Let's say you have a house, and you want new windows. A contractor will come to your house, give you a proposal and say, \"Gilbert, it's $27,000 to replace the windows at your house.\" But with GreenSky in this mobile app, in 30 seconds, you can get a loan and it's $129 a month at a low single digit interest rate. You can pay it off at any time. We facilitated last year almost $10 billion of home improvement loans. That helps the homeowner do something that's important for them. It helps the small business owner that's selling windows sell more windows.

In the 1930’s and the early 1940’s, Shanghai, China was an open city. It did not require visas or certificates of good conduct from Jewish immigrants. This leniency in immigration allowed between 15,000 to 18,000 European Jews fleeing Nazi racial policies and violence to find refuge there. As World War II intensified, the Nazis pressured their Japanese allies to participate in the Final Solution and hand over the Jewish refugees in Shanghai in what was known as the ‘Meisinger Plan.’ The Japanese refused and instead established a ghetto in Shanghai, where between 20,000 and 25,000 Jews were confined for the duration of the war. Because Japan was allied with the Nazis and Japanese policy could be unpredictable, the Jews in Shanghai were nevertheless left in a difficult position throughout World War II. The Shanghai Ghetto was an area in one of the poorest and most overcrowded sections of Shanghai, China, in which more than 20,000 refugee European Jews were required to live by the Japanese during World War II. Unlike European ghettos constructed by the Nazis, the ghetto was not fenced in and Chinese residents were not required to leave. Jewish educational, religious, and cultural institutions were also allowed to continue and some Jews were able to get passes allowing them leave the ghetto. Conditions in the ghetto were difficult due to overcrowding. Residents were chronically short of necessities like food, clothing, and medicine. The majority of Jewish refugees in the Shanghai Ghetto did survive World War II, but overcrowding and limited supplies made severe hunger and illness widespread. The United States air raids on Shanghai began in 1944. There were no bomb shelters in Hongkew as the water table was close to the surface. Shortly before the end of the war, a United States air raid on industrial Hongkew killed 40 Jewish refugees, including seven Polish Jews, and hundreds of Chinese. The bombings by the United States 7th Air Force continued daily until the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, which ended the air raids.\u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/140201/file/259214#t=32.0,76.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/140201/file/259214/annotation_set/1680/annotation/108","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eSydney, Australia is the capital of New South Wales and one of Australia’s largest cities.

One mother, who had given birth to a son, placed him in a basket in the Nile River. The baby was found by none other than the Pharaoh’s daughter, who scooped him up, named him Moses, and raised him as her own. When Moses had grown up, G-d spoke to Moses saying that he, along with his brother Aaron, would be the one to take the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses challenged the Pharaoh, demanding freedom for the Israelites. When the Pharaoh refused, G-d sent a series of plagues upon the Pharaoh and Egyptian people. There were 10 plagues in total: blood, frogs, lice, wild beasts, diseases, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the most severe of all, the death of every Egyptian first-born son. In order to protect the Israelite children from the Angel of Death, the Israelites marked their doors with lamb’s blood, so that their houses would be passed over (hence the holiday name, “Passover”). Finally, Pharaoh surrendered and ordered the Israelites to leave Egypt. The Israelites were in such a hurry to leave Egypt that their bread had no time to rise. Pharaoh had also soon changed his mind and sent his armies after the Israelites. When the Israelites came to the Red Sea, they were trapped until G-d miraculously parted the sea.
