When they were sent to work camps, they couldn’t understand why, because they had been raised from birth to believe that the dehumanization and exploitation of non-jews as holy work. “What on Earth are we responsible for? We did nothing wrong! We are just jews suffering once more under vicious and cruel host nations!” Eventually they were forced to work–which meant hard, physical labor. To a scrawny, physically weak jew, such things as hauling dirt, cutting lumber, and operating machinery were not something they considered work. Not only due to their physical weakness, but due to their upbringing. They preferred buying a bolt of cloth and selling it to someone at a markup, or opening a bank and collecting usury.

Sad.
