the Jews out of their country when they got wind of a plot to round them up? Seems I read that about everything that could float transported them out of the country.

edited to add:
When asked after the war why they did that, they replied "what else could we do?"

Other countries were asked why they didn't protect the Jews more, their answer was "what could we do?"

Erdoğan has earned himself as much sympathy in Nederland as he would have by making the same accusation in Israel.

I was with some Turkish acquaintances here in Germany earlier today. I know Erdoğan has some Turkish support here but the people I know would be about as happy to see him here in Germany as I would be to see Trump.
