    I did, don't really think they are gonna mass murder us with it, lots of jews at my workplace have openly gotten it and I doubt they would poison their own.

    If I knew that it was possible to save all the children of Germany by transporting them to England, and only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter, for before us lies not only the numbers of these children but the historical reckoning of the people of Israel.

    In fact, there was a Jewish diplomat who reported to his superior that he could free all Jews from Germany if he paid the NSDAP $1m, and the response was to leave it alone because when the nations would be divided after the war, the Jews need an argument why Palestine should belong to them. I'm not sure about the exact source, but I believe it was featured in Probing the Holocaust.

    (I'm not saying it was 6 million Jews, or that the NSDAP intended to kill them, but that doesn't take anything away from this point.)
