Ch 2 A Small Town in Germany
After reading chapter two, I felt really sad for what Marion's family had to go through. No person should have to live in fear for being a ethnicity, having a certain religion, or for any other reason. I can not believe how many Germans and others went along with Hitler's plan. It is extremely disheartening to know how people can be uncompassionate and selfish. I cannot understand how Hitler's plan was put into action and how far it went before anyone stepped in to stop it. The Blumenthal's must have had a hard time deciding on when they should leave because Germany because they didn't want to leave the grandparents but also were in fear for their own lifes and well being.

Indeed, no person should live in fear for being a certain ethnicity, race or disabled. There was a time when disabled people were highly marginalized.
ReplyDeleteIn fact that was the case in Nazi German. Hitler
oppressed the disabled as well as others.
Interesting comments thus far. I look forward to reading subsequent reflections. Try to work on developing though provoking questions.
