During Hitler's reign of terror, many of the Jewish people were seeking and making refuge in other countries. What they didn't know was that most of the countries were controlled by Germany and weren't looking for round two with Hitler and the Nazi's. Those who weren't already run by Germany, took as many as 30,000 Jewish people but turned away as many as 30,000. Most were snuck out and onto boats that were sailing to America and whenever they got there, the majority couldn't get in because they were denied visas. After the reign of terror was over, we looked at nearly 140,000 Jews entered Israel safely.

I think the Jews should had haved special privilages with their visas during those times.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that they excepted many Jews, but i think it was harsh that they turned some away.
ReplyDeleteThat was a horrible thing that America didn't let the Jews in. But at least a few got away, it would've been great if America granted them visas though.
ReplyDeleteThis article is a little hard to follow; but other than that good information
ReplyDeleteWe should have let them in so they could live!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that it's right how they treated the Jews.
