Answer:
The genocide that overtook Europe's Jews transformed Jewish identity throughout the world. Jews in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Yugoslavia, Germany and Austria were reduced to a tiny fraction of their prewar numbers. Even still, Jewish populations survived throughout Europe, including in Russia, the United Kingdom, and France.
Western European nations received substantial aid from the American government, and the Jewish populations in those areas relied on American Jewish organizations for help. The geographic centers of Hasidism in Eastern Europe were disproportionately destroyed during the Holocaust, but many sects continue to thrive on almost every continent. In 1948 the United Nations unanimously voted for an independent State of Israel (the area was at that time under British administration).
Aftermath
In the immediate aftermath of the war in Eastern Europe, the Soviets continued to downplay the role of race, as they had during the Holocaust, but while many Jews were devoted Communists, they were once again targeted as a suspicious people who could never truly be trusted comrades. Especially during the Soviet show trials in the 1950s and 1960s, Jews were purged from government ranks and executed in public spaces. Although Stalin voted for the creation of Israel in 1948, these public show trials served as “a form of public-pedagogy-by-example;” the goal was to exemplify the fact that ethnic Jews did not belong among the Communist ranks, that they were not equal with others. Even in the secular Soviet Union, overt antisemitism persisted during the Cold War decades. Many Jews made their way out from behind the iron curtain toward Western Europe, Israel, or the United States.
American Jews in the 1950s followed the patterns of other white ethnic immigrant populations. Many left large cities, focused on education, and joined counter-cultural movements in the late 1960s and 70s. American Jews often stood at the side of the oppressed, figuring prominently in the 1960s civil rights movement.
Meanwhile, Jews in Islamic lands emigrated from North African and Middle Eastern countries between the late 1940s and late 1960s when pan-Arab nationalism became exclusively Muslim and precluded participation from others. These Jews immigrated to Israel, Western Europe, and the United States. In France, the Sephardic population from Algeria, Morrocco and Tunisia brought new religious life and diverse customs to a community that was struggling after the trauma of World War II.
Jewish identity now
In the modern world, Jewish identity can seem scattered, confusing, and boundless. In the United States, Jews thrived in the postwar decades and several different movements gained popularity: Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist. In Europe and Israel, inspired by these American movements, a smaller fraction of progressive Jews have formed Liberal or other kinds of Judaism. From the 1990s to the present, some American Jews have joined in a worldwide trend toward religious extremism. At the same time, the Reform movement has grown. The traditional separation between men and women has been broken down and women are now integrated into the rabbinate in non-Orthodox circles.
Art Spiegelman, the artist and author of Maus, recently reflected, “One thing that’s become questionable to me is the way in which the Holocaust has become a central tenant of Jewishness in the late 20th century…. So that people see it as a Jewish problem and not a world problem.” The omnipresence of Holocaust education within the Jewish community combined with a sort of alienation from tradition, made the Holocaust into the unifying agent that brought Jews together. In the twenty-first century, young Jews have pushed against the Holocaust as the defining feature of their Jewishness and have sought out alternative ways to express their connections to Judaism. Jewish film, music, and cultural festivals abound, attracting Jewish and non-Jewish audiences. The largest such festival occurs annually in Poland and draws tens of thousands from across the globe—that this festival takes place in the country where the greatest number of Jews were massacred during the Holocaust, signals a turn away from that dark period as the benchmark of Jewish identity and toward new forms of Jewish expressioPHT hms of religious Jewish life can help us understand a religion shaped as much by its ancient origins as its contemporary disjointedness.

Read the excerpts from Frankenstein and The Divine Comedy. The first excerpt describes the reaction of the character Victor Frankenstein to a monster he has created. The second excerpt describes the character Dante's encounter with King Minos and other creatures as he journeys through hell. Which two statements correctly describe the connection between these two excerpts?
Answer:
A. Both narrators describe gazing upon a hideous being.
B. Frankenstein believes his monster to be even more gruesome looking than the creatures Dante faced in hell.
Explanation:
Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" revolves around a young scientist's desire to achieve knowledge beyond human limits, creating a monster. This act made him parallel to a god, capable of giving life to a being.
Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" focuses on the 'journey' of the writer (supposedly) into the afterworld. The narrative takes us along as Dante embarks on a 'tour' of the three realms of the dead.
In these two excerpts given in the question, we see Victor and Dante commenting on the respective monsters they encountered. While Frankenstein describes his monster as "a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived", Dante's Minos is full of "ghastly features".
Thus, the correct answers are options A and B.
Answer:
B

How does the food eaten in Sub-Saharan Africa reflect cultural collaboration?
Answer:
Explanation:
The foods reflect cultural collaboration when we look and compare the transition of travel away from the traditional or cultural food from homeland. We compare and see that in USA the missing foods are found in research to be missing African vegetables (34.2%), unprocessed maize meal (29.1%), camel milk (23.1%) and maize grain (13.7%) from the big supermarkets and all suppliers on an average as researched in communities in USA.
Associations of post-migration dietary and physical activity behaviours are very likely to change in research when 2 or more from same community mix with other communities.
So already we can see how important food is to cultural collaboration as full range food would always reflect culture from community to community culture and in natural change. It is believed such natural change would not defy significant change.
Where cultural collaboration would involve everything from food choice, shopping experiences, language, celebration, sharing, providing and community. Food represents a common language and artform for all communities in the Sub Sahara, as its not just about the products it includes the cycle of production like the farming. the selection process that walks with celebration to the harvest and how culture has celebrated its past and how it celebrates new present changes in modern world too. An example would be market growth in Maize and its need in Fufu and Eastern countries how they eat the milk and blood of cattle but do not eat the meat. The latter is tradition, and the new growth is the success in basic foods like maize and growth in basic vegetable food security in the north and not in all areas across the south.
Importance for success in culture requires regulation in communities
such as achieving food security.
To achieve food security however requires that:
1) Sufficient quantities of appropriate foods are consistently available.
2) Individuals have adequate incomes or other resources to purchase or barter for food.
3)Food is properly processed and stored.
4) Individuals have sound knowledge of nutrition and child care that they put to good use and have access to adequate health and sanitation services.
This inturn can prevent nutritional deficiency and social economic crisis, that can also affect culture due to need to change community should foods be unavailable or what was once good yield crops for farmers may at some point have become destroyed crops. Whilst other communities and countries in Sub Sahara, they experience destroyed farms from civil disruptions and savage attacks etc,

Explanation:
1. Explain the historical circumstances that led to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.
Ending of Seven Year's War, also known as the French and Indian War in North America is the main historical circumstance that led to the actions taken by the British in 1763. France ceded all mainland of North American territories, except New Orleans while on the other hand, British declared Proclamation of 1763 in order to stop revolt of Native Americans and to stop colonial expansion westward beyond Appalachia.
The main circumstance that led to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles was World War I. The Treaty of Versailles officially ended World War I and blamed Germany for the war.
The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, it was signed between the Allied powers and Germany. This is known to be the official end of World War I. President Woodrow Wilson is known for not wanting to be harsh on Germany, which was shown in his Fourteen Points. Even though he didn't want to be harsh on them, he could not say the same for other leaders.
The Treaty of Versailles ended up being extremely harsh on Germany and even made them take the blame for the entire war. Germany thought this was unfair, as they believed they had just as much to do with the war as anybody else. Not only did they have to take the blame, but they also had to pay billions of dollars in reparations, give up land, and size down their military. They could only have an army of 100,000 men, 6 battleships, and no submarines.
Along with all of this, the Treaty of Versailles is known for creating boiling hate within Germany and the German people. Many felt as if was completely unfair that Germany should be taking the full blame. The treaty is also a cause of World War II, as it raised tensions between countries and sparked hate within Germany.

En 1923, los nazis dieron un golpe de Estado conocido como el Putsch de Múnich, que tuvo como resultado la ilegalización del partido y el encarcelamiento de Hitler. - Tras volver en la legalidad, los nazis participaron en procesos electorales, llegando al poder en 1933 con Hitler como canciller (jefe de gobierno).
En las elecciones de 1932, los nazis ganaron el 33 por ciento de los votos, más que cualquier otro partido. En enero de 1933, Hitler fue nombrado canciller, el jefe del gobierno alemán, y muchos alemanes creyeron que habían encontrado al salvador de la nación.
