Who is a Jew?

over time to become a large group of people who are connected by identifying as Jewish, but have very different ideas on what it means to be Jewish. Jews have been molded by their experiences and adapted to survive and overcome them one by one.

The gradual and systematic dehumanization of Jews started in Germany in 1933, and did not end until the fall of The Third Reich at the end of WWII.

The tracks of…

that all the locations that Paul wrote letters to also contained high percentages of Jewish people as well.

people. Jews were rendered unable to fight back due to their ignorance of what the Nazis really wanted, while their fellow Germans were absorbing all the “facts” the Nazis deplored against Jews. Even other countries didn’t understand what was happening because the Nazis covered the genocide by showing them how great the camps were for Jews. Fear and ignorance drove the world.
