Explanation:
First question: Reconstruction is the period in U.S. history (1865–77) after the Civil War during which time the 11 states that had seceded the Union were admitted back into the Union; and it was also a time where many attempts were made to grant equality to the African American population and to undo the legacy of slavery. There were far-reaching changes in political life during the Reconstruction period. At the national level, new laws and constitutional amendments were instituted that changed the federal system and who qualified for American citizenship. In the southern states, there was a lot of activism in favor of building more viable and empowered black communities. Lawmakers passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and also forged the Civil Rights Act of 1866. During this period African Americans were allowed to vote and purchase land, seek employment and participate in public life like any other American citizen. Unfortunately, there were later reactions and pushback that began to re-instill the legacy of racism and encroach on the legal and social rights of African Americans again.
Second question: The War of the Worlds was a radio broadcast made in 1938 that has been made infamous because it tricked some of the listeners into believing an alien invasion was actually occurring. It used a "breaking news" format for storytelling in the first part of the broadcast that some did not realize was fictional. The program's use of a news-bulletin format by actor Orson Welles was criticized by many in the media in the aftermath of the public reaction. The story was based on the novel by H. G. Wells called The War of the Worlds (1898). The production team had changed the location names to American towns and cities for the radio broadcast while the original book was set in Europe (Gosling, 2009).
Answer:
The Jews in Sighet refused to believe that Hitler can or will exterminate the Jewish race for they find it impossible for a whole race to be completely wiped off from the face of the earth. Also, they remained optimistic despite getting news about German's occupation of Jewish places for they thought that they are still far off from those places and that there will be some diplomatic solutions even if they are to come to Sighet.
Explanation:
Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night" recounts the horror that he, along with the other Jews, suffered during the German Nazi's regime, torturing the Jewish people. The Holocaust that was Hitler's attempts to fully annihilate the Jewish people was the main focus of the memoir.
The Jews of Sighet were at first adamant that none of the news about the torturing of Jews was alarming for it won'tr happen to them. They believed that either they are too far off from the main war front that German troops won't be able to reach. Or that Germany won't advance, believing that <em>"they will stay in Budapest. For strategic reasons, for political reasons.."</em>
This was the belief of the Jews in Sighet. They also believed that a complete annihilation of the entire Jewish race is impossible, for they are not a small race. They realized that this was far from the truth when they found themselves surrounded by German troops within a short span of days.
