I suppose all the conquered nations bowed the knee to Hitler. Fuck it, so I'm wrong about the rest of Europe.
I remember as a child in Paris, in the little playground at Notre-Dame-des-Champs, among the noise of play, one boy shouting at another - "salle Juif" . He didn't mean anything by it, just a petty insult.
Funny how moments of that sort stick with me.
@tuban_muzuru Depressing, isn't it? I remember similar from Dublin in the 1980s, unconsciously anti-Semitic jibes from kids who I'm quite sure had no idea what they were saying. But I never heard an adult take umbrage now that I think of it.
