Spiegelman is an impatient man with a hectic life.

Religious syncretism is when two or more religious belief systems are blended or combined into a new system. There are many reasons why religious syncretism happens.

For some outsiders it was like nothing was happening, because they were not affected by the actions done by the nazis so they might not have a problem with it. Where for other people who were…
