    • Nobody said thank you in those days.

    Correct Answer
    A. It showed that he respected him even though he was Jewish.
    Explanation
    The significance of Oskar Schindler thanking his Jewish factory manager lies in the fact that it demonstrated his respect for him despite his Jewish heritage. This is important because during that time, Jews were being persecuted and discriminated against in Nazi Germany. By expressing gratitude towards his Jewish manager, Schindler defied the prevailing prejudice and recognized the value and contributions of his employee, irrespective of his religious background.

    • He would be able to escape.

    Correct Answer
    A. He would be shot.
    Explanation
    If a Jew took off his star armband, he would be shot. During the Holocaust, Jews were required to wear a yellow star armband as a means of identification and discrimination. Removing the armband would be seen as an act of defiance or resistance against the Nazi regime, and the consequence for such an action was often execution. This harsh punishment aimed to instill fear and maintain control over the Jewish population.

    The correct answer is "To hide while they traded on the Black Market." This answer suggests that the Jewish businessmen chose to meet in the Catholic church in order to conceal their illegal activities of trading on the Black Market. By meeting in a place of worship, they could avoid suspicion and scrutiny from authorities who may have been monitoring their activities.

    • The name for the Jews who got away from the Germans.

    • The Jewish Council who worked for the Germans.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Jewish Council who worked for the Germans.
    Explanation
    The Judenrat refers to the Jewish Council that was established by the Nazis during the Holocaust. These councils were comprised of Jewish leaders who were forced to collaborate with the Germans in implementing their policies. The Judenrat's responsibilities included carrying out German orders, managing the Jewish population in ghettos, and providing assistance to the Germans in the deportation of Jews to concentration camps. While the other options may seem plausible, they do not accurately depict the role and function of the Judenrat during this period.

This preference for attractive women may indicate that Schindler had ulterior motives or was more concerned with appearances rather than qualifications for the job.
