People of the New World can't differanciate when it comes to Europe.

[Bereta_Eder]

It's so true especially for Germany.

Some think that the whole Europe was Nazi whereas it was just Germany. They think the whole Europe killed jews whereas it was just Germans or their pawns. And most importantly they don't know that there was a holocaust of european people by the Germans and that it was not just the "jews". And they don't know how many peoples fought hard against Nazi germany and its allies.


That little wrist watch in the neo-fascist in the sum of all fears brings this up nicely


Crap movie BTW. Go to be numbed

Large parts of Europe willing participated with The Nazis in the Holocausts, and very large portions participated to get along with Nazi occupiers. Their was anti-semitism and other Holocausts' blood on hand all over Europe.

See?

[Lefty Scaevola]

Even Britain suffered from anti-semitism at the highest levels of goverment and the military. Some of it quite public. Veiw the "generals revolt" against Hoare-Belisha.

Romamnia and Jugosalvia were particulalrly into the extermination of Gypsies.

In the less than 5 years Greece has had a Holocaust memorial, in Thessilonika, it has already been vandalized twice.

[Traianvs]

don't forget, in past times (the middle-ages and so on) jews in europe were quite discriminated as well, the only professions they were allowed to have had something to do with commerce, and we all know that merchants knew how to cheat.. , i guess that's why lots of people (even today) think that 'jews' cheat when it comes down to money... boloocks of course, when i was in rome, i got cheated at least 3 times by those italian cab drivers or restaurants, lol
cheating is part of man i believe, everybody cheats (here in belgium everybody cheats with the goverment taxes...


another thing, before the christians crusades messed up the middle east, jews and arabs lived together pretty well, it's quite remarkable to see how the situation is today..

anyway it's all in Karen Armstrong's books, if you want to know more about it

Reminds me of those merchant guys in Venice.

[Felch]

Poland and France collaborated a great deal with the Nazis in regards to anti-semitic activities, and they weren't traditional allies of the Germans at all.

[Bosh]

Actually IIRC Romania began large-scale extermination of Jews in camps before Germany did (although the Germans still beat em if you count in Einstatzgruppen(sp?)).

[Frankychan]

I'm not one of those ppl. I know that some countries participated in the "Final Solution" while others fought the Nazi's. I know that many Germans fought against the National Socialist party and helped to save the Jewish ppl.

So that's one less 'ignorant' New Worlder for ya!

[Adalbertus]

And Greeks seem to forget that the Nazi had to keep the holocaust as secret as possible befroe the German population in order not to lose all loyalty.
If I'm not mistaken, most Germans thought that the Jews were forced to do slave labour. Which is not particularly nice, but the threat to join them is usually sufficient to silence more inquiring questions.

[Adalbertus]

Oh, and when some Americans think they have the right to pick on Europeans in general because of some idiots: Most problems with neonazi groups in Germany are related to some idiots in the USA (exploiting a liberty of speech they don't have in Germany, for a good reason).
