During the Holocaust unit, I learned a variety of information on what jewish people had to go through. On March 18, 1933 Jewish lawyers/notaries can no longer practice in Berlin. This means that only jewish lawyers are unable to work in Berlin. Another incident in 1934 Jewish actors and actress were prohibited from performing which took away many jobs and entertainment values. On November 15, 38 only Jewish children were not allowed to attend to public which resulted in homeschool. The Nazis main goal was to take away the things that people need to live or enjoy life.
I think the monument was built out of respect of the people who died or experienced a tradgedy because of religion and example for us to reflect and not be in the situation that happened in the past. Currently, I feel with new the administration things seem to be leading us into another holocaust. I feel with "building a wall" and restricting certain countries enter the country, will cause a war between countries. I think this monument was to keep remind us to learn from the past and do better now.
Over the years I noticed the laws became more irrelevant than before, from taking jobs away to taking freedom of the Jews. Later on many people were unable to get to work due to the take away of Jewish drivers license, which means they won't be able to get income to take care of their family. Another law that was passed in 1939 was "Jews can be thrown out of their homes without notice and without compensation and placed in appointed 'Jew homes'." Laws became more harsh towards all Jewish people. Their freedom was conquered everything they did was in the hands of Hitler and the Nazis. Many innocent people died because they were the scapegoat of Germany's broken economy
The restrictions i would have the most trouble with are the curfews , not being able to use a telephone, needing the police apporval to leave neighborhoods, not having pets or going to school. Without the things that I metioned I would be very unhappy. Curfews will restrict me for having more fun to explore. The only way to communicate is through telephone if I don't have that I won't be able to know what is going on with people that are important to me. I feel that having a police say yes or no to go somewhere would be unfair especially if a guardian approves. Not having pets would be a nightmare because I would very bored. Going is very fun for me because of the cool teachers and peers I have, and if I didn't go to school I would really have many friends.
