13.- This group of Jews gets their name from the Hebrew word for Germany:

Ashkenazi Jews

Sometime in the early medieval period, the Jews of central and eastern Europe came to be called by the name Ashkenazim,in conformity with the custom of designating areas of Jewish settlement with biblical names, Spain being identified as Sefarad , France as Tsarefat, and Bohemia as Land of Canaan.

By the high medieval period, Talmudic commentators like Rashi began to use Ashkenaz/Eretz Ashkenaz to designate what today comprises the country of Germany, earlier known as Loter, where, especially in the Rhineland communities of Speyer, Worms and Mainz, the most important Jewish communities arose.

14.- What is Talmud?

The Talmud (/ˈtɑːlmʊd, -məd, ˈtæl-/; Hebrew: תַּלְמוּד talmūd) is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law (halakha) and Jewish theology. Until the advent of modernity, in nearly all Jewish communities, the Talmud was the centerpiece of Jewish cultural life and was foundational to "all Jewish thought and aspirations", serving also as "the guide for the daily life" of Jews.

15.- What "document" is Oscar Shindler most remembered for?

He is known because he made a list of Jews chosen to work in one of his factories but in reality it was made to save them from the holocaust. I strongly recommend to se the movie Shindler's List.

16.-Where do Sephardic Jews get their name?

Sepharad which is how Hebrew called Spain.

17.-These three things allowed jews to keep their identity after the fall of the second temple and their exile into the diaspora?

Jewish identity can be described as consisting of three interconnected parts:  

Jewish peoplehood, an ethnic identity composed of several subdivisions that evolved in the Diaspora.

Jewish religion, observance of spiritual and ritual tenets of Judaism.

Jewish culture, celebration of traditions, secular and religious alike.

1.-Holocaust?

Massive slaughter of people

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
