Cobalt, Hitler also gave them autobahns and trains running on time, so what? The Germans have created some of the greatest cultural treasures for humanity, they should have been better prepared as a "Kulturish" nation to see through the demagoguery, they failed, Europe paid the price. Actually, I was quite surprised that Israel, in 1950 (after bitter deliberations) decided to "normalize" relations with Germany. The last time, the Jewish people were so devastated by an irrational and envious foe (Spain), the Jewish leadership imposed a "Herem" (in essence a total boycott) on that nation for 500 years, and for the most of it, that Herem held, and I believe it held back that nation advance for quite some time. That Herem was finally terminated in 1992.
By the way, Anna Luxemburg was a real problem for Hitler, she was both a Jew and a communist (g). many young Jews in 1933, joined the communist party in Germany as the only way available to resist fascism.
