Peter Gay, a German Jew, escaped Nazi Germany just prior to the mass execution toward people of the Jewish faith that is now formally known as the Holocaust. Gay detailed this process in his memoir My German Question Growing up in Nazi Berlin. Like many Jews living as German constituents during the 1930’s, Gay’s family was hesitant to leave their home due to Hitler’s radical rise to power.

Nazis, was the one who want to get rid of all the Jews, just like what cats usually did to mice, they chase after the mice and kill it. The pigs, which represent the Polish, was not even doing anything to help the Jews in the story. The Americans were presented as dogs, which usually the one chasing after

In the Warsaw Ghettos surviving was nearly impossible. The Jews lived in very confined spaces that were around 1.3 square miles and seven to eight people resided in each incredibly compact room. 146,000 people were forced into one square kilometre. Due to the lack of food and diseases, from 1940 to the middle of 1942, 83,000 Jews passed away. In April 1941, the mortality rate reached 6,000 deaths per month. The illnesses spread mostly because of the small spaces and lack of sanitation. Typhus

From 1000 B.C.E. to 100 C.E. the Jews generally did not have much power. Throughout this time period the Jews were either attempting to gain power, under someone else’s power, or losing their previously achieved status in power. However, in defining power as military strength, the ability to maintain distinctiveness from other people, or the ability to shape people’s practices and beliefs, the amount of power the Jews had fluctuated slightly, but mostly remained low. If power is strictly define by

During the Holocaust, over 6 million Jews died. Only 3% of all of the Jews that Hitler and his Nazis abducted lived. Ordinary people like Ernie Feld and Werner Klemke helped save at least a dozen Jews in the time period but in very different ways. This proves that everyone can be a Hero.

of people that would transport Jews by boat into neutral Sweden. Fisherman could carry groups of Jews across the Kiaer Line, which was the route they took to Sweden's coast. This was one of the first rescue operations in Denmark. In less than one month, the Elsinore Sewing Club saved over seven thousand Jews. This operation came at great personal risk, however, and Erling Kiaer ended up losing his own life. However, only five hundred of the eight thousand Danish Jews ended up being deported to a ghetto

opinions towards the religion of Judaism. They believed that Jews were to blame for the death and murder of their Savior, Jesus Christ, and that the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 CE was their Divine Punishment from God.

the discrimination towards Jews, and he is shielded by his parents, but at times he is able to identify injustice. Bruno wants to ‘crawl under the fence so he and Shmuel can play together’. This demonstrates his innocence. However, when Kotler beat up Pavel, Bruno watched and ‘it made him cry’. This shows how Bruno can make out that Kotler is doing wrong, but doesn’t exactly understand that it is discrimination. Bruno is totally unaware towards the discrimination of Jews. This can be seen in many

statement made by Anne Frank “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart” I agree with this statement due to the fact that although in The Holocaust many Jews were being hurt, Many Germans didn’t have an opinion on the topic and if they ever did say something they were ignored.
