Comparing the Past to the Present

Life seemed to be pretty normal for Jewish people in Germany prior to World War II. As suggested in the photo above, Jewish children could happily play with friends on summer days. That is a lot like the way our life is now. Kids still play outside with friends and have fun together. The picture that I chose was a picture of my younger brother, me, and my friend's little sister when we were hiking together. On a day wen we had nothing better to do, we played together, just like in the picture of the Jewish kids. With the exception of the differences of the years (black and white vs. colored, clothing style), the pictures are pretty much the same: Family and friends doing things together without worry of persecution.
