According to the film, Schindler 's List, the discrimination of Jews and the actions the Nazis took to expose them was non-expectant and unpredictable. Nazis would do…

The event that had a puzzling reaction and has often sparked many experiments to test how this event could have occurred is the Holocaust.

Ludi Romani, the authentic terms used in referring to the Roman Games, were originally a religious festival held annually within Rome starting in 226 B.C.E.
