To be fair the Jew kid has probably no idea how it really was to live in a ghetto in 1940

To be fair, if they were in a civics class neither of them probably knew what it was like to live in any ghetto.

This is an argument two highschoolers had comparing apples to nazi oranges. Both suck and does a disservice to both groups to compare them.

Would a nazi orange be like a blood orange?

I guess I'm just ignorant, but a few points about why I wouldn't have gotten that without explanation:

1. I knew about the "nazis making them wear such and such so we can identify jews", but I didn't know they called jews "Jude"
2. I've heard of Yom Kippur, but have no idea what it was for. For all I know it could have been a sacred Jewish holiday in remembrance of the holocaust like veteran's day/nine eleven/memorial day. So even if I knew about "Jude", it could genuinely be an image you could use to represent that.

Again, I'll freely admit I'm a dumb american.

I didn't know the context of that picture either so I thank you for asking that question.

There really were a bunch of great things coming out of Germany during that period, wasn't there? With a few exceptions I guess.

That only really happened at Buchenwald. The camp commandant's wife, Ilse Koch, was really into tattoos, so whenever a Jewish inmate with interesting ink was selected, she'd have them flense those bits off the corpse prior to cremation and then tan them into human leather in various forms.

Having read Scourge of the Swastika by Edward Russell, I think there's a German word for it, can't remember it though

I had heard about this rumour but the article you linked seems to suggest it was very likely regular goatskin lampshades and the human skin leather was a sensationalist newspaper article:

quote:

Jean Edward Smith in his biography, Lucius D. Clay, an American Life, reported the general maintained that the leather lamp shades were really made out of goat skin. The book quotes a statement made by General Clay years later:

There was absolutely no evidence in the trial transcript, other than she was a rather loathsome creature, that would support the death sentence. I suppose I received more abuse for that than for anything else I did in Germany. Some reporter had called her the "Bitch of Buchenwald", had written that she had lamp shades made of human skin in her house. And that was introduced in court, where it was absolutely proven that the lamp shades were made out of goat skin.
According to the Buchenwald Report, there was a factory at Buchenwald that produced leather goods out of animal skins, but it had caught fire during an Allied bombing raid on the camp on 24 August 1944.[citation needed]

It's a big ambiguous because the last line isn't cited but still.

Edit - and this as well:

quote:

Under the pressure of public opinion Koch was re-arrested in 1949 and tried before a West German court. The hearing opened on 27 November 1950 before the Assize Court at Augsburg and lasted seven weeks, during which 250 witnesses were heard, including 50 for the defense. Koch collapsed and had to be carried from the court in late December 1950,[13] and again on 11 January 1951.[14] At least four separate witnesses for the prosecution testified that they had seen Koch choose tattooed prisoners, who were then killed, or had seen or been involved in the process of making human-skin lampshades from tattooed skin.[13] However, this charge was dropped by the prosecution when they could not prove lampshades or any other items were actually made from human skin.[15]

Not to continue this derail much further, but I've read accounts from Buchenwald survivors that, while none of them claim to have seen the skinning and tanning firsthand, lend more credence to both her being a horrible monster generally, and also to having commissioned the human leather things. We should probably let it go, though, this being the funny pics thread and all.
