have the slightest connection. One the one side was economic distress
and the revulsion against Versailles; on the other, chicanery and
intrigue…Hitler and his party had promised the unhappy Germans a new
heaven and a new earth, coupled with the persecution of the Jews.
Unfortunately, a new heaven and earth cannot be manufactured to order.
But a persecution of the Jews can…”How do you interpret this contemporary account of the persecution of people who are Jewish? Elaborate.week 4The Cold War and the United States (graded)How
