"Conquests in the East" and "Blame the Rabbits"

The first reading was about the Nazi oppression of the Poles and the German response. How and why did the Nazis take small steps to carry out this oppression? If you were a Jew in Poland, would you rather live in one of these ghettoes and be persecuted or simply die? I found the most interesting parts of the reading to be the two diary stories by the Hebrew school principal. What do these stories say about Nazi methods of ruling? If you were a German at the time, how would you respond to hearing these stories? Why was nothing done in response?

In "Blame the Rabbits," the Wolves use the rabbits as a scapegoat on which they blame all of their misfortune. How do the wolves compare to Nazis, and the rabbits to Jews? What kind of blame did the Nazis place on the Jews? Is any of this blame justified? How does the rabbits attempted escape resemble what happened when the Jews were being persecuted in the 1930's? Why didn't the other animals let them escape? Answer ALL of these questions or else...(empty threats).
