ADOLF HITLER
Adolf Hitler conquered many other countries such as Italy, Greece, or Denmark. Leading his troops known as nazis hunting down Jews, mentally challenged, and the gays.
If he caught any of the Jews, mentally challenged, or gays they would be taken away by the nazis to these camps called Concentration Camps and would be slaughtered.
Jack was Jewish too. And one day he was coming home and found out that his mother was captured and taken away to a concentration camp.
His mothers best friend named Mrs. Paizak saw his mother being taken away and was gracious enough to take care of him and take Jack as her own.
He was made to change his identity by changing his name to Kubush.
The man was his father. His father escaped to Russia when Hitler took over Poland.
Many months later while Jack was still living with Mrs. Paizak a visitor with a strange accent came to stay with them for the night. Jack thought it was a German. But he was wrong.
A year went by and one day he was almost captured by a nazi to be taken to a concentration camp. But luckily recently he has changed his religion to Christian than Jewish.
