I have often disagreed with martillo, in private over the telephone, and
in public in *.religion.jewish.  So I really should state that he is
absolutely correct in describing wining (sic) instead of action as one of
the traits of pre-WW II Eastern European Jewish life.

One of the saddest aspects of the Holocaust was the inactivity of the
local populaces even in the face of ;information about Hitler.  Even in
1935, all you had to do was read "Mein kampf" and know that Hitler was
a madman, and therefore it was time to do something, even get out. Some
of my great uncles did that, but most of the others just sat and waited and
hoped vainly.
