If I were put in the position of a German citizen at the time I would like to believe that I would be able to stand up and say that what the Nazi’s were doing to the Jews was wrong.

While Jewish discrimination has always been prevalent, Jewish culture has its own ways of fighting back – most prominently demonstrated through the “soaring

had been a place where Jews were kept for a period of time before they were sent off to either concentration camps or death camps. Jews opposed to what Hitler was doing to maintain the country so, they would often try to rebel (Grant 111). This caused Hitler to feel the need to put the Jews in a distinct place.

Written in simple prose with a distinct lack of emotion that focuses exclusively on his time spent imprisoned, Rajchman provides a work that is masterful in its ability to portray the unbelievable brutality of Treblinka. Last Jew was originally written in Yiddish in 1945 with the expressed goal of telling others of what occurred at Treblinka

In Act 2 Scene 8 tension between the Christians and the Jews increase because the Jews were being called names by the Christians. This is proven when Solanio says “The villain jew with outcries raised the Duke”(2.8.4).

Hitler, leader of the Nazis and murderer of the Jews and countless others. Hitler got his point across to the Jews that he clearly did not want them around. He blamed them for the loss of World War II. In my opinion, I think he blamed them because they were not like him. When I say not like him I mean that they were not German or his race.

Elie Wiesel realizes he has to let go of his family to survive when the doctor says, “In this place there is no such thing as father, brother, friend”(110). This is dehumanizing because people are born needing a family to depend on and once they lose something as simple as that, they fall into a pit of negative emotions. Thousands

Protestantism, Luther’s attitude toward Jews is a matter of great concern. Some scholars, including Paul Johnson, an English journalist and famous historian, believes Luther is a brutal anti-Semite.
