Homework

1.-

1. The victims are the Jews, obviously.
2. The perpetrators are the Nazis.
3. The bystanders are the rest of Germany, those who didn't belong to neither parties

2.- Among the important factors that determined your "alignment" to one of these "factions", I may highlight race or nation, because if someone belonged to the Jewish community, he should be immediately be considered a victim. To split the rest of the German population, it should be considered political affinity, because there were Nazis and common Germans, so if considering his/her political affinity, one could determine whether he/she should be considered a perpetrator or a bystander.

3.- The largest group should be n°3, the bystanders. The term "Silent Majority" is appliable in this case because common German folk acted (ironically) as bystanders, just watching as they pass by through their common lifes, not helping neither side.

4.- Practically none, because of Nazi oversight, the bystanders were terrified enough to not try to interact with the Jews. There should have been a bit of help towards the Jews, in matters of supplying, housing, among others

5.- The Jewish couldn't use their passports (forced to stay), didn't own a proper place to live. They were stripped of all kinds of possessions, but more importantly, they were stripped of their freedom.

6.- Mansions, the consul, commitee, public meeting, politicians, the old yew and the birds singing in the trees. All of this are mere references to State bureaucracies, or at least related to the subject.

7.- A refugee is simply an innocent fugitive (most of the times). They are forced to be always on the run, hidding and seeking shelter, and they are being pursued by someone or something. In my opinion, someone might become a refugee at their own home. This is generally caused by social pressure, because when someone is mistreated by society for being different, this person gradually adopts this kind of behavior, fearing society and using their own home as a shelter to protect themselves with.
