Bystanders
Regina Prudnikova
In one video interview, for example, a Lithuanian witness, Regina Prudnikova, recalls that before the massacres, she cared for a Jewish child in her town, Pilviskiai. But, “I was very young and had a very red face,” she explains, and was “on the chubby side.” That wasn’t good. “I was told that Jews cut you and take your blood.” She stopped babysitting.
She now mocks such beliefs, but her tone becomes uncertain: “I know that they say the Jews can’t live without Christian blood. During their holidays they had to have at least a drop of that blood to taste.” Then, the recollection returns. The Jews were taken away and shot, their homes plundered. And we see a photograph of a wagon piled with loot being auctioned to passers-by.
Prejudice- preconceived opinion about a person or group that is not based on reason or actual experience. Usually a negative opinion.
Based on the reading what led Regina to have these false beliefs about Jewish people?
How do these false beliefs and prejudice cause people to stand by as the Jewish members of their communities were taken away to be killed?
