Anger and Humiliation

Choose two points of this program that you think are especially unfair. Why are they unfair? Which ones do you have questions about?

4. German blood as a requirement for german citizenship. No Jew can be a member of the nation.
8. No further immigration of non-germas. Any non-German who entered Germany there after August 2nd 1914 shall leave immediately.

I think both of these rules are un fair. 'No Jew can be a member of the nation.' (Part of rule number 4) For me this is really terrible rule. Did the americans block out the Jewish people? Why the Jews? Why not the Buddhist, the Muslims, the Hindus, all the other religions? What did they do ? They are the same as everyone but they just have a couple different beliefs, it doesn't mean you have to put them in concentration camps because they have different beliefs.

I also have to disagree with rule number 8. 'No further immigration of non-Germans.' Why is it like that, what if it is a life or death situation? What if these 'Non-Germans' have no other choice? What if their family is dying in Germany and they need to give them life support? It really is just not fair. Most countries allow this why does Germany have to be against it?

If you had been on the train, do you think you would have said or done anything? Have you or someone you know ever had a similar experience?
