Some interesting stuff, Rick, but I think it's naive to believe that Hitler's dream of an Arien Nation would have occurred by peaceful methods had Isreal been in existence to accept the first 900 refuges. It could have perhaps reduced the number of fatalities, but Hitler was a paranoid psychopathe and Nazi Germany would have marched forward without regard. On a seperate note, and keeping in tune with the original post, Perhaps the ancestors of Holocaust victims can therefore receive moneys from our government since the US did not accept that original shipload....

holocaust survivors never asked for money from anyone except there is a chap who is suing bmw for back wages he never received. seems he was slave labor in one of their factories during the war and he wants to be paid his salary. as far as hitler, he like many other psychopaths, can be stopped if they are slapped down before they get a head of steam. sort of like the democrats in the senate should have done with the first absurd appointment by, guess who, "W" but i digress
