Oscar had gone into the Hitler Youth and then finally went into the Nazi Army. Jack had moved to Israel to go into the navy, so for this it was really awkward for each other. Oscar really wasn't the nice one because he didn't like any races such as the Jewish people and Jack hated the Nazis, so it was like really awkward when they saw each other. “When the two met again at a German train station at age 21 they discovered they didn't particularly like each other.” …show more content…

So yes I do think that nature is how it shapes people's lives and how they think as
