Jews Essay, Research Paper
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 Egypt s 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 Jews 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 it s a wonder how they ever made it
out alive.
What was done to the Jews after 1945
Aft
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 wouldn t 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.
