Thank you for quoting that! I meant to copy and didn't.
When we read Stefan Zweig earlier this year, I was interested in Peter Gay's introduction to
Chess Story (also because I took a wonderful class with him on 19th century European bourgeoisie in college). That led me to read his memoir,
My German Question, which addressed just that issue: why didn't more Jews leave. His family
just barely managed it.
I also was shocked by that quote; Jews blaming other Jews for what happened to them!
