- The Jews Before 1935
-
- The Jews are descendants of Abraham. It is said that whoever is a descendant of
- Abraham was blessed. The Jews were first started in Canaan a long time ago. They
- lived there for a while, but famine and drought came so they had to move to Egypt. They
- lived in Egypt in peace for a while but they were soon enslaved by the Egyptians. They
- were forced to make many of EgyptÆs great monuments and pyramids. Moses led them
- out of Egypt back into Canaan where many of the people broke up into different groups
- that were scattered across Canaan. They ventured farther and farther and went into many
- different countries including Jerusalem.

- The Treatment of Jews from 1935 - 1945
-
- The JewsÆ treatment after 1935 can be described as one of the worst acts against
- humans that has ever taken place on this earth. Jews were discriminated against, used in
- mass killings, subjected to the slander of Americans and other countries, and many other
- horrifying things.
- All the problems that America had were blamed on the Jews. The United States
- helped out a little bit, but it was nothing considering all of the other things other
- countries were doing because of our influence. For a while Jews were loaded onto big
- train carts and nobody knew where they were going, but it was soon found out that they
- were being shipped of the killing camps. Few Jews would ever make it out of these
- camps alive. The United States had the power to help stop the killing of Jews, but they
- did not try to do what was needed to save the Jews.
- Anti-Semitism spread like wild fire throughout the world. It was made much
- harder for Jews to get the visas they needed in order to get out of the country. Jewish
- students were usually not accepted into schools or allowed to get decent jobs. With all
- these problems the Jewish community had to face itÆs a wonder how they ever made it
- out alive.
-
-
- What was done to the Jews after 1945
-
- After 1945 the treatment of the Jewish community got much better. They were
- allowed more things and the mass killing were put to an end. Hitler was brought out of
- the picture and therefore provided the Jews with a better place in life.
- In order to help the Jewish people along the United Nations divided Palestine into
- two parts. One was the Arab nation and the other was Israel. There are now four million
- people in Israel. 83% of them are Jews, and the other 17% are Arabs. The official
- language of Israel is Hebrew. Since the Arabs were forced to give up some of their land
- to the Jews they have not been too happy with it. Since the lands were split up Israel has
- to continually fight against the Arabs in order to keep their land.
-
- How I would treat the Jews after 1945
-
- After seeing how the Jews were treated all this time I believe that they would
- deserve something for their losses. I think that I would give them land in return from
- their suffering during 1935 - 1945, but If I had to split up a country I would make sure
- that there were strict laws making sure that the other country wouldnÆt attack. If this
- were broken the United States would be forced to take up arms against the invading
- country.
- Another possibility would be to allow them into our country of other countries
- that would agree to this. They would be given jobs and there would be laws against
- racial segregation. I know that not everybody would follow the rules knowing that Jews
- are living next to them, but this could be better that having an all out war with two
- countries.
- Even with these two good choices I would try to do what the Jewish population
- would want to do. If they want to go their own way then I would try to help them, and if
- they wanted their own country I would see what I could do. The main point I would try
- to make through this is to let the Jews do what they wanted to do. I feel that this is the
- least that they deserve because of the treatment that they got during World War II.
