describing the importance of education and financial success to support their families. The Jewish culture also places emphasis on marriage and building a family to create the next generation. For the interview project I completed with a person from the Jewish community, she reported that family is a major part of her culture. The article written by Schlossberger & Hecker (1998), explains this point by saying, if a Jewish couple does not reproduce, Hitler wins in a sense. I found this extremely…
