squeak- I agree with you totally. No-one realy knew what was going to happen and certainly , Hungarian jews did not believe the polish refugees who told them about the camps and the like,
This is why I say that you should not condemn anyone- not Gedolim ,who did not foresaw what would happen ,not zionist leaders who begged people to move to israel but also did not see the catastrophe coming and certainly not individual people (like Kasztner) who tried their best to protect whomever they could.
As you write- Judge the real ‘reshoyim”- the nazis and allow all the Kedoshim to rest in peace.
