The Jews were still smiling - Jaylyn

The Jews held content,clueless smiles on their faces before the holocaust because they had faith in humanity. One reason the Jews had faith in humanity is that they were treated well. When the Nazis showed up in the towns of Jews they were kind, gentle, and giving. little did the Jews know that they were only prepping up for horrible times to come. For example, the Nazis would throw bread onto the streets for the starving Jews, earning their trust piece by piece. The Nazis also bought chocolate from the Jews and treated them as if they were friends all along. Another reason the Jews had faith in humanity is because of their strong belief without a clue of what was going on, they didn't believe the things that they should have and did believe the things they shouldn't. They just couldn't believe the such friendly, kind people would show such cruelty. When the the Jews heard things about the Nazis being bad people, they would say things like, that's crazy, or I won't believe that. Once, Ernst Happner, a Jew of a small town once said, "that's what we heard, but we just could not believe it. That was too incongruous." How could they believe that the Nazi's were gearing up to ruin their lives when  they were treated so well? The Jews had strong faith in humanity, so even when the mischievous Nazi's landed in their town, a smile never left their face.
