In recent times, Jews have frequently referred to Heinrich Hertz to

    counter this argument. It is true that Heinrich Hertz has made important

    discoveries in the field of electromagnetic waves, but he is not a true-bloodedJew. He has a German mother...

    SOURCEH Gauch: New Foundations of Racial Science (1934)

    Nordic people do not talk much People from other races talk a lot and what

    they have to say is superficial, without good judgment and untrue...

    Nordic people keep their mouths closed when they chew their food, and use agrinding action of the jaws, while other races usually chew with smacking sounds,

    like animals, because of how they move their jaws, and the repeated opening andclosing of their mouths.

    The physical shape of Nordic women is especially beautiful, while it is not so in

    other races. Their menfolk are more handsome, just as in the animal world.The Nordic people have a natural feeling for inner and outer cleanliness, while

    non-Nordic people always live in dirty environments when they live among their

    own people. Many animals are cleaner than they are when it comes to cleanliness.

    Racial mixing causes and leads to disease. It is an infringement of the laws of

    servants in their homes.ARTICLE 4: Jews are forbidden to display the German flag or colours, but may

    display Jewish symbols and colours without special permission.

    the wearing of the star was that the

    wearers were persecuted and their rights

    as human beings were violated.
