My parents refused to sit in VW's, BMW's, Mercedes Benz's because they were supporting the Nazis.
I didn't tell them that US car manufacturers did have factories in Nazi Germany also, otherwise they wouldn't have driven anywhere.
They found it bewildering that the largest Nazi supporting automobile and other German companies had been mainstreamed here in the US, and support Republicans and red state "right to work" assembly plants (their only non union shops in the world).
My Jewish parents fled to the US in 1955 after their first born was murdered by the Cuban regime.
Being immigrant Cuban Jews was not an easy life for them, especially in the 1950's and 60's.
The OP picture makes my gut tense and I feel anger rise at the familial losses.
I think of Qwackanon's "the Jews will not replace us" mantra and freak out at how unsurprising it is here (in the US), just as I found the anti Islamic mantras here also.
