Their discrimination  against were unacceptable to most employers and unwelcome at many colleges and Universitys. Most people were blame Jews for the Great Depression. Most Americans felt threatened by Germans , the Japanese and the Jews.

Charles Edward Coughlin was born into middle class family of irish heritage born 1891. He began his education with in the Catholic Church and school an recieved a bachelor degree from St Michael College. " In 1934 he announced a new political organization called the Nation Union Of Social Justice ". In one article he said Jews people are like cancer to the American society . During the 1936 presidential campaign. In Cleveland he took shots at the Jews.  He said " Jews are money changers and trafficker in gold , driven to acquire wealth. 
 Jewish people were afraid to sent their children school because local gangs would harrass or beatup every jewish boy they caught alone. Police report hundred different cases between Jewish men and women , edderly men being harrass by groups of gangs. He was one of the first political leaders during the 1930s to use radio to reach his audience.

I decided to choose this chapter because I learn about the Great Depression and different challenges that Jews  people face similar challenges that the Africa American face.
