The Warsaw Ghetto myth The ghetto fighters may have been brave, but they didn’t fight as long as has been depicted. And what right did they have to decide the fate of 50,000 others?

Like many Holocaust survivors, I’ve always felt uncomfortable about the way the memory of the Holocaust has been shaped. The myth of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is an excellent example. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising – the very name is deceptive. The Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto never revolted. In the summer of 1942 some 300,000 Jews from the ghetto were sent to Treblinka and murdered. Around 50,000 people were left in the ghetto; they were spared death at the time because they were skilled professionals who worked in German factories both inside and outside the ghetto. These people never thought about revolt, they thought about survival.
Only a small group of young people revolted, whose size and efforts were inflated to mythic proportions in Israel after the state was established in 1948. More importantly, the uprising, which started on April 19, 1943, contradicted the survival strategy of the masses of Jews who...

Racial characteristics (Europeans more likely to have ginger hair, Asian people tend to be shorter, Africans have more broad noses, etc) tend to develop when that group of people is isolated from others with differing racial characteristics. Since Ashkenazi Jews have never been in that position, I think this is more likely the result of inbreeding. Jews marrying their cousins rather than a non-Jew, resulting in the same kind of problems you see in bulldogs with heart disease and cross-eyed members of the royal family.

Children of horrifying incest 'cult' with four generations of in-breeding found living deformed, filthy and mute in scenic Australian valley
Richard Shears
11 December 2013
The dark, disturbing secrets of a picturesque Australian valley where unwashed children born from generations of incest lived with physical deformities in a 'cult' of 40 adults and youngsters emerged today. Incapable of intelligible speech, some of the children had oddly-formed features as the result of being born to parents who were themselves related.
Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts had sex with one another over four generations, raising childen in squalid conditions who themselves grew up to become intimate and have more inbred children. The children found living in filth in sheds and broken down caravans had numerous disabilities from their inbred births, including a boy with a walking impairment and severe psoriasis, another with hearing and sight problems and yet another boy whose eyes were misaligned. A nine-year-old girl, who could not hear or write and had fragmented and stunted speech, was unable to bathe or dry herself and did not know how to use a toilet or what toilet paper was.
