Answer:
William Henry Johnson (circa July 15, 1892 – July 1, 1929), commonly known as Henry Johnson, was a United States Army soldier who performed heroically in the first African American unit of the United States Army to engage in combat in World War I. On watch in the Argonne Forest on May 14, 1918, he fought off a German raid in hand-to-hand combat, killing multiple German soldiers and rescuing a fellow soldier while experiencing 21 wounds, in an action that was brought to the nation's attention by coverage in the New York World and The Saturday Evening Post later that year. On June 2, 2015 he was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama in a posthumous ceremony at the White House.
In 1918, racism against African Americans was common among white U.S. soldiers in the U.S. military, but French attitudes differed. Johnson was recognized by the French with a Croix de guerre with star and bronze palm, and was the first U.S. soldier in World War I to receive that honor.
Johnson died, poor and in obscurity, in 1929. From 1919 on, Henry Johnson's story has been part of wider consideration of treatment of African Americans in the Great War. There was a long struggle to achieve awards for him from the U.S. military. He was finally awarded the Purple Heart in 1996. In 2002, the U.S. military awarded him the Distinguished Service Cross. Previous efforts to secure the Medal of Honor failed, but in 2015 he was posthumously honored with the award.

Answer:
As for culture, the Jews famously denied most of what was happening to them as far as persecution goes towards the beginning of the Holocaust. After it got worse (camps etc.) Emotionally, the Jews were along the same level as dirt. Some even believed the lies that were spread through Hitler's propaganda and when taken to camps gave up. The loud and merry life of the Jewish holidays were taken away completely removing almost all Jewish culture during and a long way after the Holocaust. Loss and seclusion for the survivors brought PTSD and many other mental illnesses. So as far as culture and emotions go, Jews in the Holocaust is probably as bad as it gets.
