The Jews became immensely, fabulously wealthy. They flaunted this wealth. They rubbed people’s noses in the dirt. They were the multi-billionaires of the day. They left in their wake tens of millions of people in abject poverty, penniless and hopeless.
These hyper-wealthy Jews built fabulous mansions. Even the least successful of them lived in splendor not seen since the arrogant extravagance of the latter Roman emperors. They were just as haughty, just as isolated in their palatial domains, and just as despised by the people.
THEN the Great Depression rendered everybody penniless with super hyper-inflation. A loaf of bread went from one mark to a trillion from 1919 to 1923 in Germany. The Jews escaped relatively unscathed because they hedged their wealth overseas and in precious items like artwork and diamonds.
THAT is why anti-Semitism was so rampant in Europe back then. THAT is why Jews were hated in every nation of the world; why no nation on earth would take in refugees from the anti-Semitic pogroms of the Nazi regime before the war.
Nobody Likes Culture Anyway
If people these days had a fraction of the backbone the Nazis did back then, they would rise up and take their small-town main streets back, transform dirty little trashed out downtowns into vital social, cultural centers instead of the ugly commercial behemoths they are right now……
Be that as it may, sending the Jews to work camps was just retaliation for what the Jews had done to the Germans a generation earlier. During the Great Depression, millions of Germans died of starvation and disease; virtually all the rest lived out their lives in abject poverty, hopeless shells of nothing.
