    Oh yeah, all of the "west loves jews" stuff after the war was complete revisionism. Aside from the MS St. Louis, there was also the Evian conference where every country agreed that some other country should take the jews but not their country. And then of course FDR refusing to bomb the concentration camps despite American Jewish groups begging him to do so at the time. Its just weird that my education never told me about the Soviet Union saving 2 million jews. And yet we laud Schindler for saving 1200.
