Nadine, that's pretty good going. Since it was such a short event, being only a couple of years of major league genocide, the trail would be all over the place in various records.

People tend to have all sorts of records stashed all over the place, so piecing together who was alive and who had what children and grand children and great grand children is fairly hard to obliterate. Immensely difficult to piece together no doubt, but with a LOT of people interested in such a thing, I guess a lot of progress could be made.

With modern genetics, there could be a fairly precise family tree built up to see just what did happen, though I guess paper trails would do a good enough job.

I suppose some very clever people with pretty good funding have been working away at the whole matter for a long time.

It seems to me that the lesson of that murderous history is being shuffled sideways, blaming it all on Adolf and "Nazis" rather than recognizing how common such tendencies are in people. I guess in any population, one could rustle up 20% "Nazis", or the local equivalent, at the drop of a hat.

Normally, such people self-censor as their attitudes are unacceptable in the normal course of events. When the time is right, they come rampaging out of the crowd and the murderous megalomania is in business again.

The unemployment levels in Germany are quite high right now. It wouldn't take a major economic downturn for there to be quite a lot of concern. Maybe they will soon be in uniform and doing some marching and saluting. I will NOT be surprised to see another round. Not necessarily of Jewish genocide, but simply German aggression. Unemployment gives people certain ideas.

With Islamic Jihad bumping up against them, and unemployment, and two or three generations having been born since WWII, some major paradigm shift could happen quite easily.

Light fuse, stand clear.
