QUEST ONE
I think people can convince themselves that a group of people are less than human based on what society thinks. Everyone is just trying to fit in with people's ideas and beliefs. If someone in good power is able to convince people that a certain group of people are bad, everyone will think so. This is because the people in power over us shape and mold us into being more like them. We go along with it because we think that since this person is stronger than us or richer than us that they have complete control over us. We also exclude people that are different. Our mindset is that everyone has to be like us or look like us to be a person. When we aren't open-minded and accepting of differences, our ego can take control and make us think a certain way about people. The people were convincing themselves that the Jews were less human because of Hitler and the nazis. They set certain expectations that everyone should look the same, worship the same god, and have the same traditions. This completely closed everyone's mind because they were being molded by someone of such higher power over them.

Question 1- How do you think people can convince themselves that a group of people are less human?

I think that there were a lot of factors that went into people thinking that the jews we less human and one of them was fear and knowing that not joining the Nazi Party would make you an outcast or not enlisting would make people think less of you. Also their enforcement did not allow any Jew sympathizers, or people who did not think oppresion against the Jews was right,to walk around unpunished they made it clear that helping the Jews or anything of the like would result in certain death. Also a very important factor in people believing such propaganda is peer pressure and getting influenced by those around into joining the porpaganda until you believe it is true.

Question 2... I think the Jews did not leave because they didn't trust anyone. Throughout the war the Jews would get beat randomly or killed. Another reason is that they might get found by a stray Nazi and get killed. But I think the main reason is that they couldn't believe it was true. They needed facts that they were free not a word.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1 - How do you think people can convince themselves that a group of people are less than human?

I think that the reason people can convince themselves that a group of people are less than human is because of the fact that some people are different. When some people see others and notice that they are different than themselves, sometimes we tend to judge or hate when we don`t even know them. For example, Hitler wanted everyone to look the same, that is one of the many reasons that Hitler hated Jews. When people can start to look deeper than your differences most ties you can start to find things in common, and you can start to focus on who that person really is. Overall, I think it can be easy for some people to convince themselves that a group of people are less than human, but it would not be a good habit to get into.

# data[].attributes.body
How do you think people can convince themselves that a group of people are less than human?

I think that people can convince themselves that another race/people are animals compared to them. Because of the actions that the other type of people might do. And I think everybody has a higher opinion of themself/their religion. And I do not think that that is right because it is another form of discrimination. and it I not right.

QUESTION 2: Why did the Jews not leave the factory? Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free? I think the fact the jew stayed put was because they did not have anywhere else to go. the jews also were in shock they were free after 6 years of torture. they would have a hard time contemplating because they were for a long time prisoners and they had no idea wah to do

# data[].attributes.body
I think people can convince themselves people are less than human because they are different. People tend to have the impression that different means bad, but that's not true. It would be insanely boring if everyone were one and the same, but sometimes people can be blind to those thoughts. It's fair to assume that someone is bad because they don't have the same thought process as you do; people are still people.

# data[].attributes.body
QUEST TWO: Why did the Jews not leave the factory? Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free?

The Jews didn't leave the factory because they didn't have anywhere to go. Their homes were likely burned and destroyed. Their friends and family had likely murdered or were still imprisoned. They had been attacked and detained by the Nazis for years. It might have become the norm to them. The Nazis had told them constantly that they weren't going to make it and that they were worthless. After being confined by the Germans for so long they didn't have a plan for what they would do after the Holocaust had ended.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose Question 2.
I think the Jews did not leave the factory after they were finally free because they couldn't believe they survived the torture. The Jews in the factory had just heard they have finally made it to the end of their pain and suffering but they don't leave. The Jews didn't leave because they had no home or family to go back to. The Jews have been kept away from all other society for so long they had no way to communicate with their family. The Jews couldn't comprehend the fact they were set free because of how much torture and labor they have had to do to now be told it is all finally over. The Jews have seen the Nazis fleeing and now they know that they aren't being dictated anymore by the Germans.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people can convince themselves that others are less than human through communication and superiority. Using the Holocaust as an example, antisemitism was getting worse as the government and the Germans were telling lies about the Jews to the Gentiles. Lack of accurate information reaching the Gentiles was a major reason. However, it's clear that the Gentiles were aware of what was happening to the Jews. I think that they took pride in the suffering of the Jews because it made them feel superior and better-liked. They believed the lies because doing so made them feel better about themselves. To know that they weren’t the issue. I’m sure at first they had to convince themselves that the violent screams and gunshots were normal. Sadly, soon these sounds were an everyday thing, not much convincing was needed.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Jews didn't leave the factory because they had nowhere to go, they had no money, and because they were scared that another country might do the same thing to them. It would have been hard to comprehend because that was all they had know for years was to follow orders and not to think for them selves.

# data[].attributes.body
How do you think people can convince themselves that a group of people are less than human?

I think that people can convince themselves that a group of people are less then human because they think that group is different. Some people think that who ever is different then them they are not human. They probably tell themselves that since they are different or believe something different then they aren't human or less then human. Some people can't put it in their mind that people are going to be different and that is okay. They might think that there is a right and wrong to what someone should do, think, or believe. Some people might think that if someone doesn't believe what they believe than they could be a threat.

# data[].attributes.body
After Schindler left the factory and told the Jews that they were free the Jews didnt leave the factory. They didnt leave because they had nowhere to even go. And also it would be the safest choice to wait for Russian alies to free them. The Jews had a hard time comprehending that they were free. They had a hard time doing that because after all the years they were just tortred they were now free. If I was in that situation I would have a hard time beliving that too.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I think the reason the Jews did not leave the factory because they where afraid. I would have done the same thinking if you walk out of that buliding. I would have been shot down because maybe a solider wanted one more dead Jew. To make Him happy and show that they are worthless. It would be hard to comprhened the fact that I was free and after all this time there was a chance. To escape to leave this horrible place i've been living in for so many years of my life now.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jews did not leave the factory one because the soldiers were still there and they weren't moving. They also really couldn't go anywhere and had no idea what was going on outside of the camp. Another reason why they had a hard time comprehending freedom is because they were to baffled by the prospect of being free. They were stuck in ghettos and concentration camps for so long that freedom didn't seem possible. So that really hard for them to understand. I think it was smart how they stayed factory because it a Nazis saw them running away they would have killed them. They also had no way of blending in because they were super skinny and had raggedy clothes with a bald head.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the way that people convince themselves that a group of people are less than human are because they're either led by someone in their life or simply want to feel powerful. From personal experience I can say that I believe in a lot of things my parents believe in and I think it could be the same thing for people who hate on certain types of people. It could also be from people who lead certain things like countries or organizations. It could also be because they think it makes them look better or more what they want to look like. A lot of the time you'll notice people hate on others because they think they're better than them.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jews didn't leave the factory because they were to scared and astonished. They thought surely that when the Germans were losing the war that they were going to die. They didn't expect to be set free. They couldn't comprehend this because the didn't remember what free was. They hadn't been free for 6 years. It was like a new word to them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Jews didn't leave the factory because they didn't want to get caught again. Even if they did leave, they would have nowhere to go and would be alone. They have little to trade for and they couldn't get a job without the chance of getting caught by Nazis again. After being held against your will and being forced to work and live like you don't matter at all, I can understand why they would have a hard time comprehending that they were free. This happened over a course of about six years. Once you are being treated constantly one way, that's what you are attuned to. It was normal for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Jews choose not to leave the factory, because they thought of it as a safe place. All the time they spent inside of the factory, they were safe from all the dangers outside. For years the Jewish factory workers were saved by Schindler, and all of a sudden he was gone. I think that the Jews had a hard time comprehending that they were free because for years they were in over crowed Ghettos and horrible concentration camps. That was all they knew, how to live in those situations but now all of that is gone, and they don't have to live in terror.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jews didn't leave the factory because they didn't know where they would go or what is waiting for them outside of the camp. They also didn't know where they could find shelter or food since its very scarce with the war going on.  I feel like they had a hard time comprehending that they were free from all that they had heard and seen in just that short period of time. I also think that they had a hard time because they had gone through so much that they just couldn't tell of what Schindler said was true or not. The last thing I think that they just couldn't believe what they had just heard knowing that all they have gone through was gone and they could finally try to go back to a normal life.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the Jews not leave the factory?  Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free?

The Jews did not leave the factory because they were scared. They have been enslaved for so long that they didn't have anywhere to go or any reason. They were also very weak and only had Vodka, Cloth, and themselves. They were also with their family. They were also probably scared that they weren't actually free and that it was a trap. They might have thought that when they stepped out of the building that they would be killed by the Germans. The would have a hard time comprehending they were free because they were in confinement and were tortured for years upon years, and it would of been hard for them to think about it going back to "Normal".

# data[].attributes.body
I think the jews did not leave there factory for many reasons. One reason is because they had no where to go. Another reason is because they were scared of running into nazis and getting shot. Third is because they were half surprised. Finally they didn't know what was out there.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jews at Schindler's relocated factory didn't leave the factory because they didn't know what they should do. They had other people possibly living in their homes, people in their hometown may be upset at them, and they were jobless. Where should they have gone? There wasn't anywhere they knew to go. They were trying to be exterminated for years at that point and now were told "You are free"? I mean, where would you go? There is nowhere to go. How would you live? No job, no home, and for most of them, no family. Many people you used to know likely hate you now... what can you do? Not much. How would you live?

# data[].attributes.body
The Jews didn't leave the factory because they didn't know what would be outside. They also did not know where to go or what would happen once they left. They weren't sure if they would be safe outside of the factory of if they would be taken to a camp again. They probably had a hard time comprehending that they were free because they had been prisoners for so long. Not being free for that long might have made them not entirely believe that they were allowed to leave safely.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the jews didnt leace the factory at first because they were in shock. But for a while because they had no where do go. they would have a hard time comprehnding this because they were forced to work for so long. becasue dehuminized and tuaght that they dont matter. Last they have be desensitized and dont understand.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the question how do you think people can convince themselves other people are less human. I think people can do this because they are filled with so much anger. Because they need someone to blame for their problems in life. They do this because they can not blame themselves. So they think they need to do something to these people to fix the problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Some reasons I think the Jews did not leave the factory were because they felt safe in the factory because they have been surviving a lot off of it. Also, I think because the Russians were getting closer they could be mistaken as German and killed. Or the Germans would've killed them instantly if they were found outside of the factory. I think the Jews had a hard time comprehending that they were free because they wouldn't believe that a German would let them go. Also they probably never thought being let go would ever happen after they were captured by the Germans.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the Jews not leave the factory?  Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free?
The reason the Jews didn't leave the factory is because they didn't know where to go. When you are under someones rule or a long time you don't know advocate for yourself. The Jews also had no clue where there were at because when the Jews moved place to place they lost track of where they where at. The Jews got very little food so I bet there body's are week. Which would also put a huge toll on the Jews. It was hard for the Jews to comprehend the fact that they were free because they haven't been free in a long time. They also didn't know where to go, and what to do when your free.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the Jews not leave the factory?  Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free?

The Jews did not leave the factory because of the lack of resources they had. The Jews had no idea of where to go and what was happening outside the factory grounds. It's not like the Jews had a working radio to listen to the news which would largely help them of what to avoid when leaving. They also had no maps to tell where they would go in their journey. The Jews could not even believe that they were free. They were under the Nazi's control for so long they had forgotten what it was like to be free.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jews did not leave the factory after Schindler freed them because they had no where else to go to. They went from ghettos, to concentration camps, to Emalia, to more concentration camps, and then the factory. They had not had a place to call home in over four years. Nor did they have any food or warm clothes to help them survive. The factory provided them with more resources than they would get anywhere else. The Jews would have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free because they had been through so many hard times and thought that they would never end. The fact that they had been beaten, tortured, and almost killed many times and eventually came out of each situation alive is incredible. Believing the luck that they had and everything they had been through is a very hard thing to understand. In conclusion, even though the Jews were free, they stayed at the factory because they had no where else to go, and all of the conditions that they survived made it hard to believe that they survived the Holocaust.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the reason why the Jews didn't leave was because they didn't believe they were free. They probably thought that they were trying to trick them. And after all this time they had probably lost hope. Also, they have little to no news resources, so, it was probably really random to them.

# data[].attributes.body
Question #2
I believe that there were a few reasons the Jews didn't leave. First, I think that they knew the Russians would be there soon and didn't want to be seen running through the woods and mistaken for Germans and gunned down by the Russians. Second, they had just spent a few years of their lives trapped in "camps" and ghettos being treated like disease ridden animals. After being treated that way for so long it would take you a while to realize that the suffering was over and you were free. The Jews probably thought they were dreaming when Schindler told them they we free, and were overwhelmed with emotions.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the Jews not leave the factory?  Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free? I think they did not leave the factory because they weren't sure if they were free or not. I think they had a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free because they had been in the holocaust for a very very long time and they could have thought the nazi was lying.  That is why I think the Jews did not leave the factory.  That is why I think they had a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people can convince themselves that other people are less human because these people think that they are the top priority. They also think that if these people are treated differently and have fewer beauty features then they are too different, and therefore they are not as human. And the reason that these Jews have less of everything that the non - jews have is that these jews pretty much got their whole life taken away. This includes everything that they used for themselves, like makeup, clothes, their body shape, and even their hair. I also think that the non - jews were biased because of all of these nazis telling the non - jews that the jews were causing all of the problems.

# data[].attributes.body
I did question two, why did the Jews not leave the factory?  Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free? I think that Jews had a hard time leaving the factory because they were not sure the war was done. They may have had a hard time believing they were free because Schindler could have been lying to them. Even though Schindler was a good man no one knew who they could trust. They also probably didn't leave because they would have had no where to go. If they stayed at the factory they probably would have had a better chance of living because they had shelter and other Nazi could have killed them if they saw them .

# data[].attributes.body
2. I feel the Jews didn't leave the factory because they didn't want to use energy walking or running somewhere else. Also, if they left they wouldn't now where to go because all they new was they were in Brunnlitz. They, also were very confused that they were just left the Germans didn't care. They, all just left so they stayed to see if they would come back possibly.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the Jews did not leave the factory because they didn't believe that the Holocaust was finally over after so many years. Also, I think that the Jews didn't know where they would go. They might have thought that if they did leave then the Nazis would come get them and bring them back to concentration camps. They would have a hard time comprehending that they were free because they had been locked up and told what to do and what not to do for the fear of there lives. This is why I think that the Jews did not leave the factory.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 2. I think that jew's didn't leave the factory right away when they were free because they had nowhere to go and didn't know if it was safe. Their going to have to start over with their life. After almost 2 years they are set free. They didn't know who they could rely on because they have been "owned" bye the Germans. So many of their friends have died. they don't have a home either.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the Jews not leave the factory?  Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free? The Jews did not leave the factory because they had nowhere to go, no news of anything that was happening, and they didn't know what was outside the factory. The Jews had a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free because they had been through soo much and had soo many times when they thought that they were going to be freed but they weren't so they thought they weren't actually free.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 2, The Jews did not leave the factory once they knew that they were free. I think they did this because they were not sure what to do. The had not been free in years and were probably scared that if they did leave they would be killed. Also, they had no money all they had was the cloth and vodka to trade for money or food. They had a hard time comprehending that they were free because they were all almost certain they would die but now they are free and survived.

# data[].attributes.body
2nd Question. I think that the Jews did not leave the factory because they had no where to go. They have no reason to leave the factory, where they could stay for free. If they left, they would be thrown into the world without any shelter or food. It was hard for them to believe that they were finally free because they had been in concentration camps for so many years. They were all practically starved and beaten to death, and it was hard for them to believe that the Holocaust was over. Eventually, they left, but they did not have anything to leave for.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people can think some people are less human because. They think there better or they where had to believe that the people that are not like them to believe that they are bad. To believe that they did not deserve anything. I really don't know why people think there better than others and that some people are less human. I mean that what they think and they put evidence and reasoning so they can get other people to believe.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jews did not leave the factory because they had a hard time believing anything. They didn't believe that they were actually being set free after living in torture for a very long time. I understand why they wouldn't believe that they were being freed after everything they had to go through having trust in anyone is not something you'd be expecting them to have.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people can convince themselves that a group of people are less than human because of how small the Jewish population was so they just sort of ganged up on them. I also think they made up excuses to hate them like saying they were Christ killers and really just because they were different with different beliefs. The Nazis thought they were superior and were basically brain washed that the Jews were bad and they were better. They also had a leader (Adolf Hitler) who was very assertive and really pushed for what he wanted which was a awful wrong thing he wanted. Adolf Hitler was manipulative and evil and that is how he got people to believe this awful, awful thing that Jews were less than human.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jews didn’t leave the factory because they weren't sure where to go and what lied ahead for them. It seemed like they couldn’t just go back to their old lives because nothing would be the same. This ties in with them trying comprehending the fact that their free. This would be hard for them to think about because they just went through a war that almost got them killed. Also at points during the story the Jews got things handed to them that were slightly in their favor but soon turned in the other direction. And, in this moment it seems like one of those times for the them.

# data[].attributes.body
For question two it states, why did the Jews not leave the factory? The Jews did not know anything about were they were and what was around them. Were would they go if they did not know what direction was safe? Also this is were the Jews spent most of there life's, being tricked into trouble. How would they know it was safe out there? How do they know that they will not get shot after they leave? is it a trap?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that you have to be so low and horrible to believe that a group of people are less than human. The Nazi's believed that Since the Jews "lost the war", it's okay to treat the people like they are objects and that they have no purpose. The Nazi's numbered every Jews and gave them a tattoo of that number. They did that to count them and also to de-humanize them into thinking that they are just objects and slaves and nothing else. So trying to get the Jews into thinking they are worthless just because of what one person thinks, is not okay.

# data[].attributes.body
The jews did not leave the factory, because they gained trust in that place. They didint know what was going to be outside of factory's walls there could have been naiz's outside they didnt know. The biggest problem in why they couldnt go home is because they didnt have a place to go and no were to go. The jews who were in the factory knew they were safe there so they stay till the russin soilder told them its safe to come out, and had them rip of the number.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people are able to convince themselves that a group is less than human because they want to feel strong. As humans we want to feel superior than others we want to feel dominant and some people take it to far. Also people may be going through a hard time and they want to blame someone for it so they can take their anger out. When this idea spreads people that don't agree will convince themselves to fit in with other people because humans are very social creatures. In some cases people that don't follow the trend of belief are considered less to and are killed, this fear of death can make them follow the trend. In conclusion people identify people as less than human when they feel threatened and want to blame it on someone and feel superior, which spreads through people wanting to fit in.

Why did the Jews not leave the factory?  Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free?

The Jews did not leave the factory because they did not know what was happening in the outer world.  They don't know what to do. They had a hard time comprehending that they were free because they had been in the Ghetto and the concentration camp for so long with out freedom. So when they heard that they were free it came as a surprise to them because it has been so long.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the Jews not leave the factory?  Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free?

I reckon the Jews were afraid that maybe this was a trap and that the moment they left they would be killed. The Jews did not know what was waiting outside for them and they weren't sure it was good.Many probably amused they would be killed or shuffled to another camp. After more than 6 years of suffering they were weak and could not comprehend that it was over. They were most likely in disbelief that after 6 years just like that it was over.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people can think that a group of people are less than human because they might believe they are better than them, They can believe that they are better and no one is better then them. So in there minds, they are less than human. The Nazi's can believe that they are not people.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 2:
The Jews did not leave the factory because they were in limbo after Schindler had left them there. They had no news, they did not know where to go, or what would happen to them if they left the camp. I think the Jews would have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free because they have been kept in captivity for years, where they were brutally tortured every day both, mentally and physically. They were malnourished, sleep-deprived, and hopeless. They thought they were destined to die. So, when the Russian soldier told them that they were free, it may have been hard for the Jews to comprehend or even believe the fact that they were actually free. I think it may have taken some Jews, months or even years, to realize that they were free.

# data[].attributes.body
I am doing question two. I think the Jews didn't leave the factory because since they had been in there for so many they didn't comprehend that they were free. I think it would be hard for them after years of torture to understand that they were going to live a normal life. All of those years of fighting or their lives and surviving only with one small serving of soup a day finally had paid off. I think they were also scared of what was going to happen outside of the ghetto.

# data[].attributes.body
I am doing question 2.
They did not leave the factory because they probably thought that they would get caught again and have to go back to the concentration camps. They also got very good food and shelter and if they went out they don't have enough money to buy something as good as this. They would have a hard time comprehending they were free because they were locked up for a long time and they wouldn't just be free now. Also, half of them die so not just like a couple of jews would be free. The Jews in the factory have a very good place right now and environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people can convince themselves that a group of people are not human by calling them numbers, treating them badly, and killing them whenever they wanted.
The Jews did not want to leave the factory because they did not have anywhere else to go, so they were afraid to leave. They also had a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free because they were prisoners for 6 years, and this was the first time they were ever free.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the Jews not leave the factory?  Why would they have a hard time comprehending the fact that they were free?
The Jews didn't leave the factory because they didn't know what to do and where to go. So most of the Jews stayed in the factory. When the Germans left they left without there guns. Some Jews started to protect each other by keeping an eye out for any one next to there factory. The Jews would have a hard time comprehending the fact that they are free because. Since the Jews were under the Nazi for so long they didn't know how to provide for themselfs.
