Thank you, SMR. I like the idea of children getting along well without considering possible differences. Excuse me if I give this example, I like dogs and had one. What always amazes me is how much fun they have with each other, no matter how old, how big or small they are, as long as they stay peaceful.
In gereral, we Germans have a strong feeling of Heimat, a belonging to the ground we live on. What I wanted to say is stronger than that Jews and Germans (of course the Jews were Germans) got along well. As long as violence, no matter from which side, does not break the social contract of trust, the people belong to the land and to each other, even more so if they have lived here for centuries and speak the local dialect. It doesn't matter how nice people are or whether they get along with everyone. Taking many people away from such a society is extremely violent for those who are the target and, differently but no less powerful, for the other side.
This may seem like a foolish perspective, and I understand the suffering and consequences of those who have faced deadly hatred. But I think it's worth considering that those who like to drive the Jews out of their country are also hurting themselves and their descendants.
