Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "Hitler started killing Jews in 1933." True, but the numbers were negligible before June 1941. Before then, some Jews (and others) were put in concentration camps, but the numbers of deaths in the prewar years were small. In 1933, the Nazis began passing laws that made it very difficult or impossible for Jewish owned businesses to survive. Many Jews began emigrating, if they could afford it, and the Germans took their money when they did this. Re: "By 1941, millions of Jews had already been murdered." The killing in large numbers didn't start until mid 1941. That was about the time it should have become obvious to the Germans that they were in for a nasty war. Most of the killing was over by late 1942. Here are some links that give a pretty good feel for numbers and the dates: yad-vashem.org.il yad-vashem.org.il I'm not pointing this out because there is any importance to these details, which I am quite possibly incorrect about; I will let Nadine correct me. But I think that we should never forget, and that means never forget the details. Particularly for something so recent that so many people alive then are still alive today. -- Carl
