Given the Anti-Jewish legislation in pre-war Nazi Germany anybody suggesting it wouldn't have happened without outside interference is at best not even in denial but an out and out apologist. Why would it have been worse, what could be worse than the Holocaust and a World war killing millions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What makes you think the Holocaust and a world war wouldn't have happened? I've given examples of the Nazi's attitude to Jews in an earlier post. Hitler's plan for a New Order envisaged him, after conquering/annexing Europe and Africa, attacking the USA. Technically it might not have counted as a world war because he wouldn't have been fighting everyone at once but would have involved fighting the same people and the death total would have been similar if not greater.

Part of the "outside interference" was us taking in Jewish refugees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

We know the Holocaust and the World war Happened, we also know there was outside interference which led to the slaughter of millions, we have some knowledge of how the Jews were persecuted, but only supposition of what would have happened to them if the World war hadn't intervened.

Pettytom 1 #103 Posted February 21, 2020 Wow. Brexit really has led a lot of right wingers to feel emboldened to share their noxious views. We’ve got full on eugenicists and Nazi sympathisers loose on this thread. I am becoming ashamed of this country and many of my fellow citizens.

The Holocaust happened,Mengeles headed a eugenics programme. These programmes based on lunatic beliefs would have continued for longer without outside influence. Or do you see it otherwise. Just to keep the subject somewhat on track,one consequence of Brexit that I do not want is that the far right who led the call for Brexit,largely by appealing to some of our populations baser instincts,are reined back by the moderates. Unfortunately it does seem that some fruitcakes are emboldened by the message that they are hearing from this government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
