I do not imply in any way that the Nazis only exterminated Jews. They did murder other "useless" human beings such as the disabled, but their ultimate goal in which they almost succeeded was the extermination of the Jewish race. 6 million were killed. Men, women, children, alike regardless of their religious observance. They were murdered simply because they had a sufficient amount of Jewish blood. There was no escape from the Nazis even if you were only part Jewish. The extermination of Jews was their ultimate goal.

The extermination of Jews was their ultimate goal.

They would have had to have taken over the world, or most of it, and hunt down every last Jew. I've no doubt they were diabolical enough to do that. There were many Jews in the US and Canada, don't know about other countries. Russia had many Jews, some Western ones were exterminated in the death camps, some they didn't get at, but were driven out by the persecution in Russia. Many US Jews came from Russia.

We should/could have taken in more. I haven't forgotten that we turned away a shipload full of them.

Then then there were some that got deported into Siberia from Germany or Poland. I had a book about it once and how the living conditions were for them there. Now I can't remember how they managed that since they never completely took over Russia.

It's late, and I apologize for oversimplifying a complex matter.

It seems to me that a lot of this was hidden from the American people at the time, and I never understood why.

I think your point is well taken, not only with regard to this thread, but in general. NOTHING could compare with the Nazi atrocities in the 30's and 40's. And as a Jew, I've always found comparisons of isolated cases with anything Nazi related tasteless.

As for the Schiavo case and the "slippery slope", I'm not so sure we're headed in that direction either. But there is much more to the Schiavo story than we know now, I believe it will come out sooner or later. The question is how "over the top"is it to request that an independent expert witness an autopsy in Pinellas County? Is there a precedent for it? It seems to me to refuse such a reasonable request, given the unanswered questions about this case raises suspicion that someone is trying to hide something here.

If you just dispassionately look at all the actions Michael Schiavo with his scuzzy lawyer have been taking in the past few years, there needs to be a thorough investigation of Michael Schiavo. And one more question: What kind of reputation does the ME of Pinellas Cty. have? I think that's also important.
