Taking a Stand

Out of all the choices, I honestly have to say that I really don't know. It's hard to imagine what you would do in a situation if you've never actually been in it, but I think that Andre's decision was the right one. I don't think that it seems fair to break someone's shop, or hurt their business because of their race or their religion. It's just as bad as being sexist. I think if a 12 year old boy can make the right decision, then I don't think that it is hard for an adult to be able to make the right one. But I can also see the reasoning behind Melita Maschmann and Dietrich Goldschmidt. Sometimes, it's okay to be scared of standing up, especially if you know your opposition is much stronger than you are. You are not only putting your life in danger, but you can also be putting the ones you love in danger. I know that if I were a mother, my first priority would be my children and family, no doubt. I really feel though, thinking about that, if I had been in that situation, I would have thought about keeping my family safe rather than voicing my concerns.
