The accepted explanation of why hitler's anti jewish policies were welcomed by the germans and the poles, is that the jews refused to participate in civic and military activities. The average citizen was angered by the jew's refusal to fight to defend the "homeland" even though it was painfully obvious that the jews were reaping the greatest rewards of their nation's economy. The average citizen, having strong feelings of pride and nationalism, would naturally dislike these people. The average german would naturally conclude that they were sending their children off to die so that the jew's children could live in the lap of luxury while at the same time having contempt for those that are sacrificing for them! Accepted by whom, people who read Der Strumer for history? The writers at CODOH and IHR?
One of the main Nazi claimswas that Jews were too involved in German affairs in Weimar. They also blamed Jews for the defeat of the Central Powers, claiming that they had "stabbed Germany in the back!" How could Jews do this if they lived only in their communities?
The reality is taht Germany Jews were among the most assimilated. The Reform movement was created in Germany for this purpose.
As for Jews not surving, this is a malicious lie. Jews served and died in World War one in disproportionately high numbers.
If Jews didn't serve, how could they be in the German and Austrian ofice corps?
You have a lot of hostility towards Jews. Are you a North African or Turkish Muslim as your screen name would suggest?

I don't have hostilities towards jews.
NO, I am not muslim. I am just a plain generic protestant that never goes to church.
I came up with my screen name right after 9-11. Back then congress was voting on whether or not to formally declare war on alquaeda. It was my way of supporting a vote for declaring war. As you know, they voted against it.
The only other time in the history of the US that congress declared war against a group of people that was not a nation or country or government was when we went to war against the barbary pirates. At the end of that war, some dignitary of egypt gave a ceremonial sword to a high ranking officer in the navy to show his appreciation. That's where I got the idea.
The only problem I've ever had with jews is the way my buddies jewish wife gets treated by her jewish freinds. They seem to run her down for marrying a non jew. I'm not sure why, but that seems to bother me.
