    when the question of what it meant to be a Jew was most fraught. The Holocaust was known, and becoming more so, but Israel would not be founded until 1948. American Jews were in difficult circumstances. On one hand, they had been spared the direct horrors suffered by European Jews who had been killed in the Nazi concentration camps; on the other, many were recent immigrants, like Sheldon Gross Bart’s father, and had lost relatives to the Holocaust.

    Hitler. As The United States of America begins a new presidential race, some Americans will be concerned with the possibility of a new Holocaust-like Era.

    distinguish a Jew from the rest. The importance cartoons had on on a child's perception can be further proven by an eighth grade student and their essay.
