In reply to the discussion: Can someone who is knowledgeable give me a brief history lesson of why the Jews are so hated. [View all]captain queeg
(11,780 posts)7. Thanks that's very enlightening.
There used to be a holocaust museum in Portland, very close to where I was living. I didn’t make it down there and if closed. I don’t know if it relocated somewhere else. Obviously it wouldn't have many relics, probably just films and pictures. But I’ve read quite a bit about the holocaust, I was interested in earlier history. The video (I read the transcript) was certainly informative. It seems like religion was certainly a big part, but not all of it. Reading the language presented I imagine trump carries a lot of that forward applied to generic immigrants.
