From Haven to Home

I think the purpose of the Jewish museum field trip was to get an idea on how hard life can be if you are “different” from the majority of the people. I think that Judaism is one of the most discriminated religions in the world because no other people with a certain religion had to go through a holocaust and go to concentration camps where they were killed just because they were Jews. What I found interesting were that some founding people of America were Jewish like George Washington and he was our fist president, and Albert Einstein was also Jewish and he was one of the greatest mathematicians. After some Jews escaped from the horror going on in Europe they prepared themselves by building a synagogue and starting the underground rail road just in case if their kind was discriminated again.
The original group of Jews that landed in America(1954) were in New Amsterdam and there were twenty-three of them. The Dutch governor of New Amsterdam did not want the Jewish people because he thought they would be a financial burden to New Amsterdam but was forced to keep them as long as they did not worship in public but little by little the governor’s dislike for grew as he was stripping their rights from them. They petitioned this unjust act and the Jews of New Amsterdam won their case and got their basic rights as a citizen back.
What makes me wonder about this is why people get so carried away by hating someone for their religion if the person themselves had not done anything bad.
