Danae: I've gotta tell ya, mister... that's an awfully boring tattoo on your arm. It's just a bunch of numbers. Man: Well, I was about your age when I got it, and I kept it as a reminder. Danae: Oh... a reminder of happier days? Man: No... of a time when the world went mad. Danae: So you kept it to remind yourself about the dangers of political extremism? Man: No, my dear. To remind you. "Imagine yourself in a land where your countrymen followed the voice of political extremists who didn't like your religion. Imagine having everything taken from you, your entire family sent to a concentration camp as slave laborers, then systematically murdered. In this place, they even take your name and replace it with a number tattooed on your arm. It was called the Holocaust, when millions of people perished just because of their faith..."
The Jews were not persecuted because of their religion but because they insist to be a people within other countries.
That’s hard to accept for the people who believe to be soverign on this land especially during an economic crisis like in the 1930’s.
