Legislation is nothing but paper, paper that can be torn up and destroyed. Protection provided by legislation only is very precarious indeed. In the United States, religion is protected by the very document upon which the entire government is based - the Constitution. Germany does not have any document that says that all men are created equal. Protection needs to be provided by an external document.The German Jews of the second half of the 19th century also thought they were living in a Golden Age. Germany was an enlightened country, with great advances in music, the arts and in philosophy. German Jews thought they were accepted on par with their Gentile counterparts. They grew prominent, rich and powerful and even scoffed at Jewish immigrants from Russia and Poland, called them "kis", since so many of the immigrants' names ended in "ki". The word "kis" evolved into "kikes". Jews fought on Germany's behalf during World War I. They were proud citizens, Germans first and Jews a distant second. All died. |
