Jew During the War

I can't imagine what it must have felt like for Joe knowing that he is in America safe and sound while his family is still in Prague with the threat of Hitler running rampant across Europe. The constant worrying and trying to think of ways to help would have drove me insane. Drawing comics of superheroes beating up Hitler and the Nazis helped I'm sure, but that can only do so much. After his families death, when he finally couldn't take it anymore, he joined the military in order to try to get back at the Germans. This turned out to be a pretty bad move. He spend most of his military days in Antarctica where the majority of his fellow team died due to poor ventilation and was left with only a dog and a crazy pilot. When Joe finally got a chance to kill a German like he had so wanted to do when he first started, he changed his mind and tried to be peaceful. He ended up getting shot in the shoulder and accidentally killing the German; Joe thought that was the saddest moment of his entire life, he did not want to kill the man. I can't imagine what it would be like to kill someone. I think I would be like Joe and not want to do it. Life is precious.
