But in Hungry the Jewish population made it through better than most. The Hungarian Jews experience through the Holocaust was unique and this helped them survive for most of the war. The Jews in Hungry were the most adapted to the culture of the Hungarian people. They spoke their language and revised their beliefs to make sure they could be…

Hitler in many ways was very smart and crafty. From convincing all of Germany to turn against the jews, to corrupting the minds of the innocent children. The whole campaign to take over Germany was thoroughly thought out and planned. He was very powerful and such an iconic image, he even had support from the young children. Hitler corrupted the education system to teach anti-semitic ideas to expand the amount of recruits for his army. To begin Hitler’s campaign, he had took over the education…

A majority of people seem to agree the Wagner was an anti-Semite. Among those people, a debate has emerged as to the place of Wagner’s music in our current society. Over the course of this essay I attempt to make sense of this debate and try come to a conclusion about what place Wagner’s music should have in the 21st Century.

Many Jews tried to immigrate to countries like Palestine and America but were met with strict immigration laws. Once they were able to immigrate and begin a new life, most tried to tell their stories and keep their legacy alive.

In some rare cases, they found former neighbours living inside their homes and shops and the new inhabitants of these former Jewish property made it very clear that Jews were not welcomed back. Even after Hitler was dead, German Citizens were convinced that Jews were the reason that Germany was a disaster (Historyplace.com, 2010). Was this…

Polish Holocaust films have been around since the end of World War II and they have been a topic of conversation ever since. They 're a topic of controversy not only because they are simply about the holocaust, but the feelings between Poles and Jews has been almost a topic of taboo up until the fall of communism and the release of Jan T. Gross 's book “Neighbors”. Being that this is such a sensitive topic to many people, we need to look and try to understand if there is bias in any of the…

as “a never ending quest to get to the bottom of things” (Marrus, 2016, p. 174). In the book Lessons of the Holocaust, Michael R. Marrus discusses how the Holocaust, like all important events in history, must be learned, debated and interpreted for new generations. He argues, that there are no set lessons to be learned from the Holocaust since its meaning is not fixed. Marrus talks about historians and how they no longer converse about such issues, as they once used to, including the lessons of…

After reading the book How Soccer Explains the World, there were many chapters that hit very close to my heart, causing me to feel emotion. The chapter that affected me the most and was very moving to me was How Soccer Explains the Jewish Question. "An entire movement of Jews believed that soccer and sport generally, would liberate them from the violence and tyranny and anti-Semitism." That quote is incredibly powerful and liberating.

Most of the Jews live on Kingston Avenue, between Troy Avenue and New York Avenue. The six blocks of Kingston between Eastern Parkway and Empire Boulevard are home to many Jewish community-related places, and Hasidic owned stores, some of them which cater to the Jewish needs for kosher food, religious texts, and…
