Nadine did it occure to you that in 1933 few jews ...let alone anyone else realized what hitler would do?


Mein Kampf was published in the 1920s and Hitler's plans were made plain in it. When the Nazis took power in January 1933, they sprang into action - trade unions were dissolved, Jews thrown out of the professions, Universities stripped of professors who were Communists or Jews and Nazified, public book burnings of "decandent Jewish thought" were led by Goebbels and choreographed for the newsreels. Dauchau opened for business in the spring of 1933.

By the summer of 1933, the Third Reich had made its fascist obnoxiousness abundantly clear. Do read Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, if you haven't yet.

Just because it took most people longer to believe that Hitler really intended to avenge the "stab in the back" of Germany he was always going on about by re-arming Germany and starting WWII, and that he really intended to kill all the Jews on Earth, doesn't mean that the Nazi regime didn't give rational, liberal people plenty of grounds to object to it immediately.

Is that your plan, not to object to Ahmedinijad until after he matches actions to his rhetoric?
