A good friend of mine’s father managed to survive in Poland during the purges. His mother knew the soldiers were coming and so brought her very young son to a gentile lady she worked for. The lady kept him in the doghouse with the dogs when they were looking, for about a week or so, and when they moved on she kept him alive until after the war.
Was interesting learning about Hungary's involvement with WW2 while at the Houston Holocaust Museum. Apparently they were pro-Germany until they realized the Nazis were going to lose the war. The Nazis then rounded up the Jews in Hungary and sent them to Auschwitz for extermination. Only a handful were lucky enough to make it out.
I also just read Maus yesterday and highly recommend it. It's one of the most detailed accounts of surviving the Holocaust that I have read. And so brutally honest.

No, no it doesn’t. I’m anti vaccine mandate completely but saying this shite is fricking insulting to holocaust survivors and those that lost family and friends.
Just stop. It doesn’t help the agenda it just makes people look like insensitive morons.
You should really research what happened for decades before the holocaust. It is exactly the same. The holocaust was the killing of people. That is different.

Yeah, no one really foresaw a genocide coming.
Everybody saw the genocide coming. Germany had a love/hate relationship with Jews and vice versa going back a couple hundred years. They were also having issues in other parts of Eastern Europe and Russia. Zionism was in full swing, but they couldn't decide on a homeland and Turkey wasn't allowing them to settle in Palestine.

I would say still having fair and open elections is a pretty major difference between Nazi Germany.
It is the ultimate argument anytime someone tries to compare the two.

Wasn't there a guy who posted here whose mother or grandmother was named by the Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations?

Government records. I know a lady who lived in Belgium and before the war the Belgium government had records that denoted a persons religion. The Germans confiscated these records and it was easy to round up the Jews by the address on their government record.

How did the Germans know who was Jewish?
You never heard of Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa?

Anti-Semitism had been going on in Europe for a long, long time before the Nazis came along. Records were kept.
This. Jews had been persecuted for centuries in Europe prior to World War II. The Russian empire expelled Jews and relocated them the Pale of Settlement and prohibited from living in cities throughout Eastern Europe. The Spanish Inquisition was still going in the early 1800s and a primary function of it was playing who the jew. Jews were expelled from England, barred from citizenship in France, and generally barred from owning land or participating in most guilds throughout european history. Hence why you don’t meet a lot of Jewish farmers.
And this isn’t just Jews. European history is heavily influenced by various forms of caste systems based on your family lineage, religion, vocation, etc. People in Europe know who their neighbors are and have loose lips when the SS knocks.

The old joke is that the Jews wandered in the desert for 40 years because someone dropped a quarter. Maybe the nazi’s dropped a quarter and seen who picked it up. Or, they had a pig pickin’ and rounded up err body that stayed at home.

For one a lot of cities had Jewish communities much like we see little China in San Francisco, little Italy in NYC, etc so you start there. Then you go to the synagogues.
Also Jewish facial features are easily distinguishable from Germans. Keep in mind in 1930s there was very little inter racial breeding. So you had the light hair, blue eyes, pale skin of Germans and tan skin, dark hair, big noses of Jews. Not hard to figure out

Ironically, there were a lot of Jews at the end of the 1800s who thought that Germany was going to be their new homeland and didn't ever see being run out or rounded up.

The only thing that strikes me as odd about maus is the Choice of cats as the the Nazis and mice as the Jews.
It is aNatural for cats to hunt mice, and they are praised for it, as mice are seen as vermin that destroy foodstocks and generally no one minds when they are exterminated.
Seems like someone would want to get away from that analogy.

It’s extremely hard to leave everything you know and there is a lot of truth to how you boil a frog.
My own grandparents walked to Switzerland as teenagers together in the late 30s and were the only survivors in their family. Even after my grandmother longed to return to her “home.” It was where her people were buried after all. Grandfather on the other hand never spoke another word of German the rest of his life, joined the US military and was as patriotic an American you could ever meet.
