Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to suggest people were not afraid of the Nazi's. I have no doubt people may have thought they'd be killed or detained for helping Jews. The Nazi's kept outstanding records however of everything. Two things they get credit for. Record keeping and propaganda. You say the same lie loud enough long enough people will start to believe it.

For example: The Nazis claimed the Jews were dirty lice riddles people like verman. They were spoutingthis well before 1939. At the time of course People would not have seen this to be the case. But after kicking the Jews out of their homes giving them little to no food and stealing all their money and possessions and having 12 to a room for 4 years well - they began to look dirty had lice and met the descriptions the Nazis were spouting the entire time.

A great two part diary from Vitor Klemperer is a fascinating read because unlike the less weighty Anne Frank(which is more for average Shmoe) Klemperer was an Academic teaching at a University in Germany. Victor was classed as a Mischling because he was married to a German woman so the Nazis were slower and different in their treatment to them. His accounts which span 1939 to the end of the war are highly fascinating and carry a lot of historical weight from yet another perspective.

I agree with most of what you're saying. But remember Schindler's List is not directly ABOUT the Holocaust - it is about one man that managed to save lives during this period and THAT can't be forgotten either. Because if one man can do that in that time under that threat against those odds -- that means something.
