To be Jewish was to inherently be underserving of natural rights and freedoms. In Adolf Hitler's attempts to eradicate the Jewish population, he utilized propaganda to…

Readers can see the inner conflict Claudette faces through the phrases she constantly tells herself, “Mouth shut, I repeated, shoes on feet” (“The Monster Dwells at the Gates of Difference” 231). Claudette has to remind herself to stay within the lines of feminine normality defined by the nuns. This says a lot about the societal view of the woman, which can easily be described as a mindset that women were…
