My grandfather didn’t think anything could happen to him in a civilized country like Germany, when he owned a factory and many shops. Until on Kristallnacht when the thugs entered his home and dragged him out in front of his wife and little boys (my dad was 7) and threw hm into Buchenwald.

So I’ve never believed for one second that it couldn’t happen here. It could. It depends on us.

That scene from Cabaret gives me chills. Very well done.

"Never can happen in civilized country", "but we are German citizens" are some of the quotesI have read from Holocaust survivors. That is why it gets me so mad when I hear these left wingers call conservatives NAZIs.

The scene from Cabaret still gives me the chills as well every time I see it. If that scene were re-made today it would take place in a Mosque instead of a beer garden and instead of singing they would be praying.
