("History is politics projected into the past" - Michael Pokrovski)
To: Homer_J_Simpson
April 30, 1942:
- The Jews of Pinsk, Poland, are ordered to establish a ghetto within one day.
Twenty thousand Jews will move into it.
- Twelve hundred Jews are killed in Diatlovo, Belorussia.
The Jews offer armed resistance, but it is futile.

"This frame shows the "spread" of Jews from Palestine after the birth of Christ.
Nazi propaganda continually emphasized the supposed rootless nature of the Jew.
As a diaspora people, Jews were portrayed as parasites who sucked the blood from nations in which they resided."
