@dreamssofblue

Perhaps if you tape yourself interviewing a former nazi who agrees with you, people will take you seriously.

@zofe

You're seriously grasping at straws: he says "kalt". Just like a German speaker from a southern region (Bavaria/Austria) would pronounce it not like you would pronounce it since you obviously don't know German.

And how would a foreign actor be able to speak southern variety of German so naturally?

I am Jewish

[dreamssofblue]

@breeeegs i think you are not understanding what Hitler defined as a jew. it seems you think a jew is a race or simply, judaism religion.

[breeeegs]

ATM machines are Jewish? I don't talk about my religion with them when I use them, our conversations are usually restricted to the world series and 12 century middle eastern philosophy

Nazis, the most stylish and efficient people in the world!

@MissAPierce There were a few Nazi party members who risked their lives to save Jews. Unfortunately, they were the exception. Many more were enthusiastic about helping with the war effort and believed that it was their duty to kill the Jews. Even most of the German populace was eager to rid their country of their Jewish neighbors. They also denounced them simply because of bigotry, to settle scores, jealousy. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be Jewish at that time.
