The canonical explanation for how Jews survived during the Holocaust involves some form of luck. To explore and deepen an understanding of episodic moments of luck, this article presents and discusses survivor Jerry Rawicki's close calls with death during the Holocaust. The first author examines Jerry's perspective as a survivor and her own perspective as a collaborative witness to his stories, as well as how these stories fit together within the broader literature about luck and survival. She suggests possible consequences of regarding luck as the sole explanation of survival and contends that agency and luck can go hand in hand even under oppressive structural conditions, such as the Holocaust. She concludes by reflecting on why Jerry and she might understand survival differently and on the importance of considering both positions in compassionate collaborative research.

Is it ok for white girls to wear French/Dutch braids? Is it cultural appropriation?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
It's okay. Whose culture would it be appropriating?
People think it is because braids are such a big part of black hairstyling. However, they are by no means exclusive, and white people, Hispanics, Asians, etc… have all worn Dutch (cornrow), French, and plain ol’ three-strand braids for centuries. Heck, some are even named after the Dutch and French (can you imagine?!?!)
Buzzfeed seems to think that the instant I wear more than two Dutch braids, I'm appropriating black culture. What “cornrows” are to black people are also “convenient and secure fighting hairstyle” to boxers a.k.a “boxer braids,” and “inverted French braids” or “Dutch braids” to Western hairstylists, for precision of language in describing a technique (Lois Lowry has permanently tattooed the importance of that into my mind.) Fulbe women have been creating intricate braided styles for centuries. Tibetan women wear 108 box braids because it is auspicious and sacred to them, and young Uyghur women wear them because it’s traditional. Cornrows are another style of braid that is, in this country, usually seen on black people. To me, it’s just a style that is pretty and suitable for my hair. My hair is too thick to fit into two braids; so I usually wear three, like in my profile pic. Maybe for some people it’s a big cultural thing and is loaded with meaning, but it’s not going to be that way for everybody. What this article sounds like is someone complaining that not everyone does things the way she does.
I have absolutely zero tolerance for those who unnecessarily bring up cultural appropriation over something as insignificant as braids. The whole “they're all called cornrows and belong only to black people” argument is complete and utter garbage.
And please, never listen to Buzzfeed when it comes to social issues. The article confused you because it's, again, complete BS. Using their logic, white people can’t wear bandanas, black people can’t wear scarves to bed, and my best friend can stop wearing a beanie to school because Muslim women are discriminated against for wearing hijab. Seriously, I could debunk the entire article sentence by sentence, but I'm far past my breaking point already.

demands?
exclusion of certain groups
collective bargaining
reading the Declaration of Independence
strikes
Answer: collective bargaining , strikes
Explanation:
Early unions used a variety of tactics, including slowdowns, sit-down strikes, boycotts, and strikes, to force employers to agree with their demands.
Thus, Option D is correct.
What goals did unions have in mind?The main objective of labor unions is to enable workers to collectively bargain for better working conditions and other advantages. A bargaining unit is a collection of employees with a specific community of interests who are (per US law) represented in collective bargaining and other interactions with management by a single labor organization.
The various forms of collective bargaining include the monopoly union model, the right-to-manage model, and the efficient negotiation model, to name just a few.
Thus, The union has a number of options for action, including boycotting, picketing, and strikes. Workers leave their workplaces during a strike and won't come back until the problem has been fixed.

What problems with money did the nation faced after the American revolution
Answer:
The newly created United States at first did not have a common currency, in which each state printed their own money. They also did not have the same trading partners, which meant it was hard to establish a currency in which there is worth. On top of that, the United States had a every-growing debt that could not be paid off, as their national currency was not backed by a strong government or military or even economy, but rather acted as what it was printed on, paper. There was no gauruntee for the money. It was solved by creating a foreign relations, building a strong army and economy, and each state used the same currency, or the dollar.
