Hitler was ‘solving’ his social problems by building furnaces..... THAT’S a far cry from EXPECTING immigrants, who live on the dole, to assimilate
Actually I was thinking a bit deeper than that. Hitler’s Germany embodied an extreme form of nationalism/racism that went well beyond the holocaust. Americans and English especially were believed to be inferior on every level.
The very word, assimilate, seems to mean one thing from speaker to speaker in 21st century America. To some it’s little more than learning the language, to others it’s seen as an impetus to completely and totally anglicize.
