History (Arts & Humanities) - June 2006

This is one thing that I don't quite understand. The Jews are smart people who have high achievements, wealthy and had significant influence in many countries' economies throughout history. They have proportionally far more Nobel Prize Laureates than any other people, including the one and only Einstein.

If it is because of skin color or appearance, I don't see how they differ much from Italians or Greeks etc.

Can somone who knows more about history or religions please explain?

If you could choose 5 events from history in which to participate and/or observe, which would you choose?

For instance, in no particular order, I would want to participate in the Great Salt March of M. Gandhi in India, as well as see Frida Kahlo work on one of her self-portraits. I would also like to witness an original Shakespeare production of "A Midsummer's Night Dream," and act to save wise women from persecution during the Salem Witch Trials. Last but far from least, I would like to have heard Sojourner Truth give her "Ain't I A Woman" speech.

French North Africa during World War II?

During World War II Western North Africa was under the control of Vichy France. I've read that they "fiercely" resisted Americans during operation Torch. Why wouldn't they just surrender, especially to a force which could liberate France from Germany?
