Sure we were lied to. Anyone who studies military history and understands how wars are actually fought knows full well that Germany was in deep doo-doo when it was forced (or rather suckered by Stalin, Churchill and FDR) into fighting an impossible two-front war. Jews, not only fought for Germany they made up much of the German labor force which the allies located in what we know as "concentration camps." Jews were highly skilled workers. And without Jewish workers, Germany couldn't have lasted more than two years. Most of the German men had to fight a horrible war in Russia. Thankfully, France supplied Germany with much of its needed food which is why France was called "Germany's milk cow." Not only that but the Jewish workers in Germany were given more food and healthcare than the average German citizen because they were working so hard. The demographics tell the whole story. The World Almanac in 1938 reported that the world Jewish population stood at 15,748,091, with 240,000 Jews in Germany. The American Jewish Committee Bureau of the Synagogue Council in 1939 reported 15,600,000 Jews world wide. The World Almanac USA in 1947 reported that the world Jewish population was 15,690,000. Old Almanacs never lie — but propagandists always.
