Eliezer and his father are told to lie about their ages. why?

1 answer:

6 0

Remember that Eliezer and his father were sent off to Auschwitz, which as commonly known today is a death camp. To determine whether they go to Auschwitz or Birkenau (the labor camp next to Auschwitz), they were asked for some of the following things:

1) Age

2) Occupancy

3) Health condition

4) (i believe there might be more) etc.

Each of these determine if they can work, and depending on what they answer, they were either sent directly to the death camp, or were sent to the labor camp.

Now, to answer the question, they were told to lie about their ages so that they would have a higher survivability rate.

Hamilton and the Federalists supporting the National Bank, while Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans opposed it.

This makes sense to give Parliament the freedom to act and understanding necessary to deal with different situations.

Yet, as Jefferson suggests, the laws that grant Congress so much authority if the legal system shall not be upheld. Recall that for Jefferson he advocated the Constitution's act, so the clause was not as meaningful for him as the Amendment could be amended to respond to new needs.

What was Lincoln’s great fear in issuing an executive order freeing the slaves?

Vilka [71]

In this video segment, from the PBS documentary Looking for Lincoln, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and historian David Blight examine President Abraham Lincoln’s mixed motivations for issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. They conclude that while Lincoln ultimately recognized the moral righteousness freeing the slaves, his first and primary concern was strategic: it was the best way to rally the North and strike at the heart of the South’s economy. Gates and Blight then join a roundtable discussion of Lincoln scholars debating the legal authority of the Proclamation and its special meaning for African Americans.
