Don’t YOU put words in my mouth, either. I said nothing of the kind. What records the Nazis would not have kept would be the records that would reflect, as they would be aware, negatively on them, same as the Egyptians would not have.

The discussion about Nazi records is quite the hijack at this point. This is an official moderator instruction **APPLYING TO ALL THREAD PARTICIPANTS** not to address it any further in this thread. Any of you, of course, are welcome to start a separate thread on that topic. But let’s have no more of it in here, please.

Thanks.
