“Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago, when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Casimir the Great - so called - told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. With nothing they came and with nothing they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history.” - Amon Goeth (Schindler’s List)
That was a creepy scene; that actor did a brilliant job.
Any analysis of the mass murders of the 1930s and 40s must separate people killed strictly as part of a genocide (which millions of Jews were) and people who were killed for political reasons. For example, Jewish members of the International Brigades who died fighting against Franco from 1936-1938 died as communists, not Jews - and Franco then provided a haven for many Jews fleeing the Holocaust shortly afterwards. Can’t call Spain anti-Semitic after that.
