Let’s qualify. Are they setting the conditions as it was in Poland, where aiding a Jew in any way or manner would result in that person and their whole family being killed?

Jews and Christians would be hiding together.

I’ve heard 1/3 of the colonists were for independence from Britain, 1/3 were followers and 1/3 were crown loyalists.

The problem 1/3... I’m not surprised.

Obama supporters, Democrats, BlackLivesMatter and probably a lot of Jews that voted for Obama. Jews known as Sonderkommandos helped clear the gas chambers and operated the creamatoriums.

What a weird question. Probably, during the Holocaust, a maximum of 3% of non-Jews would have hid Jews. And this is entirely dependent upon which country we’re be talking about.

There is an obsession with picking at scabs, and your mama told you to leave them alone.

My personal favorite hero of that era was champion cyclist Gino Bartali.
He was a three-time winner of the Giro d'Italia and twice won the Tour de France.

CNN reported it like this:
"...Using the handlebars on his bicycle to hide counterfeit identity papers, Bartali would ride to Jews in hiding and deliver their exit visas which allowed them to escape transportation to the death camps -- he is credited with saving the lives of 800 people..."

Lets be honest, One would have to seriously consider whether giving refuge to a family of strangers at the risk of ones own family would be rational.

I really am not sure what I would do in that circumstance. I think many would feel similarly.

That is approximately how many voted Zero into office.

And of that third (which probably consists of the majority of government employees) most of the government employees would actively seek to turn Jews in.

I wonder how many of today's police would actively assist in turning in Jews to the Nazis. Going by the fact that human nature is the same now as it was 70 years ago, and you have the same types of people joining the police forces here as joined in France before WWII, we only have to look at the French police to see what would happen. As you can guess, the French police assisted the new government in every way they could - after all they were government employees, and since they were only following orders and wanted to go home to their families at night (did I forget anything?) they rounded up the Jews just as they would any criminals. If you want to see exactly what the French police did look here

Technically I suppose I wouldn’t either...because I’d be providing him arms and adding him to my company fighting the bastards. :)

The percentage of WWII era Germans who would not hide a Jew from the Nazis was a hell of a lot higher than 31%...

Given the nanny-state attitudes of so many Americans today, I’m pleasantly surprised so many people said they WOULD risk their lives to defy the government.

69% isn’t bad.

This is the same one-third who agreed to be disarmed rather than fight.

Last sentences are interesting:

According to an analysis of the data, males were more likely than females to shelter Jews, as were married people and homosexuals over singles and heterosexuals, respectively.

In addition, religious people were more likely to answer yes than secular people, as were Southerners over those from the Northeast.

I know a pair of Lesbians who are very conservative who have said that it might come to hiding Jews and Christians before it is all over.

the poll was conducted as part of a unique marketing ploy to promote the digital release of Return to the Hiding Place...

This is what passes for news nowadays; marketing ploys and project placement masquerading as "news".

Sixty-nine percent said they would agree to risk their lives to hide Jews, while 31 percent said they would not.

I'll bet that 69% is a much higher % than the german population that actually helped the Jews when it was not just a question.

The % that actually helped was probably less than one percent {or there would never have been 6 million Jews butchered while most germans pretended to "know nothing" like sgt. shultz}.
