True ... but a side issue compared with what the Nazis did to the Protestant Church and their own best people..............whose emigration greatly enriched the USA.....in science, art, music, ( Ormandy, Leinsdorf, Reiner, and so many others in music)literature, medicine ( Otto Loewi for instance).

Not really. We have the same today in people who overlook morality in favor of racism and potential wealth.

So many died -- many more than those who were lucky to escape.

Read Jung. In Biblical terms the sins of the Nazis and those who did nothing, will be visited upon them in the form of personal guilt to the umpteenth generation.

Having grown up in Chicago, I'd like to read a biography of Fritz Reiner. For the time being, can you give a brief account of what led to his emigration?
