Answer:
During the Holocaust, Jews who were living in Nazi-occupied countries were more vulnerable than German Jews for several reasons. First, German Jews had some level of protection under German law until 1935, when the Nuremberg Laws stripped them of their citizenship and legal rights. In contrast, Jews in occupied countries had no legal protection or rights.
Second, German Jews had more resources and networks to help them escape persecution or go into hiding, such as family members or friends who were not Jewish or non-Jewish organizations that were sympathetic to their plight. Jews in occupied countries, especially in Eastern Europe, often had less access to resources and networks because they were living in ghettos or had been transported to concentration or extermination camps.
Third, German Jews were often better-educated and assimilated into German society, which sometimes gave them advantages in finding employment or housing. Jews in occupied countries, especially in Eastern Europe, often lived in poverty and were more likely to be living in rural areas or small towns, which made them more vulnerable to persecution and deportation.
This suggests that the society's "universe of obligation" during the Holocaust was limited to certain groups of people, namely German Jews who were seen as having more value or worth than Jews in other countries. This limited universe of obligation meant that Jews in occupied countries were not considered as valuable or worthy of protection, and therefore were more vulnerable to persecution and violence. The Holocaust serves as a tragic example of how societies can create a narrow universe of obligation that excludes entire groups of people and leads to horrific consequences.
