I literally did not know about this until today

      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.

    I actually didn't know this either. Really cool to learn. Thanks, Stalin!

    Also when you look up the Soviet Union on Yad Vashem they only have a 3 page document and most of it was about what the nazis did while occupying the soviet union. And when Stalin established a Jewish Anti-Fascist committee, he did it for "political reasons". Straight up propaganda from a "museum".
