Czechoslovakia to a German puppet state. British Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain certainly was mistaken when
he stepped off a plane and declared that he and government leaders from France and Italy had acquired “peace
for our time“ from Hitler by giving Hitler permission to
take over southern Czechoslovakia [the “Sudetenland“].
The Nazi army entered the Sudetenland on October 1st
that year. [chap. 7]

Note: Yugoslavia is a country that existed from 1918 to
2003 and brought together various ethnic groups. Fighting
between these ethnic groups and the collapse of Communism in the early 1900s broke up Yugoslavia into individual
countries. These individual countries have continued to
change as the ethnic groups fight. Currently, the countries
of the former Yugoslavia are: Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia,
Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The
following map shows the area of Yugoslavia when it was
united as one country.

World War II: World War II is normally remembered as running from 1939 to 1945—from the time that England and
France declared war against Germany till Germany and
Japan gave up. However, on page 69 you will find that Miss
Agnes says the War began in 1938. It’s unclear whether
the author made a mistake, or whether she is deliberately
referring to the beginning of Germany’s hostilities. In
1938, Hitler annexed Austria in what is now called the
“Anschluss“; that was also the year that Hitler reduced

This week you and your children will read about Jesus’
death (Lesson 40) and resurrection (Lesson 41).
How important is the resurrection to Christianity? Does
it matter whether or not it really happened? Paul the apostle answers this question in 1 Corinthians 15. In short, the
bodily resurrection of Christ is foundational to Christianity.
If God exists, miracles are possible. The resurrection is the
best explanation for what happened, especially since all
alternative explanations fall short. Did the disciples steal
the body? Why would they do this then knowingly die for
a lie? Did they visit the wrong tomb? Then why didn’t the
authorities simply produce the body? Did the disciples
hallucinate the appearances of Christ? If so, then how did
so many people have the same hallucination at the same
time? Did Christ not really die on the cross, but merely
pass out then seemingly come back to life three days later? Based on the New Testament record of his sufferings,
as well as the diligence the Romans placed on making
sure an executed criminal was really dead, this explanation
lacks force. Also, are we supposed to believe that a severely beaten and injured Christ somehow escaped his tomb
by moving a heavy boulder by himself, then somehow got
past the Roman guards, then appeared as a risen glorified
savior to his followers? What happened to him after all
this? Did he just move to another part of the world? Given
the many problems with alternative explanations, the best
explanation is that Christ really did die, came back to life,
and appeared to many people.
