Discoveries

New discovery about my topic is…. the subversive Jews were portrayed as responsible for all Germany’s ills.

The discovery affects my topic because…. I learned that the Nazi’s went in and destroyed countries and took peoples lives and beat the Jews trying to exterminate them. What I learned from this was that Jews didn’t know if they would live tomorrow. That taught me that I should always be thankful for my life.
