In my teen years, antisemitism was so common that I didn 't even want to accept my heritage and be Jewish anymore. Just seeing all my so called "friends and neighbors " listening to Hitler as I call him tayvl, which is Yiddish for DEVIL, and looking like they eagerly wanted to join up with him and his Nazis or as I call them tayvl knekht , which is Yiddish for DEVILS servants, I couldn 't stop cringing from the vileness seeping out of the people we grew up knew for our whole life.I sort of felt envy because no matter what I would always be the one who was oppressed and It almost pushed me over the edge when people would call me "smelly Jew". At that point, I didn 't even knew what to do with my life. I would cry to myself day in and day out and I would neglect everything thing and my mother and were extremely concerned with my wellbeing. One week, they took me to a clinic because my body just shutdown.But even worse, the day I almost couldn 't take it anymore was when my dad went to the U.S but we couldn 't join him because didn 't have papers.

Modern anti-Semitism was at its worst point after the civil war and the reconstruction era in American history circa 1860s-1940s. Anti-Semitism, according to social scientist, seems to be declining since WWII and some historians even argue that American Jews no longer face any type of prejudice. The discrimination of Jews from 1860s till the 1940s was seen in two forms, practical and ideological. Many Jews in the period after reconstruction faced physical discrimination, such as being excluded from hotels, universities, fraternities, hospitals, and also faced much social discrimination (Katz, 144). Ideological anti-Semitism affects the lives of Jews as well; people talking about Judaism in a negative way, and the way in which Jews were portrayed in the media.

Ever since I was young, I have always heard someone talking about Marquette. Part of this may be due to the fact that three of my neighbors have gone to Marquette and have absolutely loved it. Adding on to that, I have met even more people that have gone to Marquette that have really liked it and are usually successful in life. I met even more people at the Marquette open house that were from all over the United States and said they went to Marquette and they hope their child will attend Marquette as well.

Your name is who you are; it’s the essence of your being. You and your name will go through thick and thin, young and old, and life and death together. You two are forever inseparable, like brother and sister, white on rice, or a fat boy and triple chocolate cake. My name happens to be Mykel. To many people I encounter in life, phonetically pronounce my name as “Michael,” “Mukal,” or even “Mah-Kawyll” by my Southern eleventh grade AP English teacher, Ms. Clawson, who always butchered my name with different pronunciations for the first two months of the quarter, and somehow managed to make it sound similar to an imitation crow call by an amateur bird caller.

Anti-Semitism is a noun defined as hostility to or prejudice against Jews. This considered form of racism is extremely hurtful in the sense that it shames the followers of the Jewish religion; furthermore, this intense hatred can more than likely become physically or verbally violent. The issue showed its severity during World War II while Adolf Hitler was in power over Germany. Approximately six million Jewish men, women, and children were murdered in the course of what is known as The Holocaust. Jewish families were ripped apart and sent to different work grounds, also known as concentration camps.

Although I have never committed an act of violence nor treated others with hatred, I was persecuted by the Nazis along with the rest of my family when I was five years old. Soldiers told me it was because of my sinful religion, so just because I was Jewish I was against everything German. However, I simply could not understand why I was loathed by my own home country. I thought that since I had grown up in Germany, was of German descent, and spoke German that I would be considered German. To my surprise, the Nazi’s treated German Jews the same as Jews in conquered territories by boycotting Jewish-businesses, forbidding marriage between us Jews and other Germans, and strpping us of our German citizenship.

Jews were oppressed in whatever aspect people got their self-identity and self-worth from. Today, antisemitism is much less prevalent, but there is still an abundance of religious persecution, especially in the Middle East. ISIS, the most prominent terrorist organization in the world, is killing anyone and everyone who isn 't Muslim. Also, the general philosophy of the past century has been that any demographic that stands out from the rest is bad. In order for religious discrimination (including antisemitism) to become less of an issue, people of all ages, races, and walks of life need to be aware that outside of their little world, there is a much bigger scheme of
