I'm Stuck

Putting my project together is trickier than i thought. So I know that I am going to compare American treatment of Japanese to Hilter's treatment of Jews and other groups. I have plenty of visual primary sources, but i am unsure of how to put everything together on a prezi. Basically all i have right now are pictures and my essential question. I dont know how or where i should put my information. Could anyone give me ideas?

Japanese Internment

I know wikipedia is not a primary source, but it has a lot of good information on Japanese American internment during WWII. It has plenty of pictures that can be primary sources and gives a lot of insight on a subject that i had no idea existed. Definitely worth looking at if your essential question is on Japan.

Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_American_internment

WWII/ The Holocaust Project

For this project my three objectives are:
1. Analyze the decision to use the atomic bomb and consequences of doing so.
2. Compare the varying perspectives of victims, survivors, rescuers, and perpetrators during the holocaust.
3. Explain how WWII and the holocaust led to the creation of the international organizations to protect human rights, and describe the subsequent impact of those organization.

I think i might want to do a Prezi, a poster, or a website. I'm still not sure what i will do to make the website, but its an idea.

Primary sources i am going to use are Facing the Lion by Simone Liebster, Crucible of Terror by Max Liebster, and maybe Unbroken Will by Leopold Engleitner. All are book sources. I know of some videos that can be primary sources like The Purple Triangle.

WWII

Reading about the way the Japanese treated their enemies during WWII definitely makes you think. It made me wonder whether or not the treatment against them was justified. Some of the tactics they used against the Chinese and other soldiers of the Allied Powers were so brutal that it made me sick just thinking about it. Just wondering what other people thought....

Essential Q

Was the treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII justified or an unfortunate setback for democracy?
