Look into the history of the musical "Brundibar." It was composed by a Jewish man, Hitler loved it and had Jewish kids perform it in concentation camps, inclusing once for the RedCross, as propaganda to show how well they were treated. They were nearly all killed in the camp, including the composer.

if they had kumquats, it would still be happening in the same way that we took out Grenada. Reagan admitted it wasn't about nutmeg but rather a broadly leftwing government charting its own course.
