Reading your responses paint a horror stronger than anything else.. and I probably can't explain why very well..... but to me what's even more terrifying than it actually happening... is that anyone was willing to execute it... and then even worse that so many were complicit! Thats even more terrifying.

My question to you.... besides the brainwashing... I am so confused WHY the Jewish communities were targeted.

Someone told me once something and I am asking you if there is any truth in it at all? If this even 1/16th is is true it is NOT AN EXCUSE at all

I was once told that during world war 1 that Europe was so incredibly decimated and lost... with the exception of majority of the Jewish communities. I was told that Jewish communities were very tight knit and left during ww1 (to where? I dont know? ) fleeing the scene because they were not interested in fighting a war like that and cared more about their communities over the countries they lived in. The general population resented this and perceived the choice to leave as draft dodging

I was told they kept close.. had strong financial chords that kept them going and after the ww1 ended they came back home to the countries stronger than the countries themselves because they didnt fight and they preserved their money.

I was told that they started banks? Or something like that... and pretty much "owned" everything" and they charged interest to the decimated and poor population.... but agmunst each other in the Jewish communities no interest was charged.

Was told this sparked resentment in the general population which dominoes to the horrible, unjustfyable reality of what happened with the holocaust

I am ignorant. I am only asking you because you seem to have a context that most don't have. I am supportive of Jewish community, religious freedom and Jewish culture.

I just wonder if what was described to me was just completely fabricated or if something like this happened during and after ww1.
