    She lived through the war?? I take it she wasn’t one of the Germans the Americans took to the camps and rubbed their noses in the genocide then. I’m also pretty sure she wasn’t on the Russian occupied side, considering she lived to 96 and not 16

        And she knew we knew she knew.

        Just too proud of a bitch to admit to having been on the wrong side of anything.

        Like >60% of humanity suffer from that, at least. 100% of people some time, some people 100% of the time.

        Oh right I forgot Nazis are just fuckin trolls. She knew what they did and was only disappointed they couldn’t do more. Shame they didn’t let ladies fight on the eastern front.

      What difference would it make? Holocaust deniers don’t actually think it didn’t happen.

        Well this first generation, yeah, but I have met some very ignorant rednecks in my day…before the internet when they all got online. Some of them thought it was just something they made up for the movies, probably because they were raised by actual racists.
