Apart from all these, there were the refugees, the sur*vivors, whom we gen*er*ally treated with com*pas*sion and a cer*tain re*vul*sion: mis*er*able wretches, was it our fault that they chose to sit and wait for Hitler in*stead of com*ing here while there was still time? Why did they allow them*selves to be led like sheep to the slaugh*ter in*stead of or*ga*niz*ing and fighting back? And if only they'd stop nat*ter*ing on in Yid*dish, and stop telling us about all the things that were done to them over there, be*cause that didn't re*flect too well on them, or on us for that mat*ter.
