When the control of Germany was undertaken by Adolph Hitler, the entire world
             became infected by his Nazi fascism, especially the European Jews. Through Hitler's
             beliefs of "white skin, blue eyes, light hair" being the race of God, Jewish people were
             oppressed, forced into hard labor, and murdered in concentration camps. Many Jews went
             into hiding during this time, and it became very difficult for their caretakers to maintain a

             could not go to the bathroom, or run any water, or even talk loudly. If so, they ran the
             risk of being heard by someone outside and ultimately the risk of being caught. A Jewish
