Fredrick church was not in senate...Frederic Edwin Church (May 4, 1826 – April 7, 1900) was an American landscape painter[1] born in Hartford, Connecticut. He was a central figure in the Hudson River School of American landscape painters, perhaps best known for painting large panoramic landscapes, often depicting mountains, waterfalls, and sunsets, but also sometimes depicting dramatic natural phenomena that he saw during his travels to the Arctic and Central and South America. Church's paintings put an emphasis on light and a romantic respect for natural detail. In his later years, Church painted classical Mediterranean and Middle Eastern scenes and cityscapes.[2]
Japan were not so much unhappy with the outcome of the treaty of Versailles as with how the treaty negotiations took place.
They felt probably correctly that they had been sidelined by the four major powers. However it should be noted that Japan didn't have any role in the European theatre of the war and its contribution was largely confined to providing convoy escorts and attacking Imperial Germany's possessions in the pacific.
For minimal effort during the war Japan was given what had been Germanys pacific Islands together with former territories in China.
The last part was hugely controversial the Germans had seized Shandong from the Chinese and the allies rather than return it to China gave it to Japan.
The Americans as well as some other allies used the venue of Versailles to make criticisms of the rather brutal way that Japan chose to run its empire. At this stage Japan controlled Korea chunks of China as well as various other smaller territories.
The Japanese never attempted to disguise the fact that they viewed other asians as racially inferior. The racial equality motion was merely an attempt to draw equivalence between their empire and the British and French empires.
<span>So at the time the Japanese weren't particuarly displeased at the versailles treaty. In later years it would become tied with the hated Washington naval agreements signed in 1921 which would lead to massive unrest in the Japanese military.</span>
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.
hope this helps
