Had you lived in Germany in the 1930s, you'd have probably just gone along with the flow. Men with guns are surrounding the house next door? The bagel place on the corner's gone? Hmm...whatever.

The data show you're a decent person who's willing to listen to what people of authority tell you. That's what most people are, and in most times and most places, that's ok. But not then; not there.

The sad conclusion: you would've missed your Jewish friends, but you would've done nothing about it. Seriously. But rest assured, you would've forgiven yourself eventually

This is what I got too. I saw a program on PBS about the German cinema industry from the late 1920s through World War II. Many filmmakers and actors had to leave the country because of the rise of Nazism. (One of them was Billy Wilder) Marlene Dietrich helped many to come to California.
