And last I checked Jews lived happy lives in Germany until WWII started.
1933-1939 In January 1933, some 522,000 Jews by religious definition lived in Germany. Over half of these individuals, approximately 304,000 Jews, emigrated during the first six years of the Nazi dictatorship, leaving only approximately 214,000 Jews in Germany proper (1937 borders) on the eve of World War II. In the years between 1933 and 1939, the Nazi regime had brought radical and daunting social, economic, and communal change to the German Jewish community. Six years of Nazi-sponsored legislation had marginalized and disenfranchised Germany's Jewish citizenry and had expelled Jews from the professions and from commercial life. By early 1939, only about 16 percent of Jewish breadwinners had steady employment of any kind. Thousands of Jews remained interned in concentration camps following the mass arrests in the aftermath of Kristallnacht (Night of the Broken Glass) in November 1938.

Well, I guess you haven't checked any history books then. In 1933, the Nazi party began taking action to limit what Jews in Germany could do. At that point, there were over 520,000 Jews in Germany. 60% of those Jews realized how the noose was tightening upon their necks, and left Germany, so that by 1939 prior to the actual start of WWII, only 214,000 Jews were left.

I know this is going to piss a lot of people off, but I really am curious. If what is quoted above is true, then how did the Nazi's kill 6-8 million Jews?
We are turning into a police state. Things like what happened in this article www.examiner.com... happen almost every day and people aren't even shocked by them anymore.
