Jews

            World War II started only 27 years after the first World War that was essentially supposed to end all wars. This War would last for six years, evolve more than two hundred countries, cost fifty million lives and have an effect on almost three quarters of the world's population. However, the most demoralizing tragedy of this war was merely the world being blind to the numerous accounts of brutality and all the horrific deeds that were inflicted upon the Jews during this time. Most people believe today that it was only the Nazi regime that killed and viciously mistreated the Jews. I am going to tell you about a book called Neighbors which show how people of Poland called Poles imposed many indecent and appalling things to the Jews that they have lived with for many years. .
             There are many reasons why the Poles of Jedwabne murdered all of the Jews in their town. On this tragic day in Jedwabne there were only seven Jews who were not violently killed. .
             There are many different arguments in this book and many different views with whom actually made this horrible day take place. One of the main reasons that all of the Jews were killed on this day was because of Hitler's Nazi regime made the Jedwabne kill the Jews of their town. A very important argument in the book says how the Germans were, "At the time the overall undisputed bosses over life and death in Jedwabne and they were the only ones who could decide the fate of the Jews" (Neighbors, pg. 47). This clearly states that the Germans were in charge in Jedwabne and it was within only their power to do what they pleased with the Jews. Later on in the book there are records of a lot of Germans being in Jedwabne. "There were a substantial number of Germans in Jedwabne on the day of the murder" (Neighbors, pg. 50). Even though there were not any cases of the Germans carry out murderous deeds on the Jews there were many inquiries of them being there.
