The culture of Pre-World War II led to Connelly, John. “Hitler's Gospel.” I discovered how the Protestant church was

corruption along with anti-semitic writings
in Germany. This declaration of 2021, added to the culture of the time. Hitler’s
superiority led to the isolation and www.commonwealmagazine.org/ speeches about the pure blood German is similar
discrimination of the Jewish population Connelly, John. “Hitler's Gospel.” to the pure blood of ethinic Jews highlighting
at the time. By studying the parallels of Commonweal Magazine, 9 Apr. the parallels and importance of bloodline for

Reflection: My historic era never changed but my overall research question changed very often. I eventually fell upon the idea that history can
impact how we view society. Politics can be paralleled and show hypocrisies in things that are seen as straight forward facts. The challenge in this
was that I was diving deep into a topic that intrigued me without having the resources from good databases. I was able to use my sources and make
more own connections which was big success for me. I was able to connect primary sources to current data.
