It is worth pointing out that until the rise of the Nazis, German Jews were the most integrated and assimilated in Europe. It did nothing to prevent anti-semitism from climaxing the way it did, because the Nazis simply pointed to assimilation as infiltration and subversion.
Basically, don't make the mistake of assuming that Nazi "logic" was ever remotely in good faith. It never, ever was.
German logic.Or,to be precise, protestant german logic.Before Hitler they had volkist movement which do not liked jews,and before that,Martin Luder ,after short period when he considered jews as allies against evul catholics, declared that jews should be persecuted.
But german jews really loved their country,and could not undarstandt what happened to them when germans started murdering them.
Even jews in eastern Europe liked germans - they welcomed their troops during WW1,and in 1939 i read about few cases when they welcomed with flowers not only soviets,but also germans....
P.S Kind of real life joke from Poland - out ex-nationalist and ex-antisemite who become current polish premier/Tusk/ best buddy,Roman Giertych,go to Izrael to meet Natanjahu.
Interesting why...becouse Tusk had for him secret mission? but Tusk is known german agent.So....secret mission from germans? but Tusk worked for STASI first,and they worked for KGB,so....it is secret mission from Putin?
Do not fear,i am not mad yet.dude probably want to look good...question is,what Natanjahu want from him? Giertych is important in current Poland,but - so what?
