Man, the 20s are a weird time. A century ago, it would have been the Germans asking the Jews if they were Jewish at gunpoint, not the other way around. It's almost funny how "never again" is now just "again" now that Israel is taking charge...

It wasn't just "the Germans" that did pogrom after pogrom to the Jewish populations of Europe and the Middle East.

It was all of them. Over and over again for millennia.
