Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.70 The Holocaust, Human Rights, and Postwar Institutions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which thesis best answers the skill question about U.S. responses to the Holocaust, Nuremberg, the United Nations, and human rights?

AU.S. policy was only isolationist and had no postwar international role

BThe Holocaust caused no changes in legal or rights language

CThe United States solved the refugee crisis completely before 1939

DU.S. responses were mixed: wartime rescue and admissions were limited, while postwar trials and institutions helped build accountability and human-rights norms

Solution & Explanation:This thesis accurately combines the limits of wartime response with the significance of postwar legal and institutional action.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Stimulus: A student says, 'The Displaced Persons Act proved that the United States fully solved the refugee crisis.' Which revision is most historically accurate?

AThe act admitted no one and had no connection to refugees

BThe act was passed before World War I

CThe act expanded admission for many displaced persons but still reflected selective categories and limits

DThe act replaced the Nuremberg tribunal

Solution & Explanation:The act was important but limited, so a nuanced claim must include both expansion and selectivity.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Stimulus: A student compares the War Refugee Board with Nuremberg. Which assessment best distinguishes rescue from accountability?

ABoth were agencies that wrote the Universal Declaration

BThe War Refugee Board tried to save people before the war ended; Nuremberg judged perpetrators after the war

Solution & Explanation:The board and Nuremberg had different purposes and timing: wartime rescue versus postwar prosecution.
