Loss of Rights


“But new edicts were already being issued.We no longer had the right to frequent restaurants or cafes,to travel by rail, to attend synagogue then the ghettos.” - Night, p. 11
I think that Nazis are wrong for telling the Jews that they can’t go to restaurants for who they are. It is like telling Nazi they can’t go here  because they believe something different than everybody else. I also think they wrong taking their rights to go cafes. What if Nazis went to a cafe and the owner said no you all can’t eat or drink here because all you are a Nazis and I don’t accept  your kind here. So I think they are messed up for taking Jews rights and putting them on railroad carts and sending them to the ghettos to prepare them to be killed.
This is like when the “whites” put the “blacks” into slavery, and how all the people in the south didn't let the “blacks” in their restaurants or in their cafes. So when the Nazis started taking the Jews’ rights away it reminded me of the “whites” taking the “blacks” rights away in putting them into slavery. Then also the Jews were moved away from the other races and the “blacks” were moved from the “whites.” One other thing is both Jews and “blacks” were called all type of names and race things they could think of. This would fall under theme victims because Jews was victims of the rules Hitler and the Nazis made of they was also victims of the final solution. The blacks was victims of slavery.

  1. You bring up a good comparison. Jesse Jackson once said "In many ways, history is marked as 'before' and 'after' Rosa Parks. She sat down in order that we all might stand up, and the walls of segregation came down."

    Do you believe just one person standing up for his or her rights (or even the rights of others) can change the world?
