102. It was intended as a barb.

Apologies if it struck too close.

My family background is German, though my mom's side left about 400 and my dad's side in the later 1800s. I can fully understand how Germany accepted Hitler. The economy was in shambles, Hitler promised better. Hitler created division by blaming Jews, Gypsies, and Homosexuals (interesting irony there), thus creating a bogeyman for the population to hate. Propaganda was effective, and the truth suppressed. I too wondered how and why those who eye-witnessed the truth didn't manage to spread the word (even in secret). Then I saw similar begin to incubate here, and understood. Some Germans were simply struggling to get by...if keeping your job meant keeping your eyes closed, sobeit. Others bought into the propaganda, either by willfull ignorance, gullible ignorance, or in the hope of bettering their social status. Those who saw or suspected the truth, and opposed the evil, were simply out-numbered...and to speak out was suicide....and a death sentence for their family. Thats how it happened.
