Ever heard of the Minnesota Starvation Experiment? I hadn’t either, until I saw thewebsite of student Ella Hoch Robinson，the National History Day 2018 winner in the Juniors Individual Website category. It is a fact that during WWII, 100 conscientious objectors volunteered and were chosen for this year-long study that – while ethically problematic – provided scientific data that was then used to better treat famine war victims as well as those who suffer from anorexia. It’s an odd bit of history, but that’s what I love about the National History Day competitions – there’s always somethingnew学习关于！
我担任法官在地方和全州NHD比赛，这是不容易的演出。学生们把他们的整个的心，他们的项目，它显示;它可以是非常难以知道他们中的一些将不会进展到下一轮的比赛中，尽管他们的热情和良好的工作。What I like about judging is not only that I always learn something, but I love seeing the engagement by students—their passion is evident, and I’m pretty sure they’d talk to you about their topic all day long, except for judging time limitations. Their enthusiasm comes from focusing on a topic they chose, delivered in a format they like (website, paper, documentary, performance, exhibit), and then presenting their project and answering questions about it.
参考书目，实际资源和使用的主要来源是一大片他们的研究和得分，这是伟大的，看到孩子们挖成与揭大资源上市。去年她的项目中使用的圣女贞德的字母的学生 - 谁知道这些是各地和容易获得？

Unfortunately, like the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, not all of history is pretty—in fact, much of it is not—but the only way to learn from the past is by remembering it and studying it.
