The vast majority of the German population of that time MUST have witnessed the ever-escalating discrimination of the German Jews and their subsequent deportation.
This whole subject is just much too important and grim to allow any kind of "inaccuracies" when discussing the actual historical events.

I salute you Ramon. I salute your willingness to openly and honestly face the truth regarding a dark episode in your country's history.
Your example is something that a lot of people in the world could learn from, including many of my own countrymen.
