By their neighbors and friends, by people they worked with! The Jews had a hard time living in the Ghettos. They had rights taken, rights they had once earned as a citizen. The Germans not only took their rights but their citizenship as well.

Back in medieval Europe, there was a lack of medical knowledge therefore the preventions of catching the bubonic plague were very weird and some were very useless. Some preventions were to keep isolated in houses were everybody was healthy and was not sick. Some ran away leaving their families and houses escaping to the countryside. An extreme prevention was the flagellants which went round to towns beating themselves until they bled; this was done because to show remorse and regrets for the sins they did and that their pain would help God to stop the plague. “…they were men who did public penance and scourged themselves with whips of hard knotted leather with little iron spikes.
People will always do what they want to do trying not to get caught. In the book the defense attorneys were not fair with Jefferson’s trial and they were not nice either by considering him a hog. In trials in the society today people get chances and say on what they did or didn’t do to prove how they’re not guilty. In the novel an innocent black man was not treated with respect. Jefferson was treated as a poor lowlife creature.
Mrs. Dubose criticizes him at one point and says, “Atticus is a Nigger lover!” or when she says, “Your father’s no better than the niggers and trash he works for!” He also puts his re-election for legislature in jeopardy because of all the racist people living there.

He experiences vexation because he is unable to provide his family with basic living essentials, like a bed. Both Gatsby and Walter make sacrifices to impress their loved ones, however. Although Gatsby’s business venture was a success and Walter’s was a complete failure, both involved illegal dealings and were not allowed in that current era. For example, Gatsby made a living by bootlegging alcohol, “He [Gatsby] and this Wolfshiem bought up a lot of side-street drug stores here and in Chicago and sold grain alcohol ... I picked him for a bootlegger … and I wasn’t far wrong” (Fitzgerald, 141).
The main idea of the story was that you really can't judge people by their color, they are all going to the same place when they die. Many people don't think of this in depth even though it is very important. The burgher people had something against the kapirs, mostly because of the skin color. Being racist does not solve anything, only death and cruelty. The burgher people were the middle class german and dutch people, morely so the whites, while the kapirs were the more islamic, poorer people, just trying to make themselves something in their life.
The Forgotten Holocaust The video shockingly depicts the sufferings and despair of the Gipsy people during World War II. The mere title implies that this discrimination was completely disregarded. Many people, even nowadays, are still not aware of the horrors of the Roma population.

Their resentment, combined with growing anti-Irish and anti-Catholic sentiment among all classes in Boston led to 'No Irish Need Apply' signs being posted in shop windows, factory gates and workshop doors throughout the city. In New York, the Irish did not face the degree of prejudice found in Boston. Instead, they were confronted by shifty characters and con artists. Confused Irish, fresh off the farm and suffering from culture shock, were taken advantage of the moment they set foot on shore.
