The way most American Jews act in these times offers me an explanation for how the German Jews acted in the 1930s (and no, I am NOT saying that the times are analogous), that is, against their own interests.

A large majority of German Jews acted in their best interests, they left Germany. Unfortunately some could find no where to go, and many were able only to flee to countries like France and Poland, which later fell.

There is the famous story During WWII of the ship full of jewish refugees that came near the USA-- but was returned to Europe and its fate.

However, this was during FDR's democratic administration. So why don't the democrats get unending grief for this injustice.

Many did leave, but many did not since they thought "this couldn't be happening to ME." That is why--even in the face of continuing rumors about the dreadful fate that awaited them--they stayed within the "system." Too many packed cattle cars and too few Warsaw Ghetto Uprisings.
