As an accommodator, my failure to stand up for myself leads to unfavorable outcomes in situations I find…

He was given a false name so that he was able to escape from the searching of Nazis. I think he was lucky, and he did not lived in Ghettos before so that he would never know how terrible the Ghettos were. Another Holocaust…
