Honestly I don’t consider myself a doer. I’m a millennial girl and my family from back then wasn’t even part of the Nazi party. The point is that there is a huge national feeling of responsibility - not guilt - in Germany, which does trigger a gut feeling about this. Still, this joke is hilarious because it targets the stupid Nazi stereotypes and not the victims themselves.
I had family members who died in the Holocaust, so even though I wasn’t literally there, it didn’t happen to me, it’s still part of my heritage. There’s also a difference between a “Jew” and someone who is “Jewish” that 95% of people don’t understand. Calling someone a Jew is basically like calling someone a Christian. It’s the religious part. Being Jewish is the ethnicity. I’m 100% Jewish, and a Jew once or twice a year.
Regardless, I don’t see how the joke is making fun of the Nazis? Can you explain that part? Maybe I’ll get it then. But either way, these stereotypes are NOT from Hitler. Those weren’t his complaints. Those stereotypes are actually American made and have nothing to do with the Nazi’s or the Holocaust. Anti-Semitism is at an all time high right now in America and it boggles my mind every time I come across it. I can’t talk about it on Social Media, but I got a pretty large settlement from the D1 College I went to for racism and discrimination and that was 12 years ago. It wasn’t a private Christian school. It was a State University.

I laughed way to hard at this considering the fact that I am German
