Summary: Part three starts off by talking about how another attack on an american had occured, saying that this was an "all to familiar pattern." it then goes on to talk about a "parade" they had to "teach someone a lesson." It was a woman that had associated herself with a jew. Later on in part three it talks about how Martha fell for a man by the name of Boris Winogradov, who was with the soviet embassy. the chapter, which is chapter 14, is all about how they fell in love. The final chapter in the final paragraph in part three, the book really takes you for a loop and keeps you wanting to read. the part ends saying "Hitler needs a woman, Hitler should have an American woman-A lovely woman could change the whole destiny of Europe." he then says "Martha, you are the woman!"
Paraphrase: The second to last paragraph on page 96 is important to me. It talks about how they was treating a Jew lover and how she looked tortured and was basically being dragged in the parade. it tells us that her hair was clipped and her face had been coated with a white powder. Martha described the face as having "the color of diluted absinthe." i think this paragraph is important because it shows how Jews and even people associated with Jews are treated and people still don't see the big picture and how Jews are going to start being treated poorly and killed by the thousands.
Quote: "one may safely say that it would be no sin if statesmen learned enough of history to realize that no system which implies control of society by privilege seekers has ever ended any other way than collapse." i think this quote is important because Hitler practices control over a society, a Jewish society, and this isn't even talking about Hitler its just talking."

Summary, Paraphrase, and Quote for part 3
Summary: Starts off by saying how there was another attack on an American who was a surgeon by the name of Daniel Mulvihill. “The attack followed a pattern that would become all too familiar.” This shows how it was a start to something that would later on become much worse. There was going to be a parade but what actually something to “teach someone a lesson.” Martha still wanted to believe in all of the good things that she thought were happening in Germany. “She praised the enthusiasm of the country’s young people and the measures Hitler was taking to reduce unemployment.” This shows how she would look at the bright side of things. “Martha remained inclined to think the best of the new Germany.” Martha was still getting attention of important people in Germany but “Martha’s love life took a dark turn when she was introduced to Rudolf Diels, the young chief of the Gestapo.” He was a charming man and she saw everyone was afraid of him.
Paraphrase: The passage on page 132 is important to me because it lets us have an idea of how much Dodd did suffer during this time. “He was plagued by headaches and stomach troubles.” His suffering even made him have physical pains. This gives us a little idea of what Dodd had to deal with and he would just write about it.
Quote: “The attacks against Americans, his protests, the unpredictability of Hitler and his deputies, and the need to tread with so much delicacy in the face of official behavior that anywhere else might draw time in prison- all of it wore Dodd down.” Everything that was happening in Germany at this moment which Dodd did not expect was tiring him down.

Summary, Paraphrase, Quote IGOFBeasts part 3
Summary:
Part 3 starts with the killing of an American surgeon who lived in Manhattan but practiced at a hospital on Long Island and was in Berlin to study techniques of a famed German surgeon. United States immediately protested this and everything was not going to "calm down." They had a "parade" in which the "Storm Troopers" were half dragging and half supporting a body. They wanted to say something but feared Nazi's would intercept the message by cable. But yet Col. Hogan on "Hogan's Heroes" did with no problem. He with other ambassadors and received a invitation but declined it. Another American family got attacked almost but was saved. This kind of stuff was dangerous and I know why the book is named In the Garden of Beasts because this stuff was crazy.
Paraphrase:
The first half of the book it talks about having parades for killing innocent human beings and no one has the guts to stand up to. This tells me that no one was "MAN" enough to say something and i get that but there is a fine line between cruel and decently.
Quote: "Still the police did nothing. One officer smiled." How crazy can these people be really the police smiling at beatings of innocent people. Hitler's Germany was crap and deserved the punishment and much more when the war was over.
Part III
ReplyDeleteSummary:
Part three continues with the Nazi party raising the bar in terms of brutality and violence. Men and women who even associated with Jews could end up being dragged through the street and abused. American citizens who simply did not salute SA officials where struck in the head and looked down upon. After several incidents occur, Dodd is questioning American safety in Germany, but still sends no information to the U.S. regarding the matter. He is still looked at as the wrong person for the job, especially after he turns down an invitation to a Nazi party. Martha continues to venture deeper into the Nazi regime. She meets Rudolf Biels (leader of the Gustapo) who explains that hate and distrust between Nazi officials. He soon had to leave Germany due to a feud with Goring, another Nazi authority.
Paraphrase:
Near the beginning of part III, Martha describes seeing a woman who is cut, bleeding, and being dragged through the street by SS soldiers. Reynolds even describes the woman as the Storm Troopers “Toy.” This scene is the first real act of violence that Martha is exposed to firsthand. She Is shocked at first, but believes that, “It did not reveal actually what was going on in Germany.” This is just surprising to me, that Martha is still in disbelief of the wrath that is to come.
Quote: “Kaltenborn and his family began walking back toward their hotel. A young man came from behind and without a word grabbed his son and struck him in the face hard enough to knock him to the sidewalk. Still the police did nothing.”
This quote is important in showing the growing power of the Nazi regime. The fact that police had no power or were just unwilling to get involved, shows the anarchy that has already begun. It is also ironic that violence is inflicted upon the man’s son who was reluctant to believe Germany was unsafe. This is just a taste of what Nazi’s will soon do in the future.

Summary:
In Part 3 of "In the Garden of Beasts", the author is telling us about how beatings of Americans and Jews are becoming the normal now. It is starting to become more evident that the Nazis see mistreating Jews and Americans as entertainment and do not see the problem with it. This leads up to Dodd finally speaking up about how none of this is right. He talks about how this is not acceptable in America so it is different for him to see it happening in Germany. Martha is also becoming more popular in Part 3. Part 3 tells us about how she tries to make up excuses for how the Nazis are mistreating the other people. Martha says that even though beatings are becoming the norm in Germany, she still loves the country.
Paraphrase:
There is one passage in Part 3 where a woman who was going to marry a Jew is publically embarrassed and beaten. What is interesting about this is that the Germans see this as entertainment. As the woman was being dragged through the streets while being embarrassed and beaten, nobody saw anything wrong with it. Many of the people were cheering because this is what they now like to see. The atmosphere was almost like a parade. The book describes the atmosphere as friendly and cheerful all because a woman was being dragged through the streets, hair shaved off and bleeding.
Quote:
On the top of page 107, Lillian (the wife of Mowrer) writes about Germany. Lillian writes, "Looking back on it all is like seeing someone you love go mad-and do horrible things." Lillian is saying that she has been sitting back and has been watching Germany go crazy little by little. Germany was once a rather calm country compared to how violent it is becoming. Lillian realizes that there is nothing she can do about it. She writes about how she has once had such lovely friends in Germany but now it is all over and the country is going downhill quickly. Of course, the Nazi officials do not see it like this and believe that the country is getting better through the violence.
Summary: Part three of "In the Garden of Beasts" begins with Dodd finding out about an american surgeon that was killed. As this is found out Dodd then begins to realize the mistreatment of Jews is beginning to worsen. He sees them getting mistreated out in the open, getting beaten up and dragged around town. Americans and others who do not support the Nazis are beginning to pay the price by getting beaten up if they don't salute. Martha continues finding out more about the Nazis as well as Dodd questioning the safety of others. One man questioned the safety of Germany and then was beaten up for doing so.
ReplyDeleteParaphrase: In chapter 15, Dodd explains how the "SA brutalities" is beginning to worsen. On American was struck for not watching an SA parade. Another american was beaten up because he did not offer the Hitler salute. Dodd said if these attacks continued then he will have to create a statement that will make Germany look very bad to the world.
Quote: "You cannot expect world opinion of our conduct to moderate so long as eminent leaders like Hitler and Goebbels announce from platforms, as in Nuremberg, that all Jews must be wiped off the earth."
This is Dodd talking to Neurath. They are talking about the hatred towards the Jews and how at this rate, Hitler will knock them off the face of the earth. They then mention how was would ruin Germany. This shows all the controversy and ignorance people had toward the problem.
Summery: Part three of “in the garden of beasts” continues to show the Nazis violence and harshness toward the Jewish people. If you even associated with the Jewish people there could be harm done to you. It later talks about that Americans that didn’t cooperate with the SA officers were punished and looked down upon. Dodd realizes that Germany is really not a safe place for Americans, but of course sends no information back to President Roosevelt. And is still looks like the wrong person for the job. Also Martha is still working her way into the Nazi party and meeting new people.
ReplyDeleteParaphrase: A passage in part three that really stood out to me was when they were talking about the American surgeon that had a practice in long island and went to Germany to study the techniques of a German famed surgeon in berlin. The part that kills me is that he wasn’t even Jewish he was just in Germany for work not doing anything wrong. It is outrageous that the American President and Dodd were just letting this go along and not say anything about it.
Quote:” Though Dodd continued to nurture the hope of German government would grow more civil, he recognized that Hitler’s two decisions signaled an ominous shift away from moderation. The time had come, he knew, he had to meet Hitler face to face. He went to bed that night troubled” This is a turning point and a big step for Dodd in my opinion he is taking authority and is realizing that he has to do something about all of this violence or this could get out of hand. Which shows Dodd has a little leadership in him.

Part III
Summary:
In part III of "In the Garden of Beasts", it talks about more attacks that are occurring. Its starts off by Dodd finding out an American surgeon was attacked and killed. Later, Martha, Bill, and Reynolds witnessed a woman being attacked, in the streets, with a parade of people crowding her, only because she was planning on marrying a Jew. Another incident that happened, was between an American family, the Kaltenborn's. When Dodd heard about all of this, he still decides not to send any information to America. He did, however, told Martha all about all of it, but she continued to think the best of Germany. She kept trying to make excuses for Hitler's and the Nazi's actions. By the end of part III, a man, Diels, suggests to Martha that she should be Hitler's woman, leaving the readers in a cliffhanger.
Paraphrase: p. 104
As the Kaltenborn family were close to going back to America, storm troopers were parading around the streets and offering to salute Hitler. When the Kaltenborn family had their back towards them and not saluting, the storm troopers and others around there began to attack the family, until they realized they were foreigners. Before this had happen, Kaltenborn had plan on going back to America and leaving a good report about Germany.
Quote:
"From the perspective of his role as ambassador, he found these attacks, more nuisance than dire emergency and in fact tried whenever possible to limit press attention." He is not informing others about the incidents that have been occurring. He also is doing other wrong choices like not attending the Nazi party. This is showing how Dodd really was not the person to be the ambassador.

Part Three- In the Garden of Beasts
Summary: Part three begins with Dodd and his family traveling Germany and Austria and visiting various cities nearby. Martha witnesses an event where Nazis and their supporters criticize and ostracize a young woman for wanting to marry a Jewish man. They treat the woman like a toy. Another attack on an American happens because the boy didn’t salute a Storm Trooper. Martha has a series of affairs with many men, of different countries.
Paraphrase: “nigger- Jew jazz” is a racial discrimination of a Jewish type of Jazz music. They use the term “nigger” with it to add to the racial hate and tension.
Quote: “The Storm Troopers emerged from the lobby and dragged the woman away toward another hotel.” (97) The woman being dragged is a German woman that wants to marry a Jewish man. She is being punished by public shaming because marrying a Jew would make her impure. This is important because these public shamings had been going on under the radar during Hitler’s rise to power.

Summery:
Part three of Larson’s book is about what is happening to American citizens in Hitler’s Germany at this time. They are being beaten on a regular basis, averaging about twice per month. The book shows a trend of beatings at the Nazi parades, in which the American citizens are either mistaken for Jews, or of Jewish descent, or they failed to give the Hitler salute. In the book the victims are beaten and the culprits are either provided a loop hole, or are ignored. Part three also provides Martha’s perspective on the German state, although her perspective is far more care free. Martha’s perspective of Germany is mainly based on her experience with German men, and the final decision of Germany is decided in the bedroom.
Quote:
“The Incidents will continue.”
This quote summed up the whole section of the book in a short four word summery. The Germans continued to abuse American citizens, and Martha continued to ignore the facts and fornicate around. The incidents did continue at a steady rate of two per month. German Nazi’s would find an American citizen, call them out, and then beat them, the perpetrators would often get out of the situation scot-free.
Paraphrase:
The third part of the book is after the Dodds have gotten settled in Germany, and are dealing with the many problems that are being caused. German beatings of Americans are the biggest problems, even though the American Government is trying to cover it up, the Germans are damaged in American public opinion. Meanwhile, Martha is still fooling around with her many men, and ignoring the incidences around her, passing them off as sporadic and unrelated.
