The Germans had treated the Jews like they were garbage. If you wasnt working material they killed you. Also they seperated boy and girls and they only got to eat a serving of bread or soup. The jews actually starved to death because there belly's looked like crumbled cans. The Jews got screamed at, cursed at and even beating. They were both  kept like animals.The Americans died in there home land. They were both treated horribly. The Jews died in a concentration camp but the Americans died in there own land. Basically they both been through some hard times.
