It not only demonstrates what happened at that time, but also confirms that not all Germans supported it.
Just as not all Brits support Labour's anti-semitism.

There will always be someone wanting to make a scapegoat of the jews ( and israel is full of jews ) but israel is not going to let another genocidal lot loose on its people .

I hope that we would have been better than that.
Hitlers racist attitude , that anybody who wasn't a "true German" were an inferior race, encouraged him to create special security forces. If the British were in the same position, I wonder how many would have risked their own lives to support people that had migrated here?

Any comparison of Israel with Hitler is anti semitism .
There are 'Palestinians ' all over the Middle East
Only the Palestinians who are so-called oppressed by Israel get media attention .
The ones oppressed by Lebanon, Kuwait, Egypt and Syria and who are being bombed by Syria get nothing.

As were the French , Italian Polish and all other European Jews they had lived in Europe for hundreds of years .
Would we have rounded up our Jews and meekly sent them off to Germany to the gas ovens ?
It happened in Guernsey where British police handed over four young women who subsequently went to Auchwitz.
