Do you know that the Third Reich put out tons of "comic books" depicting Jews as exactly that, "filthy vermin", before descending into murdering them? Maus is a direct reference to that shamefulness!

@AnneWimsey I understand it's being a parody but when that gets parodied then Jews will be depicted as vermin. I don't understand the need to depict it as anything other than of human shame so this whole Maus issue is beyond me.

@rainmanjr no, no, in the Nazi "comics" the Jews were Literally depicted as rats, pointy noses, rodent ears, hairy, dirty. Google it!

@AnneWimsey Oh, I see. I thought it a modern creation that mocks Nazi's so is popular in polite society. Jews already know the Nazi's have always seen us as vermin so that's of no great shock. I haven't enough interest in society's nonsense to google Maus, though. If we figure it out and live together then such insults die. If not then it no longer matters. Humans have no more time for Big Hate. This one kills us all.

@rainmanjr extensive propaganda to make their extermination seem fine.....sadly it worked great!
