  Introductory/History

    The Holocaust began in the early 1930's. Hitler was the main reason this all started. Adolph Hitler took all of the Jews and anyone else he thought would get in the way of his plans away from their homes and family. The soldiers would take all of their belongings and them load them into trains.They were then brought  to concentration camps. Some people were not very fortunate at all. They were taken straight to the gas chambers to be killed immediately. The more fortunate ones were sent to work camps. The Nazi soldiers would torture them in the concentration camps and they would work them to death. Most of them died of slave labor. The Jews and everyone elsewhere forced to stay at the concentration camps and just wait to die. The death camps were there just to kill the Jews and everyone else.

  Scientist
    Roentgen Wilhelm Conrad was a scientist from 1845-1923.  He was born in Lennep, Germany in 1845.  His dad's name was Friedrich Conrad Roentgen.  His mom's name was Charlotte Forwein Roentgen.  Roentgen Wilhelm Conrad got his mechanical engineering degree at the Federal Institute of Technologyin Zurich, Switzerland, in 1868.  He also got his P.H.D degree in physics at the University of Zurich in 1869.  Roentgen Wilhelm Conrad was also an engineer worker as a laboratory assistant at the University of Wurzburg.  He was also a teacher that later became a professor in physics.  He invented the x-ray on November 8, 1895.  Conrad was a physicist from Germany.
    It was November 8, 1895, Roentgen Wilhelm Conrad was playing with a set of cathode ray instruments and was stunned to find a blinking image cast by his instruments seperated from them by some distance.  He knew that what he he saw wasn't being cast by the cathode rays.  After some observing, Roentgen Wilhelm Conrad named the new rays "X".  He named them "X" because he wanted to indicate that the rays were unknown.

    Hans Wilhelm Geiger was another scientist from 1900's. He was born on September 30, 1882. He is from Neustadt-an-der-Haardt, Germany. He created the Geiger Counter which is another advanced x-ray type. It was used to detect ionizing radioactivity (including gamma rays and x-rays). What it does is it counts the radioactive particles that pass through the device. He attended University of Erlangen, University of Tubingen, and the University of Munich. His career began in science when he started working for Ernest Rutherford, a British physicist. Ernest Rutherford discovered from Geiger's work that radioactive elements can transform into other elements and that atoms have a nucleus.
    The Geiger Counter that Hans Wilhelm Geiger has invented has influenced many lives. It influenced many lives because its making people believe that they can do anything if you put your mind to it.
