My dad is a non practicing Jew. He bristles at 6 million. Yeah, 6 million Jews.
Nazi records show they actually exterminated about 12 million innocent souls.
"This was not just a crime against Jews" says my dad sometimes a little soft voice. "It was a crime against all of humanity" including 6 million more that the Jews to this day refuse to recognize.
This fact was a turning point for him Driving him away from his faith.

The Nazis not only killed Jews, but others as well. 12 million sounds like an accurate number. A large number of Germans didn't approve of the Nazi regime, but knew that they would be executed if they refused to follow the Party line. Irwin Rommel was a brilliant Army officer that was involved in the plot to assassinate Hitler. Needless to say, he was done away with. He had told people that he was a soldier, not a Nazi. General Patton admired him. Fanaticism is a dangerous path. We see that in the Middle East today.

I imagine myself as a little Jewish girl that saves the Nazis, from themselves. I meet with Hitler personally. He is enamored. I convince him it was not the Jews that forced Germany into recession. He believes me, there is no war And my reward is the pleasure of a magnificent soldier in uniform

I'm getting into old movies on the telly. Last night I watched "The Longest Day", a film about the Normandy invasion. It was a day that cost thousands of lives, but the fortitude shown by the Allies won in the end. The Brits were a major factor in the victory. Nobody thought about 1776. It's just one more example of how one-time adversaries can become friends; Germany and Japan are our allies now. I hope that Cuba will be in that group soon.
