Answer:

Does this help?

Step-by-step explanation:

His father, Aaron , is taken away by the Nazis on Kristallnacht and is sent to the Dachau concentration camp. When Aaron is released six months later, Josef, his mother Racheal, his sister Ruthie, and Aaron all board the St. Louis, which is set to take them to Cuba. A week into their stay on the St. Louis, Josef has his Bar Mitzvah, but it is not this ceremony that makes him a man.

“When I see what’s happening today I just remember my family and how people don’t want you in their country. I understand people want to protect themselves, but people don’t have homes. It’s not their fault; they’re fighting for their lives just to save their kids.”
