To remove their star was to deny their faith. That was not an option! ___ There were penalties for removing the star. ___ Also, sadly, the SS at the time had rather de…tailed dossiers on just about everyone who frequented the synagogues for prayer, as their names were written down by the synagogue for record. A list of people who pray became a hit list. With their names already in hand, the stars pretty much became irrelevant (not to offend, just stating that it wasn't a big identifier once their names were out, etc) (MORE)
Myth. How old are you? WWII was officially ended in 1946. Truman signed the papers. He was one of our Presidents - in case the name is not familiar. Now there WAS Korea in 19…51 - but it's over too! Does it bother anyone else reading the question? What are our children learning is school - history-wise? - Editted: It is not a myth! The war ended in 1989. As far as west Europe and America is concerned it did end in 1946 as this was the date the fighting stopped and the papers were signed but in fact the rebelion against communisium that the Nazi's had set up continued until 1989. A second notable thing that happened in 1989 was the fall of the Berlin wall...in this year Germany was recreated by the immalgimation of West Germany and East Germany. Even if you choose to use the signing of papers to signify the end of the war then although they were signed in 1946 they did not come into effect until Germany excisted again.....i.e. 1989 re: What are our children learning is school - history-wise? Hopefully not the same things I was taught or you were taught.....some schools still teach there are 9 planets in the solar system...it is always a good idea to read up on things yourself before presuming your education was correct.

Truthfully the answer to this question is really based on how you look at it. My view is yes. I believe that if we did not have a civil war we would be split or possibly mad…e part of some other country like France. Our nation's army was divided in half so if another country tried to attack, we would have been murdered due to the fact that we didn't have the man power we needed to withstand such an attack. Since the North won the war, they required for the South to promise never split from the Union. Now we have a nation who has the strongest military power and the strongest government in the world. Other people may say that Civil Was was not needed. They believe that either one of two things would have happened. One would be that America would be a country with slaves. The other possibility is that people would have realized that slavery couldn't last forever. So whether or not it was just depends how you look at it. (MORE)

Type your answer here... No. The 2003 invasion of Iraq was done without international (UN) approval), using fabricated reasons for justification (there were no WMD) and was us…ed for American corporate profit. These facts render "Operation Iraqi Freedom" an aggressive conquest. It came at a terrible civilian cost and turned the world's opinion against America. The ongoing failure to bring peace and democracy (as was promised) undermines the USA's credibility around the world, and alienates us from our former allies. While the war profited companies and individuals close to the Bush administration, it has brought death to inocent people, and weakness to a once glorious America. The war is unprovoked, unjust and unwinnable. (MORE)

Let's define a "just conclusion" first. Germany's aggression started WWI and the peace settlement was pretty harsh - billions of dollars to be paid to the Allies to reimburse …them for the cost of stopping that behavior. Some may think that was unjust, but most outside of Germany thought it was only fair and some that it was not enough. But, whether justified or not, it did cause severe economic depression in Germany and which made the people resent the Allied countries. Hitler and the Nazi party exploited this resentment to the fullest extent possible and convinced the German people that it was their right and destiny to retake the land they held before WWI and a few other areas that they wanted. Further Point German Nationalists (including the Nazis) didn't even believe that Germany had really lost World War 1 and claimed that Germany had been "stabbed in the back" by subversives on the home front and that it had been cheated of the fruits of its victory over Russia (Brest-Litovsk). Obviously, people who believed kind of conspiracy theory were not going to settle for any "conclusion" at all: instead, they wanted a re-run of World War 1. This is what they got, plus a much more devastating defeat in the second round. For the groups that actually made the running from about 1931 on, the problem wasn't the Treaty of Versailles, but the defeat. This isn't some eccentric view of mine, but is shared by some German historians, such as Karl Ferdinand Werner. (MORE)
Answer WWII in Europe, for the most part, was a roaming affair of many free wheeling engagements across the countryside. There were few fixed battles as was often… seen in the First World War. Because of this, the land was not a scarred, as it was at Verdun and Ypres. This allowed the owners of the land, farmers, generally, to reclaim the land for its' intended use. Remember that the entire economy of the area was in ruin, and they had to work to eat. This is true even around the D-Day landing beaches. (MORE)
