You think the Germans were the ones doing the rounding up of the Jews? Ha, most countries couldn’t wait to do it for them.
I think there is quite a bit of truth in what you say. I understand that once Romania came under German "protection" the Romanians gleefully killed their Jews.

What was the impetus to eliminate the Jews in continental Europe?


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
