This stripped the Jews of one of the most unique things about their individuality. “I became A-7713‚ from then on I had no other name” (Wiesel 42).

creating a Jewish state on Jews living in other countries would be a great change to the world. For instance‚ Jules Cambon sent a letter to Nahum Sokolow stating that creating a Jewish state would be a deed of justice.
