Bingo -- expansionism and nationalism. My great-aunt who wasn't Jewish ended up in a death camp (I believe Ravensbruck) and was experimented on by Nazi quacks. Fortunately, she survived and is alive and well today. (When I last saw her a few years back, she was 92, living on her own in Krakow, and could almost out-walk me ) Amazing tough old broad -- sadly, her brother (my grandfather) wasn't so lucky. He died fighting with the resistance in a small mountain town, leaving my grandmother and my mother, who was two years old at the time.
