When Jewish families were arrested and taken to a camp, at what age were their children not gassed, and instead considered old enough to work? Ten? Fifteen?

I heard that children weren't called up by the Central Office for Jewish Emigration to go to "work" camps before they were fifteen, but what about when they were just arrested? Like, if they'd been in hiding or something?

Thank you very much.

Is there anything worse than the cries of a child's torture?
Is there anything worse than a child's cries?
Every night you can hear them if you open your ears
Devices dreamed up to bring suffering to lives both great and small
succeed in countries both rich and poor
They are not all happy
They die not only in war
But even over there they cry
From the instruments of torture
In the States electroshock sends sparks from the hands of paedophiles
Don't you hear the cries of torture?
They are small and so young
They have teddy bear shaped pillows
and yet they cry
They're cries of torture.
If you open your ears to listen, you can hear them
They're heart-rending
If you open your eyes, you can see them,
their pain-wracked faces.
A thousand eyes,
but who sees them?
They're far away,
but they cry
and powerful hands silence them.
Is there anything worse than the cries of a child's torture?

Obviously an actor can improve greatly through training, but do you think that you could take a bad actor and turn him into a great one... or do you think it is mostly instinct.

I think its instinct, but i'd like to hear your opinions
thanks

The approach of another world war caught the U.S. largely unprepared. Having just emerged from the Great Depression, there was little time to recruit and train a military, which the nation preferred to avoid. However, the threats from fascism and communism made modern military and technology necessary. The adjustments made during World War II left the U.S. as a superpower afterwards, both economically and militarily. How do economic conditions affect art and culture? Why was America reluctant to join the Allies in World War II? Why can it be said that the war was won by Rosie the Riveter? Was the use of atomic weapons on Japan justified? Why was America both an economic and military superpower after World War II?

Me and my friends really want to produce a broadway musical in our school's theater. We have the vocal/chord book and script. We know the blocking/etc. Would we still get in trouble if we produced it without paying and not charge people to come watch us?

The musical is currently on broadway and touring.

Ok well it's only a couple of questions of which I think some people on here could answer for me. It would be really helpful if you did. Ok so the questions are;

*What was his primary type of artwork
* What materials did he use to make his art
* Style and period of his art
* Anything interesting you might know about him

Also, dont recommend wikepedia to me because I've already looked and re-looked multiple numbers of times for this information,its not there. Thank you!

Stand
Written By Semper Fi Reborn

She stared at the doctor,
In disbelief.
Seems shock had arrived
Before the grief.
What was the name,
Of this life thief?
All she could do was stand!

He came in smooth,
Like a romancer.
Had her tango for her life,
This wicked dancer.
His first name was Breast,
Last name Cancer.
She knew she had to stand.

She wouldn't give up,
Go on the lam.
She would beat this thing,
With a body slam.
So she went,
And got a new mammogram.
You should've seen her stand!

What a woman!
What a survivor!

I've gone through three or four photoshop elements 4.0 books, and don't find any of them really that helpful when it comes to explaining anything beyond the basics. (maybe because it's just hard to put together a manual for it). Does anyone have a favorite book or one they think is clear and concise? I've heard "Photoshop Elements 5.0: The Missing Manual" by Bunbridge is excellent, but I don't want to get the new software version just to get the book. I know you can't learn everything from a book, but I'd like to at least have one that was clearly written and illustrated.
