8 0

The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community.

During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities also targeted other groups because of their perceived racial and biological inferiority: Roma (Gypsies), people with disabilities, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The most acceptable zone with friends is A. Personal distance.

Explanation:

Edward T. Hall developed an idea known as Proxemics, which centers on the idea that every individual can use his/her space a certain way and the effects it can have on our social interaction, behavior, etc.

There can be 4 horizontal distances:

Intimate: touching, embracing.
Personal: interaction with close friends, family.
Social: interaction with people one knows but is not that familiar with, such as coworkers.
Public: with the general public.

In this case, when an individual has an encounter with good friends, he/she tends to stay in the personal distance. It would become an intimate distance if we are talking about a couple or really close friends but in this case, since it is most of the individual's friends, the interaction stays in the personal distance.
