Holocaust, very little cfa

a simple illustration of why the holocaust is indeed remarkable, 

>From the jacket blurb of Mendelsson Is On the Roof by Jiri Weil:


Julius Schlessinger, an aspiring SS officer, has received his new 
orders - to remove from the roof of Prague's concert hall the statue 
of the Jew Mendelsson. But which of the figures adorning the roof is 
the Jew? Remebering his course on "racial science", Schlesinger 
instructs his men to pull down the statue with the biggest nose. Only 
as the statue they have carefully chosen begins to topple does he 
recognize the sole composer he knows - Richard Wagner. On the stage 
of the concert hall, another statue is wreaking havoc in Don 
Giovanni as, seated in the audience, Reinhard Heydrich, Acting Reich 
Protector, contemplates his own daunting assignment - nothing less 
that the extermination of all the Jews. But how to find them and 
round them up in this frustrating city? Leaving the hall, he looks up 
to a sight worse than treason - it's incompetence. Mendelsson is on 
the roof.
