"Failure to help" "Night of the Pogram"

In "Failure to Help" hundreds of Jews pay 150 dollars (account for the ridiculous amount of inflation) to travel to Cuba, with hopes of eventually being allowed into the United States.  They quickly passed through Cuba and were nearly to Miami, when they were forced to turn around and go back to Germany.  Belgium and the Netherlands took these people.  America citizens were outraged that the Jews weren't coming to America, but the government made no move to take in the Jews. America's immigration laws stated that they were allowed to let in 26,000 jews a year, but they never let in even half that.  Why do you think the government was hesitant to take in Jews?  Do you think Hitler had an impact on how American's view Jews? Expand on these ideas.
     In the second article, a jewish family tells their story of their experiences in Germany and a run in with the storm troopers.  The most interesting thing I found about this article is when the father says he will go to his Nazi boss that is a "good nazi."  Is any nazi a good nazi?  why do you think the man was sent to Dachau? Why do you think the father stood one foot in front of his children?  Do you think it was to protect his kids?
