If i were Sam, i would feel very left out and hurt. I think it is very unfair that i am being singled out by the people around me because of my religion. I feel very sad that i am being named “Foetus” or “Embryo” by my class mates because i am smaller in size and had little hair. I had never thought that i was different until that day, when my teacher questioned me. I felt rejected and i had never expected my teacher to announce that I was “different” from the rest of the class. This has caused the whole class to avoid me and instead started teasing me. My best friend has also joined in the rest of my classmates, he no longer talks to me. I am also shocked to hear what he said to me in class that he thought that i did not belong here and i should get out of Germany. When one of my classmate made fun of me by pasting a copy of the anti jewish newspaper Der Strummer on the blackboard and scrawled “Sam Eisner is a puny Jewish alien and a half- caste embryo”, and i told the teacher hoping that she would put a stop to this. Instead of sympathising with me, she replied me with a “Isn’t that what you are?”
