Gene, please don't get me wrong. I by no means mean to minimize the holocaust. I have nothing, but respect for the jewish people, and their religion. The fact that they we're able to bounce back from an attempt of genocide, surely attests to their faith and courage. BUT, with that said....
You are talking about millions of jews, this article stated 5000 black doctors. So lets talk about millions of blacks throughout history.

Nor were they barred from practicing medicine
No. They were denied education. It was illegal for slaves to read.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote
Nor were they forced to give up their jobs, their homes and their professions and forced to live in squalor that was the ghetto.
No. They were forced to live in squalor and sleep in shackles, in the slave quarters behind masters house. They were forced to give up their families for a chance at freedom.

Nor were they herded into cattle cars and shipped off to, maybe, end their days in a living hell.
No. They were loaded onto ships (The slave-ship Brookes)like sardines, at least cattle is standing upright. If they got sick on the voyage over,they would be thrown overboard. That is why sailors had "schools" of sharks following their ships from coast to coast.
You see Gene, all races of people have gone through hell. It's what we do to prevent it from happening again. I think Rodney King was right about getting along.
