And the Muslims are trying to escape...Muslims!

Germans were escaping Nazi Germany?
Really?
Did you fail history or just not take it?
There was this guy
Albert Einstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and this guy
Friedrich Hayek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and these folks....
MS St. Louis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
among many others.....
Friedrich Hayek wasn't a Jew, also he was very Conservative, you would have hated him, he left our nation post Anschluß for reasons that were political.
He taught at Universität Salzburg from the late 1960s until the late 1970s, a long time before I was born.
He died in Baden-Württemberg across the border, where Mama's side of our family are from this area mainly Heidelberg and near areas, Hayek died in Freiburg im Breisgau.
Members of Mama's family who have either passed or who are in their mid-90's, they all used to meet Hayek in various places when he moved there when he returned from his chosen exile, one of everyone's favourites was Bad Krozingen.
This is all I'm prepared to comment and this should be respected please.
Remember, this was the comment to which I responded
Germans were escaping Nazi Germany?
But you're right.....Hayek was Austrian.......but as they were effectively annexed, I not only thought his inclusion appropriate, but certain that my interlocutor may have heard his name in passing, I figured it would make the right impression...
Hayek was Austrian, I'm Austrian, we're not German, we're all Germanic peoples, but we're very different peoples in many ways, we share many common traits, but we are distinct in a lot of ways. It's complicated.
