The year is 1944 and the place is Anytown, USA. A family hears a radio broadcast announcing the existence of concentration camps in Germany as they are sitting down to eat dinner.

Billy Bob: I am tired of hearing about this war because I don't like the thought of people getting tortured, especially while I'm trying to eat.

Elizabeth: I don't like it 'cause it's mean.

Tiffany: I feel the same way. People shouldn't have to go through life being tortured and having other people ganging up on them just because of their religion.

Megan: This whole concentration camp thing has to be fake. No one could really do those horrible things. I don't believe it's happening and I won't believe it! (She runs out and the family ignores it. Apparently, she does this often and they are all used to it)

Duke: Anyway, concentration camps definitely should not exist because I have friends who are Jewish and they're just as nice as everybody else. I don't understand Hitler or why he hates them so much.

Sarah: Can someone pass the potatoes, please?

(Dave rudely enters by just bursting through the door and sitting down at the table)

Tiffany: Excuse me, but neighbors are to knock before entering my house.

Dave (ignoring Tiffany): So, What's for dinner? Hey, did you guys hear all that stuff about concentration camps? Forget that, man. Jews have the same rights as other people. They shouldn't be treated as animals; they're human beings!

Duke: I agree with you, Mr. Collins, but I honestly don't understand the whole thing. Of course it's wrong, but I'm confused as to how anyone could possibly think that it's right to discriminate against an entire group of people. I think we should get involved and start ending the ignorance and hate; Americans waste too much time just having conversations about it with out actually doing anything.

Elizabeth: Yeah.

Dave: Whatever, man. All I know is that it's craziness, just craziness! People starving, slaving away all day just to be randomly shot or shoved into a gas chamber by some Nazi soldier...they're wrong for that! Nazis, I mean. I heard that they're even killing women and children!

Billy Bob (angrily dropping his fork to his plate): I've had enough of this morbid talk! Obviously, what the Nazis are doing is wrong, but do I have to hear about it constantly? It's all happening so far away...here in America we're not even affected by it and I certainly don't think that I should have to hear all the gory details from some uninvited guest while my family is trying to have a nice dinner!

Dave: Well, excuuuuuuuse me for being informed about current events! Just because the people who are dying are an ocean away doesn't meant that we aren't affected. America has tons of soldiers - guys just like you and me - over there fighting for those dying people. Not to mention the fact that if Hitler and the Axis Powers win, America will definitely be affected...he's sure to spread his hate over here, too. We should be just as concerned and involved in this whole affair as European civilians! (Gets up and storms out as abruptly as he entered)

Elizabeth (after Dave shuts door): He's weird.

Duke: That may be, but he's certainly got a point. Think about how awful things will be if Hitler does win. If America and the other Allies can't stop him from killing innocent people, then who can? And what would keep him from coming over here and killing American Jews and anyone else he doesn't like? You should put yourself in the Europeans' shoes, Dad, 'cause who knows? Pretty soon, we might actually be in their shoes.

(Billy Bob nods thoughtfully before turning back to his meal)
