On page 180, we are provided with some details to explain why Hans didn’t join the Nazi Party. Summarize what you learn, and then explain if you agree with his reasoning for not joining the party.

Unlike most Germans, Hans has no hatred for the Jews. His life, was in fact, saved by a Jew..... Max's father. He also has many Jewish customers in his business. Hans refuses to join the Nazi party, and even helps fix Jewish stores, which have been vandalized. I completely understand and support Hans' reasons for withholding his membership from the Nazi Party. His refusal illustrates acute foresight and strength of character.
