I wonder how many Jews in those early days weren’t worried about Hitler, because they thought he would only go after the “bad Jews.”

Kind of like the liberal Jews here, that think their enemies only want to destroy the “Zionist” Jews, and not ultimately them as well.

Somewhat ironic that Schumer is the one proposing a Reichsfluchtsteuer for the US.

I talked to a neighbor about that. His parents had been through the camps. He said that the memory of pogroms hadn't completely faded away. He said the attitude was that they had seen bad times before, and survived. "What's he going to do--kill us all?"

Unfortunately, and perhaps unknowably, the answer was "yes."
