Good post, I was able to comprehend the m...Andrew,<br /><br />Good post, I was able to comprehend the meaning of the sentences in the book.<br /><br />To begin with, you said that the sentence of the hanging Nazi flag was about the confusion of the people, since they could wonder what happened to their town. This was the sentence that caught my attention since it made me think.<br /><br />In my opinion, you are completely correct about the explanation. In the sentence, you can see that the Nazi flag was standing in the town before the war, meaning that the Nazis were still getting ready. If a town was captured by the Nazis before the war, I can see why the citizens would be confused. An example that will make you understand better is, if a Jew goes into a Jewish town before a war is declared and sees that there is a Nazi flag in the town hall, he will be extremely confused, since he knows that the Jews didn't declare war. Furthermore, he does't know if the Nazi's surprise attacked or attacked by accident, making the person very confounded. <br /><br />A idea that makes me disagree with you about the confusion is Hitler. Since Hitler was known for his horrifying military acts in his dictatorship, then people all over the world would know that he exists. Continuing, if a Jew saw a Nazi flag in a town, he would think it is normal, since in that time, Hitler was investing a lot at the military, meaning that he could raid a village and conquer it. So in conclusion, the Jews might have not been confused in the book because of Hitler's infamous acts.<br /><br />A question I have is, did my thinking help you? The reason I ask this is because I wanted you to see if the vision of "fearing Hitler's military" is another meaning the sentence can have.<br /><br />DanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896588589550157740.post-79259073893629541162014-10-13T15:36:39.318-07:002014-10-13T15:36:39.318-07:00Just to expand on your analysis on reading this bo...Just to expand on your analysis on reading this book what was the motives for the Nazis killing the jews and all these tragic stories that went down in history. According to "The Nazi hatred of the Jews" There has been an extensive history of christianity and Judaism having lots of conflict. Even Jews and Non-Jews had conflict because of the social and economic relations between Jews wherever there has been substantial communities of the Jewish population and non-Jews around them. This shows that the Nazis were bound to do something sooner or later even if the Jewish people did not see it coming.

Just like Spielegman put as cat and mouse. Cat and mouse are always rivals, except that the cat (Nazis) are bigger and stronger than the mice (Jews).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896588589550157740.post-62959722431254334752014-10-13T04:23:22.419-07:002014-10-13T04:23:22.419-07:00Andrew:

I just wanted to add that even though the jews were already scared and they fear the germans, in the early years of the war they didn´t know about what was happening. Nobody told them about the germans´ thoughts and the plans they had. The Jews were really confused about what was happening and I think this is what the first and second line want to tell us: The confusion Vladek was feeling. Why do people wanted to kill Jewish people with no good reason? This one was Vladek´s question. <br />Good job. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
