The following is a hyperlink to an EXCELLENT teleplay on the topic of the Wannsee (= "Wann Lake") Conference:

And yes: The person at the center of this controversy is a legitimate Holocaust survivor: Believe it or not, Jews were systematically persecuted by the Nazis even prior to 1939.

Yes (see my post at #13). Autocorrect changed it to Warner for some reason, and I didn’t catch it until after I clicked “post”

As the son of a holocaust survivor in the most literal sense, I think the “holocaust survivor” tag is normally associated with people who were personally subjected to Nazi persecution, such as concentration camps, ghettos or under Nazi occupation. Epstein did suffer the loss of family members, but she was not personally subjected to Nazi persecution. The use of the label is misleading because it makes the person out to be a personal victim of brutality and thus, worthy of the greatest sympathy and deference in matters of injustice.

PS. So “fake holocaust survivor” is probably a bit of overkill, but using the label without qualifying it at all is clearly a form of misleading exaggeration.

Perhaps: “Hedy Epstein, who escaped Nazi persecution...” or something like that is what should be said.

I think it started with the Nuremberg Laws. It was building before then, but it was the Nuremberg Laws that stripped the Jews of their citizenship and imposed other restrictions upon them. It was a slow steady process. Mainly because there was no room to hold them. It was only with the conquest of Poland and the building of the death [concentration]camps that things speeded up. From the enactment of the Nuremberg Laws to and after the Warner Conference, experiments were conducted on the most efficient manner to dispose of the Jews , including mass shootings and carbon monoxide poisoning. Then they came up with the idea to use Zycoln [sp?] B.

The thing is, most Jews were actually relieved after the passing of the Nuremberg Laws.

“Ok so, that’s the worst they can do to us.” It really wasn’t much of a change from the way things generally were in Europe throughout history. Jews were always discriminated against in such a manner. Ironically, Germany was probably more tolerant of Jews than any other European country before the Nazis took over.

And in fact, for a few years, things did calm down a bit, and probably at the time most Nazis were satisfied with the current policies. For others though, it wasn’t enough, Goebbels and Himmler especially wanted to turn the screws even more, and they needed a pretense to do it. Then the opportunity came when a low-level Nazi diplomat was shot and killed in Paris, and resulted in Krystallnacht.

From that point on, it was all downhill.

Thanks for the additional information.

Thanks for your sharing your opinion on it. I was having a hard time knowing if she should be called a Holocaust survivor or not even though I was leaning toward not. What it brings to my mind is someone who was in a camp and lived to tell the tale.
