And that has what to do with the original topic, exactly?

I rarely go to shul. Why?

Religion causes too many issues, that's why.

With that said, I am proud to be a member of a religion that does NOT evangelize.

Again, how exactly did blacks benefit?
You're changing topics as an attempt to deflect from how very wrong you are... you claimed people don't get fired for making bigoted comments against other groups, and they do. Period. If I started going off about Blacks or Muslims at my job, you can bet dollars to donuts I'd be unemployed VERY quickly. Nice try, but your bias is clear - and rather disgusting IMO.

Ditto to all of the above.

She is still alive today, the only survivor from that branch of our family, and I'm quite sure she wouldn't give a crap if you consider her a real Jew or not.

P.S. As for WHY so many Ashkenazi Jews fled to Israel (Palestine) during that time period? Well, I guess it beat the heck out of being murdered by the millions.
Do you feel any sympathy for the Palestinians? They are currently living under Israeli oppression.

Are you aware that Hitler was part Ashkenazi? There were several groups of Ashkenazi who profited off the concentration camps.

I know it's controversial, but I think it's an important topic that needs to be discussed.

Everyone has been persecuted. No race or religion has been spared. There is an old italian proverb that roughly translated means to all a king to all a slave. Besides, you never ever hear much about the OTHER 5.5 million NON jews killed in the holocaust. Do you?

Fact. 11.5 million total killed in the holocaust. 6 million jews, 5.5 million non jews who suffered the exact, same fate. No Spielberg movie about THEM.....no museums, no press, no nazi hunting on THEIR behalf which makes the issue all the more ironic.... as if they weren't persecuted either.....never understood that lack of fair coverage....must have been republicans.....

To be clear, all 11.5 million suffered a fate of unimaginable horror. Jews, christians, mentally diminished, etc.....they were all burned, gassed, tortured or worked literally to death.

And noooooooo one talks about it and nooooooooo one makes noise about it.....anyone want to do a film on "the lost 5.5 million"? How about hollywood?
Whaddya say we cover them for some contrast. Build a museum for them? Cry for them?

All people have sufferd since man learned how to subjugate others. You only hear more about one particular group. And yes, as tragic as their trials and tribulations have been, they are not alone. Never were.
