What is find frighteningly similar are how the taliban and al keada (however you spell it) destroy books, films and most middle eastern culture in the name of islam as the nazis burned books.
ok, just see if I get this right. the song about everything being wrong because of the jews, was that making fun of the nazis? because when he says that "through my eyes" was inspired by that.... at least I have always thought that "through my eyes" was very much mocking the nazis. or have I understood the whole thing wrong?
@kyrastube The song (written in 1931) is satirical against the fledgling Nazi party. Hollander was making fun of Nazis using the Jews as scapegoats for everything wrong in Germany. The song starts with things humans can't control: hailing, raining... it's ridiculous to blame them for the weather. Also the line, "You ask me why / you just don't get it dear / they are at fault" is pointing out that the Jews were blamed, but with nothing to 'back it up.'
