I find it interesting that the stories of Nazi persecution of the Jews is always a side story, but now that the atrocities on Bataan have come out, there is outrage and front page headlines.
The Jews of Europe aren’t “our people.” The Germans are mistreating millions of Soviet POW’s as badly if not worse than the Japanese are treating the GI’s who surrendered on Bataan. But they are not “our people.”
Not condoning any of these atrocities, it’s just that some things will grab an American’s attention more than others. And this feeling will change once guys from Kenosha Wisconsin and Atlanta Georgia walk through the death camps.
