the movie is about what happens to european jews during ww2, the major charactor in the story is not german but is allowed to run a factory where jews are allowed to work by nazi germany, the owner with help from jews he learns to respect as humans and not profit, begins to smuggle jews out of war torn germany, eventually he realizes he can never smuggle enough jewish people to satisfy his conscience. the jews he saves emigrate to israel finally! It is a sad but good movie, see it. many of us lost love ones during that period, i am not jewish but of portuguese heritage and my family suffered too. good luck to you

He was neither, he was a hebrew, who where not black, or very light. They where perhaps a little like modern day Sephardi Jews.\n\nHis wife, Hagar, who was Egyptian was black.

It can be either.  For instance, I have a friend who is Anglo, but he's religiously a Jew. And my best friend (last name Steiner) has never been to temple and is not technically Jewish since her mother's a gentile.\n\nSince few people convert to Judaism, most of those who follow the Jewish faith are ethnically Jews.  But there's a weird grey area, so both you and your boyfriend are right.

No, being Jewish is not a nationality, because there are Jews from many many nations around the globe. What ties each Jew to other Jews is our religion, our Faith, called Judaism. Had you asked him to show you his passport, it would not have read, 'Jew,' and even if the passport was from Israel, it would not always mean he was a Jew, because Israel has citizens who are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, whatever.

Born Adolph Schicklgruber - he later took to using the last name of his stepfather ("Hitler").\n\nI can find no reference to him ever having had a middle name.

Its really Sacha Boren Cohen. He is a British and Jewish (which allows him to make fun of jews) actor. He does the characters on the Ali G show where Borat is one of the skits where he goes up to people who think that he is a real Khazak journalist. The character is taken from the real Turkish internet personality who had a popular website (where he sang that song "i want to kiss you" or something like that).\n\nHe was also the French driver in Taladega Nights.

He beleived the "Aryan race" (Caucasian) was superior to all other races and that to establish thier supreiority, they needed to be the ones owning the businesses and land and everything. However, when he tried to og about doing this, everything was owned by Jews. He then wrote Mien Kampf, which basically outlined his core beleifs about te Jews and that they were robbing germany and the rest of the world of all thier money and land etc.\n\nSO ... he decides to kill every Jew possible. Forces them out of their lands and homes and put them in concentration camps and everything - and succeeded in killing over 6 million jews. He also wanted to take over the world at the same time so he was invading all of europe and suceeding very well, until the USA joined the war.\n\nThats my knowledge on it! Hope it helps

You are not Jewish, as you were raised a Christian, unless you renounce your Christianity and formally convert to Judaism. So, when asked if you are Jewish, the correct answer is, 'No, but my father is.'

There was a Zionist movement as far back as the late 1800's but because of Hitler, thousands moved to what was then Palestine either before the Holocaust began in earnest or as survivors and created a Jewish state of Israel. The Arabs have been trying to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth ever since. \n\nSecondly, it was Nazi scientists who were ahead in the race to discover nuclear power and the destruction that goes with it. Again, many great scientists either got out of Germany when they could or came to the States after the war. Some, I believe, were even "smuggled" out of Nazi Germany during the war to work on nuclear power for us. Both the development of the Atom Bomb and the pivotal role in the war that Hitler started made the US a super power. Before that, the US army had been down-graded to almost non-existence after the first world war. \n\nWho knows how many great artists, musicians, scientists, doctors, etc. were murdered or prevented from being born because their parents were murdered during the Holocaust. Six million Jews is a lot of people. Six million non-Jews is, too. Who knows what these people might have been and might have done for the world if they had survived?\n\nI hope this helps. Good question!

I think you are asking about James Hymie Solomon, a.k.a. Jimmie Reese,who is buried in the Westwood Cemetery in Los Angeles. He had a distinguished career in baseball.\n\nJews have been a part of major league baseball since men like Lipman Pike and Levi Samuel Meyerle played in the nineteenth century. For many years, ethnicity was fair game for journalists and players. If a ballplayer was Jewish or Italian, it was especially noted. But as the atrocities of World War II came to light and Jewish and Italian ballplayers such as Hank Greenberg and Joe DiMaggio served their country in World War II, they were no longer perceived as Jewish or Italian players but as genuine American heroes. This ethnic stereotyping waned except for the initial integration of black baseball players.\n\nThere have been relatively few Jewish ballplayers in the major leagues. The count is not fully known because many Jewish ballplayers, especially in the early years, changed their names to hide their Judaism. The Jewish World Review, in an article dated November 15, 2002, said there have been 140 Jewish major leaguers. For those who hid their true identities, the most obvious reason was that they wished to avoid anti-Semitism. It was not until Greenberg became an established star and a war veteran that anti-Semitism became less of a factor in major league baseball and most Jewish players ceased to hide their identities. Vestiges of anti-Semitism, however, still remain.\n\nOne who changed his name was Hymie Solomon, who spent a long career in baseball under the assumed name of Jimmie Reese. Reese was a baseball lifer, and his longevity deserves recognition. When Reese died in 1994, at the age of 92, he was still a coach for the California Angels. His death ended 77 years in baseball.\n\nJames Herman Solomon was born on October 1, 1901, in New York City but was raised in Los Angeles. At the age of 12 he was a batboy for the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League. For six years he held the batboy job except for a one-year stint in the U.S. Navy in 1918, where he was a mascot for a Navy team that included Lefty O'Doul, Bob Meusel, and Howard Ehmke. Concluding his batboy career in 1923, Reese started his playing career in 1924 as a second baseman for the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League. In 1925 he played 136 games at shortstop and second base, batting .248. Jimmie became the Oaks' regular second baseman in 1926, pairing with Lyn Lary as a double play combination; they became known as "The Gold Dust Twins." In 1927, Reese batted .295 in 191 games and led the PCL in fielding for second basemen (.984) as the Oaks won their first pennant in 15 years.\n\nDuring the 1928 season the New York Yankees purchased Reese and Lary's contracts from the Oaks for $125,000, a substantial sum at the time. Lary was called up in 1929 and Reese in 1930. Before that, Reese had his best year for the Oaks in 1929, batting .337 with one homer, 65 runs batted in, and 24 stolen bases, while leading all second basemen in the PCL with a .979 fielding average and 622 putouts in 190 games.\n\nFinally brought up by the Yanks in 1930, Reese played 48 games at second base and five games at third that season. Pinch hitting appearances raised his total number of games to 77. He batted .346 with 65 hits, driving in 18 runs with 14 doubles and 3 homers. In 1931, Reese tailed off, batting .241, with 3 homers and 26 runs batted in 65 games. In 1932, the Yanks sent him to St. Paul of the American Association and he was quickly picked up by the St. Louis Cardinals to fill in for the injured Frankie Frisch. In 90 games with the Cardinals, Reese batted .265, with 82 hits in 309 at-bats, hitting 2 homers and driving in 26 runs. That was it for Reese's major league career; in all, he played in 232 games, batting a respectable .278 with 8 homers and 70 runs batted in 742 official at-bats.\n\nThe Los Angeles Angels purchased Reese's contract from the Cardinals i

I was a history major in college with a focus on the holocaust.  I studied him extensively.  It is widely argued about whether he was a Jew.  Little is known about his real father.  It may be that his father was a Jew or half Jew and was absent, causing resentment of those people.  \nIf you look at history.  Historically,, the Jews have been constantly persecuted..  A couple reasons for this is      1. The Jews killed Christ (actually the Romans did, but the Jews get  blamed).  \n2. Loaning money  for interest or usury.  Christians were not.  Jews are characterized as wealthy and greedy.  Both of these generalizations are founded on their laws which permit usury.\nIf you look at this time in history, the Germans were financially crippled by the reparations they were forced to pay due to WW I.   They were not allowed to rearm at all.  Take a people with a proud military past, a loss of a major war, a country ravaged by war, financially crippled and unable to build, that makes for the perfect set of circumstances to find a scapegoat.\nDue to the allowance of usury by Jewish laws,  many were bankers.  They were fairly affluent.  Hitler chose a group of people that many were wealthy and affluent and already faced a prejudice, to be the one's responsible for Germany's woes.  This helped rocket him into power.
