During the holocausts, weren't the "Jews" being murdered the distant relatives of the Germans?

You could advise a young woman who goes to frat parties and gets drunk to ‘stop being so rape-able’. This doesn’t make the frat boys not criminals but it is a simple fact that the woman can reduce her chances of being assaulted significantly by changing her behavior. If it was possible for Jewish Germans to assimilate and make themselves not targets it’s a valid and compelling thing to do. Regardless of the criminal guilt of their government.
