Dbq 4 The Jewish People

“How did a battalion of middle-aged reserve policemen find themselves facing the task of shooting some 1,500 Jews in the Polish village of Josefow in the summer of 1942” (Browning, 3)? This question is asked in the beginning of Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 written by Christopher Browning, a historian and famous author. This compelling book tells the real story of the German Order Police throughout the two world wars, specifically World War Two. However, he mainly focuses on one particular group, the Reserve Police Battalion 101. In this group contained lower to middle class middle aged men who were too old to be helpful to the German Army so were put into the Order Police (Browning, 1). He uses this particular battalion to prove his thesis correct. By using the word ordinary,

Jewish relations with Rome were less than ideal and the continued jabs from the Roman Empire, specifically, the crazed behavior from Emperor Caligula, did nothing but make them worse. The taxes that were imposed upon the Judeans were just one of the malicious acts of the Romans, they also took over the appointment of the High Priest which infuriated the Jews, and demonstrated no respect for the Temple or Judaism, which eventually led to the revolt. While no one can blame the Jews, in retrospect, it was considered to be most likely a huge mistake (Jewish Virtual Library, n.d.). The consequences were many for the Jews as a result of the Jewish Revolt, including the mass murder of thousands of Jewish people, slavery, destruction of the Temple,

Extermination was the strategic word with the Nazis Party. Adolf Hitler and his followers repeatedly use this word to drum up the connotation of Jewish people being less than human. By making people believe that the Jewish people were “of an inferior race that multiples like vermin” then it would make murdering them easier (Doc3). Furthermore, Hitler used fear to gather more support. He expresses that the Jews were masterminding a way to get rid of the Aryans (Doc 2).

from their loved ones, stripped of their identities, and bombarded with harsh conditions. This serves as a reminder of the Nazi’s inhumanity and the extent that human cruelty can be reached. This scene portrays the resilience and courage of survivors like Elie. It highlights the need to remember and honour those who have gone through this. Takeaway:

Looking over this picture it makes me think of how badly the Jews were treated and how bad they wanted to escape. Jews had been beaten, neglected, and starved. They were taken away from their families and some even killed in front of their loved ones. They would not even stay at one place for very long, they would travel from camp to camp because of the war. It is terrible how they could take someone because they were a Jew and not even know anything about them. It is not that the Jew did anything wrong it is simply just because they are Jews.

b. Jews generally assumed from the prophets that in order for Gentiles to come to learn of their God they would need to become proselytes and follow their Jewish religion as well c. Because Gentiles did not follow Mosaic food laws the Jews would tend to not associate with them d. The Jews also had various prejudices against Gentiles and their culture that often contradicted their Jewish traditions 58. Saul was present at Stephen’s stoning, and he began dragging Christians from their houses and committing them to prison 59. Phillip, one of the seven whom the apostles had laid hands on, went to Samaria where he preached Christ and performed signs and miracles of healing and casting out unclean spirits a. This is the second case of someone besides

The people scared to look behind them, in fear of what they may see, did exactly what the Nazi demanded. The poor mothers and children dressed in shorts and skirts almost frozen to death, just a jacket wasn’t enough to keep you warm in this weather. The soldiers just

Beginning in the early 1930’s, the Nazi party found ways to hurt Jewish people, economically, emotionally, and physically. Official laws and decrees were made to ensure the economic and legal downfall of Jewish people. Jews were exempted and expelled from their professions and practices, stripped of education, revoked from their citizenship, and much more. Jews were also physically harmed; Nazis brutally and inhumanely attacked and molested Jews of all ages and genders. Being physically and legislatively attacked took a toll on the Jewish people. The emotional trauma and scars would be permanent. Growing up being taught that you are inferior or deserved to be beaten and stoned is horrendous for oneself. The Nazis were purposely abusive to

One thing that stood out to me was how the rest of the World put a limitation on Jewish immigration when the Jewish refugees tried to escape from Hitler’s take over. In 1924, the United States passed the Johnson-Reed Act which restricted immigration based on national quotas. President Herbert Hoover went has far to bar the mentally disabled from coming into America. In 1936, an Arab general strike occurred to protest Jewish immigration. Recession and revolt meant a decline in immigration certificates, even for Jews in Europe. Due to this increased violence, the White Paper of May 1939 which put limitations on Jewish immigration to Palestine so that the Jews would never outnumber the Arabs. The Arabs were worried about the Jews taking over Palestine

From 1880-1924, in order to escape persecution from Alexander the II’s reign and anti-Semitism, Russian Jews emigrated to America to escape a wave of religious persecution, a chance at a new life spurred on by the economic turmoil caused by industrialization, and for economic reasons. They arrived during, "The New Immigration" the wave of immigration that lasted from 1880-1924. A vast majority of the Jews settled on the East coast in places such as Manhattan, Boston, and Philadelphia. They also settled in other larger more industrialized and urbanized cities such as Chicago, Seattle and Detroit. The jobs Russian Jews held were mostly low skilled trades such as tailors and butchers or even worked in the early sweatshops.

What is Judaism? Who are Jews? Judaism is considered one of the oldest and most popular monotheistic religions today. Judaism’s followers are called Jews and they have been through many tough challenges and trials but are still able to proudly identify themselves as Jews. Jewish beliefs, customs, history, holidays, symbols, and the holocaust are just a few of the things that make Jews who they are.

I did have a few questions that I was curious about that I wanted to ask Mr. D. As stated earlier, I wanted to know why he consider being Jewish as his race and religion. He stated that his parents taught him that at a young age that being Jewish was his race and religion. He did say that he know other races that are Jewish but it was kind of hard for him to accept that. Like I said before, Jewish people consider themselves as a family and according to Mr. D’s Jewish family, all of them where white. I can understand why he thinks the way he thinks about Jews as a race, I had to consider what time period his parents and Mr. D grew up in. Mr. D and his parents grew up in a time where races did not mixed with each other. So, it would be hard for Mr. D to see other races as Jews, because when he grew up everybody in the Jewish faith was white and his parents did not tell him any differently. I was curious about that because after reading Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz’s (2013) reading, I wanted to know why Mr. D consider it to be his race and religion. The reading states that Jews are not a race, but it is a religion. The article talked about how many other people of color believe in the Jewish faith and that anyone can believe in the faith. I just needed clarification to why Mr. D thought that.

Throughout the history of the world, the Jewish people have been persecuted and oppressed because of their religious beliefs and faith. Many groups of people have made Jews their scapegoat. Jews have suffered from years of intolerance because people have not understood what the religion really means. They do not understand where and why the religion began, nor the customs of it's people. For one to understand the great hardships, triumphs, and history of the Jewish people one must open-mindedly peruse a greater knowledge of the Jewish people and faith.
