Yosi Hoshen stated the following with regard to the Nazis having placed
different types of Jewish people into the gas chambers:
> ...It would not make any difference if we did not know of our Jewish
> background, whether we were atheists or orthodox, our fate would be
> sealed.  A very unpleasant and unjust situation, but a fact of life.

The last statement of the excerpt bothers me. Would the situation have been
any less unjust were the Nazis to have allowed  the differentiation between
the different beliefs held among different Jews?
