Next time don't get 100% cotton, then it won't need to be ironed.

Your implication being that the Jews in Nazi Germany failed to see what was happening until too late. Melodramatic claptrap.

I thought that was a historical question discussed for years...

[Question: Did the Jews in Europe realize what was going to happen to them?
Regarding the knowledge of the "Final Solution" by its potential victims, several key points must be kept in mind. First of all, the Nazis did not publicize the "Final Solution," nor did they ever openly speak about it. Every attempt was made to fool the victims and, thereby, prevent or minimize resistance. Thus, deportees were always told that they were going to be "resettled." They were led to believe that conditions "in the East" (where they were being sent) would be better than those in ghettos. Following arrival in certain concentration camps, the inmates were forced to write home about the wonderful conditions in their new place of residence. The Germans made every effort to ensure secrecy. In addition, the notion that human beings--let alone the civilized Germans--could build camps with special apparatus for mass murder seemed unbelievable in those days. Since German troops liberated the Jews from the Czar in World War I, Germans were regarded by many Jews as a liberal, civilized people. Escapees who did return to the ghetto frequently encountered disbelief when they related their experiences. Even Jews who had heard of the camps had difficulty believing reports of what the Germans were doing there. Inasmuch as each of the Jewish communities in Europe was almost completely isolated, there was a limited number of places with available information. Thus, there is no doubt that many European Jews were not aware of the "Final Solution," a fact that has been corroborated by German documents and the testimonies of survivors...]

[Jews living in Nazi Germany were not allotted the advantage of hindsight that we enjoy today. At the time, Jews were unaware of the fact that one stage of persecution was to be followed by another, and they were not even aware that the persecution they were enduring would continue to happen in stages...]

Thank you for posting that. Let us hope that it is not also deemed to be claptrap.
