The Nazis' program of persecution against the Jewish people in Sighet was carried out in
gradual steps (p. 9). First, the German officers moved into private homes. They closed the
synagogues. They arrested leaders of the Jewish community, forbade the Jews from owning
any valuables under penalty of death, and forced them to wear the Star of David on their
clothes. Jews no longer had the right to frequent restaurants, to travel by train, to attend
synagogue, or to be on the streets after 6 o'clock in the evening. Then, they were forced to
leave their homes and move into designated ghettos. And from the ghettos, the Jews were
deported to the concentration camps.
How do you think the Jews felt as the persecution escalated? Why do you think they
followed the Germans' rules? Should they have stood up? Would you have reacted
differently?

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
