  1. Yes, you have the sizing idea! Good for you. Your questions are good, too, although I'd like you to think about bias in the second question. You ask "why didn't the Jews revolt against the nazis?" Perhaps the first question is "did the Jews revolt against the nazis?" In what ways? In the case of those who didn't, why didn't they?

    Do you see the inherent bias in that second question?

    I note that you haven't focused on your cluster, but if these questions are more interesting for you to pursue, they are certainly substantive and will do well for an investigation in the catalog and in the databases, when we get to them.
